Appendix B - Unlikely Heroes

The Unsung Heroes of Disasters Past

In the face of catastrophe, some people become unlikely heroes. They're not your typical cape-wearing, fireman-jumping, 'I'm-a-hero' types. They're the ones who just happen to be in the right place at the right time, with a can of spray paint and a strong stomach.

Meet the man who saved 37 cats from a house fire by using a firehose as a makeshift slide.

Meet the woman who single-handedly evacuated an entire office building using nothing but a leaf blower and a strong sense of self-preservation.

Learn about the brave soul who, in the midst of a Category 5 hurricane, used a trash panda as a makeshift ball of yarn to calm a terrified kitten.
