Terrifying Plea in Midst of Florence Devastation Saves 3 Generations Trapped in Attic

By Conservative Tribune. Social media can be a major distraction in today’s world. Platforms like Facebook and Twitter seem to be magnets for trashy posts and endless arguments these days … But sometimes, the power of online communication ends up saving lives.
