Heavy rainfall recently flooded the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. People all across the city needed rescuing, including a man who was swept down a local road along with his motorbike. Thankfully, some helpful bystanders got the man to safety, but wow — Mother Nature can be shocking.

Do you know what else is pretty shocking? Purposefully dangling from an eleventh-story balcony...for a photo op. Surely it goes without saying how dangerous (not to mention, unnecessary!) a stunt like this is, but in case anyone else is thinking about "doing it for the 'gram" — let us be the first to say: Please don't.

When an SUV gets stuck on some parking barriers outside of a store in St. Louis, a kindhearted truck driver offers to help pull it out. But, when the driver gives the truck a little gas...BAM! Well, that wasn't supposed to happen. You know what they say, no good deed goes unpunished. Over in Brazil, this is no car wash! A driver and passenger are stuck inside a car while raging floodwaters wash over them. The only thing more incredible than the scene itself? The fact that the driver managed to stay cool as a cucumber for a whole 90 minutes until they were able to exit the vehicle safely. Both videos via ViralHog View Now
