Bear Rescued from Sierra Bridge Ledge
Rescuers used a huge nylon net to save a bear dangling over the edge of the 80-foot-high bridge, in the Sierra Nevada range near Donner Pass.
An Indonesian couple that were last month reunited with their 14-year-old daughter who went missing in the 2004 earthquake and tsunami disaster that hit the northernmost province of Aceh have in recent days also found their missing son.
After media reports in the country showed pictures of the family and long-lost daughter, a woman recognized a resemblance to a homeless boy, which turned out to be their son Arif Pratama, who was just seven when he was washed out to sea with his sister.
A fisherman rescued the siblings, who were later separated.
