5 Marines confirmed killed in crash of CH-53E Super Stallion
After an extensive search for an overdue Marine Corps Super Stallion flying from Creech AFB, Nevada to MCAS Miramar, California, the wreckage was located yesterday.

Toby Keith dies of stomach cancer
Sad news in the entertainment world yesterday. Country music superstar Toby Keith has died at the age of 62 after suffering the past couple years with stomach cancer.
