Mystery spill leaves Amazon packages scattered on Montgomery County road

Several overturned delivery bins filled with Amazon packages were found spilled along West Germantown Pike in Plymouth Township. At least six or seven large containers were scattered on the side of the road, though it remains unclear how the packages ended up there or whether they fell from a passing delivery truck. No delivery drivers or company officials were immediately seen at the scene as questions remain over how the load was lost and whether local orders will be delayed.

North Penn didn't want season to end the way it was headed | Exclusive

All seemed well right around the midway point of the season. Perennial-power North Penn , the reigning PIAA District One Class 6A champion, sat at 4-2 and seemed headed for another high seed in the district tournament. And why would anyone think any differently? The Knights ' two losses had come against Central York (District Three) and Central Bucks West , two of the top teams in the state, while in their four wins they'd only allowed 14 total points. Then things changed. "We lost three straight games (to Pennridge, CB East and CB South ) and we started to question ourselves," North Penn senior quarterback London Evans said. "We had a team meeting and talked about everything and just tried to get everybody on the same page. We knew we had a good football team, but we weren't showing it. And nobody wanted to see our season, especially for the seniors, end without making the playoffs." But in a blink 4-2 turned into 4-5 and the Knights had to win their regular-season finale against Abington to secure a district tournament berth. "We were fired up and ready for Abington," North Penn senior wide receiver/running back Sal Colella said. "You

Some Thoughts on Villanova Beating La Salle Inside of a Not-Full Finneran Pavilion

Nova beat La Salle 80 to 59 on Tuesday night at the Pavilion. The game was closer than the final score indicates. La Salle was down five at halftime and did a nice job hanging in there despite foul trouble keeping both Anthony Finkley and Rob Dockery off the floor. Nova didn’t play their best game, but had an eight-point lead with eight minutes remaining before they blew it open and went on a big run to cover the -20.5 spread.

SS United States, long docked in Philly, goes under the waves

The formerly Philadelphia-docked SS United States now rests at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Why it matters: So ends the vessel's strange odyssey from the United States' largest ocean liner to Philly landmark to world's largest artificial reef . Driving the news: The controlled sinking began Wednesday afternoon roughly 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin-Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The sinking was slow going and stretched on for hours, but it was all over around 10pm when the ship fully disappeared into the water. Zoom in: The SS United States now joins a smorgasbord of other sunken vessels and artificial reefs for divers to explore off the beach. Plus: The ship's iconic red-white-and-blue smokestacks, as well as radar mast and a massive five-blade propeller were removed before the sinking — all of which will be incorporated into a land-based museum for the ship nearby. 👷 How it works: No explosives were used to sink the ship. Instead, crews strategically placed openings in the ship's hull and underwent a controlled flooding, which allowed it to rest in an upright position on the Gulf floor. Several compartments and lower deck areas that were deemed unsafe were also sealed

The St. Joe’s Hawks are 3-0, and their 83-80 win over South Florida on Wednesday was their biggest one yet. USF is a good team. They fell to 1-2 with the loss, but preseason projections had them finishing third in the American after going 25–9 (15–3 in conference play) last year, a season they capped off with a conference championship win and an 11-seed in the NCAA tournament.
