Carroll said uninjured drivers tried to help as authorities sorted through the wreckage. “It’s just people helping people,” Carroll said. “The foremost thing in this holiday season is how other travelers were helping us when we were overwhelmed, sitting and holding, putting pressure on people that were injured.”

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) — The remains of a roller coaster that was knocked off a New Jersey amusement pier by Superstorm Sandy and partially submerged in the Atlantic Ocean might be left there as a tourist attraction. Seaside Heights Mayor Bill Akers said officials have not made a decision on whether to tear down the coaster. But the

mayor says he’s working with the Coast Guard to see if the coaster is stable enough to leave it alone because he believes it would make “a great tourist attraction.” Efforts to rebuild the storm-ravaged town continue. Demolition crews have removed the resort’s damaged boardwalk. And Akers said construction on a new boardwalk is expected to begin in January and be ready by Memorial Day.

MRI will provide area patients with faster scans and their doctors with better diagnostic images. The Large Bore design helps reduce the closed-in feeling of traditional MRIs and the short design allows many exams to be performed with a person’s face staying outside of the system. Neosho Memorial and KU Medical Center are the only Kansas hospitals with this new MRI. The unit’s powerful magnet provides exceptional high-quality images.
