Wisconsin Boy Hit By Train



A 12 year old boy from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin died after being hit by a train. A witness and the train conductor said they witnessed the boy walk out on the tracks and then stand there without attempting to move. There was no default in the train system. The cross guards had already gone down, the lights were flashing, all the cars had stopped and the train was sounding its horn. The young boy freely walked out onto the tracks with every warning given. There is no certainty to why the boy walked on the tracks but police are going into further investigation. The tracks are currently closed down for maintenance and investigation purposes.

Lively Grandmother

A 90 year old grandmother is paying her tributes towards Whitney Houston by dancing to one of her many songs "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." Yes, it is funny to see she still has some moves left in her, but even though she may like her dancing she has no idea what it looks like. She is legally blind and has slight hearing loss. So try not to laugh too much, she is after all 90. She says the reason she's doing this is because she loves dancing and is very sad to think Whitney is gone. To check out more of here videos you can view her on YouTube known as adamforgie.

Deadly Tree

A women was trapped after being pinned to her bed by an 80 foot tree 4 feet in diameter. When the tree hit it was so powerful it even moved the house off its foundation slightly. There were four other people in the house when the tree collapsed. Her husband was trapped in the room with his wife but was able to move around. The three other people in the house were completely unharmed. There is no certainty on why or how the tree fell but they do believe that it could be because of the recent rain they had loosened the soil and then when the wind hit the tree the next day the tree didn't have a strong base to hold it up.

Animal Obesity

As Americans we don't only have to worry about children becoming obese but there has also been a steady rise of animal obesity. When people eat unhealthy foods like hamburgers and fries and feed the scraps to their pets, the pet too is being exposed to the poor nutrition of that food. Junk food causes not only people but animals to gain excess weight. Like humans if you lead a life with very little exercise you can become very over weight. Same goes for animals when your pets don't get the necessary exercise needed to lead a healthy life they too will start to gain excess weight. Animals have been found with kidney failure, diabetes, cancer, and shorter life expectancy because of their obesity. A way to prevent animal obesity is to try to teach your pet to walk on a leash or to feed them a healthy portion of animal food not junk scraps.  http://smilepanic.com/wp-content/uploads/Fat_animals2.jpg
