Long lost twins look forward to meet each other
Reunion of twins, separated at birth and living in different corners
of the earth! It sounds like something out of a movie! Although this can
be treated as an old Hollywood cliché but in this case it may be true.

The twins as children |
Anais Bordier, 25, a French fashion student living in London,
initially saw Los Angeles-based Samantha Futerman, also 25, in a short
film clip last December.
As her resemblance to her YouTube lookalike was striking Anais
finally decided to get in touch with her American living image via
Facebook.
The aspiring actress in Los Angeles had received a Facebook message
with a shocking claim from a French woman living in London. The two, who
had never met, looked “very really similar,” the message said. Could
they be sisters, separated at birth?
“When I looked at her photos, I was completely blown away,” Samantha
said. “It was like looking at myself, except it wasn’t me.”
The two did a little research and realized they had both been born on
the same day in 1987, in South Korea, and adopted through different
agencies shortly afterward. Anais was raised as an only child in a
suburb of Paris. Samantha went to a New Jersey family and grew up with
two older brothers.
Now the next step is to meet each other.

Long-Lost ‘Twins’ |
So they turned to crowd-sourcing fundraising website Kickstarter.com
to fund getting together in person.
For that memorable meeting they started the online Kickstarter
campaign to raise money as well as for a documentary film,Which wiil
touch upon nature vs. nurture,adoption, sisterhood and the power of
social media,” their website said.
“I have been given the chance to start a new journey in life,”
Samantha says in a video for the crowd-sourcing, money-raising campaign.
“One that includes my first living blood relative and potential
identical match. This is our story. How it unfolds, I have no idea. But
I can’t wait to find out.”
They’ve raised almost $35,000 from more than 800 backers who want to
see the reunion become a reality. The cash will also pay for travel, the
film and a DNA test to confirm their relation.
“What I am looking forward now the most is to be in one same place at
the exact same time as soon as possible so as to build our future
memories,” Anais wrote. “And it has already started.”
Everyone who had read the story of these long-lost twins’ reunion,
hope this saga will have a fairytale ending!
Drunken man in rare stunt
Everyone who were witnessing this thought that it was some kind of a
stunt by a daredevil stuntman.
But it was not so, for he was doing this due to his deep drunkenness.
A Chinese man found himself dangling nine metres (30ft) above the
ground from high-tension cables after climbing up a utility pole.
The man moved along the cables for 15 minutes - unaware of the danger
- while one firefighter climbed up the pole to persuade him to get down.
The power supply to the area had been cut off to prevent him from
being electrocuted. The man continued to the middle of two poles on the
cables, then loosened his hands and legs before dropping onto another
layer of cables.
As shocked onlookers watched from below, he eventually fell onto a
net set up by firefighters. He later told a reporter that he drank a lot
in a bad mood.
Medical staff said the man sustained no injuries except the excessive
alcohol in his body. The incident happened in downtown Linfen, in north
China's Shanxi Province.
