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.

Saudi Women's New Campaign to End Driving Ban

Women in Saudi Arabia are sick of the fact that their religion interprets that they can’t drive in their home country and have decided to take a stand. All women able and willing will drive their cars on October 26 in Saudi Arabia in protest. Creating a web site as a petition, they have gained over 11,000 signatures. This issue has come up at least twice before but with no success other than riling up the spirits of the Saudi Arabian women. Besides being prohibited to drive, women in Saudi Arabia cannot open bank accounts, work, travel, or go to school without the permission of their male guardian. Their king, King Abdullah, at the moment is moving towards change regarding women’s rights, but not fast enough pushing them to take it into their own hands.

Man loses 245 pounds with the three P's

"I always tell people it's the three p's: persistence, passion and perseverance," Marlon Gibson said. Gibson had always been a heavy kid. His grandmother would take him to McDonald’s everyday and from then on Gibson’s eating habits grew worse and worse. At his heaviest he weighed 405 pounds at five feet and eleven inches. Being the class comedian, Gibson was never really teased or bullied which allowed him to stay relatively confident.  It wasn't until he saw his wife do an awesome job on the reality TV show “The Biggest Loser” that he got the ambition. Instead of turning to unhealthy diets and surgical procedures, Gibson just started to eat less and eventually cut out all the bad food he usually ate. Turning completely vegan, Gibson has successfully lost a total of 245 pounds and is at a healthy weight of 160. He is not only keeping his weight down but also keeping his healthy ritual of diet and exercise up.

Thousands evacuated after volcano eruption in Indonesia

On Sunday Mount Sinabung erupted in Jakarta, Indonesia. Mount Sinabung has an altitude of about 2,600 meters and is the highest mountain in North Sumatra. The eruption caused more than 6,000 people to evacuate the area. It covered North Sumatra, the province on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, in ash. The inhalation of the ash caused five people to suffer from breathing problems, but luckily there were no casualties. The evacuees took shelter in eight main evacuation centers. They were given rice and some of them actually returned to their homes momentarily to make sure their farms and livestock were doing okay. They then returned to the evacuation center.
