TRAGEDY STRIKES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD

Just read a stunning piece of news this afternoon--American open water swimmer Fran Crippen lost consciousness during a race today in the United Arab Emirates and died at the age of 26. One of his teammates realized Crippen hadn't finished the race and yelled for help--the competitors jumped back in the water to go search for Crippen, but it was too late.

His body was found near a buoy about two hours later. Officials aren't sure what caused Crippen's death.

Just another reason to hug your sons and daughters and tell them how much you love them. None of us is guaranteed a tomorrow.
