Try this one for size. The parents of a five year old boy have been arrested after his body was found submerged in the septic tank of the family's home (trailer) near Dublin, VA.

That the boy was missing for several days and there had been an extensive search for the boy I can only assume that the septic tank had had its cover replaced and covered over. Draw your own conclusions as to what that means about the little boy whose body was found inside!

This could probably happen anywhere, but isn't the first time in the US.

Ramp worker gets locked in baggage hold of an Alaska Airlines plane, plane lands 14 mins later after pilots heard banging from hold.

Worker freed from airliner cargo hold after plane makes emergency landing | Business | The News Tribune


Alaska contracts out the ramp, so the workers are not well trained and usually high turnover.

They use 737's and inside the baggage compartment is a handle to you can open the door from the inside, so I guess the worker didn't wake up while still on the ground? or maybe not trained properly?

Having worked for some of the major contract companies in North America, their training is sub-par if they even train you at all, some just toss you out there and hope for the best.

Now if it were an airbus there is no way out of the bin if locked in.

He would have survived the flight as Alaska's front holds are pressurized and heated.

A dermatologist I visited keeps sending me emails about Mother's Day specials. WTF - who gets botox (for themself or anyone else) for Mother's Day???

Also, why do they think someone who visited them for skin cancer screening wants to hear about all this rubbish?

OK, that must be the ultimate WTF, so we can now close the thread!

With his name, was there ever any doubt that he would be caught sending pictures of his junk to people:

The fact that he is a gay anti-gay GOP politician is just the icing on the cake.

A dishonest politician (yeah, I know the adjective is redundant) with sexual peccadillos. How is that a WTF? Seems par for the course to me.

It was the name that I found WTF. It just lined up so well with what happened, just like A. Wiener. It's pure comedy.

Nine bikers have been killed and 18 hospitalized in a shoot-out between rival gangs at a recruitment event in a suburban Texas restaurant.

What started as a physical fight in the bathroom spilled out into the bar and rapidly escalated to involve chains, clubs, knives and gunfire across Twin Peaks Bar and Grill in a quiet strip of Waco on Sunday afternoon.

Diners, including young children, scrambled and many took shelter in the freezer as hundreds of gang members ran rampage around the booths, according to KXXV.

WTF indeed. .... On a separate note, some parents throught that twin peaks was an appropriate place to take their "young children". (For those who are not familiar with the Twin Peaks breastaurant it is a competitor to Hooters.)
