The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Fish Attack, Fake Pilot License & Walmart Bra Fire

Today’s edition of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly featured a hilarious family boating moment, a concerning airline investigation, and one very strange Walmart fire.

The Good: Fish Jumps Into Boat and Bonks Three Kids

A family boat ride has gone viral after a fish made a very unexpected appearance.

In the video, a dad is rowing a small boat across a murky lake while his three young children sit together and their mom records the moment.

Suddenly, a good-sized fish jumps out of the water, knocks one child backward, and bumps the other two in the head.

Thankfully, the children appear to be okay, and the clip has become a funny viral moment online.

One extra detail made the video even better: one of the kids was wearing floaties called “Puddle Jumpers.”

The Bad: Former Air Canada Pilot Accused of Flying Without Proper License

A former Air Canada pilot is facing charges after police say he flew for years without the proper license required to captain large passenger aircraft.

Investigators allege the former pilot used forged credentials and flew approximately 900 domestic and international flights over the years.

Police say he did have some commercial pilot qualifications, but not the Airline Transport Pilot License required for the aircraft he was operating.

Air Canada has said safety was not compromised and that the pilot completed regular training checks. However, police say licensing requirements exist for a reason.

The case has raised questions about oversight, credentials, and public trust in professional licensing systems.

The Ugly: Teen Accused of Setting Fire to Bras at Walmart

Police in Washington are searching for a young man accused of setting fire to a rack of bras inside a Walmart.

Authorities believe the suspect is between 16 and 18 years old.

Investigators say he arrived in a white Cadillac Escalade, went directly to the women’s lingerie section, set the fire, and then left the store.

The Walmart had to be evacuated and ventilated after the flames were extinguished.

No serious injuries were reported, but police are still searching for the suspect and asking the public for information.

The motive remains unclear.
