Fisherman finds a jeep submerged in a lake... with a woman still alive inside!
When you go fishing, you do it either because you are a professional or for pleasure, but one thing is certain: you aim for an great "catch" that is "bountiful". Sometimes the sea, or the lake, can be generous; at other times, you come back empty-handed (especially if you are not a pro fisherman).
What is certain, is that one never expects to fish a person out of the water...

But this is exactly what happened in Texas, where a fisherman was fishing on Lake O' the Pines.
As the fisherman approached the bank of the lake, he saw something ou of place: there was a dark, "square" shape just above the surface of the water. He moved closer to get a better look.
The mysterious object turned out to be a submerged car! A large, black Jeep was under the water: only the roof of the car was visible. The fisherman called for help immediately: the county sheriff arrived 18 minutes later.
A recovery team then proceeded to tow the car out of the water. And they were completely amazed by what they found...

As the team hooked up the Jeep in order to tow it away, they noticed that someone was inside the vehicle!
A woman was still inside the Jeep and the team acted immediately to help her. Fortunately, she was still alive and well. In fact, the local police department had issued an announcement of her disappearance some time earlier.
The woman was immediately rushed to hospital with severe hypothermia, however she miraculously survived and is now in excellent health.
It's not clear how the woman ended up in the water, but if the fisherman hadn't found himself in the right place at the right time... well, this would be a different story. What do you think about this?
