One Pennsylvania couple is recounting their harrowing tale of near-disfigurement at the hands of a grill.

Regina Benford, 44, was helping her husband move a grill rack off of a fire pit when things went terribly wrong.

When they were grilling, they decided that the grill rack had gotten too hot and needed to be moved off of the fire pit it was balancing on. They didn't want to wait for it to cool, and this was something they've apparently done before.

As the pair went to move the grill rack, Regina tripped. Her stumble caused her to drop her side of the grill rack, which tipped her off balance even more, sending her falling face-first onto the superheated grill rack.

The Grill In Question - not a setup we would recommend.

Inside Edition

Regina and her husband, Sheldon, reenacted the incident for Inside Edition - and it was gnarly.

Thankfully, Sheldon was able to quickly peel Regina off of the grill. Her glasses, which began to melt from the extreme heat, saved her eyeballs from burning.

Much of the skin on her face, however, did not fare quite so well.

Thankfully, Sheldon knew just what to do. He is a volunteer firefighter and paramedic. He immediately laid a wet washcloth on her face and took her to seek medical attention.

"For one, he pushed me off the grate and saved my face and he saved my eye and by keeping it cool and moist. They say it's the best thing he could have done. He was always my hero but now he is really my hero."


Thanks to his actions, Regina's face is ...well... pretty much fine! You'd think with injuries that bad there was no way she wouldn't be scarred, but Sheldon saved the day - and her face!

Inside Edition

YouTube seems downright shocked that she was okay.

Swiss Church Sparks Debate After Introducing Bizarre AI Jesus Hologram To Take Confessions

A church in Switzerland is stirring debate with its use of an AI-generated Jesus hologram for confessions. Dubbed Deus in Machina (“God in Machine”), the project is installed at St. Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, the city’s oldest Catholic church.

The hologram, developed by experts from Lucerne University’s Immersive Realities Center and a parish theologian, greets users with, “Peace be with you, brother,” and invites them to share what’s troubling their hearts. It can respond in 100 languages, with answers based on sacred scripture and theological texts sourced from the internet.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.
