All about unusual and funny news

This is slightly unusual, its the story of a woman in Detroit who escaped being shot after a bullet bounced off her bra. The woman was in her house when burglars targeted the house next door. When she looked out of the window to see what was happening a shot was fired. The bullet went through her window and hit her but in lucky escape it was deflected off the wiring in her bra, Although she did sustain some injuries the bra slowed the bullet down and probably saved her life. The local police sergeant said "We need to get some bulletproof vests made from that. It is some strong wire."

A woman in Brazil has survived being shot because she had a wad of cash stuffed into her bra. Ivonete Pereira was travelling on a bus from Salvator to Bahia when two armed robbers tried to hold up the bus. She knew that bus robberies were common so had hidden all of her money inside her bra. When a shootout began between the robbers and police Pereira was hit by a spray bullet but the cash inside her bra has slowed it enough that she was not killed. Instead she was taken to hospital to have the bullet removed. What a lucky escape.
