Congrats Ros, thanks Aristo.

Rosalind: "No human life was lost in the collapse of the bridge. Tubby, a black male cocker spaniel, was the only fatality of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge disaster; he was lost along with Coatsworth's car. Professor Farquharson[7] and a news photographer[8] attempted to rescue Tubby during a lull, but the dog was too terrified to leave the car and bit one of the rescuers. Tubby died when the bridge fell, and neither his body nor the car were ever recovered.[9] Coatsworth had been driving Tubby back to his daughter, who owned the dog. Coatsworth received US$450.00 (US$7,400 with inflation[10]) for his car and US$364.40 (US$6,000 with inflation[10]) in reimbursement for the contents of his car, including Tubby.[11]"

Thank you, aristo. From time to time one reads of people who died going to rescue a pet, frequently a dog, which survives. My father once held us three children back when our Cairn terrier was struggling in a Scottish peat bog. She got out, though and I've never forgotten the lesson.

Well done Ros deserved.
