A 14-year-old girl was killed when a speeding car slammed into the back of a UPS truck in Queens.
The passenger side of the BMW plowed into the delivery truck, and the out-of-control car came to a screeching halt immediately after. Remnants of the deadly crash were left scattered over the road, where there is now a growing memorial for Fortune, a freshman at Springfield Gardens High School who had dreams of becoming a doctor.
Francis said she spoke to her daughter before the crash. She said they ended the call the same way they always ended conversations.

Demon Hunting: Physicists confirm 67-year-old prediction of massless, neutral composite particle -- ScienceDailyIn 1956, theoretical physicists predicted that electrons in a solid can do something strange. While they normally have a mass and an electric charge, Pines asserted that they can combine to form a composite particle that is massless, neutral, and does not interact with light. He called this particle a 'demon.' Since then, it has been speculated to play an important role in the behaviors of a wide variety of metals. Unfortunately, the same properties that make it interesting have allowed it to elude detection since its prediction.
