Five people had to ski through a heavy Alaska snowstorm to a mountain chalet after abandoning their airplanes on a glacier on North America's tallest peak, where they were stranded for the weekend, officials said Monday. The five landed Friday in three separate small airplanes -- a Cessna 180 and two Piper PA18s -- on Ruth Glacier on Denali, said Maureen Gualtieri, a spokesperson for Denali National Park and Preserve. A fast-moving storm prevented them from flying off the glacier, and they spent Friday night in their airplanes at about 1,372 metres. They woke up Saturday and realized they didn't have enough resources to ride out the storm. "That's when they called for help," Gualtieri said. Two guides who work at the Sheldon Chalet about 3 1/2 miles (5 1/2 kilometres) away were temporarily hired by the National Park Service to serve as a search and rescue team, guiding those who were stranded back to the chalet.

The fire broke out just after 12:30 Am at the All County Recycling yard, Firefighters arrived on the scene to the whole yard nearly on fire with multiple explosions from the yard as 3 trucks went up in flames. The wind as well as water supply made it difficult for Firefighters to fight the fire. Firefighters brought the blaze under control sometime around 6 Am, there were no reported injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.  

PHOTO: A prayer bench used by the Rev. Mychal Judge, a Fire Department chaplain killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, was driven to the New York area on Sunday to join the collection of the Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum, museum officials said. The bench formerly belonged to Judge's twin sister, Dympnia Jessich, and spent the last five years at an Episcopal monastery in Rising Sun, Maryland, according to Sister Teresa Irene, a Carmelite nun there. Its path to the Sept. 11 museum has been circuitous. Judge, a Fransiscan who was praying in the lobby of the trade center's north tower when he was crushed by debris from the falling south tower, used to visit Jessich at her home in Berlin, Maryland, Sister Teresa Irene said. The prayer bench was kept in a bedroom Judge used, and its leather is worn from the imprint of his knees, she said. "It's worn where his knees would have been," the nun said. "It's his life of prayer."  

VIDEO: Firefighters continue their search for a cause for Friday evening's fire on La Crosse's Northside. Crews used half a million gallons of water to put the fire out. Last Friday La Crosse fire crews fought an industrial fire at Alter Metal Recycling in the La Crosse Industrial Park on the Northside. The thick black smoke shot in the air came from, what La Crosse Fire Department officials confirm, were 100 cars burning in a scrapyard. The smoke was seen clear as day on News 8 Now's City Cam. The combination of the wind and scrap material meant this situation had the potential to become very dangerous. La Crosse Fire officials tell News 8 Now, investigators are working to find the cause. An official with the Wisconsin DNR says they are aware of the situation and will monitor it moving forward as needed.  

PHOTO: The Sioux City Fire Department is now flying a "Donate Life" flag at one of its stations. Iowa Donor Network donation services coordinator John Jorgensen says it's hoped the flag will inspire more people to become organ donors. "This is the first one that we are aware of that's ever happened at a fire station. It's just a tremendous thing to do as we advocate together with Sioux City Fire to actually encourage people to say ‘yes' and to donate life," Jorgensen says. Paramedic Liz Ford helped get the flag for Station 4. Her husband died in an accident and was an organ donor. "I lost Ray five years ago and he was a tissue and eye donor. So, blessed it be, there are people walking around who benefited from his generosity — and I couldn't be happier," Ford says. Ford says having a conversation about becoming an organ donor is important.
