The Tyrol region has now seen two deaths caused by cows in three years.
The Tyrol region has now seen two deaths caused by cows in three years.
"One or several cows" charged, a police source told the Austria Press Agency (APA), and killed the hiker, a local. Her companion was unharmed.
The incident recalls the 2014 death of a 45-year-old German holidaymaker, gored by a cow in another Tyrolean valley while walking in a group that included children. The woman's husband and son sought €360,000 (£310,000) compensation from the cow's owner in a civil case that has not yet been decided.

The woman, known only as Neeraj, was washing herself on the banks of a river in the National Chambal Sanctuary when the beast attacked her.
Her terrified family raised an alarm but the crocodile had vanished into the water with her body within minutes.
Officers and divers are now trying to recover the girl's body, the Times of India reported.
The family said the girl was taking a dip as part of a ritual on the spiritual day of Ekadashi, when Hindus abstain from certain food during daylight hours.
It is claimed the crocodile may have attacked her because it is their nesting season when females are more aggressive.
'Crocodiles lay eggs in this season,' Anil Patel, a local forest officer, told the Times of India.

There's the sound of lightning cracking, followed by a blue fireball traveling behind some trees.
The video may depict an electrical event known as an "arc flash." GE Industrial Solutions describes this:
An arc flash event can expel large amounts of deadly energy. The arc causes an ionization of the air, and arc flash temperatures can reach as high as 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is hotter than the surface of the sun.This sort of traveling fireball is rarely caught on camera, but a similar incident happened in Montreal during a 2013 windstorm. LiveScience traced the cause of the dramatic Montreal event to an arc flash.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or substantial damage from the quake and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no tsunami was expected to result.
According to the USGS, the temblor rattled the Big Island at 7:01 a.m. local time (1601 GMT) at a depth of 8 kilometers (4.9 miles).
A crowd gathers around the stricken vehicle which lay front first into the ground as its alarm whirls in the background.
Around 20 seconds into the clip the car falls further into the ground and nearly tilts at a 90 degree angle, facing into the dark core of the planet.

Kangpokpi earth crack spreads to 5 Kms
While the earth fissure at Kalikhola area has widened today one house near the PMGSY road collapsed this morning while more paddy fields and huge trees have caved in and more land have slid down.
Two huge water bodies have been formed near Kalikhola village today while one electric post was also badly damaged.
The origin of the earth fissure is below J Songtun village and it slid down towards Kalikhola village developing larger fissure in the areas and has expanded to a radius of 5 Km approximately now.
The PMGSY road connecting IT road and Kalapahar via Makuli has also slid down about 300 metres from the original site.
All water pipelines have been badly damaged.
Comment: A science professor claims that the phenomenon is an effect of massive landslide triggered by heavy rainfall in the deforested hill slopes which are laden with thick soil cover.

Several inches of snow could also hit higher parts of Idaho, western Montana, western Wyoming, northeast Utah, and northern Colorado into Tuesday, according to the Weather Channel.
With temperatures running 10 to 20 degrees colder than average at times, snow levels are forecast to fall to between 5,000 and 6,500 feet.
Where's all that vaunted global warming?!!

The study determined that the Japan event was caused by a mega-earthquake measuring greater than a magnitude 9.5 from the Aleutian Islands that broadly impacted the north Pacific. A team of researchers led by Dr. Rhett Butler, geophysicist at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, re-examined historical evidence around the Pacific including coral fragments deposited into the Makauwahi Cave on Kauaʻi.
The Makauwahi geological feature is situated in a hardened sand dune about 100 meters from the ocean in the Māhāʻulepū area, and is the "only well-documented paleotsunami deposit in Hawaiʻi from the 16th century." An earlier study estimated the probability of a 9+ Magnitude earthquake in the Aleutian Islands, and its power to create a mega-tsunami in Hawai'i.
