In N.Y., Climbs of the Times
NEW YORK -- A Manhattan skyscraper that is home to the New York Times became the site of twin daredevil stunts, with two men scaling the 52-story tower within a matter of hours. The first, French skyscraper climber Alain Robert, unfurled a banner as he ascended that read: "Global warming kills more people than a 9/11 every week." He was arrested at the top. Hours later, Renaldo Clarke of Brooklyn climbed the building and was also taken into custody at the top.
Teacher Who Made Threats Quits
JONESBORO, Ga. -- A high school science teacher has resigned after he allegedly threatened to rip out a student's eyeballs and kill a student's family. Travis Heckstall was arrested after an incident inside his Mount Zion High School classroom. The 34-year-old, who also allegedly threw a chair during the incident, resigned on the last day of school. He told police he was threatened and made the statements to try to maintain control of his classroom.
