SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) -- An investigation is underway after a sushi restaurant was burglarized by an individual who attempted to set it on fire Tuesday night.

Deep in the wooded hills above Satartia, Mississippi, on an evening after weeks of rain, a patch of soaked ground collapsed.That was all it took.With a tremendous roar, the two-foot-wide Delhi pipeline ruptured, blowing a 40-foot crater into the side of a slope. A cool fog drifted downhill from the blast site and rolled across the highway into the tiny town.Jerry Briggs, fire coordinator for neighboring Warren County, was quickly on the scene. He assumed the pipe was spewing natural gas; such pipelines crisscross the region. But as his team rushed to help the victims, what they saw didn’t make sense.People were acting like “zombies,” dazed and walking in circles or gazing back blankly as responders yelled for them to evacuate. Others convulsed, drooling, as panic-stricken family members called 911.In the end, 49 people were hospitalized. Some still have symptoms and struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder.It wasn’t until about an hour after the February 2020 explosion that the ...

NEW YORK (AP) — The remains of Hall of Fame filly Ruffian have been moved from Belmont Park to Claiborne Farm in Kentucky, where she was reburied Thursday.The move was necessary because the New York Racing Association is starting the installation of a one-mile synthetic track.

(CNN Español) — Una serie de actos de vandalismo y robos a supermercados y negocios, ocurridos en distintos puntos del país desde el fin de semana, suma incertidumbre y enrarece el clima de una Argentina en crisis por la alta inflación, luego de las elecciones primarias del 13 de agosto y de la devaluación de un 20 por ciento de su moneda al día siguiente.Las autoridades, que ordenaron la detención de 94 personas, aseguran que se trata de grupos que tienen el objetivo de “generar conflicto” de cara a las próximas elecciones presidenciales de octubre.
