A west Houston woman's pole dancing ended in disaster after the pole hit a fire sprinkler and flooded her and a neighbor's apartment. Asha Gilbert was filming herself in her living room as she followed along to a pole dance workout tutorial. Right as she begins spinning on the pole, the top dislodges from the ceiling and hits a fire sprinkler, causing water to shoot everywhere. "Immediately, I'm in shock because I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, this cannot be happening to me,'" said Gilbert. The pole was a recent addition to Gilbert's living room. She says a colleague had given it to her just three days prior. "He was like, 'Hey, I have this pole, I'm giving it away. Do you want it?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, absolutely I want it.," Gilbert said. But when she and a friend installed it, they didn't anchor it to the ceiling. Instead, they relied on the pole's natural tension between ceiling and floor. "It wasn't even a thought that it could possibly hit the sprinkler," Gilbert said. "We were more worried about it hitting a wall." Much of Gilbert's furniture was ruined, and she had to move to a different apartment. She said the water also seeped into a downstairs neighbor's unit. "I explained everything, and she was very, very cool and understanding, and I appreciated that," said Gilbert. ]]> Wed 15 Jul 2026 13:09:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1617551/pole-dancing-mishap-leads-to-water-damage-in-multiple-apartment-units/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616594/a-21-year-old-woman-died-after-her-harness-was-not-attached-while-bungee-jumping-in-b/

Police have released CCTV footage showing a disturbing early morning attempt to torch a business in Kilkenny that ended in complete failure after the fire failed to ignite. The incident unfolded just after 6am when three masked individuals arrived at a premises on Humphries Terrace. CCTV shows the trio dressed in hoodies and face coverings as they move onto the property and begin forcing their way through a metal fence. After struggling to gain entry, the group is seen allegedly pouring what appears to be petrol from jerry cans around the front of the building. Moments later, they attempt to ignite the fuel. But the plan quickly collapses when the fire fails to take hold. In what police describe as an unsuccessful arson attempt, the suspects then flee the scene on foot, leaving behind damage but no major blaze. Authorities are now reviewing the footage and appealing to the public for information, urging anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area around the time of the incident to come forward. Investigators are treating the matter as deliberate and targeted, with inquiries ongoing into the identities of those involved. Police say it could have easily turned into something far more dangerous if the ignition had worked as intended. ]]> Tue 05 May 2026 20:34:04 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615164/masked-trio-s-botched-firebomb-plot-caught-on-camera-in-australia/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614579/spray-tans-gone-wrong/
