Bear Photobombs Broadcast
During the KTLA 5 news report on March 15th, 2026, a black bear emerged from an individual’s driveway in Monrovia, California. Ironically, the reporter Erin Myers was updating on an incident between a woman who was attacked by a bear, right as one appeared. Officials had the suspicion that the bear in the broadcast could have been the one in the attack. This type of encounter is not uncommon, as Myers shared in the broadcast, “…second time, I’ve had this happen.” The report continued observing the bear, as it was seen wandering around the location. It looked as if it was heading towards a trap, but ended up avoiding it. A resident in the area shared they had set up the trap because the bear was living under their home with a cub. The bear did not mind the camera crew, and later ended up vanishing from the view of the camera.
Waterfall For Sale
Abiqua Falls is a 92-foot tall waterfall, known for its exquisite view, located by Scotts Mill, Oregon. It was privately owned by a non-profit group, Abbey Foundation of Oregon, while still being open to the public. Around February to March, in 2026, the waterfall itself was listed for sale on Redfin, (a site that offers real estate services) by auction with no limit on the bid. The director of the group, Amanda Staggenburg explained, “…we wanted to ensure that the proper stewardship was overseeing it.” Lawmakers from the state of Oregon, will be purchasing the falls for around $2.1 million, to turn it into public land. The director of the Abbey Foundation of Oregon, explained, “…we wanted to ensure that the proper stewardship was overseeing it.” This action was approved by the Senate Bill 5705. Before the purchase will proceed, inspections of the waterfall and the information on it will be conducted.
A Sticky Situation on the Road
Freeway 10, located by Fontana, California had faced a massive syrup spill all over the road, around 11:20 a.m. on March 16th 2026. The incident had occurred by an overturn from a truck (which officials are unsure of what led to the cause of it), leading to hundreds of gallons of syrup to block all the lanes of the direction. This ended up lasting for nine hours, as traffic was backed up around more than five miles, with cars trying to direct themselves off the freeway. People from the California Department of Transportation struggled to clean the mess as various methods were needed to actually remove the syrup, causing the issue to last longer. This included an absorbing material, which didn’t have any significant impact, so ultimately, a water truck was brought over to hose the mess and vacuum the remains. The lanes were finally reopened around 8 p.m. on the same day.
