The landslide pour to Zhouqu town in seconds, leaving behind mud and rock several stories high, buildings destroyed, families broken. Floodwaters cut through the disaster site in every direction. Even when rescuers do find a body, it takes hours to get it out. The dead lined the streets, and the makeshift more. There is a danger of disease spreading, heat stroke and a lack of clean water, but the digging goes on.

 

This muddy lake that you see didn't exist about a week ago. These are the floodwaters that have buried entire villages in the district of Ghotki in northern Sindh province. Thousands of people still stranded in some of these villages. These are conditions these people have lived in for about a week now. They're saying about 1,000 more people left in this area stranded, but this hovercraft simply doesn't have any more room.

 

Source familiar with the investigation has told us that Senator Ted Stevens is among those who died in that plane crash. Senator Ted Stevens, you can see him there, was the longest serving Republican ever, in the, in the Senate, he was the Senator from Alaska, he lost his bid for re-election in 2008. That plane crash last night about 8 o'clock Alaska Time, 8 p.m. Alaska Time. It took rescuers about 12 hours to get to the plane, because it was in rugged terrain in southwestern Alaska.

 

Hey, I'm 80 years old. All my life has been from the beginning public service. That’s all I've ever done. Been in the Army, been a state legislator, been a federal prosecutor, 40 years here, and all I'm saying is that if it is the judgment of people here, for whatever reason, that I resign, then heck, have the Ethics Committee, expedite this. Don't leave me swinging in the wind until November. Hey, if I was you, I may want me to go away too. I am not going away. I am here.

 

This drive-through attack, happened in Toledo, Ohio, New Year's morning. Melanie DuShane became enraged when she was told that McDonald's was only serving breakfast. It was 6:00 a.m.

 

She got out of the car, she punched the employee in the mouth a couple of times, as you can see there. Tried to climb through the window but couldn't get the leg up. Maybe she didn't have all her faculties in place.

 

Then when the woman behind the counter closes the window, she grabs a half-empty beer bottle and throws it through the glass. Last month the woman got 60 days behind bars, 3 years probation for her McNugget meltdown.
