Another loggerhead turtle has been injured by a boat, but is being cared for and is expected to recover.

A massive loggerhead sea turtle hit by a boat off Florida’s Atlantic coast arrived at a turtle hospital needing medical care, but at 302 pounds (137 kilograms), Pennywise was too large to fit their equipment.So the veterinary team at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach took her to nearby Jupiter Medical Center, hoping she could get a CT scan on a human machine. She was too big for that, as well.They quickly came up with another plan: taking Pennywise to Palm Beach Equine Clinic in Wellington, where the scan was performed on equipment designed for horses. “And, luckily, the horse-sized machine was big enough to fit this lady through,” Heather Barron, the chief science officer and veterinarian at Loggerhead, told The Associated Press. Turns out, they also got a nice surprise: Images showed that Pennywise is carrying eggs.
 
Hell of an explosion in a residential neighborhood, caught on film.


A massive truck explosion was caught on a home security camera in Addison, Illinois over the weekend. In the footage, you can see a box truck traveling down a residential street on Saturday when it suddenly explodes, sending debris everywhere. The Addison Police Department said the incident occurred around 8:40 am and the damage was apparently so severe that they misidentified the vehicle as a flatbed truck. The department later posted an update saying the explosion was investigated by the ATF and DuPage County Bomb Squad, which determined the blast was an accident that was caused by a leaking propane tank. Authorities added the explosion damaged a few homes and the driver only received minor injuries.

The Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone is the one in which a thermal pool blew up last year. Supposedly that was cause by deposits of silica which filled in openings between rocks, trapping heat and pressure below until it was too much and exploded. Due to worries about similar explosions the Biscuit Basin is closed to tourists this year.
