Disney Workers Wade Through Bags Of Tourist Trash To Find Missing Rings

advertisement

Paul Campanale, his wife and two children were visiting Disney's Wilderness Lodge when he dumped a cardboard bowl into the garbage.

Campanale was not aware that the container held his wife Karen's engagement, wedding and anniversary rings.

Disney park employees told the Worcester, Mass., couple that finding the rings was highly unlikely -- and all but impossible. So, the family headed to the airport for their journey back home.

In the meantime, Wilderness Lodge executive housekeeper Drew Weaver and seven volunteers decided to wade through bag after bag of garbage, searching for the rings.

After some time, the rings were found.

Campanale, 37, a chemist, received the good news on his cell phone and Weaver met the family at the bus' next stop to deliver the rings.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
