Horrible Amusement Park Tragedy As Summer Ends

 

6-year-old Wongel Estifanos, of Colorado Springs, Colorado

The "Haunted Mine Drop" ride plunges riders 110 feet inside a mountain. It goes at the speed of 96 ft a second, at the bottom of the ride is a lot of skeletons and bones in a large pile. They will probably permanently close this ride as it is always going to be remembered for this horrible tragedy, and it is insensitive to open it again.

Where Is The Man With All The Toys?

 

 

 

I hope you're enjoying this season of joy! In case you were not aware, I wanted to let you know about a great service that lets you track Santa Claus as he travels throughout the world, delivering gifts. It all began with a phone call from one little boy, to talk to Santa Claus at the mall. But the newspaper had printed the number wrong, so he got instead a division of the Air Force. The man there, Col. Harry Shoup, played along, recognizing the importance to the child. He made sure that all of Santa's calls would be fielded properly that December. This is how the military got involved in delivering a Christmas tradition to many families, who use NORAD's Santa Tracker to keep up with Santa's whereabouts. They also still answer phone calls from curious children.
