Bible Saves Bus Driver’s Life

By Heather Clark

WagonerDAYTON, Ohio – The Bible is being credited for saving the life of an Ohio bus driver who was shot in the chest on Monday by a trio of teenage attackers.

Rickey Wagoner, 49, was driving the city bus as usual on Monday when he began to experience electrical problems with the vehicle.

At approximately 5:20 a.m., he pulled the vehicle to the side of the road, and was soon approached by three teenage boys.

According to reports, three gunshots were fired at Wagoner. Two were aimed at his chest, and a third struck his leg. Wagoner attempted to wrestle the pistol from one of the teens after being shot in the chest, but the gun went off during the altercation. A second teen then stabbed him in the arm with a knife while a third kicked and punched him.

WHIO-TV reports that one of the teens allegedly instructed the other that he must ”kill the polar bear” in order to be “all the way in the club.”

After being stabbed in the arm, Wagoner pulled out an aluminum pen that he carried for self defense and jabbed the teen attacker in the leg. The three boys then began to run away, and the teen …read more

Titanic Timeline — 100 years ago

Titanic
Titanic, 1912
  • April 10, 1912 From 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., passengers board the ship. Then at noon, the Titanic leaves the dock at Southampton, England for its maiden voyage. First stop is in Cherbourg, France, where the Titanic arrives at 6:30 p.m. and leaves at 8:10 p.m, heading to Queenstown, Ireland (now known as Cobh).
  • April 11, 1912 At 1:30 p.m., the Titanic leaves Queenstown and heads across the Atlantic for New York.
  • April 12-13, 1912 The Titanic continues on her journey as passengers enjoy life on the luxurious ship.
  • April 14, 1912 (9:20 p.m.) Captain Smith retires to his room.
  • April 14, 1912 (9:40 p.m.) The last of several warnings about icebergs is received in the wireless room. This warning never makes it to the bridge.

    • Left to Right: William McMaster Murdoch, Charles A. Bartlett, Henry Tingle Wilde and Captain Edward John Smith
    Left to Right: William McMaster Murdoch, Charles A. Bartlett, Henry Tingle Wilde and Captain Edward John Smith (see notes below)

    *First Officer Lieutenant William Murdoch, died with the Titanic.
    *Captain Charles A. Bartlet oversaw the outfitting of the Titanic’s for it’s maiden voyage, including the selection of her officers. He was not abord the Titanic when it sank.
    *Chief Officer Henry Tingle Wilde, died with the Titanic.
    *Captain Edward John Smith. This was likely his last command before retirement. He died with the Titanic.

  • April 14, 1912 (11:40 p.m.) The lookouts spot an iceberg directly in the path of the Titanic. First Officer Murdoch orders a hard starboard (left) turn, but the Titanic’s right side still scrapes the iceberg. Only 37 seconds passed between the sighting of the iceberg and hitting it. Historians do not agree on the exact maneuver ordered by Murdoch, nor the nature and extent of the collision with the berg.
  • April 15, 1912 (12:05 a.m.) Captain Smith orders the crew to prepare the lifeboats and get the passengers and crew up on deck. No “abandon ship” order is given in order to avoid panic and greater loss of life. The number of lifeboats are insufficient for the number of passengers and crew. Many passengers were apparently unaware of the seriousness of their position until all lifeboats had departed.
  • April 15, 1912 (12:45 a.m.) The first lifeboat is lowered into the freezing water.
  • April 15, 1912 (2:18 a.m.) The Titanic snaps in half. This point was vigorously disputed by historians until the Ballard’s 1985 expedition located the wreck at the bottom of the Atlantic, and obtained photographic evidence that the boat had broken into two pieces.
  • April 15, 1912 (2:20 a.m.) The Titanic sinks.
  • April 15, 1912 (4:10 a.m.) The Carpathia picks up the first of the survivors.
  • April 15, 1912 (8:30 a.m.) The Carpathia picks up survivors from the last lifeboat.
  • April 17, 1912 The Mackay-Bennett is the first of several ships to travel to the area where the Titanic sank to search for bodies.
  • April 18, 1912 The Carpathia arrives in New York with 705 survivors
