A mansion in Alaska collapsed into the Mendenhall River due to severe flooding caused by the release of millions of gallons of water from a glacier-dammed lake called Suicide Basin.
The house was swept away after the land around it eroded rapidly for about six hours. The flooding was unexpected, with weather experts predicting just a one percent chance of it happening, and it caused destruction to at least two homes, with many more evacuated. A fundraiser has been launched to support a family whose home was also affected by the flooding. Video: @twowildhearts |

DETROIT (AP) ? A man survived after plunging 150 feet (45.7 meters) into the Detroit River from a bridge connecting Michigan and Canada. The man, identified as a contractor who was working on the Ambassador Bridge, was rescued Wednesday by a crew aboard a Detroit mail delivery boat. ?The force of the impact had ripped most of his clothes off of him,? Sam Buchanan, captain of the J.W. Westcott, told Fox 2 Detroit. ?His work boots were still on him and his pants were around his ankles and he had his T-shirt on. Buchanan said the man was ferried to shore where Detroit paramedics took over. ?We were relieved that he could talk to us, but he was pretty out of it,? Buchanan said. ?He kept asking us what happened to him and we told him that he fell off the bridge.?Detroit Fire Chief James Harris said people who were fishing saw the man in the water and alerted the J.W. Westcott. The man?s name was not released. ?He?s very fortunate,? Harris said. Posted by CZ |
