A compromised levee in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, failed Tuesday. This is forcing authorities to order more evacuations in the region. The levee failed in at least four locations along a two-mile stretch. he failure was expected to send flood waters from the Black River racing into a populated but rural area of Butler County. Police performed 59 water rescues Monday alone.

I think river patrol or whoever takes care of the levees should most certainly watch over these levees more then they are. Obviously they aren't in the best shape anymore and should be fixed.

A robot Japanese used found sauna-like conditions inside the reactor number 2 building at the Fukashima Daiichi power plant. The number two reactor has less radiation in it then the other reactors says the building owner. Reactor No. 2 is said to be leaking radioactive water. The water is filling the basement of the turbine plant and utility tunnels. The robot they used to go into the plant found temperatures up to 106F and humidity from 94-99 percent. The conditions were so bad that they fogged up the lenses of the probe's cameras, causing operators to get the robot out after only a few minutes, company officials said.

Saratoga High School in New York will have breathalyzer for each student attending prom next month. It will be at the front door to ensure that every student will attend prom in a sober fashion. Their principal says the new guideline is in response to growing concerns about student safety and alcohol use. Mostly all of the students of this school said its a good idea and they like this idea. They think that students should be checked for this since its not legal for anyone underage to do no matter the circumstances.

This is a good idea because there are probably many students who would show up to prom under the influence of alcohol.

It makes sense to use precautions like this. Every year there's students who drink before prom and usually get arrested. Doing this might affect how many people actualy do drink before prom. Also it will cut down on the dangers of drunk driving.

Early Sunday morning, two air traffic officials were caught suspended. They were caught watching a movie on a portable DVD player. The worker was watching the movie while working the radar position. For more than three minutes the movie played across the radio frequency. The problem was brought to air traffic control's attention by the pilot of a military aircraft using an alternate frequency. This is leading to a nationwide tour by top FAA officials and union representatives, to discuss professionalism and safety at air traffic control centers.

I would not want to fly on an airline where people watch movies and sleep instead of doing there job. This stuff needs to be cracked down on.

Good, they should be suspended. You shouldn't be watching a movie while your at work. What if somebody that was dangerous snuck past and hurt somebody? They need to find two more serious officials, one's that will do their job right

A house in New England is said to be haunted. This isn't just any ordinary house this is one of the oldest houses in America. They say that there is occasional footsteps on the stairs when nobody is even there, flashlights going dark with brand new batteries, and the doorbell ringing with nobody at the door. The house was built more than four hundred years ago and was built by English settlers Jonathan and Grace Fairbanks. The house is now a museum open to the public.

Dude I love haunted houses. I think my house is because I miss place everything I own. But are they real or fake and is this just a bribe to get more people to visit.
