There are few things more important in life than the safety and security of ourselves and our loved ones.
It should go without saying that the majority of us want to avoid danger wherever possible, and most of all in our own homes. For as long as humans have been civilized, our homes, be they small or large, ancient or brand-spanking new, have provided us with an added sense of security.
Which is why it’s so terrifying when we fall victim to burglaries and the like. The very idea of a stranger gaining access to our home and being able to snoop around and touch or take what they please gives me the creeps.
I’m sure I’m not alone in that, so I thought it a good idea to share an important warning concerning a tactic employed by some criminals looking to gain access to properties by preying on unsuspecting homeowners. Want to know more? Read on…
Security at home is usually something people take seriously. Some own dogs that they rely on to be both a warning and defensive system. Others have security cameras outside their homes in the hope of warding off would-be criminals or filming them if they’re undeterred.
As has been the case time and again throughout history, however, criminals always endeavor to stay one step ahead of the preventative methods in place to stop them.

A Texas woman, Kim Fleming Cernigliaro, found that out a few years ago, when she found herself at the center of an alleged break-in attempt at her home.
Following her terrifying ordeal – which occurred in 2016 – Kim took to Facebook to explain what had happened, as well as to give a rather sinister warning that people would be wise to remember.
“Two weeks ago,” her post began, “during the day, a hard knock was at my front door, not a regular knock but almost pounding, (I honestly thought something may have happened to someone and they needed help) but something didn’t feel right…and I DO NOT answer the door when I am here by myself. So don’t bother!
“After several Knocks, they finally left. I glanced and could see it was a man through the stained glass of my door. After about 30 minutes I walked outside to look for what I thought would be a brochure, but instead found a rubber band around my knob to hold the door to open when I unlocked the latch. I called Ron and he told me to get the gun out and leave it out.”
Shockingly, as per reports, Kim had come very close to being the victim of a technique used by criminals to gain entry to people’s homes.
Kim’s post went on to reveal that she had contacted the local sheriff, who had informed her that it was quickly becoming a trend in the area.
She continued: “As soon as you unlatch the door, they do not wait for you to turn the knob, they can bust in on you. Anyway just be careful, I USE to be such a trusting person, but not at all anymore!”

Wow! I’ll certainly be thinking twice about answering the door to unexpected strangers from now on! Share this article to help us get the message out there.
Emotional reaction of the pilot when he realized why birds were flying next to the plane
In the midst of a routine flight, Jason, a seasoned pilot, encountered a startling disruption that shook his world. A sudden barrage of loud bangs on the plane’s windows left him bewildered, grappling with the unknown source of this disturbance.
Casting his gaze across the horizon, Jason was met with a chilling sight, an enormous flock of birds not merely trailing the aircraft but actively assaulting it.
Frantically attempting to fend off the avian onslaught without jeopardizing the engine, Jason found himself in a precarious situation. Despite his efforts, the birds grew more aggressive, compelling Jason to reassure the uneasy passengers that he had control over the situation.
As the feathered assailants drew nearer, coordinating their attacks on the jet, Jason sought assistance from flight control. To exacerbate the predicament, the control tower remained eerily silent, leaving Jason struggling to maintain command of the aircraft as the avian horde extended beyond the city limits.
The situation escalated when attempting to return to the airport resulted in an even fiercer onslaught by the birds, causing the jet’s engine to fail and initiating a rapid descent.
In a daring move born of desperation, Jason opted for a water landing, a maneuver he had never executed before. Despite the turbulent landing, everyone aboard survived the ordeal.
Upon disembarkation, chaos ensued among the passengers. Despite the staff’s attempts to maintain order, some insisted on disembarking first, inviting further bird attacks. While rescue operations commenced, tugboats were dispatched to extract the plane from the water.
The persistent swarm of birds thwarted the rescue team’s attempts to approach, prompting Jason to propose creating disruptive noises to momentarily disorient the birds and facilitate towing the jet ashore.
A subsequent investigation, prompted by the arrival of law enforcement, uncovered a shocking revelation: a suspected passenger was implicated in the illegal trade of exotic birds. These trafficked birds had disrupted the flock, causing mayhem in the skies.
Justice prevailed when the implicated passenger was apprehended, bringing a sense of relief to Jason and the entire crew. Overwhelmed with gratitude that no lives were lost, Jason shed tears of relief.
His quick thinking not only averted tragedy but also exposed and halted a sinister trade that imperiled both human safety and the unwitting creatures caught up in this airborne spectacle.
This harrowing experience served as a stark reminder of the unpredictable challenges confronting aviation professionals. It underscored the vital role of pilots like Jason, who, in the face of unprecedented adversity, remained resolute in ensuring the safety of all on board.
The remarkable tale of courage and resilience against the odds stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and our capacity to surmount even the most extraordinary challenges.
Thanks to Jason’s swift actions, the illicit enterprise responsible for the aberrant bird behavior was dismantled, bringing an end to a dark chapter in aviation history.
