Parent shocked by disgusting elemantary school bathroom.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WPMT) -- Jennifer Snavely attended her 5th grade daughter's parent-teacher conference at Rowland Elementary School on April 13. She says she was shocked when she went to use the restroom.

In front of the doorway, an exit sign hung from one of its hinges on the ceiling. Next to it, a ceiling tile was missing. Inside the restroom, as she would later write on her Facebook page, "it looks like a crime scene." Graffiti lines the room walls and the stall doors, including curse words and racial and ethnic slurs.

"I go in there and it's just disgusting. I was overwhelmed with how a bathroom looked for a 5th grader," Snavely said.

Snavely said the bathroom stall doors did not close, and her daughter later told her students have to hold the door shut for each other. She tried using the boys bathroom, but couldn't, she said, because of its foul odor.

She posted the photos on her Facebook page, and brought the bathroom's condition up to school board members at Monday's weekly school board meeting.

"To go in that environment, that's not fair for them," Snavely said.

FOX43 reached out to the Harrisburg School District. Spokesperson Kirsten Keys said the school board and administration were "very recently" made aware. According to school board President Danielle Robinson, via Keys, "plans are underway to address and resolve this matter."

The school district declined any interview requests.

Keys said the issue was addressed "in depth" at Monday's school board meeting. However, meeting minutes for the April 17 meeting were not available on the school board's website. The last posted minutes were from March 13.

FOX43 emailed all members of the Harrisburg School Board on Tuesday morning at 9:45 a.m. As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, none had responded.

Snavely does not know how long the bathrooms have looked in their current state. However, she does not believe school board members who told her they just recently learned of its condition.

"I don't understand how they just learned about it when they're in that school every single day," she said.

School board members, in fact, are not in Rowland, or any other school each day, as their positions are volunteer and all have separate full-time jobs. However, according to Harrisburg Mayor Eric Papenfuse, each school has principals, building managers, and facility managers.

"It shouldn't take a parent posting photos on social media for the school district to be made aware," Papenfuse said.

FOX43 was able to show the pictures to the Mayor. While not involved with the school district, he urged angry citizens to become socially active, and learn more about the school board candidates in the upcoming, May 16 primary election.

Papenfuse called the images inside Rowland unacceptable.

"It can't happen and it needs to be fixed immediately," Papenfuse said. "How can you expect children to learn if their environment is treated with such disrespect?"

Like rival LeBron James, Stephen Curry is making sure he is focused on the task at hand by eliminating distractions.

Zero Dark 30 activated.

The Golden State Warriors superstar recently told Chris Haynes of ESPN that he deleted all of the social media apps from his phone before the playoffs began. The reason behind it, of course, is he wants to devote all of his attention toward winning another championship.

"When you're really trying to zone in and keep your focus, you don't want to have any unnecessary distractions during this point of the season," Curry said, per Haynes. "We have goals to accomplish, and you want to make sure you're giving your all."

James has made " Zero Dark Thirty-23" his own special postseason tradition. While the Warriors sharp-shooter's approach is essentially the same as the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar's, Curry-who has apparently done this the past two years as well-explained that he isn't following in anyone's footsteps.

"I didn't do it because he did it. I'm not reinventing the wheel," Curry said. "It's just a way to help me keep my focus on what's important."

There's nothing ground-breaking about staying off your phone, especially when it's crunch time. Basketball should be the main focus right now because all that matters is hoisting that Larry O'Brien Trophy.

For the reigning two-time MVP, he's found something that works. And he has no plans on changing things up.

"It's worked for me so far," Curry explained to Haynes. "I'm going to stay with it."

Make all the 3-1 jokes you want, but Curry has helped his team reach the Finals in each of the past two seasons. Not to mention the fact that James has made it to six consecutive Finals. If ditching social media for a couple months is the key to being one of the last two teams standing, more players may want to take note.

pilot is getting mad

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While I've remained silent until now, as a pilot I feel compelled to offer my two cents. I should note I work for a competing airline, so I'm not going to comment on how United Airlines handled the matter, but rather discuss the role of airport security and how crew and gate agents respond to situations such as this one.

I should also emphasize that the nationwide attention to this incident -- which perhaps could have been handled differently by all involved -- came because of the actions of Chicago airport security, which determined physical force was a necessary means to an end. They, not the pilot or the crew, dragged Dao off the plane against his will.

Aviation Department spokeswoman Karen Pride said that "the incident on United flight 3411 was not in accordance with our standard operating procedure," and that the officer has since been placed on leave pending further review.

For those of us at the pointy end of the airplane, there is no more important task than to ensure the safety of our passengers. But gate agents are responsible for ensuring the proper boarding of passengers. Good flight crews will coordinate with agents, especially in abnormal circumstances, such as inclement weather. As a pilot, I don't usually get involved with the boarding process, except to offer a welcome aboard greeting.

Although all the details have not yet emerged, I am willing to bet that the United Express pilots were only aware of theissue because the flight was being delayed to rectify the problem. And until the terrible scene unfolded, the crew had no reason to get involved. Certainly, once the violence began, it would not have been prudent for any member of the crew to intervene.

The good doctor's resistance could have been interpreted as noncompliance with a crew member, which is a federal matter, but that would have been a stretch. If the noncompliance card were played, though, then it would have been a simple matter of threatening Dao with his arrest.

All that said, the gate agent was presented with a challenging situation. According to the accounts I've read, the agent followed both airline policy guidelines and Department of Transportation rules. Passengers were first offered voluntary removal incentives until, I suspect, the agent's authorized limit was reached and involuntary removal became necessary.

When involuntary removal procedures are required, specific protocols are followed. And United Express is not the only airline that has such protocols. As an example, passengers with the latest check-in time or passengers without connections are often put at the top of the removal list.

But this whole nightmare occurred because a deadheading crew was needed for a flight departing from Louisville, Kentucky, the destination of Flight 3411. "Deadheading" means carrying an airline's staff, free of charge, on a normal passenger trip. Airlines don't have crews standing by at every airport, usually only at major hubs. In that regard, if the crew wasn't properly repositioned, then a lot more passengers stood to be inconvenienced.

OK, so why wasn't the deadheading crew requirement solved before the boarding process began? Before we hang the agent again, consider it might have been possible that operational personnel didn't present the deadhead scenario until it became a last-minute decision. Perhaps a mechanical issue had occurred or the original crew misconnectedbecause of issues on their assigned flight.

On the same subject, berating the crew members who finally boarded on United Express was just wrong. They were simply doing their jobs. It was not their decisionto deadhead. Pilots and flight attendants have Federal Aviation Administration rest and duty requirements. Because of distance and time logistics, crews cannot always rely on ground transportation to get them to their next destination. They simply must fly.

Could the whole situation have been handled differently? Absolutely. Most of the time accommodation issues are solved before the boarding process begins, and if not then, at least before a passenger must be physically removed from the airplane.

Enacting legislation to prevent airlines from overbooking flights is not going to solve the problem. It will end up costing consumers more in the long run. Empty seats cost the airlines money, and they need to recoup those losses somehow.

Trust me, I would be appalled if one of my passengers was abused in such a reckless manner. But let's put the blame squarely where it belongs: on the Chicago airport security officers.

Let's hope that after the visibility of this incident, all airlines will revisit their policies. Perhaps customer service will return as an industry priority. That being said, please have a little empathy for your gate agents; they're performing a stressful job -- and for peanuts.

"He was a little guy, so when I heard his father yelling 'Help', and saw him hanging out the window with the baby in his arms, I just went into action. I just did what any of the other firefighters out here would have done," Sutton told Fox 5's Portia Bruner Wednesday.

"I just said 'Drop him.' He did and I am blessed to have been in a position to catch the baby," said Sutton, who grew up not far from the apartment complex. "It was my first time in a situation like that," said Sutton.

Plumber Larry Carter recorded the rescue on his cell phone. Carter and other contractors were doing renovations on the building next door when the fire erupted. He stopped to record the fire as the smoke started billowing from the windows.

Capt. Tom Burrell was visibly moved as he watch the video of the rescue with Bruner.

"I just hope that this helps people understood the hard work and training that goes into being a firefighter," Burrell said as he stood in front of the burned building Wednesday. "There's not really one thing that prepares you for what Firefighter Sutton and his colleagues encountered yesterday. It's good training. It's years of experience and having a good sense of situational awareness. I'm just really proud," he added.

4/20 is called weed day.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
April 20, or 4/20, is known as "Weed Day" in some circles because the date corresponds with a numerical code for marijuana.

Yes, it seems arbitrary. So how did the number 420 come to represent smoking pot?

First, let's get the myths and rumors out of the way:

The legend of the California penal code

Some claim the number is drawn from the California criminal codes used to punish the use or distribution of marijuana. But the state's 420 code actually applies to obstructing entry on public land. So, not quite.

But the rumor sounds a lot like ...

The legend of the police radio code

Neither LAPD nor NYPD even have a code 420. San Francisco Police have one, but it's for a "juvenile disturbance."

So never mind that theory.

The legend of the Dylan song

This one is a nod to Bob Dylan's song, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" and its lyric, "Everybody must get stoned."

Multiply 12 by 35 and you get 420.

Seems a bit of a stretch. And Dylan himself has never confirmed any link.

The story that appears to hold the most water is ...

The legend of the Waldos

According to Chris Conrad, curator of the Oaksterdam Cannabis Museum in Oakland, California, 420 started as a secret code among high schoolers in the early 1970s.

A group of friends at San Rafael High School in Marin County, California, who called themselves "the Waldos," would often meet at 4:20 p.m. to get high.

For them, it was an ideal time: They were out of school but their parents still weren't home, giving them a window of unsupervised freedom. They met at that time every day near a statue of Louis Pasteur, the scientist who pioneered pasteurization.

The 4:20 time became a code for them to use in front of their unsuspecting parents, and 420 gradually spread from there -- possibly via Grateful Dead followers -- across California and beyond. It's even the number of a California Senate bill that established the state's medial marijuana program.

What was shorthand for a group of friends can now be seen on T-shirts, in Tinder bios (420 friendly) and throughout pop culture.

And of course, on the calendar every April.

Python hitches a ride on the train to Sydney

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ah, Australia.

Though many people who travel by train experience daily nuisances, this one takes the cake.

According to Australia's ABC News, a passenger noticed they were sharing a car with a python.

Though the snake probably could not have eaten the travelers, it was still fairly alarming.

According to a spokesperson for NSW TrainLink, "customers were moved from the carriage which was then locked off and arrangements were made for a snake handler to meet the train on arrival at Central Station."

The snake was successfully removed from the car, and is now safely in the hands of the person who captured it.

Sydney Morning Herald reports that no one is quite sure how the python ended up on the train.

Canada's "Iceberg Alley" is living up to its name this spring, and tourists are flocking to the town of Ferryland to see the behemoth that has grounded just off shore.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
(CNN) - Canada's "Iceberg Alley" is living up to its name this spring, and tourists are flocking to the town of Ferryland to see the behemoth that has grounded just off shore.

The iceberg towers over the picturesque town, which is about an hour south of St. John's on the east coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Canadian Ice Service classified it as "large," which means it has a height of 151-240 feet and is between 401 and 670 feet long.

Kaelam Power went mountain biking along the coast on Tuesday and paused to take pictures of the iceberg.

"It's quite powerful to see," he said. "You hear the waves crashing against the water line. From time to time, you may hear a cracking or banging sound.

Photographer Jody Martin braved the crowds on Easter Sunday to see the iceberg.

"It was a beautiful day and a lot of happy faces," she said. "Everyone seems to enjoy the beauty of the huge iceberg."

Martin plans to go back soon to try to get some night images.

Iceberg season runs from spring through late summer. A combination of currents bring Arctic ice southward along the Newfoundland coast, which is how it earned the "Iceberg Alley" nickname.

CNN Meteorologist Brandon Miller said it's rare to have an iceberg this large so close to the shore.

The iceberg looked even bigger last week, when Paddy Wadden went to check it out.

He's lived in St. John's his entire life and said the icebergs "are amazing to see in person."

It's already been a particularly busy iceberg season.

The International Ice Patrol said 648 icebergs have been seen in the trans-Atlantic shipping lanes as of this week. That's compared to an average 212 icebergs during that period in a typical year.

If you see the iceberg, or get other interesting weather photos or videos, post them on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #CNNWeather, but be safe.

North Korean state media has warned Washington of a "super-mighty pre-emptive strike" which would "reduce the US to ashes." It comes after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Washington is looking to pressure Pyongyang over its nuclear program.

"In the case of our super-mighty preemptive strike being launched, it will completely and immediately wipe out not only US imperialists' invasion forces in South Korea and its surrounding areas, but the US mainland and reduce them to ashes," Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North's ruling Workers' Party, wrote on Thursday, as quoted by Reuters.

It comes just one day after Tillerson, as part of President Donald Trump's hardline stance against North Korea, said the US is exploring ways to put pressure on Pyongyang.

"We're reviewing all the status of North Korea, both in terms of state sponsorship of terrorism as well as the other ways in which we can bring pressure on the regime in Pyongyang to re-engage with us, but re-engage with us on a different footing than past talks have been held," he told reporters on Wednesday.

Tillerson wasn't the only Trump-appointed US official making remarks about North Korea on Wednesday.

Speaking from the 'USS Ronald Reagan' in Japan, Vice President Mike Pence vowed an "overwhelming and effective" response to any potential attacks from Pyongyang, stressing that the "sword stands ready."

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis simultaneously denounced Pyongyang's latest missile launch attempt during his Middle East tour, telling reporters in Saudi Arabia that "the leader of North Korea again recklessly tried to provoke something by launching a missile."

Meanwhile, South Korea's acting president, Hwang Kyo-ahn, called for his country's military and security ministries to remain vigilant on Thursday.

South Korea's Defense Ministry also confirmed on Thursday that the US and South Korean Air Forces are conducting an annual training exercise - codenamed Max Thunder - until April 28.

"We are conducting a practical and more intensive exercise than ever," South Korean pilot Colonel Lee Bum-chul told reporters. "Through this exercise, I am sure we can deter war and remove our enemy's intention to provoke us."

The Thursday threat by North Korean state media come after Pyongyang performed a music show to mark the birth of former leader Kim Il-sung, which included a video that appeared to show North Korea striking the US with a devastating missile launch.

North Korea tried and failed to launch a ballistic missile last Saturday, with the weapon reportedly blowing up almost immediately after launch.
