Subway attacks in Moscow

Two subway stations in Central Moscow were bombed during rush hour this morning by two female suicide bombers.   According to CNN, Russian investigators believe the Chechen rebels are behind the attacks.  Alexander Bortnikov of the Federal Security Service said that although the Chechen rebels have not taken responsibility, the preliminary findings show that the bombers were from the North Caucasus region.

All together, at least 38 have been killed and 65 wounded.  The first blast was at 7:56 a.m at Lubyanka Subway Station and killed at least 23 people and the second happened about 40 minutes later at Park Kultury Station and killed at least 12 people.

At the time of the attacks there were at least 500,000 people riding the subway and it is still unclear when it will return to normal service.

Plane crash in Oswego County

A single engine plane crashed in Palmero, NY yesterday afternoon.  Two women were in the plane and were both injured during the crash, according to the Post-Standard.  The pilot, Frances Englund, is in serious condition at Upstate University Hospital. Her passenger, Nancy Beck, is in much better condition.

During a distress call to Hancock International Airport before the crash, Englund said the plane had run out of fuel.   A Palmero resident, Roy Dolbear, saw the crash and waited with the women until the ambulances came.  He said Beck was able to move from the plane, but Englund could not move from her seat, although she was able to talk.  Neither women said why they decided to land the plane where they did.

The crash is still under investigation by the Oswego County Sheriff's Department, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Bureau.

Fox revealed on Friday that  their hit show "24" will air it's season finale May 24, ending after eight seasons.  According to Entertainment Weekly, the show's star Kiefer Sutherland said that both he and the show's executive producer Howard Gordon were ready for the show to end.

"24" fans still have something to look forward too, though.  Sutherland also said the season finale will leave room for a "24" movie that is already in the works at 20th Century Fox. The movie will be two hours long, but still repreesnt a 24 hour day.  Sutherland said this will give the cast a chance to travel by planes, trains, and automobiles, because they will not have to worry about traveling in real time.

The idea for the film is to create a definitive end for Sutherland's character, Jack Bauer.
