prisoners' escape foiled by folly 00:30

It was less than a Great Escape. Two New Zealand prisoners who were handcuffed together as they fled a courthouse foiled their own getaway when they ran to opposite sides of a light pole, slammed into each other and fell to the ground. Jailers nabbed them as they struggled to their feet. Their escapade on Wednesday was captured by a CCTV camera at Hastings District Court on New Zealand's North Island. The footage shows the two men trying to make a break for it - but apparently forgetting they were joined at the wrist. Hastings police Senior Sgt Dave Greig said one inmate, Regan Reti, 20, had just been sent to prison for more than two years after being convicted of assault. The other inmate, Tiranara White, 21, was in custody for allegedly stealing a car and violating parole. "As they were being led from the Hastings police cells ... they made a bolt for freedom," Greig told The Associated Press on Thursday. "They fell over and they were sprayed with pepper spray. But they got up and ran out of the court onto the street, across the road to a car park," he said. "That's where they met the pole - it was all over, rover." The pair were back in court on Thursday, facing fresh charges of escaping from custody. Police said Reti, who pleaded guilty to the charge, had a month added to his prison term. White did not enter a plea. He will remain in police custody while a psychiatric evaluation is carried out. Grainy footage of the escapade shown on TV One News was billed as "one of the worst escape attempts ever seen".

  • Vor 5300 Jahren geht ein Mann in die Alpen. Es ist seine letzte Wanderung, er kommt nie an seinem Ziel an. 1991 wird seine mumifizierte Leiche von Bergsteigern an einem Gletscher gefunden. Der Mann aus dem Eis, Ötzi genannt, wird zur Sensation - und für den Film zum Ausgangspunkt einer Reise in die Anfänge der Zeit. Denn der Körper des Toten und alle Gegenstände, die er bei sich trug, geben Aufschluss nicht nur über ihn - sie beinhalten Botschaften aus vielen vergangenen Epochen. Das Kupfer in Ötzis Beil, der Feuerstein in seinen Pfeilspitzen, woher kommen sie? Mit Hilfe modernster Methoden bestimmen Wissenschaftler die Zeit und Herkunft dieser Dinge, sie führen uns Hunderte Millionen von Jahren zurück, zur Entstehung unseres Planeten, unseres Universums. Eine Reise zurück zum Anfang unserer Zeit: dem Urknall.

  • http://www.davidafterdentist.com This is a video of my then 7 year old son David in May 2008I had my Flip video camera with me. His mom wasnt able to go becasue of work. I taped some of the morning before the surgery to show her and was already planning to tape afterwards. He had just had a tooth removed due to Hyperdontia or extra tooth. This was taken in the parking lot of the dentist office. He was so out of it. The staff was even laughing. This lasted for a few hours and he was fine. He even laughed at the video that night. He is very smart and always has something interesting to say about many different issues. His philosophical reaction to the medication didnt really suprise us. David is a very good kid and I am blessed to have he and his brother William as sons. This has been a great experience for our family. Thanks for watching.
