What caught your attention on STATter911.com in 2013? Please comment below or on Facebook and let us know your favorite stories for the year. From looking at our stats, I can tell you what were the five most popular stories.
Our top story by far was on December 10 when we posted the video below from a 50 car-pile-up in Wisconsin.

In second place, a video from the UK on January 21 that turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. A newspaper reported the video showed teens throwing snowballs from a bridge onto a crew from a fire boat below. It turned out those weren't firefighters who then turned a hose on the attackers, it was a bridge work crew. It still was a good video.

The number three story was posted November 8 and showed a snorkel in Memphis that made a crash landing on arrival at an apartment fire. All the firefighters were uninjured and went to right to work on the fire.
