s yard

AP - Bud the cat is back home safe and sound after spending more than four days stuck in a drain pipe in his family's yard in Harrisburg.

Nearly 100 homes in South Austin were without water Monday after a construction crew, working for the city, hit a water main.

When the U.S. military shot down a dying satellite, it said it did so to keep the satellite from landing in somebody's yard.

Russia's space program has no such luck. Boris Urmatov, a shepherd, says a 10-foot-long chunk of rocket metal fell in his yard.

Now he has filed a lawsuit demanding 1 million roubles.

When the U.S. military shot down a dying satellite, it said it did so to keep the satellite from landing in somebody's yard.

Russia's space program has no such luck. Boris Urmatov, a shepherd, lives beneath the path of rockets from a Russian launching pad.

He says a 10-foot-long chunk of rocket metal fell in his yard -- and just missed crushing his outhouse. Now he has filed a lawsuit demanding 1 million roubles.
