Shocking videos capture at least a hundred teenagers falling across the floor at a massive home party in a Denver suburb Colorado during the weekend.

Three people were taken to hospital, one with serious injuries after the floor collapsed in the basement under the weight of more than 100 partygoers, authorities said.

The South Metro Fire and Rescue Service (SMFR) said crews responded to the house southeast of Aurora around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday.

“Part of the first floor collapsed in the basement because of a big party with 100-150 minors inside,” the SMFR said.

A video from the party shows the teenagers dancing and jumping up and down, until the floor finally gives way below them in a brutal accident.

This was announced by the Arapaho County Sheriff’s Office KUSA that the owners had organized the birthday of their 18-year-old grandson at the time of the collapse.

It is unclear whether they were home at the time.

Two of the partygoers, who were among the teenagers who fell across the floor, said they found out about the party because the home’s address was shared on social media.

Cass Henry, 15, and his brother AJ Henry, 17, told KUSA that the party quickly spiraled out of control.

“I think it just spread a little bit, so everyone thought it was just an open day,” Cass said. “People just started showing up.”

Cass went to the hospital with a broken ankle.

“Two seconds before the ground broke, you could hear everything falling apart, but there wasn’t enough time to do anything about it,” Cass said.

The Southern Metro Fire and Rescue Service said the collapse caused a natural gas leak, but has since been stopped and the house is uninhabitable.

Authorities have not identified the homeowners or those taken to the hospital, but said it appeared to be a horrific incident and there is currently no criminal investigation.

The Southern Metro Fire Service said the collapse caused a natural gas leak, but it has since been stopped and the house is uninhabitable.

“It’s amazing that no one was seriously injured or killed,” Scott Richardson, head of special operations for the SMFR, told KUSA.

Richardson added that he had never seen such a collapse in his career as this.

“It’s not the static weight we just stand on [the floor]but if people jump up and down and that creates what we call a ‘shock load’ on the floor, and then you can’t really predict what will happen, “he said.

The 40-mile (64-kilometer) Russian military convoy, consisting of armored vehicles, tanks, towed artillery and other logistics vehicles, reached the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital, according to satellite images from Maxar Technologies. Maxar said he had seen streams of smoke rising from a number of homes and buildings near the roads the convoy was traveling on, although it was unclear what the reason was.

The new images come when U.S. officials told lawmakers at secret briefings Monday that a second wave of Russian troops is likely to consolidate the country’s position in Ukraine and a huge number may be able to overcome Ukrainian resistance, according to two people familiar with the case. briefing.

“This part was discouraging,” an MP told CNN.

More than 400 civilians have been killed or injured since Moscow’s unprovoked attack on its neighbor began on Thursday, according to the United Nations, and Ukraine’s leader has accused Russia of committing war crimes by targeting civilians.

But US officials fear the worst is yet to come. U.S. officials, previously surprised by fierce Ukrainian resistance who saw ordinary citizens take up arms, now fear the situation is becoming “much more challenging” for Ukrainians.

U.S. officials said at a briefing Monday that Russia is likely to begin a siege of Kyiv, leading to ugly scenes of urban warfare, said one person familiar with the matter.

In Kherson, where the Ukrainian military has resisted the Russian attack for days, Ukrainian defense lines appear to have fallen and Russian military vehicles have already been spotted driving in the city.

After a meeting on Capitol Hill on Monday, at which Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States requested more weapons, senior US Republican Sen. Jim Rich said Ukraine was in trouble.

“This is David vs. Goliath,” he said.

War crimes charges

Russia’s attack also raises concerns about the safety of civilians who have already been targeted by Russian forces, according to Ukraine.

Ukraine has accused Russia of committing war crimes by targeting civilians, and the International Criminal Court said Monday it would launch an investigation into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a move welcomed by Kyiv.

ICC Prosecutor Karim AA Khan said in a statement that after a preliminary investigation into the situation, there is a reasonable basis to believe that both the alleged war crimes and the crimes against humanity were committed in Ukraine.

Russia says it is not targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and that there is no evidence of civilian deaths caused by the Russian military. The outgoing chairman of the UN Security Council, Vasily Nebenzia, reiterated these allegations on Monday, saying that “the influx of dirty lies circulating in the Western media has unfortunately become a dangerous sign of our time.”

But there is growing evidence that civilians are under attack, and the United Nations said Monday that 406 civilian casualties have been reported in Ukraine.

Russian forces bombed a residential area in Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, on Monday, killing nine civilians, including three children, and wounding 37 others, the city’s mayor Igor Terekhov said. CNN asked Russian authorities to comment on the attack.

In a speech late Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack on Kharkiv was an “obvious war crime”.

“Kharkov is a quiet city, there are quiet residential areas, no military sites. Dozens of eyewitness accounts prove that this is not a fake volley, but a deliberate destruction of people. The Russians knew where they were shooting.

“No one in the world will forgive you for killing the peaceful Ukrainian people,” he added.

Russia’s shelling of Ukraine continued during talks between the two countries on Monday, with Zelensky saying the attacks were “synchronized” with the five-hour talks.

“There can be fair negotiations if one side does not hit the other side with missile artillery during the talks,” he said in a Facebook statement. “I think that with this simple-minded method Russia is trying to put pressure.

Both sides discussed a potential “ceasefire and cessation of hostilities on Ukrainian territory,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podoliak told reporters. Without going into details, he said both sides would return to their capitals for consultations on whether to implement a number of “decisions”.

A country in crisis

As fierce battles are fought across the country, many Ukrainians are fleeing to safety.

There are already 520,000 refugees from Ukraine in neighboring counties, a figure growing “exponentially, hour after hour,” Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), told the UN Security Council on Monday.

Many of them are women who have had to make difficult decisions to abandon their fathers and husbands – men between the ages of 18 and 60 are barred from leaving Ukraine.

Foreigners are also desperately trying to leave the country. In the Ukrainian village of Shehini on the border with Poland, foreigners have to wait in the cold for hours to get out, with some even lighting a fire to keep warm.

Some foreign students trying to leave told CNN they had faced racist treatment from Ukrainian security forces and border guards.

“Ukrainians have given priority to Africans – men and women – everywhere,” said Rachel Onegbule, a Nigerian medical student in Lviv, in a phone call Sunday as she waited in line at the border to cross into Poland. .

Some Ukrainians chose to stay and join the resistance. Volunteers flock to the capital, where many feel disobedience. Some collect bottles to make Molotov cocktails.

The newlyweds Yarina Arieva and Svyatoslav Fursin spent their honeymoon in battles to defend their country.

“Nobody here says we’re going to lose or cry,” Arieva, of Kyiv, told CNN. “Everyone here believes we will win. It’s only a matter of time. So I’m very happy to see this huge number of people really ready to fight. They are ready to kill for their land. No doubt in our victory in this war. “

However, the picture for those in Ukraine is “bleak” – and could get worse, said Martin Griffiths of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on Monday.

“Airstrikes and fighting in urban areas damage critical civilian facilities and disrupt basic services such as health, electricity, water and sanitation, effectively leaving civilians without a basis for daily life,” said Griffiths, OCHA’s deputy secretary. – General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Coordinator.

He said the actual number of civilian casualties “could be significantly higher, as many reported casualties have not yet been confirmed”.

Request for support

As Russia’s brutal attack on Ukraine continues, Kyiv desperately wants additional support from international forces.

Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, told a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Capitol Hill on Monday that her country needed more weapons and other assistance in its existential struggle against Russia.

“We are not asking anyone to fight for us, we are defending our country. But we need all the support that the whole civilized world can give us to continue to fight effectively, and also sanctions,” she said. after the meeting.

In recent days, US President Joe Biden has instructed Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to provide up to $ 350 million in immediate support for Ukraine’s defense – but officials have also admitted privately that it will be harder to get new aid to Ukraine than before. when you can fly directly to Kyiv.

Australia will send missiles as part of a $ 50 million package of deadly and non-lethal aid to help Ukraine repel Russian forces, Prime Minister Scott Morrison told a news conference on Tuesday.

CNN’s Jeremy Herb, Lauren Fox, Ted Barrett, Claire Foran, Caitlan Collins, Ali Zaslav, Liam Reilly and Puja Salhotra, Paul P. Murphy, Morgan Reamer, Richard Roth, Nick Peyton Walsh, Alexandra Ochman, Tim Lister, Stephanie Boose Nimi Princeville and Shama Nasinde, Arva Damon and Clarissa Ward contributed to this report.

Indian brave, courtesan, slave and the strongest snorer in the world

LOTS OF LIFE: AUTOPIOGRAPHY BY STEPHANIE BEACHAM (Hay House £ 15.99)

from John Harding for MailOnline
Updated: 2:23 PM GMT on November 4, 2011

Spiritual side: Actress Stephanie Beach

It takes some time to get into this book, because first you have to navigate the prologue and not one or two prefaces, the first of the author’s 11-year-old grandson, who reveals that at 4 o’clock in the morning without makeup Stephanie Beam has green skin , witch’s hair and creates nightmares for him. But the wait is worth it, because, uniquely for a resume, you get not just a lonely life, but many of them.

Stephanie is one of those people (usually old actresses living in California) who lived before. Visiting Versailles takes her back as a courtesan there during the ancient regime; traveling around Egypt, she remembers being an Israeli slave. In the Wild West, she was an old Indian woman with sore legs. When she took mescaline once, she looked in the mirror and saw her previous incarnation as a South American Indian.

It has always had a spiritual side. At her school in the North London convent, little Stephanie, a non-Catholic, spent so many hours looking at a statue of the Virgin Mary that teachers contacted her parents and suggested she was ripe for conversion.

She also had her fair share of what might be called paranormal experiences. Once after the operation, she “died” and turned out to be floating over her bed, and was then led to a bright light by four Franciscan monks. She was brought back to life only to be minutes away from a permanent colostomy bag. Fortunately, a friend advised her to visualize a wounded kitten in her stomach that did the job; Stephanie missed the wind and the bag wasn’t needed. fu!

Another time, trying a “personal healing, diagnostic and wellness system” extracted from aliens, she had a vision in which a French doctor was very similar to Hercule Poirot.

On the stage in the Master Class as Maria Callas (“What David Beckham was for football, Maria Callas was for the opera”), the dead diva jumped up next to her and began buzzing in her ear in Greek. Stephanie was so shocked she couldn’t speak for two days.

Unfortunately – or perhaps ghostly – Maria chose her left ear. Stephanie has always been deaf to her right, a flaw she bravely fought to become a prominent stage actress, as well as her television appearances on Tenko, the Colbys and as another position on Ken Barlow’s bed ladder in Corrie. She also appeared on the big screen against Marlon Brando in his worst film. Apparently Brando was enthusiastic about the mouthwash. At Celebrity Big Brother, her snoring was so spectacular that it was sold as a tune on eBay.

Stephanie is a postmodern writer who avoids the conventional, chronological account of her 64 years and leaves it to the reader to gather arbitrarily dotted – and dotted – facts. She went to RADA, married actor John McEnerie, had two daughters, was divorced and existed as a single mother of poached eggs and spinach.

This would be the perfect Christmas present for someone who likes books by cute and old actresses, but who already has the full works of Shirley McLain.
