A cool video has emerged of two stunt planes performing an amazing low altitude crossing.
The impressive feat was pulled off at an airshow in Tornquist Partido, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, by members of the "Escuadrilla Argentina de Acrobacia Aerea" aerobatic team.

The stunt was performed in September 2012 but the footage has only recently emerged online.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An 11-year-old Mexican boy who had been suffering from a massive tumor and drew international attention after U.S. officials helped him get treatment in New Mexico had the growth removed after a long surgery, a church said Tuesday.

In a statement, Kristean Alcocer of the First Baptist Church of Rio Rancho said Jose Antonio Ramirez Serrano underwent surgery Monday at the University of New Mexico Children's Hospital to remove the tumor from his neck, shoulder and torso area.

The surgery lasted a more than 12 hours and involved 25 medical professionals, Alcocer said.

"The road to recovery will be long, and many challenges still lie ahead for this young boy," said Alcocer, who is housing Jose while he receives treatment.

In July 2012, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations assisted in picking up Jose and his parents from a neighborhood in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico — one of the deadliest cities in the world at the time because of the presence of drug cartels.

Federal agents helped the family seek care for Jose after First Baptist Church members saw him during a missionary visit.

After stories and images of the boy went viral, First Baptist Church officials reported a jump in donations to help him raise money for the surgeries.

Jose was diagnosed with venous lymphangioma on his shoulder, and he was told by doctors at the University of New Mexico Hospital that he had to undergo a series of surgeries and treatments to remove the huge fluid buildup.

Jose's parents have said the tumor on his shoulder and neck grew so large that it affected his eyesight. They said they were afraid it might move into his heart. With no money for medical care, the family sought treatment in Juarez and El Paso, but they did not receive any help removing the tumor, which has afflicted Jose since birth.

For the past two years, the church has raised money for the boy.

The plight of Jose drew support from New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who asked federal officials to extend his stay in the U.S. so he could continue treatment.

Jose still needs surgeries to reconstruct his shoulder bone and to remove excess skin, officials said.

Jose often talks to his parents, who visit when they can, Alcocer said.

Chinese thieves steal £5,000 pedigree dog for dinner

Chinese thieves cunningly lure £5,000 Alaskan malamute dog from his proud owner and sell him to a restaurant

mRf3RcN.jpg

(Daily Telegraph) Strong, loyal and sociable, Alaskan malamutes have become popular dogs for wealthy Chinese families.
But the first Alaskan malamute to arrive in the northern Chinese city of Tonghua has met an unfortunate end.
Thieves lured him away using a female golden retriever in heat. He was sold shortly afterwards to a local restaurant and eaten by diners.

"I did not believe it when the restaurant owner told me he might have been eaten," said his owner, 33-year-old Yang Xu, the owner of a successful Dunlop tire shop in the city.

Mr Yang, a dog lover, bought him as a 15-week-old puppy from a breeder in Los Angeles in 2005, paying $8,500 (£5,400) and a further $1,200 to fly him to China.

Mr Yang identified one of the thieves from the footage and found him, but the pair had already sold the dog onto a dealer, who in turn had sold him to the Runda restaurant for 950 yuan (£95).

At this time of year, as winter closes in, Northern Chinese like to eat dog meat to fortify themselves for the frozen months ahead. At the back of the Runda, a sign offers cash for any dogs that are brought in.

"Of course I did not know the dog was so special," said Zhang Yanbo, the owner of the restaurant. "Generally we buy dogs from people who have them as pets but do not want to keep them. We buy all dogs apart from lap dogs, which are too small. We also buy from the market on Sundays. If business is good, we usually buy a dog a day. For a simple dog dish, we charge around 30 yuan for 750g."

He added: "If I had known it was so special, I would have sold it on and made a lot of money. But if this dog is as smart as people say, how come it just followed the female?"

The distraught Mr Yang said he had watched the closed circuit footage at the restaurant and seen the dealer discuss Ruizhi with the cook. "I had to stop watching after they hung him up," he said. Mr Yang said he wants the police to arrest the thieves and put them on trial, but China does not have an animal protection law.
