A yacht and its crew were reported missing Friday while on its route from the Caribbean to the United Kingdom. The 40 foot boat started taking on water and in the process lost contact with outside resources. Officials believe the crew fled on lifeboats but the four men have yet to be found. Both the United States Coast Guard and the Air Force have been helping on this so far over 4,000 mile search radius but nothing has come up yet. Thoughts and prayers go out to the members on the Cheeki Rafiki and hopefully everyone returns safely.

Mono Mono Twins
An Ohio family is excited to welcome their brand new twins into the world this past week. This rare birth was monoamniotic "mono mono" in which the babies share the placenta and amniotic sac. It only happens in around 1 out of 10,000 births and will be one to remember for Doctor Justin Lavin. The twin girls were holding hands during birth. Before delivering baby Jenna and baby Jillian, both under 5 pounds, the family had to spend lots of time at the hospital. These rare twins can suffer from umbilical complications and therefore had to stay under close supervision. Now the family is excited to bring back two younger sisters for their 15 month old boy.

Hair Act Ruins Circus
After a few entertaining rounds of acts at a Rhode Island circus, one went wrong. An apparatus in which people hang from their hair didn't work causing 11 people to be taken to the hospital. The audience of around 3,900 people believed it was a part of the act until others started screaming and they realized it wasn't. The "Hair-Hang" has been done numerous times and has never been a problem in the past, but now it's a process of figuring out where it went wrong and what the circus group can do to prevent it from happening in the future.
