DIVERS DISCOVER HUNDREDS OF WORLD WAR II AIRCRAFTS INSIDE THE PACIFIC OCEAN

A series of incredible photographs showing more than 150 lost World War Two aircraft on the seabed of the Pacific Ocean has been revealed

A series of incredible photographs showing more than 150 lost World War Two aircraft 130-feet under the Pacific Ocean has been revealed.
The stunning images show the planes surrounded by coral and fish as they sit - sometimes vertically - on the seabed more than seven decades after they were shot down.
The find includes historic American aircraft including Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bombers, F4U Corsair and TBF/TBM Avengers

Amazingly many of the planes have remained intact, with only a few broken tales and wings littering the floor. 
Brandi Mueller, from Cameron, Wisconsin, discovered the planes while scuba diving around five miles from Roi-Namur in the Marshall Islands.

The Douglas SBD Dauntless was manufactured from 1940 to 1944. 
It is famous for delivering the fatal blows to the Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway in June 1942 - one of the most decisive battles of World War Two.
The Dauntless was replaced by the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver in the early 1940s.
The Helldiver was a larger and faster plane, although delays in production led British and Australian troops to cancel substantial orders.

EBOLA TURNS DOCTOR'S EYE FROM BLUE TO GREEN AFTER MONTHS OF BEING TREATED

Image shows Dr Crozier's eye 14 weeks after the onset of Ebola. The arrows point to inflammatory cells clumping together due to the virus, which caused high blood pressure and vision problems

A man has been found to have Ebola in his eye several months after he was treated for the condition, which has also turned his iris from blue to green.
Ian Crozier, an American doctor, was diagnosed with Ebola in September 2014 while working in Sierra Leone with the World Health Organization.
He was sent back to the US where he received treatment at Emory University Hospital's special Ebola unit in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr Crozier left the hospital in October when Ebola was no longer detected in his blood, according to the New England Journal of Medicine.
But two months later he developed an inflammation and very high blood pressure in his left eye, causing swelling and serious vision problems.
He returned to the same hospital where he had originally been treated, and an ophthalmologist, Dr Steven Yeh, removed some of the fluid and tested it for Ebola.
Doctors say all survivors of Ebola should be monitored for possible eye infections, after Dr Ian Crozier was found to have the virus in his eye - but not his blood - two months after being declared free of the virus

Besides the problems with his vision, Dr Crozier's iris changed colour, going from blue to green 10 days after the symptoms were first detected.
After undergoing treatment with a variety of medicines, Dr Crozier began to recover his vision - although it is still not fully recovered - and his eye colour returned to normal.
Experts say cases of eye inflammation and problems with vision have been reported among survivors of Ebola in previous outbreaks, as well as among people with a virus known as Marburg, which is similar to Ebola.
But such cases are rare, the medical journal said.
In the current outbreak, some cases of people with eye trouble have been reported among survivors of Ebola.

Angalifu dies at age 44; Remaining 5 northern white rhinoceroses left in the entire world



A northern white rhinoceros died at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in California on Sunday, bringing the total number left to five in the entire world. The rhino, Angalifu, who was about 44 years old, apparently died of old age, according to the Associated Press report.
“Angalifu’s death is a tremendous loss to all of us,” said the park’s curator, Randy Rieches, in a statement, according to the AP. “Not only because he was well-beloved here at the park but also because his death brings this wonderful species one step closer to extinction.”
The zoo took to Twitter to memorialize Angalifu and draw attention to the plight of the northern white rhino via the #EndExtinction hashtag:
''Angalifu passed away. 5 northern white rhinos remain #RIP #EndExtinction Pls share condolences. Photo: Helene Hoffman''

 
His death leaves only one northern white rhino at the zoo — a female named Nola — one at a zoo in the Czech Republic and three in a preserve in Kenya.

TWO TEENAGE STUDENTS FALL FROM A BALCONY AFTER GETTING DRUNK WHILE MAKING OUT AT A LONDON PARTY

Tragic accident: International students Miguel Ramos, 18 (pictured) and Anastasia Tutik, 19, died hours after meeting each other when they fell from the balcony of a sixth-floor flat during a party in Deptford, London Death: Anastasia Tutik, 19
Two teenagers fell 60ft to their deaths in a tragic accident after they drunkenly lost their balance while 'making out' on a balcony, an inquest has ruled.
International students Anastasia Tutik, 19, and Miguel Ramos, 18, died hours after meeting each other in a sixth-floor flat party in Deptford, south east London.
Today a horrified neighbour described how the Mr Ramos, the son of a prominent Mexican politican, was 'locked together' with Russian Ms Tutik as they toppled over the flat's balcony ledge.
Dangerous: A neighbour said she saw the couple entwined on the ledge of the flat's balcony (circled)
The inquest at Southwark Crown Court heard the pair had both been drinking together on June 10 at a friend's party in the flat, which had views of the River Thames and Canary Wharf.
They became friendly and went outside to 'kiss and cuddle', said party host Alfonso Garza.

Mr Garza, also a student from Mexico,told the inquest: 'He liked her and she liked him so they went onto the balcony to make out - to kiss and cuddle. They were alone on the balcony.
'We went out and a friend shouted "they’re not here". I couldn’t believe it I walked over and saw them over the edge and he shouted "they’ve jumped".
‘I looked and could see them lying there, neither was moving and there was a lot of blood coming from Miguel’s head. Anastasia was lying either on top of him or to the side. I was in complete shock.’
Ms Tutik had only arrived in Britain from Russia in September last year and was studying A-levels at Bellerbys College, a £24,000-a-year international school in Greenwich, south east London.
