Unbelievable news stories

A quick list of news stories in the past few weeks that still make me go, "What? Really?" after hearing them:


1. Malaysia Flight 370
Along with the rest of the world, I continue to be baffled that in today's technology age, there is still no accurate tracking of this flight or any of its passengers.

2. Crimea voting to leave Ukraine and join Russia 
This one shocks me because it happened so quickly. "Oh, we're going to be part of another country now, k thx!"

3. A recent Lake Shore Drive car chase / standoff for a murderer
When one man shuts down one of the biggest access points in Chicago after an hours-long car chase with police over a recent murder

4. A woman leaving an alligator at Chicago O'Hare
This was a few weeks back, but how did a woman casually bring an alligator on public transportation and leave it at the airport? 

5. Edward Snowden speaking at SXSW
How can someone who had to flee the United States perfectly fine video-conferencing with one of the largest US festivals?
