Algunos días, el toro te atrapa.

We think think that what happened here is very sad, and our prayers are with the unfortunate man's family.
That said, as with most taurine-related reports coming out of Spain, our sympathies are with the bull.

Horror as man, 52, dies after being 'nearly decapitated' by a bull as he ran with the beasts during a festival in Spain

The victim, identified only as AEL, was standing near, but not inside, the spectators' 'cages' which line the route in a bid to keep onlookers safe....
The horrific incident happened on the final day of the fiestas of Cristo de l'Alcora in Castellón, a province in the northern part of the Valencian community.
One onlooker said: 'I saw it. It was horrific. His head was nearly hanging off. It made my stomach churn.'
Another commented on social media: 'I haven't seen such an horrendous attack for years. My legs are still shaking.'
The rest of the festivities were immediately suspended by the local council which offered 'sincere condolences to the victim's family and friends.'
The town was celebrating the final day of its annual festivities known as the 'Cristo de l'Alcora' and this was the third bull-run.

American woman arrested at NAIA for hiding 6-day-old Filipino baby in luggage

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, September 4) — Immigration officials held a middle-aged American woman hiding a six-day-old baby in her luggage at the airport on Wednesday.
Jennifer Talbot, 43 years old, was about to board a flight to the United States when she was caught at around 6:20 a.m. by Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 officers during their security checks.
"[The] infant was hidden in the oversized belt bag and (she) did not declare nor present to the immigration inspector during departure formalities," said the Bureau of Immigration.
Authorities said the woman claimed she was the child’s aunt, but she had no documents to prove this, not even a passport. They have yet to interrogate Talbot, the NBI said, since she requested to speak to the US Embassy first.
Officials said they are planning to charge her with child trafficking.

Welfare agency had repeated involvement before Wichita toddler died

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas child welfare officials say they received repeated reports about a Wichita toddler before he died of an overdose of the addiction treatment medication methadone.
The Kansas Department of Children and Families released a summary Tuesday of its involvement with 2-year-old Zayden Jay Nesahkluah in response to a records request from The Associated Press. Zayden's mother, 23-year-old Kimberly Compass , was charged last month with first-degree murder.
