A truck driver has died after high winds blew his truck off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

Gusts of wind up to 40mph are believed to have knocked the white tractor-trailer out of its lane and through the steel railing on the bridge. A Navy helicopter crew happened to be in the area and plucked the man from the waves, but he died on the way to the hospital.

Now those who have piloted the stealth aircraft used in the mission describe what it's like to fly such a sortie. It turns out that the grueling mission entails one continuous flight that spans 32 hours and 5,700 miles for the two men inside the cockpit of a B-2

They've gone and done it again, with a mid-February release for a sequel that far from being 50 shades darker than the original, is even more pale and at times downright limp, writes Brian Viner. All things considered, if it weren't for the S&M; scenes, it would be an exceedingly dull film. With them, it is both dull and silly, which is worse.

A Minnesota State Trooper's first day on the job took a dramatic twist when he became embroiled in a 100mph car chase that ended with him having to free the fleeing driver from his quickly burning car. Probationary Trooper Taylor Carter and Trooper Scott Smith (both pictured top-left) pulled over the driver for speeding on the I-94 on May 23 last year in what seemed like a routine stop. But a curious accident set the man's car roaring down the highway, spiraling into what might have been a deadly crash, had the brave officers not risked their own lives to save him. While reaching under his dash for his license, the man - whose car smelled like alcohol, the officers said - knocked his vehicle into drive. It then shot off, leading to a 100mph chase that ended when he rolled off the road and his car burst into flames.

I guess he prefers being the big spoon! A heartwarming photograph has gone viral after a newly adopted pit bull named Russ cuddled with Kayla Filoon as she did her homework on the couch.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway refused to comment on the Nordstrom saga that has potentially crossed the line from a conflict of interest to a violation of federal ethics rules. Conway said she met with President Donald Trump on Thursday to discuss disciplinary action and that he supports her '100 percent'. Conway raised ethical ethical concerns when she urged people to purchase Ivanka Trump's products after Nordstrom pulled the plug on her product line.

Six weeks ago, Ivanka Trump was bullied sitting with her husband and their children aboard a JetBlue flight departing from JFK airport. It's hard to imagine more snivelling, sickening and cowardly behavior towards a young mother as she sat quietly with her small children. Yet it perfectly typified the vile liberal assaults on Ivanka from the moment her father decided to run for president. And now the bullying continues - this time by Nordstrom.

Under Armour's CEO is once again coming under fire from two of his company's top celebrity endorsers for saying that President Donald Trump was good for American business. Hollywood movie star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (left) and world class ballet dancer Misty Copeland (right) have joined fellow Under Armour pitchman Steph Curry (right inset) in distancing themselves from CEO Kevin Plank (left inset). Plank caused a stir on Tuesday when he told CNBC that Trump was a 'real asset' for US companies. Both Copeland and Johnson released statements on their Instagram accounts in which they disavowed Plank's comments and stressed their belief in 'diversity and inclusion.'

Chelsea Clinton's husband Marc Mezvinsky (left and right) enjoyed an afternoon at a bar with a friend, just days after it was revealed he closed his hedge fund last year. He was spotted at Shorty's Bar and Restaurant with an unidentified male on Thursday. Mezvinsky spent an hour at the cheese steak bar after he and his friend arrived around 3pm. He has kept a relatively low profile since he quietly shut down his hedge fund, Eaglevale Partners, back in December after his mother-in-law, Hillary Clinton, lost the election to president Donald Trump. Bloomberg reported that Mezvinsky and his partners are now working to return what money is left in their fund to investors, including Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd C. Blankfein. But now Mezvinsky and his wife are both without full-time jobs.

Jessa Dillow Crisp (right), who is now 29 and lives in Denver, Colorado, has bravely recounted how she overcame a childhood of being gang raped, sexually abused by family members and sex trafficked. Her abuse started aged 10 in her home country of Canada where she was sexually attacked by members of her own family.

And after breaking free from the terrifying world of sex trafficking, Ms Dillow Crisp enjoys hiking Colorado's mountains with her husband John (top and bottom left).

Thanks to changing attitudes to child bereavement, as well as the CuddleCot - which contains an electric cooling system attached to a mat to keep the body temperature low - mothers are taking their babies home to care for them in the days before their funerals. Often concealed in bassinets to give the appearance of a living baby sleeping, CuddleCots enable parents to spend time with their child before their final parting. The baby can be held, dressed and taken for walks like a living child. The widespread use of the device came to light when 21-year-old Charlotte Szakacs and her husband Attila, 28, from York, told how they had used the equipment to care for their daughter Evelyn for two weeks after she died due to a chromosome disorder a month after birth (right, when she was gravely ill). And nursery nurse Lynsey Bell and her husband Mark spent 15 days saying goodbye to their son Rory (left).

Queen guitarist Brian May collected the nineteenth century French 3D prints of an imaginary satanic underworld - and you can buy them at auction if you've got $600 to spare. The stereocard photographs, named 'diableries' (French for Devilments), depict skeletons at war, a boudoir run by Madame Satan and even skeleton boat races. The images made in a special way so that they could be viewed in 3-D with a device called a stereoscope.

From an unfinished fire temple to the resting place of secret society members, pyramid mausoleums were once a popular place to be buried in the US. Freemasons like Fred Adolphus Dorn (inset top right) and George W.P. Hunt (inset bottom left) had pyramids built to honor their loved ones. Dorn's wife Cora (inset top right) was buried in a 25ft Masonic pyramid in California and Hunt and his wife were buried in a 20 ft white-tile pyramid (bottom left) on a hilltop in Arizona. Charles D. Poston (inset bottom right) converted to Zoroastrianism and attempted to build a fire temple (bottom right), which later became his resting place.
