Dramatic time-lapse footage filmed from the International Space Station on Monday and brought courtesy of NASA TV captured the swirling arms and ominous eye of Hurricane Matthew, the Atlantic Ocean's most powerful tropical storm in almost a decade as it spun towards Haiti and Jamaica. The storm covered a significant part of the camera frame - clouds stretched as far as the eye could see. The Category 4 Hurricane made landfall on Haiti's Tiburon Peninsula early on Tuesday with wind speeds of up to 145 miles per hour. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere and endured a devastating earthquake just 7 years ago.
CCTV footage captured the moment a gas explosion ripped through a high-rise flat in the city of Ryazan, about 120 miles southeast of Moscow, in the early hours of Sunday, sending a huge boom through the neighborhood and a massive shower of concrete and debris on to cars parked below. A total of three people died and more than dozens were injured in the incident. The blast caused structural damage to the top floors of the 11-story flat. More than 70 people were placed in a temporary shelter set in a nearby school. An investigation into what caused the explosion is currently underway.
