| 2 people survive late-season Southcentral Alaska avalanches Two people were caught in Southcentral Alaska avalanches on Saturday, but suffered only minor injuries. The slides, in the Hatcher and Turnagain Pass areas, come near the end of an avalanche season experts say is notable both for its heightened danger and lack of deaths. The latest forecasts from the Hatcher Pass Avalanche Center and the Chugach National Forest Avalanche Information Center, issued Saturday and Tuesday respectively, call for moderate danger of slab avalanches at all elevations. The highest fall in Saturday's slides occurred shortly after noon in the Captain's Chair formation of Turnagain Pass. Four people snowmachined up the 4,300-foot ridge to ski down the chair's northwest face one at a time, according to the Chugach information center. ALASKA PUBLIC MEDIA PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: RVs, boats, classic car burned in Texas storage facility fire sparked by unattended candles, officials say An early morning fire that was sparked by unattended candles completely destroyed a boat and RV storage facility in north Houston. SkyEye video shows the aftermath of the massive fire at A-Safe-T Storage at 11539 N. Houston Rosslyn at Breen Drive, which is a total loss. Officials said the fire first started at 5:15 a.m. Wednesday. Several boats, RVs, and even a classic car went up in flames. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, but thousands of dollars were lost. "The candle was on top of a wooden dresser. The dresser caught on fire first, and once that caught on fire, anything that's flammable," District Chief Roland Silva with the Northwest Volunteer Fire Department said. "It was right next to an old converted school bus that was like their shop, a makeshift shop for them." Silva said two brothers renting the space to work were using the candles to light up a dark area. KTRK-TV ABC 13 HOUSTON Firefighters, others come together for ‘Ride to Remember' to honor lives lost in 1995 Oklahoma City bombing VIDEO: Oklahoma will never forget what happened 28 years ago. One hundred sixty-eight people died when terrorists detonated a bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. The day forever changed the lives of many Oklahomans, including first responders. Now, every year around this time, firefighters and others come together for a "Ride to Remember." Motorcycle riders from near and far come together to remember. "I'll never forget it as long as I live," said Marty Thorne, retired Oklahoma City Fire Department, Wind and Fire Motorcycle Club member. Many are retired firefighters who responded to the bombing. "One of the things that caught my attention right away right out front of the Regency Apartments, was the axle from the Ryder truck that embedded in a vehicle that was parked outside The Regency Tower apartment," said Keith Bryant, retired OKCFD, Wind and Fire Motorcycle Club. KOCO-TV ABC 5 OKLAHOMA CITY Related: Oklahoma City bombing - the attack, the aftermath, and a city's resilience 2 Factors Contributed to Deadly New York City Parking Garage Collapse, Initial Findings Show VIDEOS: Investigators looking into the lower Manhattan parking garage that collapsed a day ago, killing one worker and hurting five others as concrete floors pancaked atop one another, say initial findings indicate the age of the building, and the number of vehicles parked on the roof deck, contributed to the disaster, officials said Wednesday. The Ann Street garage — which was originally constructed in 1925 -- obtained its certificate of occupancy in 1957. That certificate allowed for five or more cars to be on each floor — and footage from Tuesday's collapse showed well more than that on each level. Dozens of cars and SUVs were seen in the collapsed rubble. Investigators began to meticulously comb through the details Wednesday as the immediate area remained shut down. Wary of the danger of further collapse, officials warned their investigation would likely be exhaustive, and prolonged, meaning there's no telling when a final cause may be determined.

Jacob Stevens' family made the difficult decision to say goodbye after the Greenfield teen spent nearly a week on a ventilator. WSYX in Columbus said Stevens was attempting what's been dubbed the "Benadryl Challenge" on TikTok. The trend tasks participants with taking between 12 and 14 tablets of the antihistamine, six times the recommended dose, to induce hallucinations. Stevens' family told WSYX that the teen was at home with his friends earlier this month when he overdosed. His friends were filming him down the tablets when his body began seizing. "No brain scan. There was nothing there. He said we could keep him on the vent — we could, you know, he could lay there like that but he will never open his eyes, he will never breathe on his own, do anything like that," Stevens' grandmother Dianna said.
