Imbackbaby, I've mentioned before in the thread that my parents met David Cameron at a dinner party; shortly before he was elected a member of parliament.
On the drive home, Dad opined to Mum:
"My God, that man's a little Hitler in the making!"
I'm looking forward to the reveals on him.
A train derailment that spilled molten sulfur in eastern Kentucky on the eve of Thanksgiving disrupted holiday plans for local residents in the remote area on Thursday, some of whom were forced to evacuate after the incident.
The train derailment occurred north of Livingston, a town of about 200 people, and involved 16 cars, including two cars carrying molten sulfur that spilled some of their load.
Railroad operator CSX said in a statement that the spilled sulfur was still burning. When molten sulfur burns, it can release sulfur dioxide, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says can cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract, eyes, mucous membranes, and skin.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear declared an emergency, and local officials went door to door to evacuate some residents, who were moved to a local school for safety.
"I was freaking out because I said, 'We are cooking, we got turkeys in the ovens. We can't leave.' They were like, 'You have to go, it is a bad situation, you have to go,'" Livingston resident Linda Todd told a CBS News affiliate.
Another resident, Evelyn Gray, told an NBC News affiliate that the released chemical contents caused her to have an asthma attack.
"It just hit me so hard, I could hardly breathe," she said.
A speeding car crashed and exploded on a Niagara Falls bridge connecting the US and Canada Wednesday — killing the driver and his passenger in a fear-inducing incident that shut down several border crossings on one of the busiest travel days of the year.
The Bentley sedan was going up to 100 mph when it rammed into a median near the checkpoint area on the American side of the Rainbow Bridge at around 11:15 a.m. — flying several feet into the air and bursting into a fireball before landing in dozens of pieces, according to federal law enforcement sources.
A speeding Bentley struck a Jeep on I-90 in Cleveland, causing the Jeep to roll onto its roof and fatally eject its passenger, Cleveland Police confirmed.
While the driver of the Bentley was seriously injured, the man behind the wheel of the overturned Jeep ran away, said police.
Dashcam and ODOT footage revealed that the Bentley engaged in what appeared to be a race, or was chasing, another car just before disaster struck, police stated in the investigation update.
Two people were killed in a crash at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Toll Plaza in Gig Harbor on Friday.
The crash occurred shortly after 2 p.m. on Sept. 1, according to Washington State Patrol (WSP).
According to preliminary information, a pickup truck traveling east on State Route 16 did not slow down as it entered the toll plaza. The truck had cruise control on, according to State Patrol.
The truck crossed traffic lanes and struck a car, forcing it forward into the toll booth. Two people inside that car were killed. Those killed have been identified as 33-year-old Jeremy Kirkmeyer, who was the driver, and 30-year-old Torrey Kirkmeyer, who was the passenger. Both were from Bremerton.
The two occupants of the truck, a 61-year-old driver and the 63-year-old passenger, were taken to the hospital with unknown injuries.
