Log-slapping causes 25 stitches

A 13-year old Casey Murthick from Leeds, England was playing football at the park when someone “jumped out from behind a tree” and “smashed him in the face” with a log on Feb. 14. As a result of the accident, Casey had to get 25 stitches after getting his nose smashed.

According to Casey’s mother, he was in shock and all he was saying was “my nose, my nose.”  The mother’s boyfriend went to see who the attacker was and spotted a girl in a grey jumpsuit that ran. Despite his injuries, Casey was back and playing football again within a few days.

Flying ‘roller coaster’ unable to land

Passengers on a British Airways flight from London to Gibraltar International Airport experienced quite a ride, as strong winds stopped the plane from landing and caused it to sway dramatically.

Several passengers were terrified during the events, but one passenger said, “I was in seat 16C. All I heard was laughter from my fellow teammates about how much the flight resembled a roller coaster.”

The same passenger took a video of his thrilled friends as the plane swayed up and down. Planes landing in Gibraltar are used to some strong winds, but this flight was a little out of the ordinary.
