22-year-old man pees to douse fire, saves UK's iconic pier
A 22-year-old man named Thomas Watson on Tuesday managed to extinguish a fire reportedly started by a cigarette butt by peeing on it, saving the worldâs longest pleasure pier 'Southend Pier' in the UK. "The problem was the wind was pretty strong. After one failed attempt, I kneeled and peed," Watson said. The local council thanked him for his "quick-thinking".
