A shocked who left her vehicle in the car park of a weapons manufacturer returned to find she had been attacked - with baked beans. The woman, who wants to be known only as Emma, found the beans dumped on top of her motor in a car park at submarine makers BAE in Barrow, Cumbria. The single mother also found a note attached to the windscreen which threatened to report her to BAE's HR department and advised: 'Wake up earlier.'

Peggy Phillips (centre) was sitting in front of Jennifer Riordan on WN Flight 1380 from New York to Dallas on Tuesday when the left engine exploded and sent shrapnel flying through the window Riordan was sitting next to. The woman from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was pulled out through the hole and suffered 'significant' facial and head injuries, Phillips said. The freak accident caused even more chaos on the already frantic flight but Phillips and an EMT named Andrew, who was another fellow pasenger, snapped into action to try to save Riordan. The window had broken and the suction, the negative pressure, had pulled her outside the plane partially. These two wonderful men the EMT and a passenger managed to get her back inside the plane and we lay her down and we started CPR.' 

Tammie Jo Shults, (inset and left in the 1990s, during her time in the Navy) and one of the first women to fly an F-18, quickly brought the Dallas-bound Southwest Flight 1380 to land at Philadelphia International at 11.30am after the explosion at 32,000ft. It was after Jennifer Riordan, a mother-of-two from Albuquerque, who was killed after she was nearly drawn out of the window when it smashed in a midair explosion, and had to be pulled back into her seat by other passengers. Once the plane had landed and Riordan had been rushed off to hospital, Shults got out of the cockpit to comfort the other passengers on board.

The New York to Dallas plane was forced into an emergency landing at Philadelphia after shrapnel from the engine smashed a window and almost sucked Jennifer Riordan out of the plane. Last night, the National Transportation Safety Board said a preliminary examination had revealed one of the CFM56-7B engine's fan blades was separated and missing.  The blade was separated at the point where it would come into the hub and there was evidence of metal fatigue, chairman Robert Sumwalt said. European regulators this month began requiring an inspection by early next year of the type of engine that blew apart on the flight, and a source said U.S. regulators were near a similar rule. In August 2016, a Southwest flight made a safe emergency landing in Pensacola, Florida, after a fan blade separated from the same type of engine, and debris ripped a foot-long hole above the left wing. Investigators found signs of metal fatigue.

Ortega worked as a nanny for the Krim family, helping stay-at-home mom Marina take care of her children at their Upper West Side apartment. The 55-year-old had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, her lawyers arguing that she hallucinated the devil commanding her to kill the kids and then herself. Ortega faces the possibility of life in prison when she is sentenced.

Herwig Czech, a historian of medicine at the Medical University of Vienna, made the discovery after looking at Asperger's Nazi-era publications along with documents from Austrian archives. The study points to instances where Asperger referred profoundly disabled children to the Am Spiegelgrund clinic, which participated in the Third Reich's child euthanasia program. The program served the Nazi goal of eugenically engineering a genetically ‘pure’ society through ‘racial hygiene’ and the elimination of lives deemed a ‘burden’ and ‘not worthy of life’.

South East England will enjoy the hottest of the weather, while most parts of England and Wales will bask in temperatures at least in the low 20s, the Met Office confirmed. If temperatures do manage to push to 28C, it would beat April's high of 27.8C - but it would still have some way to go to beat the hottest April day on record, a hot 85F (29.4), which was recorded in London in 1949. Meteorologist Alex Burkill said: 'There's a fairly good chance of 28C, there's about a 60% chance.'

Former president George H.W Bush has remarked on the passing off his wife of 73 years for the first time since her death on Tuesday. 'I always knew Barbara was the most beloved woman in the world, and in fact I used to tease her that I had a complex about that fact.

It is unknown where the nets were originally abandoned by fishermen. Once cast aside, old fishing nets can drift with the currents for hundreds of miles, sucking up anything in their path.
