Bronx Zoo SUV plunge: Father who lost family says, ‘I want to die’

The SUV that plunged more than 50 feet from the Bronx River Parkway on Sunday, killing seven people from three generations of a Bronx family, was headed to a family reunion, stunned relatives said.
"I lost my family," said Juan Gonzalez, whose 45-year-old wife and 10-year-old daughter were killed in the crash, according to the New York Post. "What can I say? I don't want to be here. I want to die."
Gonzalez's wife, Maria, a Fordham University staffer, was driving her daughter, 85-year-old father, 81-year-old mother, 39-year-old sister and two nieces (ages 3 and 7) to a party at her sister's Bronx home when she lost control of the vehicle, police said.
The vehicle flew off an elevated portion of the parkway near the Bronx Zoo at about 12:30 p.m. local time, authorities said. It's not clear what caused the crash.
According to the Associated Press, the SUV was headed south when "it bounced off the median, crossed all southbound lanes over to the guardrail and fell."
Rihanna’s “Battleship” Makes $170M BEFORE U.S. Release!
And here’s the kicker: the film doesn’t even open in the United States until May 18!
By the way, “Battleship” can be downloaded for personal home viewing if you know how to find it online. But I prefer to wait until the film premieres in theaters. I predict Rihanna’s “Battleship” will do bigger box office numbers than the Avengers kiddie movie.
Beyonce says rumors that she was never pregnant are ‘just crazy’
Remember that infamous television appearance in which Beyonce’s belly bump appeared to fold in half? Beyonce had an answer for that: “It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold?” she said.
Yes, Beyonce, fabric folds — pregnant bellies do not. At least not in the real world.
Take a look at the photos above. The pictures are a side-by-side comparison of Jessica Simpson and Beyonce when they were both 7 months pregnant. I won’t insult your intelligence by asking you if Beyonce looks pregnant in the above pic.
Here’s what we can see with our own eyes: Every part of Jessica’s anatomy looks pregnant — even her hands. On the other hand, no part of Beyonce looks pregnant — not even her abdomen. She looks like she just got finished performing in a low budget play with a lumpy pillow stuffed under her dress.
Yet Beyonce and her mother, Tina Knowles, continues to insist that we’re the crazy ones for believing our eyes.
Have we ever known Beyonce or her mom to be honest women? Has anything changed? Do we really expect them to come clean now after carrying on this charade for all these months?
The Quick Word- The Raid: Redemption (2012)
Release Date: Click HERE for release info by country.
Written and Directed by: Gareth Evans.
Starring: Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, and a scrappy lil' son of a bitch named Yayan Ruhian.
The Raid: Redemption is purely an action movie, no horror involved at all (unless you count gratuitous violence and copious amounts of blood), but we just had to take a minute to give it some love.
In horror terms, it's reminiscent of The Horde; where a small group of people are trapped in an apartment building and are forced to fight their way through a crazy horde of zombies in order to escape the death trap they're in. In The Raid, the zombies are replaced with some vicious Indonesian gangsters, and the people that are trapped and forced to fight their way out are Indonesian cops. It's also way more violent and bloody, and by the end, I think there were more corpses lying around... more corpses than a zombie movie. Think about that one.

The Raid: Redemption was so awesome that it made us stand up in the theater and throw karate kicks into the air, while yelling "Hyah!" (*That didn't really happen, but in our hearts it did.)
It's really hard to explain how crazy and action packed The Raid truly is, because at some point while trying to explain it, we'd end up sounding like we're just way over exaggerating things. A week removed from seeing The Raid, with emotion taken out of the equation and our heads calm and clear, we can say that the movie was so full of insane, bloody, mind blowing action, that we honestly can't think of any other movie in recent memory that comes close to its level. Not even kinda close.
It's honestly one of the best martial arts flicks we've ever seen. Ever.

It seems as though lately if we're in the mood for a really good thriller or action flick, that countries like Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea, HK or Japan (among other Asian/Pacific Island countries) are doing them better than anyone else in the world. For an American viewer like me, they films from these countries seem a bit odd or different in some ways, but they always seem to find a way to entertain, dazzle and often times disturb me in great ways. They do it different there, and Hollywood really ought to take note of what makes the average Asian flick so good, and maybe try to emulate them a bit more, instead of remaking already great movies in a sub par way. I shudder to think what Hollywood is going to do to Oldboy, even with Spike Lee at the helm.
Indonesia just gave the world an action masterpiece. You really should go out of your way to find The Raid and enjoy the hell out of it.
