And then "9 officers were tied up?" That's where it gets even kinkier. ;-) I am sure the APB about a naked woman pulled the officers away from their donuts so quickly they spilled coffee on their pants, at least that is what they will tell their captain to explain the wet spot.

Seriously?! Maybe the parents should bone up and take some responsibility for putting their "child" on a flight. This kid doesn't seem terribly responsible and if the parents knew that, they should have made sure to let a flight attendant know that their "child" wasn't mature or smart enough to know when to get on and off of a plane. This is ridiculous.

My heart breaks for this young life ended in the blink of an eye but why is everyone jumping to conclusions without knowing the facts? It is possible it was negligence but isn't it also possible that there was a medical condition that caused him to crash? There was no word that drugs, alcohol or speed was a factor in this, at least not yet. Rather than crucifying this guy, let's wait until we find out more info.

My condolences to Nicole's family and friends. So sorry for your loss.

I find that many people who smoke e-cigs in places that ban cigarettes, ie., restaurants, public transportation, etc., are doing so to be smug and sometimes have an "in your face" attitude while doing so. It's like they are just waiting for someone to say something to them.

If I smoked and was using an e-cig to try to quit, I would do my best NOT to draw attention to myself by smoking in an enclosed place such as MAX or a public office building.

She looks great at 60! I commend her for having the cajones to go public with her weight woes and do something to get the weight off.

I have been to Croatia and also Bosnia and Hercegovina and read a lot about the history of this war prior to my trip. Over 10,000 CIVILIANS were killed in the first 6 months of this "war." It is such recent history and so sad that so many were killed. I hope justice is served against these two animals.

This woman is an animal. No, she is worse than an animal. Animal care for their young much more lovingly than this MONSTER did for her child! I hope she is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and that when she is in prison, she is treated the same way she treated her poor, defenseless daughter. Tragic!

Charging for the bags encourages people to bring their own bags. Many countries all over the world have been using this method for years. We are behind the times.

The plastic bags are light and end up getting blown all over the place, get caught in fences, trees and bushes and it is very unsightly, not to mention the amount of time it takes them to biodegrade.

I welcome this ban as I have been using reusable bags for years.
