    • Brothers run at bear to save younger sister

      By Mike Krumboltz | The Sideshow – 11 hrs ago

      A family had a close encounter with a bear while celebrating Father's Day during a camping trip in Wyoming, NBC-2 reports.

      The Kelly family had a relaxing Sunday morning breakfast, but apparently they didn't clean up as well as they initially thought. According to NBC-2, a bit of bacon grease was still on the campground grill, and that was enough to draw the attention of a bear.

      Two staff members of the camp came to warn the Kelly family that a bear was close by, and that's when 11-year-old Baden Kelly sprung into action.

      Baden began screaming in order to get the bear's attention. He was able to distract the bear long enough for most of his family to run into a nearby cabin.

      However, his little sister Moriah, perhaps due to the shock of the situation, didn't run.

      Via NBC-2:

      "I said, 'Run, Moriah,' and she didn't run, so I got to her and I started running with her, and that's when the bear started running after us," Baden said. "By the time it got to about 10 feet behind us, my brother

    • Thar she blows!

      Mexico’s Popocatépetl volcano gave quite a show on Monday. "Popo," as it's called, is located about 40 miles from densely populated Mexico City and is closely monitored for volcanic activity. That means that the explosive spewing was caught on tape.

      The eruption of ash and cinder caused an eruption column more than 2 miles high, and the explosion was felt 25 miles away. Amazingly, all that cinematic drama didn’t ring alarm bells for geologists.

      “The eruption was actually fairly typical for Popo,” Erik Klemetti, volcanologist at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, wrote to Yahoo News in an email.

      When in these periods of activity, the style of eruption causes "occasional explosions that destroy the lava dome in the crater. This is what occurred earlier this week and is common at Popo and volcanoes like it,” he added.

      Although Klemetti noted that this was a pretty big explosion for Popo—lasting about 30 minutes (the video is time-lapsed)—he said the ash hazard is minimal

    • Message in a bottle found decades later. (Fox2 News)

      A scuba diver looking for treasure in the St. Clair River near Detroit stumbled upon a different type of prize at the bottom of the river: a message in a bottle.

      Dave Leander of the Great Lakes Dive Center told Detroit's WJBK that the note had been buried for 97 years until he found it in the silt.

      "I happened to see a piece of paper in there, and I could actually read the writing underwater," Leander told WJBK.

      This was last June. Now, the bottle is heading for a local museum on Harsens Island, Mich., where it (and the note inside) will be on display.

      So, what was on the note? A simple message from two young women who were at the Tashmoo amusement park on Harsens. The message read, "Having a great time at Tashmoo," and was written by Stella Pramstaller and Tillie Esper.

      Eric Schiebold, one of Esper's 32 grandchildren, spoke to WJBK about the note and his memories of his grandmother.

      Via WJBK:

      "Here's something that's 100 years old
