It’s interesting to see the evolution of data and, more importantly, how we access it. While books remain relevant, our reliance on them has drastically reduced, especially for immediate information. The internet ushered in a new age where answers to almost any question could be gotten in seconds.

While most of us use social media for interactions and the like, some social media pages achieve a different purpose. Thankfully, one Facebook page, ‘Unbelievable Facts,’ is dedicated to presenting facts that you may find hard to believe. From the strange to the inspiring, from the awe-inspiring to the jaw-dropping ones, we offer you 45 hardly known facts.

9/11 Had a Canine Hero

There’s a reason why dogs are known as man’s best friend. And this heroic guide dog makes it clear as day. On 9/11, Roselle and her blind owner, Michael Hingson, happened to be in the World Trade Center when the attack began. However, she was smart enough to lead him and a group of people down 1,463 steps to safety.

Of course, the group wasn’t in the best of spirits. But Roselle, the smart girl that she was, stopped once to kiss a woman who had a panic attack. Although she died in 2011, Hingson keeps her memory fresh in our minds with his books and talks.
