Family urges mercy after Georgia teacher dies in prank gone wrong

The community mourns Hughes and his wife, who is also a teacher, and the family asks for grace and mercy for the students and their families to prevent further tragedy.

"Terrifying Escape: Oregon Man's Brush with Death Caught on Surveillance Video"

An Oregon man narrowly escaped death when a concrete saw blade came loose from a nearby construction site and hurtled towards him as he entered a store in Eugene. Surveillance video captured the four-foot blade slamming into the store's exterior wall just inches away from the door. The impact was so strong that the entire building shook, but the man managed to avoid being touched by the blade. Witnesses believe the blade may have come loose due to a lost bolt and potential operator error.

5-year-old racks up thousands in Amazon charges on mom's phone

A 5-year-old girl in Massachusetts spent over $3,000 on her mom's Amazon account while playing on her phone during a car ride. She ordered 10 pairs of cowgirl boots, five pink motorcycles, five blue motorcycles, and a kid-sized Jeep. Instead of punishing her daughter, the mom is using this as a teachable moment and plans to get her a bike more suited to her age range if she behaves and does chores around the house.
