Two Inmates Captured after escaping Oklahoma jail through Shower

            On Sunday four inmates escaped out of the Caddo County jail near Anadarko in Oklahoma. They creatively escaped through the shower room crawl space and crawled through a pipe until they reached outside of the jail. Three of these men had been convicted of meth-related charges and were waiting to be transferred to the state prison to serve their time when they escaped. The other man was waiting for his trail due to a gun charge. Two of these inmates were captured on Monday but two still remain loose and are being considered “armed and dangerous”.

No charges for firefighter who ran over Asiana crash survivor

            Because of the Asiana Airlines crash Flight 214 two people died and more than 180 people on the flight were injured. One of the most distressful incidents was the death of Ye Mengyuan. She was a 16-year-old girl from China who was flung from the plane as it crashed. As she laid there she was run over by a rescue vehicle driven by a firefighter. From the autopsy it was decided that she was alive when she landed after being flung but died because of being run over. This is a tragic accident and the firefighter who ran the girl over and the department he is from is apologizing profusely. As they said, “there’s not a lot of words to describe how badly we feel about it.” He is not being charged for this accidental killing.

Abandoned Philly prison adds screams for Halloween

“Terror Behind the Walls” is the nation’s largest haunted house excluding amusement parks and is set in Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary. This penitentiary was opened in 1829, with indoor plumbing even before the White House. It is abandoned now but was home to Gangster Al Capone before it closed in 1971. People come from all over to see this spooky extravaganza on Halloween. It is filled with a psychedelic 3-D room, pathways through the decaying property and 130 actors playing guards screaming for help and infirmary patients howling in pain under the knife of broken doctors. As of this year, visitors can opt to allow the actors to touch and interact with them. This haunted house has been going on for 22 years and accounts for 60 percent of the yearly budget for the property. It might even be home to real paranormal activity!

Montana Women Accused of Pushing Husband off Cliff Pleads Not Guilty

On July 7, 2013 Cody Johnson fell to his death off of a cliff as he hiked through a national park with his wife. Jordan Linn Graham and Cody Johnson had been married a little over a week when she supposedly pushed him off the cliff to his death. She is being accused of murder. At a recent court hearing she pleaded not guilty and was released. Her next court date is set for October 15th. From what her friends say their marriage, though it was still very new, was already rocky with a lot of fights occurring  It is still unsure if Jordan Linn Graham actually murdered Cody because their fight on top of the cliff was a jumbled mess of pushing and shoving.
