As engineering fails this one is fairly benevolent, but crazy that people as far away as Oakland are hearing the bridge sing.

A U.S. service member and his family were found dead inside an SUV in the garage of their Texas home on Thursday from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, according to multiple reports.

Police were originally called to the home for a welfare check after the father, a military service member, failed to check in to work, which he had started doing from home, San Antonio's WOAI-TV reported. Police also found a "cryptic note" on the door written in military jargon that said bodies could be found inside. The note reportedly added that animals could be found in a freezer.

A U.S. service member and his family were found dead inside an SUV in the garage of their San Antonio, Texas home on Thursday from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. After officers were able to enter the home, they found the bodies of a couple, both in their 30s, along with their four children. They were all inside the vehicle in what was believed to be a case of murder-suicide, San Antonio police Chief William McManus said at a news conference.

Police said a drone later sent inside the house found what was believed to be possible explosives. It forced the evacuation of more than 200 homes in the area around 5 p.m., according to The San Antonio Express-News. No such explosives were found when police eventually entered and found the bodies, McManus said. He added it wasn't clear which military branch the man was with.

The family had reportedly moved back into the home in January after residing elsewhere.

A massive Asian drug bust has stirred a fentanyl mystery - The World from PRX

A recent bust on the Myanmar-China border was too massive to fit inside any room. The police had to spread out their haul in a pasture.

“When they put it on display, it was like a football field full of chemicals and equipment,” said Jeremy Douglas, who is the regional representative of the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) for Southeast Asia and the Pacific.“It is by far,” he said, “the largest amount of meth ever seized.”

The seizure netted 18 tons of meth, mostly in the form of tiny pink pills, nearly 200 million of them stuffed into bulging sacks. Also seized were barrels of chemicals, almost too many to capture in a single photo. This included drums filled with a super-potent type of fentanyl — called methyl fentanyl — that may be as much as 200 times more powerful than heroin. There were roughly 1,000 gallons of the stuff, enough to fill about 25 bathtubs, and get millions of people high. Investigators still don’t know where it was headed: possibly around Southeast Asia, to cities such as Sydney or Seoul or even to North America.

But the story behind the raid is quite messy — one involving double-crossing traffickers, Chinese mafia and even the White House.

Surprised they don't mix it into the food and crap they send to the US. "Just a little, nobody will notice".

Fentanyl is extremely powerful. People would be dropping dead if they did stuff like that, which garners scrutiny, which is the last thing they want lol

A newer better Fentanyl is starting to show up, Carfentanil. It's 100 x stronger than Fentanyl which is fucking insane, .02 mg can kill you

It's not really a new one. Not really "better" either, just stronger. It was mostly used for tranquilizing very large animals. Pretty sure it was never really used medically for humans. However, because it has started to show up in the past few years in drug cases, a lot of toxicology labs do test for it (it has unique chemical markers and metabolites that differentiate it from other opioids).

The big issue is many drug dealers are cutting stuff like cocaine or heroin with fentanyl and related derivatives, because of the fact it is very potent. But as a result, lots of people OD because either the mixture is wrong or the user does their "regular" dosage of the drug, not expecting it to be juiced up with fentanyl, which results in them ODing.

‘Out of a movie’: Sparks fly on 91 Freeway in Corona when motorcycle gets stuck to SUV


By Brian Rokos | [email protected] and City News Service | [email protected] | The Press-Enterprise

PUBLISHED: June 20, 2020 at 2:07 p.m. | UPDATED: June 20, 2020 at 5:19 p.m.

An SUV with a riderless motorcycle stuck to its front bumper hurtled along the 91 Freeway in Corona on Friday, June 19, as a stream of sparks erupted beneath the vehicles.

“It looked straight out of a movie, we could not believe it,” wrote videographer Will Panda, who posted the video to his YouTube channel.

The vehicle, traveling east, apparently exited at McKinley Street. The video concludes with shots of people gathered around the motorcycle and the bumper on nearby Sampson Avenue, and of the empty SUV stopped in a field after crashing into a fence.


The driver of the minivan, identified by the California Highway Patrol as 25-year-old George Cesar Valentin, was ultimately arrested after he entered the Corona Police Department and attempted to report the minivan stolen, CHP Officer Juan Quintero said.

CHP officers questioned Valentin, who ultimately admitted being the driver of the minivan during the collision, they said. He was arrested on suspicion of hit-and-run driving.

The motorcyclist, a 37-year-old Jurupa Valley man, was ejected as a result of the collision and was found by officers on the right shoulder of the eastbound 91 Freeway near Main Street. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

CHP officers received multiple calls of the traffic collision about 8 p.m. Friday, Quintero said.

Investigators learned that the motorcyclist was directly in front of the minivan in the far right eastbound lane near Main Street in Corona when the collision occurred. The motorcycle was traveling about 65 miles per hour, while the minivan was traveling about 70 miles per hour, Quintero said.

The minivan struck the rear of the motorcycle, knocking the motorcyclist off while the driver of the minivan continued eastbound with the motorcycle still attached in front.

Witnesses followed the minivan, which exited at McKinley and entered into a Carl’s Jr. parking lot near the area of McKinley and Sampson Avenue. Valentin then drove westbound on Sampson Avenue at a high rate of speed. The motorcycle dislodged before the driver lost control and collided with a chain-link fence, Quintero said.

Valentin allegedly fled the crash on foot into a nearby drainage wash, where witnesses lost sight of him.

CHP officers received a call from the Corona Police Department about 11:45 p.m., advising that Valentin, the registered owner of the minivan, was attempting to report it stolen.
