Lady Gaga Wipes Out

The fire broke out at around 0300 local time (2000GMT Thursday), soon after the ferry had left Merak port on Java island, heading for Sumatra.

Some 427 people were brought to safety and it is thought no-one is still on board.

Some of the survivors jumped off the ship wearing lifejackets.

The bodies of the dead and injured have been taken to a nearby hospital, transport ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan told Associated Press news agency.

Indonesian television showed firefighters on a boat near the ferry trying to extinguish the blaze with water cannons.

A vehicle on the ferry was believed to be the cause of the fire.

One lorry driver, Musaka, told Agence France-Presse: "It was very scary when the fire started as it was still very dark. A passenger bus on the vehicle area caught fire first and my truck also burned.

"I was able to save myself as I could grab a lifejacket. I quickly jumped off to the sea."

Ferries are a main source of transportation given Indonesia's thousands of islands, and accidents are common due to overcrowding and poor safety standards.

(AP)  BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Witnesses say they saw a woman throw herself from the 23rd story of a Buenos Aires hotel Monday and survive.

The woman landed in a sitting position on the roof of a taxi whose driver got out just before the impact deeply dented his roof and shattered the windshield.

The woman, a 30-year-old Argentine, has injuries throughout her body and is being treated in the emergency room of the Hotel Argerich, said Alberto Crescenti, director of Argentina's Emergency Medical System.

The taxi driver, who gave his name as Miguel, reportedly said he saw a policeman looking up and that prompted him to get out just before the driver's side of the car was smashed by the woman's body.

Another taxi driver, Juan Carlos Candame, told Associated Press Television News that he saw the woman climb over a barrier and jump into the void.

The woman fell from the top of the Hotel Crown Plaza Panamericano, where a restaurant overlooks the landmark Obelisk in downtown Buenos Aires.

TWO women stripped down to their underwear and jumped into the River Plym to rescue a late night fisherman.
Hayley Merrick and friend Lisa Highfield both aged 20, plunged into the water at Laira Bridge to help the man, after he got into difficulty at around 11.10pm on Sunday.
Miss Merrick said she was in the area with a group of friends when she spotted the man, in his 50s, fishing.
“Splash was the next thing I heard,” she said.
“He was face down in the water and he wasn’t moving at all.”
A split second later both women were throwing off their clothes and running for the water.
“Lisa came running down saying ‘where has he gone?’,” said Miss Merrick, a care assistant.
“As soon as she saw him she stripped down and I said she couldn’t go in on her own.
“The water was really warm but I don’t know if that was just the adrenaline.”
The heroic women helped the fisherman to a ledge where they waited for around 30 minutes for the emergency services.
“It was quite deep where he first fell in but we stood with him on rocks and seaweed,” said Miss Merrick.
“The tide was coming in as well, it could have been a lot worse.”
Fire crews from Plymstock and Greenbank, as well as police and an ambulance were called to the scene at Prince Rock.
“When we got there the man was almost crouching in the water, it was knee deep,” said Plymstock fire station Watch Commander Steve Hill.
“Two women had stripped to their underwear and were in the water looking after him. It was an unusual sight.”
The crews used a triple extension ladder and dry suits to rescue the fisherman, who was in his 50s, from the river. Nobody was injured in the incident. .
“The two women did a great job to go in there,” said Watch Commander Hill. “They could have stood on the side but they got in and helped him out. It was quite a heroic action.”

A ROWING coach helped police rescue a woman who was swimming naked in the Thames in Henley.

Will Morgan, 24, used his Henley Rowing Club launch to take an officer on to the water to join the search.

Police were called to Marsh Lock at 4.35pm on Saturday, July 10 — during Henley Festival — after being told the woman was in danger from heavy river traffic.

A couple who were near the lock in Wargrave Road also volunteered to help the search.

Mr Morgan, from Caversham, said: “Together with my father, I had been coaching the junior girls and had just got back to the club when the police arrived and asked for help.


“First we checked around the River and Rowing Museum but then the officer got a call saying the woman had been seen at Marsh Lock. We made our way there but by the time we arrived she was out of the water.”

Pc Andrew Kelly, from London Valley police station, said: “We had to be resourceful to deal with this incident as it happened at a busy time.”

He said colleagues in Henley and from other agencies were dealing with a light aircraft crash at Peppard, which also meant the force helicopter was unavailable.

Pc Kelly said two officers finally located the woman at 5.15pm. She was confused and sunburnt and it was thought that she had been in the water for several hours.

She was taken to Loddon Valley police station where it was discovered she was a missing person from Bath who suffers from mental health problems.

Pc Kelly said: “Thanks to the officers and members of the public she is safe. We really are grateful to the people who helped us — without their valuable assistance I am not sure the situation would have had the same conclusion.”
