Mountain Biker's Apple Watch Helped Save His Life After Crash Left Him Paralyzed: 'Nobody Knew Where I Was'

Ryan McConnaughey was biking through a San Diego County mountainside in April when he fell and broke vertebrae in his neck



"If I did not have my Apple Watch, I would not be alive right now," Ryan McConnaughey tells PEOPLE of the accident in April that changed his life.

The 23-year-old Californian was mountain biking in San Diego County when he flew over his handlebars and landed headfirst into the ground.

"I was coming up over this hill, caught some air, and then it just kind of booted me forward over the handlebars," recalls McConnaughey.

"I instantly couldn't move anything from my neck down," he continues. "And I was by myself, literally in the middle of nowhere, so if I were to yell or anything, nobody would find me."

McConnaughey knew he needed to receive urgent medical attention — and that his life would depend on it. The only person who knew his approximate location was his friend, Peter, who had been riding with him earlier that day.

As McConnaughey watched the sun set over the horizon, unable to move his legs or arms to reach the phone in his backpack, he called out to his Apple Watch and asked the voice assistant, Siri, to call Peter. Siri responded and connected him to Peter over speakerphone.

"I didn't know what to expect. It was a life or death situation," he says. "My cell phone was in my backpack, which was on my back, and I could not… There was no way I could have gotten to that. There's no way."

Peter located McConnaughey a short time later, and emergency services arrived not long after. Before their arrival, he also made a call to his girlfriend, Lauren Housh.

"Lauren, I'm so sorry, babe," he said in an emotional voice message. "I fell mountain biking, and I'm by myself, and I'm paralyzed from the neck down… I'm calling you from my Apple Watch because I can't move."

"I love you so much, babe. I just love you more than anything, and I'm not in pain at all. I want you to know that," McConnaughey added.

Housh later shared the voicemail to TikTok, where it's been viewed millions of times.

McConnaughey was airlifted to a local hospital and has since undergone numerous surgeries to relieve pressure on his spine and stabilize his vertebrae.

Four months after the accident, he returned to San Diego and has since regained some movement in his arms. He still cannot move anything below his chest, but remains hopeful that he'll continue to see improvement over the next two years.

Lauren created a donation campaign to raise funds to help in McConnaughey's recovery and has since raised nearly $40,000.

"The support that I've gained is just…" McConnaughey says before pausing. "Many of those donations came from people I've never even met before. I've just never seen this side of people before, so it's nice to be able to get this support from people I don't even know."

To this day, he still thinks about how he owes his survival to the tiny but powerful device that was on his wrist.

"I think about it all the time," he says.

"Nobody knew where I was," he adds. "There's no way I would have survived through the night."

Among the Van Lifers
A makeshift neighborhood grows in Brooklyn


n Williamsburg, on a dead-end waterfront street known as Van Alley, their hulking shapes rest comfortably against the skyline. One van’s dust-streaked windows are adorned with baby-pink-and-yellow leis. Inside another, a glass bong is the pièce de résistance among piles of laundry. Benefiting from the area’s lively bar scene and gyms that “only sometimes” require a membership to use their showers, Van Alley “has a unique sense of community that a lot of other van-life hubs or hot spots haven’t had,” says resident Drew Reister.

Reister has been here for close to a year. Slade Guillory runs a full-service salon from his van, a sleek black number with a spinning barber pole fixed to its side. Rob Walker has lived here off and on since 2019, making him something like Van Alley’s mayor. There are usually five to ten vans in the Alley, which their owners move around to avoid tickets.

The afternoon I meet them, Walker is the only one not wearing a Hawaiian shirt (a coincidence, they all swear), and his beard is speckled with sawdust from the day’s construction at Brooklyn Campervans, which designs and furbishes custom vehicles-cum-homes. Business, he says, is good — they’re booked into 2023.

It’s no easy way to live. Cole Wettersten, now in year four of van life, tells me he got frostbite during his first winter; he smiles distantly as he describes his eyelids freezing shut. Yet they all agree summer is the worst. Reister managed to install an AC unit in the window of his van, but most of the guys just slog through months of sweltering heat.

What, then, has kept them loyal to van life? Well, there’s the luxury of paying no rent at all as prices on the housing market reach ever more ludicrous heights. And they have each other. Van Alley regularly hosts potlucks and movie screenings with residents perched on lawn chairs or lurking in one another’s doorways. Their latest pick for movie night? Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Winnipeg mayoral candidate gets bike stolen 85 minutes after promising to reduce bike theft

A Winnipeg mayoral candidate had his bicycle stolen less than 90 minutes after announcing a cycling-infrastructure plan that included plans to reduce bike theft.

Just before noon on Wednesday, Rick Shone parked his truck at The Wilderness Supply, the Isabel Street retail store he owns, walked inside and briefly spoke to an employee.

When he returned to his truck minutes later, his bicycle had been lifted from the back of the truck.


Mayoral candidate Rick Shone had this bike stolen 85 minutes after he pledged to reduce bike theft.

It was the same bike he took to a 10:30 a.m. news conference near Granite Curling Club, where he promised to spend $250,000 on 500 new bike racks in Winnipeg and pledged to replace the city's bike-registration system with a national theft-deterrent program.

"I feel so stupid," Shone said Wednesday afternoon. "I was inside for two minutes. I got distracted by a question."



Shone is the second mayoral candidate to address bike theft in two days. Shaun Loney made a similar bike-registration pledge on Tuesday, when he also promised to install more bike lockers in public places and change city zoning rules to make lockers mandatory in new developments.

Shone also promised Wednesday to increase the city's annual spending on bike trails, sidewalk improvements and pedestrian trails from approximately $4.3 million this year to a minimum of $9.4 million every year.

More cycling routes would be converted into protected bike lanes under this program, gaps in the cycling network would be filled in and wayfinding signs would be improved to the standard of markers along the Southwest Transitway bike path, he said.

"We spend a lot of money building the trails, but to visitors or even to people like myself who go to different areas of the city, it's often really hard to figure out where you are and where you're going," Shone said alongside the protected bike lane on Granite Way, near Osborne Street.

(We also have elections at the moment and I was reminded of Tuesday's press conference, where the Justice Minister said they had cracked gang violence (as if... ). The accompanying picture saw him coming out of our local police station, the door of which is still bearing the scars done by a baseball bat attack the night before )

Lets see...NASA is 'go' for a second launch attempt of Artemis I today, but encountering fueling issues



The uncrewed Artemis I mission is battling fueling issues as it prepares for a second chance at launching on a historic journey around the moon. Shortly before 5 a.m. ET, mission managers received a weather briefing and decided to proceed with loading propellant into the rocket. The countdown clock resumed at 7:07 a.m. ET. There was at least a 30-minute delay after a liquid hydrogen leak was detected at 7:15 a.m. ET in the quick disconnect cavity that feeds the rocket with hydrogen in the engine section of the core stage. It was a different leak than one that occurred ahead of the scrubbed launch on Monday.

The launch controllers warmed up the line in an attempt to get a tight seal and the flow of liquid hydrogen resumed before a leak reoccurred. They stopped the flow of liquid hydrogen and proceeded to "close the valve used to fill and drain it, then increase pressure on a ground transfer line using helium to try to reseal it," according to NASA. That troubleshooting plan was not successful. The team attempted the first plan again to warm up the line, but the leak reoccurred after they manually restarted the flow of liquid hydrogen. The launch window opens at 2:17 p.m. ET and closes at 4:17 p.m. ET on Saturday. NASA's live coverage began at 5:45 a.m. ET on its website and TV channel.
This process has put the team behind schedule, but it's unclear how much of a delay it will cause in the countdown because they may be able to make up some time later.

Meanwhile, the core stage liquid oxygen tank is full and will be replenished as some of it boils off. Both propellants need to be filled within certain proportions to one another before launch. Liquid hydrogen is currently at 9% full. There is a 60% chance of favorable weather conditions for the launch, with chances increasing to 80% favorable toward the end of the window, according to weather officer Melody Lovin. The Artemis I stack, which includes the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, sits on Launchpad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The Artemis I mission is just the beginning of a program that will aim to return humans to the moon and eventually land crewed missions on Mars.
If the mission launches on Saturday, it will go on a journey around the moon and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on October 11. There is still a backup opportunity for the Artemis I mission to launch on September 5 as well.

In the last few days, the launch team has taken time to address issues, like hydrogen leaks, that cropped up ahead of Monday's planned launch before it was scrubbed. The team has also completed a risk assessment of an engine conditioning issue and a foam crack that also cropped up, according to NASA officials.
Both are considered to be acceptable risks heading into the launch countdown, according to Mike Sarafin, Artemis mission manager.
On Monday, a sensor on one of the rocket's four RS-25 engines, identified as engine #3, reflected that the engine could not reach the proper temperature range required for the engine to start at liftoff.

The engines need to be thermally conditioned before super-cold propellant flows through them before liftoff. To prevent the engines from experiencing any temperature shocks, launch controllers gradually increase the pressure of the core stage liquid hydrogen tank in the hours before launch to send a small amount of liquid hydrogen to the engines. This is known as a "bleed." The team has since determined it was a bad sensor providing the reading -- they plan to ignore the faulty sensor moving forward, according to John Blevins, Space Launch Systems chief engineer. The bleed, originally expected to occur around 8 a.m. ET, is currently on hold.

Suspected trespasser in Florida woman's yard was a massive iguana



A Florida woman who feared someone was repeatedly trespassing in her back yard said she was surprised to finally catch the culprit on camera -- an unusually large iguana.

Sheri Sotheby said she had heard strange noises in her Marco Island back yard on multiple occasions and thought someone might be trespassing repeatedly on her property.

"I've always been cautious because I constantly hear something out there," Sotheby told WBBH-TV. "I just had never caught it on camera."

Sotheby said her suspicions turned to the animal kingdom when she found droppings in her yard.

"I wondered if someone's pet was in the yard, so that's when I checked the camera," she said.

The homeowner said she was shocked to see the animal behind the constant noises.

"It was a large iguana," Sotheby said.

Ella Guedouar, a graduate student at Florida Gulf Coast University, confirmed the animal recorded by Sotheby appears to be a particularly large green iguana.

Iguanas are an invasive species in Florida and were introduced via the exotic pet trade.

Alfredo Fermin, a trapper contracted to remove iguanas on Marco Island, said the population of the reptiles has been booming in recent years. He said he does not expect the population on the island to ever be fully eradicated.

"If you remove five, 10 more are just going to show up," Fermin told the Marco Eagle in 2021.

What May Be the Largest Dinosaur Skeleton Ever Found in Europe Gets Discovered in Man's Backyard in Portugal



Sometimes the surprise of a lifetime can be waiting in your own backyard!

The property owner, who lives in Pombal, Portugal, first stumbled upon "several fragments of fossilized bones" in 2017 while doing construction in his yard, according to a recent press release from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.

And earlier this month, Portuguese and Spanish paleontologists uncovered pieces of what they believe could be the "largest sauropod dinosaur" — which the university described as "herbivorous, quadrupedal dinosaurs, with long neck and tails — to ever be found in Europe.

Researchers believe the remains could correspond to a dinosaur that was 39 feet (12 meters) tall and 82 feet (25 meters) long.



This is not a typical discovery, according to Dr. Elisabete Malafaia, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lisbon.

"It is not usual to find all the ribs of an animal like this, let alone in this position, maintaining their original anatomical position," Malafaia said in the university's release.



Researchers from the university have been working with the Evolutionary Biology Group at UNED-Madrid and the Faculty of Fine Arts at Complutense University of Madrid as they work to unearth the precious remains.

Experts believe they have uncovered vertebrae and rib bones "of a possible brachiosaurid sauropod dinosaur," which they said lived approximately 160 to 100 million years ago.

And there could be more of the dinosaur's skeletal remains in the area, too.

"The research in the Monte Agudo paleontological locality confirms that the region of Pombal has an important fossil record of Late Jurassic vertebrates," Malafaia said.

An international research team is now assessing the remains that have been unearthed, according to the press release.

Kitten rescued from drain in Florida after strong storms
Aug. 31, 2022 / 4:32 PM*



Aug. 31 (UPI) -- A Florida firefighter rescuedf a kitten that became trapped in a storm drain while apparently trying to seek shelter from a storm.

St. Petersburg Fire-Rescue said in a Facebook post that probationary firefighter Ethan McElroy climbed into the storm drain to rescue the "adorable" kitten.

Lt. Garth Swingle, fire-rescue's public information officer, said the kitten was reported by a bystander, who heard the animal crying in distress.

"Little kitten noises are a pretty unique sound," Swingle told the Miami Herald. "You'll hear it, all right."

Swingle said the kitten likely became trapped in the storm drain while seeking shelter from storms earlier in the day.

"Once they get down there, they can't get back out," Swingle said. "It's like a pit."

The Facebook post said the kitten was adopted by the witness who made the call to fire-rescue.

Hilarious Scarecrow Competition Attracts Thousands to Village



Thousands of people flocked to a little English village to see homeowners decorate their properties with comical creations as part of an annual scarecrow competition.

Resident have been turning heads with their weird and wacky scarecrows placed outside their homes in Brinklow, Warwickshire.

More than 80 incredible displays have been erected throughout the picturesque village, including non-fictional creations like Prime Minster Boris Johnson relaxing on a deckchair, and fictional ones like ET and Elliot talking off from a front garden in a bicycle.

Elsewhere, Spiderman can be seen dangling from one family’s tree while a giant pairs of legs stick out of another.

The Minions, Mr. Bean, Edward Scissorhands, Shrek, The Queen and the characters from the Wizard of Oz make up some of the other funny displays.

This edition of the Brinklow Scarecrow Festival was special and well anticipated, as it was returning for the first time in three years following the COVID-19 pandemic.





“It’s just a good bit of fun and after the last couple of years we’ve had that’s what we can all do with,” said 66-year-old resident Peter Cox.

“Everybody goes all out to create these wonderful scarecrows, a lot of time and effort goes into it and if I’m honest, people get a bit competitive too.”

“But it’s all part of the fun and its lovely to see so many people come from all over to see them in our little village.”

Visitors were also treated to flybys from a Royal Air Force Hurricane fighter jet and by a rare Lancaster bomber, as well as live bands and children’s rides.

Woman claims she found a poo stain on clothing ordered online: ‘There is the evidence’



Ordering clothes online is always a risk, but one woman was horrified when an ASOS order came with a suspicious and smelly stain on a “new” pair of shorts.

Journalist Suzanne Baum was horrified when her son’s ASOS order arrived, immediately noticing it had a brown-colored stain on the rear of the item. In an Instagram post, she claimed it “looked and smelled like poo” and left them both “retching.”

“Dear @asos as a hugely loyal customer for years I have always encouraged my older kids to use your website & spend their money wisely!” she wrote, saying her 21-year-old son opened the order for shorts and immediately smelled feces.

“There is the evidence on his order!” she wrote. “Utterly gobsmacked/retching/in shock! You have no customer service anymore & the virtual online robot is useless — hence the fact I’ve had to try & reach out to someone on here!”

Followers were just as horrified by the discovery, with hundreds of comments flooding the page expressing their disgust.

“This is vile,” one user declared, while another described it as “so wrong on so many levels!”

“I am not at all surprised,” wrote another. “Everything about ASOS is now dreadful.”

“That’s disgusting. They have just lost a customer in me as well as a pair of shoes have only lasted one wear and no response from them!” another agreed.

A spokesperson for ASOS told the Mirror: “We apologize unreservedly for the experience Ms. Baum and her son had when shopping with ASOS.

“It’s clear this item fell far short of the standard we would expect to deliver. We’re investigating the issue with our warehouse team as a matter of urgency and have issued a full refund alongside an ASOS voucher as a gesture of goodwill.”

Man splashes cash on huge billboard advert for psychic in Manchester with no contact information... because genuine mediums 'know where to apply'

A desperate bloke in need of a clairvoyant has splashed out on a giant billboard ad in Manchester - but included NO contact information, claiming a genuine medium will 'know where to apply'.

The mystery man contacted signage company Mandoemedia and forked out an unspecified amount for the advert to go live near a busy commuter route on August 18. It reads 'psychic wanted - you know where to apply' - as they claimed a real medium 'would know exactly when, where, and how to contact them'.

Puzzled passersby on Fairfield Street have been left scratching their heads at the cryptic ad and why their services are needed. Steve Baxter, from Mandoemedia.com, said "We were contacted by an individual to place this advert seeking a psychic.


The mystery man forked out an unspecified amount for the advert to go live near a busy commuter route

"Initially we thought it was a joke but the individual explained they were deeply serious and wanted to find a genuine psychic. They felt the best way to do that would be to put out a 'psychic wanted advert with no contact information because a good psychic would know exactly when, where, and how to contact them.


The billboard on Fairfield Street

"It wasn’t made clear exactly why they were in need of a psychic, maybe they had been swindled by a fake psychic in the past or perhaps they want clarity on their future, we don’t know. But we are seriously invested in this experiment and it would be incredible if it actually works."

(The psychic shouldn't even need to see the billboard to know he wants to see a psychic. He’s wasted his money )

It would appear as though there were multiple ball games taking place at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on Monday evening — one of them between the Blue Jays and the Chicago Cubs, the other between two riled-up fans in the nosebleed section.

Dimitri Karakostas was one of several game attendees who can, not by choice, confirm that Chicago wasn't alone in getting f*cked at the stadium last night.

"Uh, I filmed a couple having sex at the Blue Jays game today in the 500s," he told blogTO when sending over some shocking (and frankly hilarious) exclusive video footage on Tuesday.

In the clips, we see what looks like a woman in a white dress straddling a man at the very back of the stadium, right where the dome splits apart and spreads wide open on sunny days.

While it's hard to know for certain, witnesses seem pretty confident that the couple got past third base.



In an uncensored version of the clip above, viewers can clearly see what appear to be a scrotum, bouncing around like balls in the outfield during an intense batting practice.

A second, longer clip sent to blogTO shows a yellow-vested police officer and a security guard marching up the concrete steps toward where the x-rated action (I'm sorry, alleged x-rated action) is happening.

The boisterous Jays fans just keeps going at it, seemingly unaware that their cover had been blown and that authorities were coming.

Yet another clip from the incident, shot from farther afield, is circulating today in which the woman and man are seen standing next to a cop and some guards, cleaning themselves up as they presumably prepare to be escorted out.

The Toronto Police Service told blogTO on Tuesday that it had no information related to the incident in question. This would suggest that no charges have been laid against anyone for getting laid. The Toronto Blue Jays have yet to respond to a request for comment.

Karakostas had some deets though, telling blogTO that "the cop said the guy flew in to meet this girl" and "that this was their first meeting."

This in mind, one might assume that the SkyDome wasn't the only piece of protective equipment being used during last night's game.

Jokes and questions abound on social media as footage spreads of the amorous baseball fans being kicked out of the Rogers Centre.

"Three strokes and you're out," wrote one Twitter user in response to the 6ixbuzz clip. "They must have thought that if the Jays weren't going to score, they should at least try themselves," joked another.

The amorous duo is said to have been escorted out of the game, but police say no charges were laid.

he Blue Jays wound up coming back from what was almost looking another loss on Monday night, turning the table on the Chicago Cubs to win 5-4.

It is of note that the Jays were wearing their alternate jerseys in racy red. Could this be why fans were banging in the stands? Or did the team glean power from the actions of this couple to help them finish strong?

Chicken and egg, pollo y huevo... emphasis on the huevo.

It remains to be seen if the Rogers Centre will put any extra security measures in place tonight as a result of the apparent sex act, but it wouldn't be much of a surprise. Oakland put additional guards in the nosebleeds at its stadium just over a week ago when a different woman (I think?) was caught on camera giving new meaning to the term "double-header."

Special delivery: Box of live reptiles delivered to wrong New York address


New York's Port Chester Police Department said officers responded to a home where a box of live reptiles was delivered to the wrong address.

Police in New York responded to a home on a report of an unusual situation: a box of live reptiles was delivered to the wrong address.

The Port Chester Police Department said in a Facebook post that the resident was "quite startled" to open the box that arrived at their home and discover it was filled with live reptiles, including "lizards and iguanas."

"After catching all the animals we secured them until a local animal sanctuary can pick them up for safekeeping," the department said.
The post asked anyone who was expecting a box of reptiles that didn't arrive to contact police.

Highland Games: Girl, five, runs 400m after crossing finish line



https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-nottinghamshire-62767035

Edie, from Nottingham, was taking part in a 10m (32ft) sprint for children at the 150th Highland Games in Oban, Scotland, where her family were on holiday.

But she ended up running 400m (1,312 ft) instead.

Her mum Dawn said: "Edie kept asking if she could do a race but didn't want to do the children's one.

"She assumed she was doing the whole lap that she'd seen athletes doing.

"I was just like 'Where is she going?'"

Edie, who her family have nicknamed Speedy Edie, said: "I've never had such a big round of applause before. I loved it."
