At least six people died and three were injured when 150 homes belonging to tea estate workers were submerged at about 7:30 a.m. today, Pradeep Kodippili, deputy director at the island’s Disaster Management Center, said by phone. The tragedy occurred in the central Badulla district, about 220 kilometers (137 miles) from the capital Colombo. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/10/29/police-say-ny-man-beheads-woman-before-jumping-in-front-train/?cmpid=edpick&google_editors_picks=true A man beheaded a woman in her Long Island, N.Y., apartment late Tuesday and then dragged the body and head out onto a street, where onlookers initially thought they were witnessing a macabre Halloween prank, police and witnesses said.

The Antares rocket exploded in a massive fireball just after its 6:22 p.m. EDT launch on Tuesday evening (Oct. 28) from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia. The rocket was carrying an unmanned Cygnus spacecraft — also built by Orbital — that was packed with about 2.5 tons of supplies for astronauts on the International Space Station.
