These 10 puppies were rescued right before Thanksgiving…and got treated to a warm bath, a lot of love, and their very own Thanksgiving feast! Now, all they need is a forever home they can truly be thankful for. This pack of pups was taken in by 2nd Chances Rescue and wonderful foster moms Andrea, Amy, and Kristi. You’ll be thankful for this downright adorable puppy feast. 🙂 If you’d like to take home one of these puppies yourself, please visit the rescue organization’s website (or donate if you can)! You can also follow them on Facebook and Twitter. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/thanksgiving-puppy-feast/
Rob Lopez is a huge Star Wars fan. So, naturally, his son Sebastian is, as well. (And he loves Darth Vader.) One of the joys parents get to experience is having fun with their children. That’s why Rob and his wife (but mainly Rob) decided to see how their son would react if Darth Vader woke him up in the morning. Likelihood of traumatizing their son: ~15% YouTube But, I don’t know what’s better…this dad’s costume, or how his son reacted! Thankfully, their son proved that the Force is indeed with him (and Darth Vader is whipped). Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/darth-vader-wakeup/
Near-death experiences can be harrowing for both onlookers and the lucky soul who survives. A bus was driving down the street when its dash cam recorded something incredible. Just as it passed a construction site, a crane began to fall…with innocent passers by on the sidewalk. Wait for the 0:26 mark… He was seconds away from a very bad situation. If you live in a major city and have to walk beneath scaffolding and cranes, you might think that the construction causes countless deaths every year (if you are exceptionally paranoid, anyway). However, according to these crane accident statistics, “a world wide total of 86 incidents involving the collapse or major structural failure of a tower crane have been identified as taking place between 1989 and 2009.” But that doesn’t mean this guy wasn’t any less lucky!

David Bowie, after battling cancer for 18 months, has passed away. According to a statement posted on his social media accounts, he “died peacefully, surrounded by his family.” Bowie’s final album, Blackstar, was released only days ago on January 8th, his 69th birthday. He was an incredible artist who challenged society’s notions of rock with his glam rock, punk, and electronica hits. Getty Images / Larry Busacca Archive During his 40-year career, he pushed boundaries, changed lives, and served as an inspiration for countless people both young and old.

The best life hacks are the ones that improve your day…and require very little effort. This “hack” is perfect because it works, only requires a couple of things you already have in the house, and takes about 30 seconds. When you see what she does with a simple clothespin, you’ll be amazed. I’m going to do this to every vent in my house. Even if you don’t have scented oil, you can buy it at almost any drugstore or pharmacy. So, get crackin’! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/diy-air-freshener/
Having an animal companion is a wonderful part of life. They give you companionship, entertainment, love…and, sometimes, they help you out around the house. Service animals are trained to help their human friends. This cat, however, just naturally lent a paw to her owner. Just wait ’til he touches her nose! Cat on…cat off…the catter! Rumble This may be the world’s most helpful cat. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/touch-cat-lamp/
It’s been nearly 15 years since the World Trade Center towers were attacked by terrorists. The events of September 11, 2001, were horrifyingly tragic. When the towers fell and innocent people were killed, it changed the lives of countless people both in the United States and abroad. The attacks created a moment in time that can never be forgotten. Most U.S. citizens, no matter their age, can distinctly remember what they were doing when the planes hit the towers. Many people were at work, school, or just getting ready to leave for the day. The NYU student that filmed this video will certainly never forget exactly what happened. Watching the violence and chaos on television was traumatizing enough, but imagine being a young student in the city, close enough to clearly see the towers. In the video, you can hear their frightened reactions and panicked calls home. This is a perspective that not many people have seen of the 9/11 attacks. The video that Caroline filmed may be hard to watch. Many remember only the news reports, but this video gives more weight to the terrible tragedy. (via KISS 107) The people that lost their lives that day will never be forgotten, and this rare perspective of the terrorist attacks reminds us to more fiercely honor their memories. Years may desensitize people to what really happened, but this video shows us the horror and truth of that fateful day. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/dorm-room-911-video/
Some rescue crews have equipment that helps save the lives of animals, but this unit in Vancouver did not. When this dog needed desperate help after being pulled from a house fire, the firefighters had to act quickly to save his life. After a candle sparked the fire, the dog passed out from smoke inhalation. Thankfully, the crew knew how to use the tools they had to bring this pup back from the edge. It’s a good thing they were quick to act! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/house-fire-dog-rescue/
This little boy is Noah — and he loves Spider-Man. So, when he went outside to play and saw Spider-Man, he was thrilled! He ran up to the superhero and gave him a huge hug. But then…Spider-Man took off his mask. Spider-Man was great, but DAD? That’s even better! Spider-Man (a.k.a. “Jason”) flew home from serving in Afghanistan to surprise his son and wife. Their daughter Kali was just born, and he wanted to give the entire family a huge treat. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/spiderman-dad-surprise/
A YouTuber that goes by Kelly Murphy recently uploaded a GoPro video of herself snowboarding. Filming yourself doing such a thing may not be odd, but what she captured in the background will certainly give you chills. She was getting ready to head down a mountain (complete with adorable singing) when she accidentally filmed a bear getting ready to attack. Her video description was: OMG! I was going through my snowboarding videos and I found a bear chasing me!!! I nearly got eaten!!! This was at Hakuba 47 in Japan, filmed yesterday! Be careful people!!! Annnnd this is what can happen out in nature. Many online are claiming the video is fake (which is entirely possible). Even if this video is the result of clever editing and CGI, news outlets are picking it up. “Kelly’s” YouTube channel only has three videos (and all are of this snowboarding adventure). Odds are, the video is fake. However, it looks real enough to be a reminder of one thing: nature is scary. If you’re out by yourself hiking, snowboarding, or looking for the Blair Witch, make sure to take your cell phone and self-defense tools!
