Six-week-old baby survives without a scratch after being flung from car moving at 70mph, Croydon, Surrey, Britain - 09 Jun 2010

Six-Week-Old Baby Falls Into Fast Lane ... And Lives
Tiny tot Jonathan Samuel really is a miracle baby after being catapulted from a car at 70mph and surviving without so much as a scratch.
Six-week-old Jonathan was in his baby seat in the back of his dad Oliver's Vauxhall Astra when a tyre blew.
The car spun round six times before smashing into the central reservation, sending Jonathan - still strapped into his seat - flying out of the door.
He then bounced along the fast lane before being flung from his seat and coming to rest on the edge of the carriageway.
The drama happened as salesman Oliver, 31, was driving along the M6 near Wigan with wife Sadaf, daughter Shalona, 18 months, and Jonathan.
Sadaf was in the back with Jonathan while Shalona was in her baby seat in front.
They had been visiting family in Glasgow and were heading home to Croydon, Surrey.
Sadaf, 23, said: "I was asleep but woke to feel the car spinning around and the door flapping open and shut.
"I looked to my side and saw the car seat had gone and started shouting 'Where is my baby?'"
When the car came to a halt Oliver leapt out and frantically started scanning the carriageway for Jonathan.
He comments: "I was screaming because I expected to find parts of him and see blood. I was looking for his body".
Finally he spotted the crumpled car seat in the fast lane but when he reached it Jonathan wasn't there.
"It was like a nightmare getting worse, it was agony," recalls Oliver. "Our baby was gone."
Then he heard crying and spotted a tiny bundle in the outside lane.
He said: "I could see headlights coming so I ran and grabbed him and carried him back to Sadaf."
Sadaf said: "I just grabbed the baby, bracing myself for what I might see. But there wasn't a scratch. He was distressed but as soon as I cudd...

Dog survives 130ft cliff fall, Bridport, Dorset, Britain - Nov 2009

Dog survives 130ft cliff fall, Bridport, Dorset, Britain - Nov 2009
PET POOCH SURVIVES 110FT CLIFF TUMBLE AT 'DOGHOUSE HILL'
A pet dog has had a miraculous escape after plunging off a 330ft cliff called Doghouse Hill and spending the night shivering on a windswept ledge.
Jack's owner Kim Gregory thought the dog was a goner when he chased a rabbit over the edge of the sheer cliff at Seatown, near Bridport, Dorset.
The nine-year-old collie fell about 110ft down but somehow survived intact by landing on a grassy ledge.
Mr Gregory, 50, peered over the edge expecting the worse but spotted a distressed Jack standing precariously on the outcrop.
Coastguards dashed to the scene and spent four hours trying to reach the hound in torrential rain and 60mph winds.
Although they got to within 6ft at one point, they were eventually forced to call off the rescue attempt when the weather conditions worsened.
They returned at sunrise the following day and were able to lift a trembling Jack off the ledge and winch him to safety.
The black and white dog was checked over before being reunited with his owner safe and well.
Mr Gregory, a builder from Blackwater, Hants, said: "He is one very lucky dog indeed.
"I was out with a friend walking my two dogs, Jack and Max, when Jack suddenly decided to chase a rabbit along the cliff top.
"I lost sight of him but another dog walker came running up to me and said he'd seen him go over the edge.
"When I got to the edge of the cliff and looked over my heart just dropped. I was convinced that was it.
"The cliffs are very jagged around there and the drop is sheer in places. I didn't think he could ever have survived.
"We looked all over for him and 20 minutes later I spotted him on the ledge.
"It wasn't much bigger than him and he was looking up mournfull...

Stoat survives 32-mile, 70mph car ride trapped in front grille of a BMW, Lincolnshire - 07 Aug 2009
STOAT CHEATS DEATH AFTER SEVEN HOURS STUCK IN CAR GRILLE
A stoat, nicknamed Bumper, had a miraculous escape after it was hit by a BMW and driven more than 30 miles trapped in the grille of the car.
The tiny creature was found SEVEN hours later wedged at the front of the BMW Z4 sports car, with its face and front feet sticking out after the accidental hit-and-run.
The animal was first spotted on the road at High Dyke near the A1 junction at Colsterworth, Lincolnshire, by driver Mervyn Draper at 4am on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old aircraft technician was returning home from a night shift at RAF Cottesmor and thought he had run the small mammal over, but couldn't see the body on the road behind him.
Thinking it had escaped he continued on his journey home to Ewerby, near Sleaford, 32 miles away.
But the following morning he found the poor animal in the grille of his car fighting for survival and called the RSPCA.
"I couldn't believe it. It looked like he had hit it side-on, and the clips on the grille had opened and trapped him shut," said Mr Draper.
"When I told the vet what had happened, he just looked at me like I was totally insane and advised me to ring the RSPCA. I must have looked ridiculous."
RSPCA inspector Laura Jones helped Mr Draper prise the grille open and release the terrified stoat.
It was taken to Weirfield Wildlife Hospital in Lincoln and given pain relief and antibiotics.
He was later released back into the wild after checks showed it was fit and healthy.
"We're just really glad he was okay," added Mr Draper.

"When I told the vet what had happened, he just looked at me like I was totally insane and advised me to ring the RSPCA. I must have looked ridiculous."
RSPCA inspector Laura Jones helped Mr Draper prise the grille open and release the terrified stoat.
It was taken to Weirfield Wildlife Hospital in Lincoln and given pain relief and antibiotics.
He was later released back into the wild after checks showed it was fit and healthy.
"We're just really glad he was okay," added Mr Draper.

Stoat survives 32-mile, 70mph car ride trapped in front grille of a BMW, Lincolnshire - 07 Aug 2009
STOAT CHEATS DEATH AFTER SEVEN HOURS STUCK IN CAR GRILLE
A stoat, nicknamed Bumper, had a miraculous escape after it was hit by a BMW and driven more than 30 miles trapped in the grille of the car.
The tiny creature was found SEVEN hours later wedged at the front of the BMW Z4 sports car, with its face and front feet sticking out after the accidental hit-and-run.
The animal was first spotted on the road at High Dyke near the A1 junction at Colsterworth, Lincolnshire, by driver Mervyn Draper at 4am on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old aircraft technician was returning home from a night shift at RAF Cottesmor and thought he had run the small mammal over, but couldn't see the body on the road behind him.
Thinking it had escaped he continued on his journey home to Ewerby, near Sleaford, 32 miles away.
But the following morning he found the poor animal in the grille of his car fighting for survival and called the RSPCA.
"I couldn't believe it. It looked like he had hit it side-on, and the clips on the grille had opened and trapped him shut," said Mr Draper.

waiting for words

Jack the tiny orphaned lamb in his woolly jumper., This tiny, orphaned lamb cuts quite a sight in his woolly jumper, which is helping him to cope with sub zero temperatures this winter. Affectionately known as Jack Frost, the little lamb, born on January 1, thinks nothing of wearing an extra woolly layer. The tiny knitted garment, meant for a human baby, fits perfectly and Jack likes nothing more than snuggling up in it during the freezing weather. Abandoned at birth, little jack, one of twins, was rescued by volunteers at Manor Farm Country Park.
Lamb survives winter in woollen jumper at Manor Farm Country Park near Southampton, Britain - 21 Jan 2009
SHEEPISH LAMB SURVIVES WINTER THANKS TO WOOLLEN JUMPER
An orphaned lamb has been given his own woollen jumper in order to help him survive the cold winter.
The lamb, affectionately named Jack Frost, was born remarkably early on January 1 and wouldn't have survived if it weren't for his extra woolly layer.
Little Jack, who was one of twins, was taken in by volunteers at Manor Farm Country Park, near Southampton after being abandoned at birth.
Farm manager Andrew Davies said: "We think his mother just couldn't cope with the two lambs.
"This could be something to do with the fact that they were born out of season or just that she didn't have that important maternal instinct, which does happen sometimes."
With the sub-zero temperatures the fear was that the little lamb would perish because of the cold.
So Mr Davies brought in a hay bales and a heat lamp to keep Jack warm, and then one volunteers had the novel idea of kitting him out in his own woolly jumper.
She trawled through a local charity shop and discovered just the ticket - a knitted, woollen baby jumper that fits Jack perfectly.
Loving nothing better than snuggling up in ...
