boys buried in snow pile heard rescuers calling

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Two boys
trapped in a snow pile for about seven
hours after a plow buried them could
hear their worried family's cries but
couldn't respond loudly enough to be
heard, they said Friday. Police credited
an air pocket with saving their lives.
The two cousins, 11-year-old Elijah
Martinez and 9-year-old Jason Rivera,
were building a snow fort Wednesday
night across the street from Elijah's
apartment in Newburgh when a plow
operator clearing a parking lot
unknowingly pushed snow over them.
Buried in about 5 feet of snow, they
could barely move and couldn't breathe
very well, so they could do nothing as
they heard the anguished cries nearby.
Jason lost his gloves. His hat flew off.
They relied on each other to stay alive,
they said, sharing Elijah's face mask to
try and keep their hands warm and
talking to each other so they wouldn't fall
asleep.
"I felt so tired. It didn't feel real that they
were coming to get us," Elijah said at a
news conference at the hospital where
the boys were recovering.
Meanwhile, their parents were growing
more frantic, calling police and searching
through the snowy streets for the
children who were mere feet from the
apartment.
"I just kept telling myself: 'This is not
true. This is not real,'" said Jason's
mom, Aulix Martinez. "It was just scary,
and as time went on, it got scarier. I was
begging the police to please find them."

Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the jungle, but crocodiles rule the river. At least most of the time. That wasn’t the case in a video shared by Kruger Sightings the other day. It shows a young lion crossing a river and getting blindsided by a crocodile. A woman in the background can be heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my God,” just before the inevitable. But it has a happy ending: A happy ending for the lion, that is. The crocodile’s next meal would have to wait. The footage was captured by a tourist while standing on the H10 bridge near the Lower Sabie River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. “All we can say is, lions should always look both [ways] before crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings said on Facebook

Amber Rose Sex video

American model, recording artist, actress, socialite and former stripper Amber Rose has been caught up in a sex tape video scandal made before she gave the stripper lifestyle up and after hooking up with Wiz Khalifa generating the Amber Rose sex tape video buzz. The video that is said to feature a man that looks stunningly like Kim Kardashian’s current man Kanye West features the two in a fancy hotel with Amber showing her stripper skills in full detail. She starts off giving the “un-known” male oral for a bit then proceeds to let him hit it from behind all recorded by the male featured in the video for approximately 25min. The funny thing is that right in the middle of the two going at it another girl comes over out of no where and starts kissing on Amber and holds what appears to be a joint for her while the guy never misses a beat and is said to overall be a great video. Calls to Amber’s reps have gone un-returned though she has gone on record stating ...
