Clintonville Booming Noise Heard At Night


 March 19th there was a mysterious booming noise in Clintonville,Wisconsin. Jordan Pfeiler thought it sounded like fireworks exploding underwater. 
A series of loud bangs and booms woke up folks on the northeast side of this Waupaca County community shortly before 2 a.m. Monday and continued off and on until at least 8 p.m. The rattling, shaking, vibrations and noises induced people to pick up their phones and dial 911 as Clintonville's police dispatch center lighted up with more than 150 calls. Shari Pfeiler had been hearing noises for about several weeks."Then around 3:30 a.m. all hell broke loose. The booms were coming one right after another," said Shari Pfeiler as she sat on her front stoop next to her daughter Jordan. "The cats were freaking out."

Drunk Amish Buggy Driving

In New York City four young Amish adults were charged with illegal possession of alcohol after their buggy collided with a police car that was on its way to the drinking party. The Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office reported that the crash occurred around  7:15 p.m. Sunday in the rural town of Sherman, near the Pennsylvania border in New York's southwest corner. The officials that were responding to the reports said that there were many people drinking in several Amish buggies on a country road. As a police car was arriving to the scene, one of the Amish buggies changed lanes and collided with the police car. The buggy flipped onto its side, causing minor injuries to one of the people on board. Police say many other buggies had fled the scene.

Snowmobiler Stuck in an Avalanche

VIDEO LINK-----> http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/utah-avalanche-mans-friends-rescue-15856230






Tyson Black and his friends were out snowmobiling in the mountains of Utah. His friend Bronson Butler was filming them with his smartphone when all of a sudden Black barreled down the mountain, one hand on his snowmobile and the other hand trying to create an air pocket around his face to protect him from what he knew would be his fate, a landing deep beneath the snow. Black was quickly lost in the lens of Butler's phone. After 20 minutes of being stuck under 10 feet of snow and Tyson's friends searching frantically, one of them his Tyson's helmet with his shovel. It took an extra 20 minutes for the group of friends to pull him out of the snow completely. Black had lost consciousness while in the snow, he later said, but was alive and alert when his friends pulled him out. His only injury was a hurt knee and he was back at work Monday.

A 30-year-old man from Casa Grande, Arizona had hiked to the top of the mountain with a group of friends, who planned to leap from the top and parachute to the ground. He leaped from Arizona's Superstition Mountains that reaches 600 feet. He is now rescued from a crevasse after becoming stuck when his parachute became caught in the side of the cliff. He had problems with his parachute pack because apparently he had it packed on backwards.
