"$30 Million Easter Sunday Cash Heist Shocks Los Angeles"

Thieves executed a highly sophisticated heist on Easter Sunday, stealing as much as $30 million in cash from a high-security vault in a Los Angeles money storage facility without triggering any alarms or causing noticeable damage. The FBI and LAPD are jointly investigating the case, which is considered one of the largest cash thefts in the city's history. The stolen cash was stored for regional businesses by GardaWorld, a security and cash services company, and no arrests have been made as of now. This incident follows a similar large-scale jewel theft in Southern California less than two years ago, with the perpetrators still at large.

"30 Years On: Reflecting on the Deadly Northridge Earthquake"

The 30th anniversary of the deadly 6.7 magnitude Northridge earthquake, which struck the San Fernando Valley on January 17, 1994, is being remembered. The quake resulted in 57 deaths, thousands of injuries, and property damage estimates ranging from $13 billion to $50 billion. KTLA's coverage at the time depicted chaotic scenes of collapsed buildings, looting, and fires. Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones believes that today, there would be fewer collapsed buildings in the event of a similar quake, but emphasizes the need for ongoing seismic preparedness.
