Impressive: In 5-days, US government repairs a major road destroyed by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake (Photo)

On Friday, November 30th 2018, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake ripped apart this road in Anchorage, Alaska, and created a huge hole that made the unfortunate SUV that fell in look like a toy. However, in less than four days, the road was already fixed. The jagged chucks of broken road are gone, the hole is filled, the road has been repaved and fresh lines have been painted. According to the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, it's harder to pave roads at this time of year because of the cold temperatures, but they were able to do it. The federal government released $5 million in emergency funds a day after the incident to help get the repairs done. (?: Alaska Tour & Travel/Scott Marsteller)

The pastor from Soshanguve, north of Pretoria, South Africa appeared in magistrate's court on Thursday, to face two counts of rape and one of sexual assault.

A now 19-year-old victim said he was 16 years old when the abuse started. He said he had been staying and sleeping at the Hands of God International Ministries for three years to train as a pastor.

He 'anointed' himself with oil all over his body and started kissing me while I was shocked. He then penetrated me." The teen said he was scare...

70 years after she was told her child died in labour, mother and daughter re-unite

For nearly 70 years, an American woman Genevieve Purinton believed the baby she gave birth to in Indiana had died in the hospital. However on Monday, 3rd December, she met that baby girl, now a 69-year-old woman named Connie Moultroup. “Because she was an unmarried mother, she was told that I had died. She continued with her life not knowing I was still alive” Moultroup said. Moultroup, who was adopted and raised in California, decided last year to use a DNA ancestry test to look for her birth mother. The two finally met in Tampa on Monday. “It was just a crying fest,” she said. (?: Connie Moultroup/Bonnie Chase)
