"The Dam is Becoming Dangerous and May Possibly Go!"
The South Fork Dam failed on Friday, May 31, 1889, and unleashed 20,000,000 tons of water that devastated Johnstown, PA. The flood killed 2,209 people but it brought the nation and the world together to aid the "Johnstown sufferers." The story of the Johnstown Flood reminds us all, "...that we must leave nothing undone for the preservation and protection of our brother men."

Johnstown Flood
The Johnstown Flood, sometimes referred to locally as Great Flood of 1889, occurred on Friday, May 31, 1889, after the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam, located on the south fork of the Little Conemaugh River, 14 miles (23 km) upstream of the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, United States. The dam ruptured after several days of extremely heavy rainfall, releasing 14.55 million cubic meters of water.[3] With a volumetric flow rate that temporarily equaled the average flow rate of the Mississippi River,[4] the flood killed 2,208 people[5]and accounted for US$17,000,000 (equivalent to about $550,000,000 in 2022) in damage.

Shirtless male suspect in golf cart with dog leads police on 45-minute low-speed chase, admonishes bystanders not to drink or do drugs
Video of the pursuit obtained by KTLA showed the shirtless suspect driving a golf cart marked with the word “security” on its side weaving through traffic, moving into lanes on the wrong side of the road as several marked patrol vehicles trailed him, all while holding a medium to large size dog on his lap.
The pursuit, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, started just after 9 p.m. in the 18700 block of Ventura Boulevard and ended approximately 10 miles away near the intersection of Oxnard Street and Laurel Canyon Boulevard at around 9:44 p.m.

Group of hikers on Half Dome in Yosemite National Park caught in storm, 2 struck by lightning, all escaped safely
This may have been a wise call. Those that descended heard a woman scream, as she'd fallen down the north side of the mountain and hit a rock ledge. She would ultimately be rescued via helicopter. And meanwhile, one of the hikers' two friends also slipped and cut a knee, but both eventually made it down safely.
Meanwhile up at the top of the summit, Dean and Van Dyke took shelter in a rock cave as conditions worsened. And then lightning struck the cave.
In-depth from SFist:
Hikers Jordan Dean and Josh Van Dyke recount that they reached the summit of Half Dome at about 12:30 p.m. last Thursday. They'd checked the weather before even attempting the hike, but saw a fast-moving storm approaching once they were on the summit. Two of their friends started their descent, but as rain and sleet conditions worsened, Dean and Van Dyke decided to wait it out at the top and hope for conditions to improve.

An unusual item found in a traveler's luggage recently joined the ranks of oddities that officials from the Transportation Security Administration can add to their list of finds: A plastic skull.
It all started around 8 a.m. local time on Sept. 18 at Salt Lake City International Airport when a TSA explosive detection unit flagged an item inside a piece of checked luggage as a potential security threat, according to a news release from TSA. Officers reviewed the X-ray image of what appeared to be a skull with unidentifiable components inside. The item resembled an improvised explosive device, the release said. [...]
[...] In the end, the skull was not permitted to travel on a commercial aircraft and was retained by TSA to be picked up upon the passenger's return to Salt Lake City.
Other items that TSA officials have confiscated inside luggage at airports in recent years include raw chicken, knives inside laptops and drugs inside hair scrunchies.
