Baby ejected after car crash lands 30 feet away unharmed

 

As Capt. Charles Smith and his crew were on their way to a serious crash, a 911 dispatcher told them that people had been ejected from a car. Minutes later, they learned that one of those people was a baby.

Traffic on eastbound Interstate 30 in Texarkana was heavy when the fire truck arrived, so Smith and one other firefighter got out and ran toward the crash, which happened around 7 p.m. Friday. The driver’s side of a four-door car, which was clipped by an 18-wheeler as it was changing lanes, was mangled.

Syria: heavy airstrike killed lives in Eastern Allepo

 

Syrian regime forces pounded eastern Aleppo with airstrikes for a sixth straight day Sunday, bringing the death toll to almost 300 in the most intense bombing since the war began five years ago, rescuers say.

Among the latest reported violence: a suspected chemical attack that killed four children and their parents. Two activist groups -- the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human rights and Aleppo Media Center -- said a barrage of barrel bombs struck their neighborhood, al-Sakhour.

The Syrian regime resumed heavy bombardment over eastern Aleppo on Tuesday after a three-week lull, killing at least 289 people by Saturday, according to the Syrian Civil Defense, also known as White Helmets.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the assault and "indiscriminate shelling" for killing and maiming scores of civilians, including children, and for leaving eastern Aleppo without a functioning hospital.

"The secretary-general reminds all parties to the conflict that targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime," the statement said. "Those responsible for these and other atrocities in Syria, whoever and wherever they are, must one day be brought to account."
