Title: Vladimir Putin saves TV crew from rampaging tiger

Just as [Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin] was arriving with a group of wildlife specialists to see a trapped Amur tiger, it escaped and ran towards a nearby camera crew, the country's main television station said.

Mr Putin quickly shot the beast and sedated it with a tranquilliser gun.

"Vladimir Putin not only managed to see the giant predator up close but also saved our television crew too," a presenter on Rossiya television said at the start of the main evening news.
It's a good thing tranquilizers take effect immediately, just like they do in the movies. It would suck if the film crew got eaten in the 10-90 minutes it normally takes to sedate a large mammal.
