Teenager struck and killed by Six Flags Rollercoaster in Georgia

Six Flags officials in Georgia say a teenager was struck and killed by a roller coaster after entering a restricted area at the amusement park outside Atlanta.

Six Flags spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a news release that the unidentified 17-year-old was struck and killed by the Batman roller coaster at about 2 p.m. Saturday.

Sheth says the teenager scaled two six-foot fences to enter the ride area.

She says there are signs warning the restricted area is dangerous.

In Addendum:

A teenager was decapitated by a roller coaster after he hopped a pair of fences and entered a restricted area Saturday at Six Flags Over Georgia, authorities said.

Six Flags officials are uncertain why the unidentified 17-year-old from Columbia, S.C. scaled two six-foot fences and passed signs that said the restricted area was both off-limits and dangerous to visitors, spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a news release.

Authorities were investigating reports from witnesses who said the teenager jumped the fences to retrieve a hat he lost while riding the Batman roller coaster, said Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce. Three security guards were keeping visitors away from the ride on Saturday.

Police said the ride was going full-speed when the teen was struck. The ride's top speed is 50 mph, according to the Six Flags Web site.

No one riding on the roller coaster was injured, Sheth said. The teen's friend also entered the restricted area but was not injured, Pierce said.

The teen and his parents were at the park with a group from the Oakey Spring Baptist Church near Springfield, S.C., police said.

North Carolina soldier eyed in probe of dead servicewoman

A military spokesman says a soldier at Fort Bragg in North Carolina is a person of interest in the death of a pregnant servicewoman whose body was found in a motel bathroom in Fayetteville a week ago.

Lt. Col. John Clearwater said Saturday that the soldier is training at a school where special operations ranging from raids to reconstruction projects are taught. Clearwater says the student has not been charged with any crime.

Police have called the death of Spc. Megan Lynn Touma suspicious. Police did not immediately return telephone messages Saturday.

Touma was found after a motel maintenance supervisor smelled a foul odor coming from a room.

Touma was a dental specialist who had recently arrived from a base in Germany. She was seven months pregnant.

Ecstasy Is the Key to Treating PTSD

At last the incurably traumatized may be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And controversially, the key to taming their demons is the ‘killer’ drug Ecstasy

An Ecstasy tablet. That’s what it took to make Donna Kilgore feel alive again that and the doctor who prescribed it. As the pill began to take effect, she giggled for the first time in ages. She felt warm and fuzzy, as if she was floating. The anxiety melted away. Gradually, it all became clear: the guilt, the anger, the shame.
