United plane drops tire, smashing cars, as it departs SFO. Jet lands safely at LAX​

A San Diego woman says she paid her entire apartment building's utility bills for 2 years — then her power was shut off.​

Patterson lives in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, yet her monthly utility bill would sometimes come to $400,

It was only when SDG&E turned off the power to Patterson’s unit one night that she discovered why her bill was so high.

Despite consistently paying for the 10-unit building’s utilities, it turns out her unit had a separate account under her ex-boyfriend's name that hadn't been paid in two years. It wasn't until she got on the phone with SDG&E to explain she had been making payments the entire time that the company realized the error.

Liao, also 23, suffered losses from trading cryptocurrency, and he tricked Zhang into signing a legal note obligating him to pay about $800,000, investigators said.

The local media outlet Taiwan News reported that Liao told Zhang that gangsters were pursuing him.

The 23-year-old, identified only by his last name, Zhang, plunged his feet in a bucket of dry ice for more than 10 hours to get them so badly frostbitten that he would need a double amputation, the Taiwan Criminal Investigation Bureau said in a Thursday release.
