Major disaster avoided. An entire plane broke out in applause after a serious scare in the air. Authorities say a co-pilot attacked the pilot, trying to crash the plane before being subdued, leaving a passenger with a bloody face. Now, as Steven Fabian reports, many are asking if it could happen here. And the alleged drugging and gang rape of a Cornell student by seven fraternity members is shining a light on sexual assaults on college campuses. The Cornell incident reportedly happened during what is known as the “red zone,” the start of the fall semester, when the majority of attacks on college campuses occur. As Justin Finch reports, the statistics are shocking. Plus, heart-stopping video shows a surfer getting caught in monster waves and slammed against rocks on the shore. Today, the surfer is beyond thankful to a mom who was taking a relaxing stroll along the beach before her teenage daughter’s birthday party when she jumped into the water fully clothed. And there is a huge development in the story we brought you about a woman who got the shock of her life when she learned her late father’s caretaker took ownership of his house. The caretaker has now been arrested and charged with perjury, breach of trust, and exploitation of a vulnerable adult. The late man’s daughter couldn’t be happier.
