Women Trapped for 6 days

On May 4th Kristin Hopkins a mother of 4 was found and taken to the hospital after being stranded for 6 days trapped in her car. Her car went off a 120ft cliff along Highway 285 and Mrs. Hopkins does not remember any of it. Hopkins had no food or water during the time and when 2 strangers found her and called the ambulance her internal organs were shutting down and her body temperature was at 77 degrees. Both her feet as well we crushed in the accident and doctors had to amputate them. An umbrella might have been what saved her, Hopkins found an umbrella and wrote "hungry, thirsty, need doctor" and shoved it out the window. Mrs. Hopkins is now doing well and has left the hospital.

World Explodes

The aliens from Mars made contact with the Earth this last month, threatening a explosion if the world did not give them all of their resources. The world community thinking it was all a hoax did not respond and or give the people of Mars what they needed. So as I am writing the world is blowing up, Mars has sent weapons of mass destruction to Earth. Our second strike capabilities are not equipped to attack Mars, so there is nothing that the world can do about it. Death is inevitable and the human population will never be able to recover.
