Charla Nash Reveals Her Face To Oprah

Charla Nash was mauled by a 200 pound chimpanzee in February. She appeared on “Oprah”  to reveal her face and share details on her life since the attack. Nash lost both her hands in the attack, as well as her nose, an eyelid, and lips, doctors removed her eyes due to an infection. Nash told Oprah that she feels no pain but that she tries not to touch her face so as to avoid knowing the full extent of her injuries.

Charla’s family has filed a notice November 4th, with the state’s Office of Claims Commissioner in Connecticut asking for permission to sue the state for $150 million, saying officials failed to prevent the attack. Nash’s family earlier filed a $50 million lawsuit against Herold, saying she was negligent and reckless for lacking the ability to control “a wild animal with violent propensities.” The chimp which was shot and killed by police, had also escaped in 2003 from his owner’s car and led police on a chase for hours in downtown Stamford. No one was injured.

Man Killed By Obama and Biden’s Secret Service Vehicles

secretservicemotorcadeTwo armored U.S. Secret Service vehicles, including a limousine sometimes used by Vice President Biden, struck and killed a man. The two vehicles, each driven by a Secret Service employee, had just arrived by military plane at Andrews Air Force Base and were being taken to a storage facility in the District. They were not carrying any “protectees.” The pedestrian was struck by the limousine and a Chevrolet Suburban at 2:27 a.m. at Naylor Road, just over the District line in Prince George’s County. He was crossing the parkway at an intersection controlled by traffic lights. It was unclear how fast the vehicles were moving or whether the man was crossing the road legally. The drivers stayed on the scene and rendered first aid until police and rescue officials arrived. The pedestrian, an adult male, was transported to Prince George’s Hospital Center in Cheverly with multiple critical injuries. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Because of their heavy armor, the limousine and Suburban are trickier to handle than ordinary vehicles. Both vehicles were used by Biden the day before during a visit to Fort Lewis, Wash.
