Una mujer de 80 años falleció en África durante una excursión de safari, esto después de que un elefante se abalanzara sobre el vehículo hasta volcarlo.

La mujer, que aún no ha sido identificada, estaba en un safari el sábado en Zambia en el Parque Nacional de Kafue, cuando en un momento de la excursión, un elefante atacó la camioneta al embestir de frente, lo que quedó capturado en un dramático video.

El elefante volcó el vehículo y al hacerlo se pueden escuchar los gritos de pánico del guía turístico, así como de los pasajeros, incluyendo la mujer que presumiblemente falleció.

El terremoto más poderoso en Taiwán en un cuarto de siglo no logró perturbar a una presentadora de televisión, que siguió adelante mientras el estudio se movía violentamente.

SET News estaba en directo poco antes de las 8 de la mañana del miércoles, cuando se produjo el sismo de 7,4 grados de magnitud. La emisora se encuentra en la capital de Taiwán, Taipei, y mientras la mayoría de la gente iba a buscar refugio, dondequiera que estuviesen, la presentadora no parecía estar intimidada en absoluto.

En el video se pueden ver trozos del techo cayendo al suelo, la cámara inestable y las luces balanceándose como si estuvieran al aire libre en un día ventoso. La reportera parecía algo inestable, pero mantuvo la compostura mientras se aferraba al monitor de TV.

The most powerful earthquake in Taiwan in a quarter century did not upend a national newscast, as the anchor plowed ahead as the studio was violently shaking.

The video is crazy ... SET News was on the set live just before 8 AM Wednesday when the 7.4 magnitude quake struck. The station is in Taiwan's capital, Taipei, as most people scrambled for safety ... wherever that might be. Not so with the anchor, who did not seem daunted at all as the earth moved.

You see pieces of the ceiling crashing to the ground, the camera unsteady and the lights swaying as if they were outside on a windy day. The reporter seemed unsteady on her feet but kept it together as she clung to the TV monitor.

Taiwán se convirtió en un infierno la mañana del miércoles, cuando un fuerte terremoto sacudió a la isla frente a China, provocando la muerte de al menos 9 personas e hiriendo a más de 900, mientras dejaba a decenas de personas atrapadas.

Las autoridades locales informaron que el temblor fue de 7,4 grados en la escala de Richter, lo que lo convierte en el más potente en 25 años en el país, con casi 24 millones de habitantes. Los temblores también se sintieron en la capital, Taipéi.

Pero el condado de Hualien, situado en la costa este de la isla, pareció ser el más afectado por el sismo, afectando incluso la infraestructura de la ciudad.

Taiwan turned into hell on Earth Wednesday morning as a massive earthquake rocked the island off China, killing at least 9 people and injuring over 900 more, while leaving dozens trapped.

Local Taiwanese officials said the tremors registered 7.4 on the Richter scale, making it the most powerful quake to hit the island in 25 years with its nearly 24 million residents. The shocks were also felt in the capital of Taipei.

But Hualien County – located on the island's east coast -- appeared to be hardest hit by the quake, decimating the county's infrastructure.

Donald Trump can keep his cherished properties instead of having them seized by New York's Attorney General -- at least for now – after he posted a whopping $175 million bond!

As you know ... the former prez was saddled with a $454 million bond in his civil fraud case brought by AG Letitia James, but he appealed and got the amount slashed to $175 mil.

On Tuesday, DT took to his Truth Social platform to gloat right after paying the lesser, but still staggering bond amount. He also blasted James and the case judge, calling them corrupt and the whole situation election interference. No shocker there.

The journalist who called LSU women's basketball players "dirty debutantes" in a column last week has just issued an apology ... admitting, "I have failed miserably in my choice of words."

Ben Bolch wrote the controversial piece for the Los Angeles Times last Friday ... and it was almost immediately met with backlash. Critics slammed the way he compared the UCLA women's basketball team to "milk and cookies," while calling the Tigers' players "Louisiana hot sauce" -- insisting it was both racist and misogynistic.

In fact, LSU coach Kim Mulkey and her star player, Hailey Van Lith, were so offended by the article, they both used portions of their meetings with media members over the weekend to rail against Bolch.

The reporter clearly heard the criticism ... because on Monday afternoon, he issued a lengthy mea culpa.

In his statement -- which he posted to his X page -- Bolch acknowledged his words were "not appropriate" and were "deeply offensive."

"It was not my intent to be hurtful," he said, adding his employer did not require him to write the note, "but I now understand that I terribly missed the mark."

He concluded his message by writing, "I am deeply sorry."

For the L.A. Times' part, they swapped out portions of Bolch's original article ... writing in an editor's note, "The original version of this commentary did not meet Times editorial standards. It has been edited to remove language that was inappropriate and offensive."

An airplane was struck by lightning mid-air this weekend up in Northern California -- and while it looks dramatic ... it sounds like the aircraft was able to make a safe landing.

This video was posted by a local X user who was filming a thunderstorm in San Jose, aiming his camera at the sky from his car while rain was coming down. Mid-shot, you can see a plane cruising the sky -- fairly high up too -- and suddenly ... it gets hit by a bolt.

It wasn't a small one either ... this lightning streak was massive, and it tore right through the plane without missing a beat. The plane didn't stop either, of course, and kept on going.

Ramy Youssef se puso político en su monólogo de apertura en "Saturday Night Live", pidiéndole a Dios que libere a Palestina, así como a los rehenes israelíes.

El cómico abordó el conflicto el sábado, contando una anécdota con dos amigos suyos que le pidieron que incluyera sus luchas en sus oraciones.

El rey Charles III puede estar enfermo, pero tuvo una gran aparición pública el domingo, asistiendo a los servicios de Pascua en el Castillo de Windsor.

Carlos y Camilla llegaron a la Capilla de San Jorge, donde fueron recibidos con  una gran fanfarria. El clero se reunió con ellos fuera y Charles saludó a los espectadores.

Hubo diferencias este año debido al tratamiento médico de Charles -está recibiendo quimioterapia para el cáncer- lo que compromete su sistema inmunológico, por lo que él y Camilla estaban sentados aparte del resto de la realeza. Tampoco asistió a la recepción posterior a la ceremonia.

King Charles III may be ill, but he bounced back for a big public appearance Sunday ... attending Easter services at Windsor Castle.

KC and Camilla rolled up to St. George's Chapel and there was fanfare waiting for them. The clergy met them outside as Charles waved to onlookers.

There were differences this year because of Charles' medical treatment ... he's undergoing chemo for cancer, which compromises his immune system, so he and Camilla were seated apart from the rest of the royals. He also skipped the reception after the service.

The amenities on Air Force One are so damn good, journalists apparently can't keep their filthy paws off of them, and are even taking some home ... so says a new report.

According to Politico, an inventory was taken by the Air Force after a multi-day trip with the press out to the West Coast last month -- and several items were missing.

The outlet claims it was enough of a problem that the White House Travel Office was alerted ... prompting the WH Correspondents' Association prez to send an email reprimanding her peers. Among the items that were taken ... pillowcases, glasses, and gold-rimmed dinnerware.

Emily Willis is slowly -- and her family hopes, surely -- on the road to recovery after a cardiac arrest last month left her unconscious and hospitalized in critical condition.

The 25-year-old adult film star's father, Michael, tells TMZ ... while she remains in a vegetative state, there have been notable improvements -- mainly, she's now awake and able to track things with her eyes, smile, and even become emotional during conversations.

Sadly, Michael says doctors aren't anticipating further improvement beyond what she's already achieved.

Emily Willis se está recuperando después de un paro cardíaco que el mes pasado que la dejó inconsciente y hospitalizada en estado crítico.

El padre de la estrella de cine para adultos de 25 años de edad -Michael- le dice a TMZ que ha habido mejoras notables mientras permanece en estado vegetativo. Ahora está despierta y es capaz de seguir las cosas con los ojos, sonreír, e incluso emocionarse durante las conversaciones.

Lamentablemente, Michael dice que los médicos no están anticipando una mejora más allá de lo que ya ha logrado.

La afligida familia de Riley Strain ha ordenado una segunda autopsia privada después de que la primera no encontrara nada sospechoso. Han surgido nuevos detalles sobre su muerte.

El joven de 22 años no tenía sus botas de vaquero, pantalones o cartera cuando fue sacado del río Cumberland dos semanas después de desaparecer del bar de Luke Bryan en Nashville el 8 de marzo.

Pero Chris Dingman, un amigo de la familia que sirve como su portavoz, le dijo a NewsNation que Riley llevaba todos esos elementos la noche que desapareció, lo que les lleva a creer que su muerte fue más que accidental.
