My Favorite “Rescue 911” Story Titles
Or maybe they’re just 90's alternative bands that never quite “hit it big.”
Rescue 911 was a very important part of my childhood. It made me afraid of everything and everyone. The only thing that could bring me down from the high of an episode was watching Unsolved Mysteries right after.
Each episode of the show had multiple stories, all allegedly true and reenacted for our entertainment. Sometimes people died, but usually it was just babies choking on coins and falling out of windows, or people going whitewater rafting and getting trapped in caves. Oh, and it was hosted by William Shatner.
The following are my favorite story titles from the series, courtesy of whoever listed all of these on Wikipedia aka my future lover:
- Mallard Madness (Season 2, Episode 20)
- Rollerblade Rescue (Season 5, Episode 21)
- Daughter in a Tree (Season 3, Episode 21)
- 5-Year-Old Saves Mom (Season 3, Episode 13)
- Log Pinned Baby (Season 3, Episode 4)
