tragedy

In the months following the horrific Schoharie limo crash that took the lives of 20 people, efforts are being made to prevent such a tragedy again.  License plates have recently been stripped off dozens of vehicles, and while nothing can ever 100 percent ensure our passenger safety, this at least appears to be a start.

It's hard to imagine losing one member of our family but can you imagine losing 17 members of your friends and family in one night? Bethany can, she lived it. Thankfully, she came to our Hometown Hello stop on Thursday to share her story.

It's hard for adults to discuss this sort of thing, let alone children.  They don't know how to process this sort of tragedy, so this morning we shared some tips for parents for talking to kids about big news events like this...

Fenway Park was the scene of one of the most tragic and completely freak accidents to happen at a baseball game. 44 year old Tonya Carpenter was sitting near the field between home plate and third base with her son and a friend when the most unlikely of tragedies happened. Tonya Carpenter was struck in the head by a piece of Oakland player Brett Lawrie's bat which had broke, even splintered when h
