A huge airport in northern Japan was closed on tuesday after construction workers found a bomb that was still alive that they believe was from WW11. the bomb was 550 pounds and it cancelled 92 flights on tuesday. The bomb was believed to be an american made dud. The construction workers are still working on fixing the airport since a tsunami last year. Finding these bomb from the United States is not uncommon according to the Japanese police deptartment. There was so many bombs placed by the U.S. that there are still many around. Most of the bombs are found at construction sights and some are found barried.

Monster Energy Deadly?
Monster Energy has been linked to 5 deaths and one nonfatal heart attack to this date. Monster has 7 times the caffeine of a 12 ounce can of a cola soda. The FDA is investigating the deaths and the company for the reactions of the people. These deaths started in 2004 and nobody really knows if Monster directly caused the deaths or if there was something else. This was all brought on when a family sued last week about their daughter dying a year ago after drinking two 24 ounce Monsters within a 24 hour period. she died from a heart attack from caffeine toxicity. The examiner also found she inherited a disease that weakens blood cells. There is a limit on caffeine for soda but there is none for energy drinks. Monster told reporters they weren't aware of their product killing anybody.

Brand New car for $3000?
An Idian automaker, Tata, has anounced that he is going to bring the $3000 Nano micro car to the U.S. It is a 10 foot car that has 4 doors but it lacks some of the essentials that all cars here today have. This car doesnt have power stearing, airbags traction control. When they first created the car it was meant to compete against motorcycles and scooters. Since the car lacks those safety features and only has a 37 horse power motor, the improvements will bring the price up but still hopefully under 10,000 dollars. The car car isn't a good success in india with so many people but they think it will be greater is the U.S. I wouldn't touch this vehicle with a ten foot pole!

30 to 60 Years
Jerry Sandusky was jut sentenced to 30- 60 years in prison for abusing 10 boys in the last 15 years. Jerry was a football coach at Penn State University where he abused the boys of was "teaching them how to shower." That was his excuse for being the showers with young teenagers and younger. Jerry got out easy with 30-60 years in prison because he faced up to 400 years on 45 counts of abuse. Because of what Sandusky did the great Joe Paterno's legacy is tarnished because it happened during his time there. Penn State is also under suspension from the B1G title game for the next 4 years and aren't eligible for any bowl games. Jerry Sandusky deserves to rot in his cell.

Party busses Safe?
This weekend a 11 year old girl in Portland, Oregon fell out of a party bus emergency window on her way with friends and family to a quinceanera. A quinceanera is a really special day when a latino female turns 15 years old. The 11 year old was leaning up against an emergency exit on the bus and on a turn the window opened and the girl fell out and died on the scene. Nobody knows if the window was unlocked by somebody of if it was broken. This isn't the only party bus death this year. Last month in New York a 16 year old boy stuck his head out of an emergency exit on a double decker bus and was killed when his head struck an overpass. So are party busses safe? I really don't think so because when lots of people are together, they do stupid thing but then again it is a way of uniting as friends.
