Good evening, I'm Anthony J. Scoobington, with WSCB TV.
A fire at a California home care facility for the disabled has killed four adults and left two others hospitalized, authorities said Sunday. The fire was reported at about 11:45p.m. Saturday in Marina, a small coastal community in Monterey County, about 100 miles south of San Francisco. Apparently, the four adults had their left wheelchair brake on, so they kept rolling in small circles to the left.
Forty-five Chinese coal miners trapped by a cave-in were rescued Saturday. Eight miners were killed in the cave-in at the mine in the city of Samenxia in Henan province, in Central China. Seven miners were rescued Friday. China's coal mines are the deadliest in the world. It is reported that the miners were secretly trying to see if they dug straight down that they would end up in the United States. Their attempt was unsuccessful.
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will meet Monday with the leader of the country's main opposition party to discuss who will become the nation's next prime minister. The meeting comes a day after President Karolos Papoulias announced that Papandreou will step down amid the country's financial crisis -- as long as a controversial 130 billion euro bailout deal is approved. If the deal is not approved Greece will reportedly have a gyro & kabob sale. We have been sent a copy of their menu:
One lamb gyro -$120 million.
Two lamb gyro's-$230 million.
One kabob & gyro platter-$500 million. *Served with rice for an additional $6 million
From the folks at WSCB have a great evening. Stay hydrated.
