One commuter dead, two critical and 82 hospitalized in DC Metro fire: 'Electrical fault' fills station with smoke as hundreds evacuate
L'Enfant Plaza was evacuated at 3:20pm on Monday after dozens of commuters were left in need of medical attention. A female passenger riding on a train which stopped short of the platform was taken to hospital after paramedics arrived on the scene and found no pulse. She later died. Two others are said to be in a critical condition at George Washington Hospital. Around 40 of the injured were transported by bus to Howard University Hospital, and between 20 and 25 people were taken to Washington Hospital Center. Panicked commuters described how they lay on the floor of a pitch-black train for 40 minutes in a bid get away from the smoke while announcers told them to 'stay calm'. One passenger described how a man had a seizure in the smoke-filled carriage while another banged on the closed doors and started shouting profanities as they were trapped inside.
Defiant Charlie Hebdo's first cover since massacre depicts weeping Prophet Mohammed holding 'Je Suis Charlie' sign
The cover depicts the central figure of Islam weeping and holding a placard after the magazine's lawyer previously said the commemorative issue would 'of course' depict the Prophet. Three million copies of the satirical magazine will be released on Wednesday as France mourns the death of 17 people in Islamist terror attacks in Paris last week. Pictured: Tributes to Charlie Hebdo staff Georges Wolinski, Cabu, Tignous and Charb, who were all killed in last week's terror attack.
PIERS MORGAN Fifty world leaders marched for freedom yesterday. So where was the leader of the free world? Watching football - and dropping the ball
PIERS MORGAN: It was one of the most powerful images of solidarity the world has seen since the end of World War II. A million and a half people marching through the streets of Paris, some crying, many cheering, others chanting 'Je suis Charlie!' or singing La Marseillaise - that most spine-tingling of all national anthems. At the head of the march were 50 world leaders; the Prime Ministers of France, Britain, Spain, Denmark, Poland, Turkey and Israel stood side-by-side, arm-in-arm with the German chancellor, the Palestinian president, and the Queen of Jordan. But Obama wasn't there.
Charlie Hebdo killers' hostage reveals how he hid under sink where fanatic was pouring himself a glass of water and texted: 'I think they have killed everyone. Tell police'
Lillian Lepere, 27, gave his first interview to French TV (right) three days after his ordeal in a print works near Paris (left) where the Kouachi brothers staged their last stand. 'One took a drink from the sink and I could see his shadow', he said, adding his heart stopped beating and he stopped breathing 'like in movies'. The extremist brothers (inset left) died after an eight-hour standoff with armed police, two days after they slaughtered 12 people in an attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
'We didn't seem to be doing the right thing by being saved at all!' The angry letter by rich Titanic passenger accused of bribing crew to row away in empty lifeboat revealed
Aristocratic fashion designer Lady Lucile Duff-Gordon wrote of the 'disgraceful' treatment she and her husband received in 1912. She and husband Cosmo Duff Gordon were accused in the press of bribing crew to row faster after 12 were saved in their boat, which was built for 40. Tabloids of the day dubbed it the 'Money Boat' though a British Wreck Commissioner's inquiry would later clear the couple of wrongdoing.
'She screamed and there was a loud bang': Fiance reveals he was on the PHONE to bride-to-be when she was shot dead by 'mother-in-law from hell' weeks before wedding
Rod Hernandez, 58, from Salt Lake City, Utah, was just weeks away from tying the knot with Tanya Nikitina, pictured with him left, when she was gunned down by her former mother-in-law, Mary Nance Hanson, 71, inset right. Tanya, 34, who's real name is Tetyana, was talking to Rod in the pre-school car park where she worked as a teacher when her life was horrifically cut short. Rod heard the attack as he spoke to Tanya on the phone and said his fiance's dying moments will haunt him forever.
Brains, veins and bones as you've never seen them: Scanner reveals gruesome, high-definition images of the human body
The GE scanners, used by doctors in Florida, are currently involved in their first clinical trial aimed at making the process of medical scanning cheaper and easier. Dubbed 'Revolution CT', they beam x-rays through a patient's body from which a computer can reconstruct a high-definition image, slice by slice. The Buckinghamshire-based healthcare group claims that the scanner can build an image of a complete heart in just a single heartbeat. From left to right; a foot with a screw in it; a pelvis and the aorta; andigh-definition the skull and Circle of Willis, which supplies blood to the brain.
Terrifying moment slipping boy, 9, crashed from a ski lift onto the mountain below after an adult who caught him by his JACKET finally had to let go
This is the terrifying moment a nine-year-old boy fell from a ski lift and clung on for 45 seconds. The child was on holiday at Pennsylvania's Liberty Mountain Resort when he slipped from the chair. Incredibly, one of the adults sat with him grabbed his jacket, leaving the boy suspended 20 feet from the ground for 45 seconds, pictured far left. However, it was too much for the adult who was forced to let the boy go after screaming for him to drop his skies, pictured center. Officials stopped the lift and rushed to the scene, shouting at the boy to kick off his skis, pictured far right.
Cops search Virginia mountain for bodies of young sisters who vanished 40 years ago
Federal and state authorities began searching Taylor's Mountain on Monday for remains belonging to Katherine Lyon, 10, and Sheila Lyon, 12. The sisters had walked from their home in Kensington, Maryland to a mall in Wheaton for pizza and to visit the Easter exhibits on March 25, 1975. They were seen walking home to meet their 4pm curfew but never made it back and have not been seen since. Last year, authorities named Richard Allen Welch Sr. and his nephew, Lloyd Lee Welch - a child sex offender serving time in Delaware - as persons of interest in the case. Welch Sr. is believed to own or have owned property on Taylor's Mountain.
The Delta flight that took off with only TWO passengers on board after 11-hour delay
NEW A Delta airlines flight from Cleveland to New York City was so badly delayed that by the time it took off there were only two passengers left to get on board. The scheduled 7:15am service from Ohio to New York's LaGuardia airport was hit by delay after delay throughout Monday, and didn't take off until around 6pm that evening. Chris O'Leary (pictured) was one of the two.
They'd be in HOW much debt? From cosy Brooklyn rentals to tuition and stints in rehab, how the characters of Girls live way beyond their meager means
Shoshanna would be the most deeply in debt - largely because she is a student at NYU for the first three seasons. Tuition fees of $3,847.50 per month, share of a Nolita apartment ($1275 per month) and living expenses of $1327.04 per month, add up to a hefty $6,449.54. While we can assume that Shoshanna's parents pick up that tab, the same is not true of Hannah, who struggled in season one when her parents cut her off. Though she managed to find a job in Cafe Grumpy, her monthly income of $1,512 barely covers her share of rent on the Greenpoint apartment she shares with Marnie ($1,450), let alone living expenses of $1,509.18 each month. This adds up to a monthly loss of $1,447.18.
'We're going to keep fighting': Bengals star Devon Still reveals his daughter still has cancer - despite treatment funded when the team reversed decision to cut him
