Note: This post contains mentions of murder and violence. Please proceed with caution. Recently, redditor iam_egg2009 asked the r/AskReddit community to share how they were nearly killed and how they managed to survive. Here are the jaw-dropping and terrifying stories people have shared of nearly becoming murder victims. 1. "Got shot in the abdomen during a house invasion. I was bleeding out, and the only thing that kept me alive was focusing on my breath and my buddy smacking me across the face and telling me, 'Nobody dies from a shot to the stomach.' Obviously, lying to me, but it helped keep me focused, and I guess the doctors, too, when I made it to the hospital." — Not-Henry_Cavill 3. "Not sure if I was nearly murdered, but someone threatened me with a knife, probably trying to rob me. However, at that point, I was on the phone with my dad because my mom had an accident, and I completely ignored the guy. I think he just let me go because he realized how stressed I was." — kiss_of_chef 5. "A father killed his wife, then came to the school looking to kill his son. The staff convinced him his son was not there once he threatened to kill everyone in my class. He was caught in Indiana on his way to kill his parents. He had schizophrenia, could not afford his medicine anymore, and had an episode where he thought the world was ending, so he was going to kill his family so they would not suffer. Him holding a knife at someone's grandmother's throat while yelling, 'I'll kill them all; they are already dead,' was extremely terrifying to a class of 7-year-olds." — independent_observe 7. "When I was a kid, my little brother had a mild obsession with knives, to the point where he collected them under his pillow. Once, for reasons I've forgotten since, he got mad at me and stabbed me in the back, literally, with a seam ripper. Had he used any of the knives under his pillow, I'd be dead now." — Tinferbrains 9. "I was 16. My friends and I were out in the woods with a .22 rifle, some cans, and zombie targets. I finished my lil' magazine and handed the rifle to a buddy. I went out to set up the cans and targets back up, and a shot whizzed past my left ear within two inches. I walked up to him, grabbed the rifle, and punched him straight in the face. He was ostracized from the group not long after that." — Speeddman360 11. "I was kidnapped, beaten, and had a gun held to my head while in the vehicle. I just agreed with everything he said, apologized for who knows what, and promised to do whatever he said and not call the police. He let me out of the car at my workplace, and I immediately went in and called the police. I felt dumb for years afterward, but now I realize that whatever I did to survive was the correct thing to do at the time." — GenXQuietQuitter88 13. "When I was an early teenager, I went to a friend's house whose older sister was having a party. It had alcohol, but very limited. Her parents were home, and we mostly played video games and cards. But more people than expected showed up, including some people who had already graduated. This one guy was a former high school jock loser who started making fun of me/hitting on me. The parents asked him to leave, and he did, making a bit of a fuss but eventually walking out." "I was all upset and crying and wanted to go home, but home was a mile-ish walk through some woods and dark roads, so her parents told me they would drive me home in a bit when the party was over. I was still upset and very dumb, so after a bit, I snuck out and walked home. A few hundred yards from my house, someone hit me with something (I was told it was a baseball bat) and stabbed me in the stomach several times. I do not remember any of this, nor do I remember someone finding me bleeding in a ditch and taking me to a hospital. If I had been there for much more time, I probably would have bled out and died in a ditch." — Ranma-chan 15. "A cartel tried to kidnap me and my parents in Mexico. I was expecting a decision from a top law school program and was hellbent on coming back home. Three trucks blocked us in, but the one on the driver's side didn't pull up far enough to block us in all the way. Masked men got out of the vehicles and surrounded us with assault rifles, banging on the glass and trying to shatter it. I began yelling at the masked men, telling them, 'You're going to regret this.' My parents were frozen, and I started yelling at my mom to put the car into drive, pop the curb, and not look back. She did, and we got away, luckily. In America, we are taught to comply, but my instincts told me otherwise in Mexico, and I'm so glad I listened to them. I got into the program and realized the little powerless girl in my childhood became a fearless, fast-thinking badass." — powerpuffbuttercupp 17. "When I was about five years old, my family was having dinner at a family friend's house. They had a kid my age, so we went to his room to play after dinner. I don't remember what happened, but my dad said that he realized that after a while of playing, we suddenly weren't making any noise. And anyone who has kids knows that kids going from making a ton of noise to no noise is a bad sign. So he went upstairs to check on us, thinking we had broken something. When he opened the door to the room, he saw me lying on the ground and the kid choking me by pressing his foot against my windpipe while smiling. My dad shoved him off of me, obviously, since I'm typing this, and as far as I'm aware, I didn't have any brain damage from losing oxygen." — CarouselCup If you have a similar story you feel comfortable sharing, feel free to comment below or fill out this anonymous form.

Over a year has passed since Yasuko, who had been diagnosed with an early-onset type of dementia, disappeared from their home in the western Japan city of Yonago. Her husband Tsutomu is desperately seeking any information on her whereabouts. The type of dementia she suffers is rare, affecting only 1 percent of those stricken with the disease. Tsutomu, 65, wishes he had contacted the police earlier, given that he waited until that afternoon to act. Now, haunted by regret, he still puts up missing person posters of his 60-year-old wife and posts messages on social media in the hope she will be found alive. The shoulder bag and leather shoes Yasuko always wore were gone. She went missing on a Tuesday, when the couple would usually visit their neighborhood supermarket at 8 a.m. for its weekly sale. When Yasuko had wandered before, Tsutomu found her at the store. He thought this time would be the same but she was neither there nor anywhere else nearby. He had the city use its emergency broadcast system, which can be used to track down dementia sufferers, to no avail. But Tsutomu remained positive, believing "there is no way I won't find her," he said. The next day, there was a troubling development in the case. Police came to Tsutomu's residence to show him security camera footage of a person who appeared to be Yasuko walking toward the city of Matsue in neighboring Shimane Prefecture where her parents live. All promising leads about her location ended there. The couple's home city of Yonago, in Tottori Prefecture, is near the border of the two prefectures and about 30 kilometers from Matsue, Shimane's capital. There was a report of a sighting of a woman fitting Yasuko's description entering the yard of a private home in the city of Yasugi, but no video camera footage. Yasuko experiences symptoms of semantic dementia, a rare, progressive type of the brain disease that causes a loss in the ability to understand the meaning of words and other stimuli. According to Katsuya Urakami, a professor in the Faculty of Medicine at Tottori University, the disease often occurs in people in their 50s and 60s, much younger than dementia usually surfaces. Yasuko was diagnosed in 2021. Her eldest son realized something was wrong when she described a crow she had seen as "the black thing." Unlike wandering, which is often a problem for Alzheimer's sufferers, patients with semantic dementia repeat predetermined behaviors. Professor Urakami described the case of the missing woman as "very rare." Even after her diagnosis, Yasuko retained some independence and would take 20-minute walks alone in the evening along a set path or cook breakfast of bread and eggs. Even so, Tsutomu quit his job last July to dedicate himself to her care. The day before she went missing, Tsutomu had discussed with carers measures to ensure his wife's wellbeing. They had proposed placing a global positioning system tracking device inside her shoe. He is tormented by certain thoughts: If only he had contacted the police immediately; if only he had made her carry her ID card. "I am still full of regrets," Tsutomu said. The National Police Agency reported in July that a record 19,039 people with dementia or suspected dementia were reported missing to the police nationwide in 2023. The number increased by 330 from the previous year, the 11th consecutive year of increase. More than 11,000 were over 80 years old, nearly 7,000 in their 70s, and close to 1,000 in their 60s or younger. Amid Japan's graying population, the number of reported dementia sufferers or suspected sufferers missing has doubled over the past decade. Tsutomu believes it is important that people with dementia "not be forced to do what they don't want to do." Tsutomu regrets doing just that as he had put Yasuko into adult daycare before he quit his job, despite knowing she opposed the arrangement. He printed new missing person posters with photos of Yasuko in the spring, asking attendants to display them at Shimane train stations as well as convenience stores, gasoline stations and other prominent places. Tsutomu posted on X, "There must be clues out there," but so far there have been no leads. At home alone, he still awaits her return. "I just want her to come back to me unharmed," he said.

HOUSTON (AP) — For a second straight season, the Houston Texans will be without Tank Dell to end the regular season and for the playoffs after the dynamic receiver suffered another major injury. Dell sustained what coach DeMeco Ryans called a “significant” knee injury on a 30-yard touchdown catch in Houston’s loss to Kansas City on Saturday . Though the team hasn’t officially ruled him out for the season, it seems unlikely that he’ll be able to return after he was hospitalized overnight following the injury. Ryans said Sunday that Dell had been released from the hospital and was heading back to Houston. He added that he was still being evaluated to see what the next steps would be. This injury comes after Dell fractured his fibula in Week 13 against the Broncos last season and had surgery on it the following day. “It’s tough to see guys get injured, the work that guys put in, how much they put their bodies on the line to play this game,” Ryans said. “It’s deeper than football. We are talking about real people who have real emotions and real feelings who are going through a tough time right now. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in that situation.” The AFC South champion Texans will have to regroup quickly with a visit from the Ravens coming on Christmas Day. Dell’s injury is another blow to a team that was already missing Stefon Diggs after the four-time Pro Bowl receiver sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 8. Dell ranks second on the team with 51 receptions for 667 yards and three touchdowns behind Nico Collins, who has 909 yards receiving and six scores. Tight end Dalton Schultz has 482 yards receiving and two touchdowns and running back Joe Mixon 291 yards receiving and a touchdown grab. But with Dell and Diggs out, the Texans are thin at receiver. John Metchie, who has just 182 yards receiving this season, could fill in for Diggs this week, but his status is uncertain after he missed Saturday’s game with a shoulder injury. “There is a chance John could be back,” Ryans said. “I think he’s progressing, so we’ll see where he ends up on Wednesday.” Other options at the position are veteran Robert Woods, who has just 143 yards receiving this season, and Xavier Hutchinson, who nine catches. Quarterback C.J. Stroud, one of Dell’s closest friends, was distraught after Dell’s injury and remained upset after the game. He said it will be difficult for the team to bounce back after losing Dell to a serious injury again. “The easy answer is to tell you something to make everybody feel nice, but it’s not the truth right now,” he said after the game. “The truth is that it’s not easy seeing your brother go down like that. (Sunday) we’ll have to get recovery, get ready for Wednesday because it’s another big-time opponent. The Ravens are a great team. It’ll be a playoff atmosphere on Christmas Day.” What's working Stroud distributed the ball well Saturday, completing passes to six different players. Dell led the way with six receptions for 98 yards and Collins had seven receptions for 60 yards while being double-teamed often. With teams likely to place even more emphasis on stopping Collins with Dell out, Stroud will need to continue to spread the ball around against the Ravens. What needs help The Texans continue to struggle in the red zone and converted just 1 of 3 opportunities Saturday. This comes after they were also 1 of 3 in a win over the Jaguars in Week 13 and converted just 2 of 4 chances in a loss to the Titans in Week 12. “We had our opportunities, and it just comes down to as simple as guys being in the right spot,” Ryans said. “We just have to make the plays. We have to finish and that’s all it comes down to.” Stock up LB Christian Harris had seventh tackles and a sack against the Chiefs in his second game of the season after missing the first 13 with a calf injury. His sack was Houston’s 46th of the season, which ties a franchise record that was set last season. Stock down K Ka’imi Fairbairn missed an extra point Saturday. He’s been excellent from long range this season, making 13 field goals longer than 50 yards. But has struggled on shorter kicks, missing two from less than 30 yards before Saturday’s PAT miss. Injuries S Jimmie Ward injured his foot Saturday and could miss the rest of the season. ... G Shaq Mason injured his knee against the Chiefs and will likely miss Wednesday’s game. Key number 10 — Dell’s touchdown Saturday was the 10th of his career, tying Hall of Famer Andre Johnson for most TD catches by a Texans through their first two seasons. Next steps The Texans look for their first win over Baltimore since 2014 after five consecutive wins by the Ravens, including a 34-10 victory in the divisional round of the playoffs last season. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Kristie Rieken, The Associated Press

The days are short. The sun is low in the sky. Your lips and skin are dry and cracked, and no amount of lip balm can fix it. You just want to look out your window and see palm trees — not trees coated in snow and ice. Perhaps a warm, sunny holiday is just what the doctor ordered. But where should you go? It’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere, after all, and many places are experiencing some of their coldest temperatures of the year. The map below shades areas orange (hot), red (hotter) or gray (hottest) depending on their average temperature, including both daytime highs and overnight lows, from Dec. 20 to Dec. 30 over a 30-year period from 1991 to 2020. This map highlights areas that have an average temperature of at least 75 degrees between Dec. 20 and Dec. 30. The hottest place on the planet during this time of the year is in Western Australia. Consider it an unofficial weather guide for planning your next winter vacation — for the times you want to find yourself in a place where weather forecasts are based on coconuts. We’ll breakdown destinations that fall into each of the temperature bands and take you on a virtual journey to some of these places. From the East End and NYC day trips to weekend road trips and beyond, get ideas on how to plan your travels. By clicking Sign up, you agree to our privacy policy . The hottest destination Not to be overshadowed, an analysis of warm December destinations also revealed the hottest place on the planet late in the month: the desert of Western Australia. There, the average temperature in late December is a whopping 96 degrees Fahrenheit. Good day! If you have a fear of snakes and spiders, it might not be the place for you. But by staying alert and keeping your distance, you won’t have to worry. There’s antivenom available in the rare instance of a bite. The trade off is world class surf beaches, long days and a mix of vibrant cities and extraordinary natural beauty. Santa trades his red suit and sleigh for togs (a swim suit) and a surf board down here, mate. The hottest location of them all is near a town called Innawanga, in the Pilbara region. This place has an average temperature of 96 degrees Fahrenheit during late December. What makes this figure most impressive is that it’s the average temperature, even considering nighttime. Australian meteorologist Tristan Meyers, who previously provided forecasts for a mine in the region, said there’s no other place quite like it. "It’s pure desert: rugged, wild and untamed," Meyers said. "Driving through there is only for people that have the correct vehicle, since if you breakdown, you may not see anyone for days." He referenced a guide to driving in the region, which highlights all the things that could go wrong and how to stay safe. "Strong thunderstorms and tropical cyclones can temper the heat and lead to the flash formation of waterfalls, especially during monsoon season," he said. Hot destinations If you’d rather not risk it with Australian wildlife, why not dive into the South Pacific Islands? Bonjour to New Caledonia! If it’s not the pastries that you’re traveling for, let it be the weather. With an average temperature of 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the same time period, this French territory in the South Pacific boasts a sublime climate this time of the year. The capital city, Nouméa, typically has high temperatures in the mid 80s and lows around 70 during late December, with monthly rainfall of fewer than three inches. One potential drawback about visiting this time of the year is that it’s tropical cyclone season, which runs from November through April in the Southwest Pacific. Next up, say kia orana (a greeting that means may you live long) to the Cook Islands. In the same temperature band as New Caledonia, this island group offers laid back Pacific Island vibes and crystal clear turquoise waters teeming with life and delectable, fresh seafood. The biggest and most populous island, Rarotonga, is surrounded by a lagoon that allows for safe swimming and snorkeling close to the shore. If you want to level up to the next temperature band, check out the Fiji Islands. When you step off the plane, the warm air and friendly locals will greet you with a hearty bula (Fijian for hello). The Fijian archipelago has more than 300 islands, many of which feature incredible sailing, snorkeling and diving experiences. One particular uninhabited island, named Monuriki, was the filming location of the movie "Cast Away" in the 2000. Life tends to go at a slower, more relaxed pace here. The locals call it "Fiji time." So find your favorite hammock, grab a coconut and sip the day away. Mabuhay (a Filipino greeting that means long live) to the Philippines! This country in the Western Pacific is no stranger to extreme weather, such as typhoons, but the tropical warmth is still delightful. The peak of typhoon season is July through October when about 70% of these powerful storms form. December comes with a lower risk. Most of the archipelago, comprised more than 7,000 islands, is covered in the hot (75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit) and hotter (80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit) temperature bands in late December, driven by a warm body of water known as the West Pacific Warm Pool. But don’t just come for the warm weather. Come for the white sand beaches, some of the most delicious mangoes in the world and the friendly, hospitable people. There are plenty of other hot destinations worth visiting this time of the year. In the 75 to 80 degree temperature band are parts of Mexico, the Caribbean, Brazil, Argentina and parts of South Africa. Parts of Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Vanuatu, Samoa and Paraguay are in the 80 to 85 degree band. In addition to Australia, parts of northern Argentina, Paraguay and Kenya are all in the hottest temperature band of greater than 85 degrees. If you like your ocean water like your bath water What goes well with hot temperatures? A place to cool off, of course. Many tropical destinations afford that opportunity with the nearby sea — but in some places the water might be a bit too warm. The map below highlights areas that have sea temperatures of greater than 75 degrees in mid-December. Some of the world's warmest seas are found in the tropical western Pacific during mid-December. The hottest of them all takes us back to Australia, to a body of water known as the Gulf of Carpentaria, where it’s 90 degrees this time of the year — almost like a hot tub. This place isn’t fit for swimmers anyway — the waters are infested with salt water crocodiles and other creatures that could give you a nasty sting. When asked about swimming in the Gulf, Meyers simply said "don’t do it." For waters that are milder in both temperature and wildlife activity, there are plenty of other options. The water near Hawaii is around 80 degrees this time of the year. Couple that with high temperatures in the 80s and you’ve got yourself quite the tropical holiday. In the Caribbean, water temperatures are commonly in the low 80s in late December, with air temperatures in the mid-80s. Also consider that hurricane season is over and the dry season has commenced. The Caribbean’s tropical holiday stock may be rising. If you’re willing to travel to a more far-flung destination, Bora Bora in French Polynesia fits the bill. With water temperatures in the mid-80s, this tropical paradise has all the makings of an epic vacation. However, the dry season runs from July to October and it can be wetter in December. Tropical cyclones, while possible, are rare. If after reading all of this, you still aren’t sure about taking a tropical holiday, just check out the satellite photo of Bora Bora. Sunshine and warm weather awaits you.
