These are most trained astronauts ever...and they keeping losing stuff

In Montreal today, a violent hostage situation erupted at Dawson College. It is asmall school with a student body of 10,000 or so. Four people are believed injured and a shooter has killed himself. There exists a possibility of more shooters. There may have been 1-2 more shooters. Though CNN can't give a lot of details, CBC said there was a man in a trench coat and mohawk storming into the cafeteria. But there was also mention of a shooter wearing fatigues and long hair. Other suspects may indeed be among the fleeing students. So this is definitely a developing story.

The Astronauts. They waited. A long time. But that apparently does not mean they won't lose shit. This is not a new thing for astronauts.

To begin, with it took three astronauts to unscrew a bolt on the International Space Station. This answered the age old question: How many astronauts does it take to screw in a bolt?

In Dolton, Illinois, there is a present hostage situation at a bank. A man attempted to rob the bank and holds two employees in the vault.

El Niño has formed in Pacific Ocean and, according to NOAA, will last well into 2007. This may account for the quieter Atlantic hurricane season. It will likely mean milder Winter temperatures for Western and Central Canada as well as Western and Northern US. Florida and the gulf will probably be wetter and Ohio, drier.

Anna Nicole Smith lost her son, Daniel WayneSmith on September 10th, in the Bahamas. He had come there to visit with his mother after giving birth to a baby girl on September 7th. A formal inquiry has been scheduled for October 23. The events surrounded his death are suspicious and the least amount of details have been revealed to keep the investigation running. Regardless of how anyone feels about 1993 playmate of the year, her loss is heavy and devastating. She should be celebrating the new addition to her family. And this little girl will never know her brother.
