LOS ANGELES - On Monday, we got a look inside one of the deadliest wildfires in U.S. history. It was in in June of last year, that 19 hotshot firefighters were killed in Yarnell, Ariz. Video shot by other firefighters has just been released.

The video shows the intensity of the fast-moving flames the Granite Mountain hotshots faced in their final moments.

As shifting winds pushed the fire and billowing smoke back on the command post -- forcing fire managers to evacuate themselves -- they were plagued by communication problems.

John MacLean has written five books about wildland firefighting and is independently investigating this fire.

"The videos that came out show a very chaotic situation," he said. "The difficulties of communication, the fact that no one knew where Granite Mountain was," said MacLean. "You see people on the ground asking for cell phone numbers because they can't communicate."

A video released Monday shows the chaotic fight to save 19 firefighters in Arizona who were killed on Granite Mountain.

"I had his old number, but I don't have his new number," a firefighter is heard saying on the video. "Can you text it to me, I really need it bad right about now."

During the communication chaos, the hotshots were trapped by 2,000 degree heat and surrounded by a 100-foot wall of fire that was closing in fast.

ESO astronomers have used the Very Large Telescopes (VLT) Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument to make detailed observations of a cosmic collision, revealing secrets as to how star-forming gas was ripped out of a distant spiral galaxy. The findings help shed light on the mystery of how star formation ceases in galaxy clusters.

The team made use of MUSE a new, visible wavelength instrument designed for the discovery of objects that standard imaging surveys arent able to identify. MUSE provides astronomers with a band of colors (or spectrum) for every pixel recorded, allowing them to build a detailed map of the properties and motions of the objects being studied.

The instrument was used to study the spiral galaxy ESO 137-001 as it moves into the Norma Cluster. The spiral galaxy, located 200 million light-years away, is undergoing a process known as ram-pressure stripping, wherein a strong drag force is exerted upon the object, eroding its raw materials.

Falling into a cloud of thin, hot gas at a speed of several million kilometers per hour, ESO 137-001 is being stripped of the majority of the gas required to produce young stars, transforming it from a blue galaxy filled with the gas required for star-formation into a gas-poor red one.

MUSE has allowed the team to not only confirm the existence of the gas in and around the galaxy, but also to observe how it moves. Viewing the object for a single hour was enough to build a high-resolution image detailing the distribution and movement of material in the object. The team found that the gas had already been fully stripped from the outer edges of the galaxy, where the gravity from less dense star clusters has a weaker hold on the material.

"It is one of the major tasks of modern astronomy to find out how and why galaxies in clusters evolve from blue to red over a very short period of time," said Durham Universitys Michele Fumagalli, the team lead on the project. "Catching a galaxy right when it switches from one to the other allows us to investigate how this happens."

Eventually, all galactic gas will be swept out into bright streaks behind the galaxy, stretching out over 200,000 light-years. Both the gas in the bright tails and stars in ESO 137-001 continue to rotate in the same way, providing further evidence that it is the gas in the cluster, rather than gravity, thats responsible for the stripping.

KASPERSKY Labs Global Research and Analysis Team experts researched the Darkhotel espionage campaign, which has lurked in the shadows for at least four years while stealing sensitive data from selected corporate executives travelling abroad.

Darkhotel hits its targets while they are staying in luxury hotels. The crew never goes after the same target twice.

They perform operations with surgical precision, getting all the valuable data they can from the first contact, deleting traces of their work and melting into the background to await the next high profile individual.

The most recent travelling targets include top executives from the US and Asia doing business and investing in the APAC region: CEOs, senior vice presidents, sales and marketing directors and top R&D staff have all been targeted.

Who will be next? This threat actor is still active, Kaspersky Lab warns.

How the hotel attack works

The Darkhotel actor maintains an effective intrusion set on hotel networks, providing ample access over the years, even to systems that were believed to be private and secure.

They wait until, after check-in, the victim connects to the hotel Wi-Fi network, submitting his room number and surname at the login.

The attackers see him in the compromised network and trick him into downloading and installing a backdoor that pretends to be an update for legitimate software - Google Toolbar, Adobe Flash or Windows Messenger.

The unsuspecting executive downloads this hotel welcome package, only to infect his machine with a backdoor, Darkhotels spying software.

FARMINGTON A pumping station malfunctioned Sunday morning in Farmington allowing raw sewage to seep across a field and into a pond connected to the Animas River, which already exceeds state standards for a bacterium associated with human waste.

Public Works Director David Sypher said the sewage, diluted after washing more than 600 feet across the field, reached the river, "and that's why we're pumping out the pond."

Assistant City Manager Bob Campbell said Wednesday afternoon he expected the pond to be pumped dry and refilled with clean water by the end of the day. The field was disinfected on Sunday, he said.

City officials alerted down-stream river users on Sunday, he said.

Officials are uncertain how much waste leaked into the river.

"They are still trying to determine that number," said Jeff Smaka, city water and wastewater administrator.

What officials do know is two of the three pumps at the facility malfunctioned sometime Sunday morning. They are still trying to determine the timeline, Smaka said.

Pump stations are built in valleys and other depressions where gravity can't pull sewage downhill. The lift stations pump the waste up hill, where it can begin flowing down again.

When the first pump in the station off Murray Drive stopped working because of an electrical failure the second pump should have switched on, but it didn't. Smaka doesn't know for certain why, but he thinks scum could have interfered with a float, preventing it from turning on and sounding an alarm.

A FIRE that tore through a popular restaurant and residence is believe to have started by a faulty refrigeration unit.

SCENE: Firefighters inspect the damage after Monday night's blaze. PICTURE: LACHLAN BENCE

A FIRE that tore through a popular restaurant and residence is believe to have started by a faulty refrigeration unit.

Emergency services were called to Spanish and Mexican restaurant Zaragosa, at 10.10pm on Monday with both Ballarat and Ballarat city crews responding to the fire.

Operations Officer Western District 15 Anthony Pearce investigated the scene on Tuesday with an insurance assessor and determined the fire started in the kitchen.

"The consensus is that the fire started from a refrigeration unit by an unknown fault near the compressor or the fan unit," Mr Pearce said.

He said the structure of the building leant itself to the strong ferocity of the blaze.

"There was a lot of fuel in the kitchen including timber-lined ceiling, floor and walls," Mr Pearce said.

"The natural construction of the building allowed the fire to ventilate upward and burn freely and fast."
