One Indian elephant living on the island of Sri Lanka somehow found its way into a canal on Tuesday and was quickly swept up by the strong current. The steep cement banks of the canal made it impossible for the elephant to climb up over the side. A group of rescuers joined workers from Sri Lanka's Department of Willdlife Conservation to help the trapped elephant escape from the Aluthwewa Z-D main canal. Rescuers used branches, ropes, and harmless but frightening blank shots from rifles to guide the elephant to a bank of the canal where they placed wooden trunk-holds for the elephant to grab onto to pull herself up.
Four bakers working the overnight shift were trapped inside the El Bolillo bakery for two days due to severe floods brought on by Hurricane Harvey when it struck the southeastern coast of Texas. During that time, the bakers worked non-stop to produce thousands of baked goods for the storm's victims, using four thousand pounds of flour to bake from Saturday all they way until Monday afternoon. The police picked up the loaves and delivered them to Hurricane Harvey victims.
