    that's weird. i wonder how he was still alive if he didn't even have a heartbeat.

    As long as someone still has some brain activity they are still technically alive

    It must have been a really happy day for the family, and a frightening day for the funeral home workers.

    Wow, I do believe miracles can happen. I would've been scared out of my wits if a body suddenly started to move that was pronounced dead, though. But I'm happy for his family who got to spend two weeks with the man (:

    That's crazy. It was good for the family though.
  • Lauren Colpitts on 25 Mar 14
     
    I feel as if maybe the person who pronounced him dead maybe didn't go through all the steps correctly because although I do believe in miracles, I don't know if something like that can really happen. He would have had to be only dead for a very short amount of time. But that's great for the family that got to spend 2 more weeks with him.

    The crisis in Ukraine continued to escalate dangerously this weekend, with NATO's top military commander warning that troops amassing on Russia's border could continue Vladimir Putin's territorial ambitions with an invasion of Ukraine's mainland.

    If Russia can take Crimea who's going to stop them from taking other places?
  • gabriella24 on 19 Mar 14
     
    I agree that Russia is 'robbing' Crimea because Crimea was an independent country. Of course Crimea wouldn't be able to fight against the forces of Russia, but Russia took over Crimea and took advantage of a smaller victim.
  • Andrew Myers on 19 Mar 14
     
    If Russia is starting to take back past territories from the Soviet's pre-break up area, then there is possibility that they may be planning to take back more than what they say what they've decided to stop with.

    "The first turn to the west that diverted the missing Malaysia Airlines plane from its planned flight path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing was carried out through a computer system that was most likely programmed by someone in the plane's cockpit who was knowledgeable about airplane systems, according to senior American officials."
  • rpeters048 on 19 Mar 14
     
    I think its a little suspicious that 2/3s of the plane's passengers were Chinese, yet I still believe there was a malfunction that occurred on the plane instead of an act of terrorism.

    I don't think there is anyway that it could have landed without someone being able to trace them.
  • Hailey Hallagan on 19 Mar 14
     
    What I don't understand is that they keep saying that " there is a chance that it could have landed. " I think that they will know when it has landed...
  • rjackson654 on 19 Mar 14
     
    If it didn't land, it crashed, if it crashed it should have been detected. So, my guess is that it flew outside of the area they are searching, to an island or something.

Questions Over Absence of Cellphone Calls From Missing Flight's Passengers - 0 views

    SEPANG, Malaysia - When hijackers took control of four airplanes on Sept. 11, 2001, and sent them hurtling low across the countryside toward New York and Washington, frantic passengers and flight attendants turned on cellphones and air phones and began making calls to loved ones, airline managers and the authorities. But when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 did a wide U-turn in the middle of the night over the Gulf of Thailand and then spent nearly half an hour swooping over two large Malaysian cities and various towns and villages, there was apparently silence. As far as investigators have been able to determine, there have been no phone calls, Twitter or Weibo postings, Instagram photos or any other communication from anyone aboard the aircraft since it was diverted.
  • Evan Dreessen on 19 Mar 14
     
    Obviously, the hijackers would take their phones from them. In today's age, cellphones are used all the time. In 2001 the cell phones couldn't do as much so they were not a threat to the hijackers. Is that logical?

    I think the plane was sabotaged by someone on the flight. After the loss of communications, the data reporting system, and the transponder both shut off at different times. Maybe.

    I think that they should of shut school down for a while. They put a bunch of peoples lives in danger. Even if they checked their bags and what not, that doesn't mean they aren't considered dangerous.
  • Abbey Tierney on 12 Mar 14
     
    i Think that they should shut the school down until they take all the security measures possible to make sure something doesn't happen again
  • Kelly Hickey on 12 Mar 14
     
    It stinks that things like this keep happening. Why do people keep making serious threats to hurt other people at schools? What do they gain from that?
  • rjackson654 on 12 Mar 14
     
    They should have shut down the school for awhile. It should be taken with more precaution they should have taken even just a day or two to decide if what they are doing is enough to keep people safe.
  • rpeters048 on 12 Mar 14
     
    I feel like they have done everything right in this situation, there isn't a whole lot more they can do to help the cause. Closing school a little longer I feel wouldn't have a huge effect on the situation, yet it could help the students clear their mind and stuff.
  • Autumn Bettcher on 12 Mar 14
     
    Safety measures should be taken and those who were addressed in the "hit list" should have extra protection seeing as they are targets of this threat.
  • Bryan Pregon on 13 Mar 14
     
    I agree with many comments here. It would seem that there must have been enough credible evidence to think that the person making the threat might act on it. Even though I posted the article, I think we can sometimes get over excited when hearing these sorts of stories... the fact is, schools are among the SAFEST places for us to be. There has been school violence (even locally), but those situations are thankfully very rare!
  • Melanie Mathiesen on 13 Mar 14
     
    It makes sense that the school is taking the measures needed to make the school a safer environment. No one should have to go to their job or their classes scared of being killed.
  • Lauren Colpitts on 14 Mar 14
     
    School should have been closed for awhile until it was safe for everyone. They need to make sure that no one is in any sort of danger. The school should go through all the things wrong and find ways to fix it all.
  • Bethany Churchill on 14 Mar 14
     
    I agree that it is important for threats to be prevented, and I think what they are doing to prevent them may just be what is needed to be done.
  • Este Smiley on 14 Mar 14
     
    I think the steps they are taking are the right way to handle the situation. Everyone should be considered a suspect, you never know who could be behind the threats. The administrators and students safety should be their top priority.
