An Upper West Side nanny was found guilty of perpetrating a parent’s worst nightmare; stabbing to death two children in her care in one of the city’s most heinous crimes in recent memory. At trial, prosecutors claimed Yoselyn Ortega, 56, “intentionally” stabbed the children to death at their family’s Upper West Side apartment, perhaps out of anger that she’d been asked to do more housework. Oretega’s defense team argued that the stabbings were “an act of madness” and that the former nanny suffered severe mental illness. Her lawyers claimed “the devil” told her to slaughter the children, while a psychiatrist testified at trial, saying Ortega heard voices telling her to kill others, herself, and then the kids. Jurors didn’t buy the insanity defense of Killer Nanny, instead finding her guilty on all four counts of murder in the grisly butchering of two Upper West Side tots. @Nuntium

Tammie jo Shults, hero pilot of Southwest 1380, kept calm and saved her passengers. Shults successfully landed a plane after an engine exploded during flight, blowing a hole in the side of the aircraft and killing one aboard. Former fighter pilot remained totally calm as she told air traffic control 'We have part of the aircraft missing … There is a hole and, um, someone went out'. The engine on Shults’s plane exploded, spraying shrapnel into the aircraft, causing a window to be blown out and leaving one woman dead and seven other people injured. Passengers pulled the woman who later died back into the plane as she was being sucked out. For the next 40 minutes, Shults displayed what one passenger later called “nerves of steel,” maneuvering the plane, which had been on its way from La Guardia Airport in New York to Dallas Love Field, toward Philadelphia for an emergency landing. @Nuntium
