1. MISSING PLANE
Let’s try this: The results have been fruitless so far in the hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. More than 300 search flights. Over 3,000 hours in the air. A staggering 4 million square kilometers of ocean. And nothing to show for it. Today, search officials announced that a new, “more difficult” phase was beginning. Australia estimates the cost at about $60 million. Even at that price tag, nothing is guaranteed.
2. CIRCUS ACCIDENT
Human chandelier: It sounds beautiful and exquisite, but suddenly turned horrifying as it crashed to the ground yesterday at a performance of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Providence, Rhode Island. Eight performers hanging by their hair fell when the apparatus holding them about 30 feet in the air failed, the circus said. Another performer was injured on the ground.
3. PISTORIUS TRIAL
Back in court: It’s been a couple of weeks, but the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius resumed in South Africa today. The 27-year-old admits that he shot and killed his cover model girlfriend, but he denies that he murdered her, saying he thought she was an intruder in his house in the middle of the night. The prosecution aims to prove Pistorius intentionally shot and killed Reeva Steenkamp last year. The defense team hopes to cast doubt on that claim.
