The pictures are horrific, and the stories behind the devastating crashes are heartbreaking.In one accident, 17-year-old Annaleah and 13-year-old Mary died in the backseat of their car, after a truck hit them and pushed the car underneath a tractor-trailer. Their mother, Marianne Karth, is haunted by it. “It's a very devastating crash. It's like the most devasting you can have,” Karth says. Lois Durso also lost her 26-old-daughter, Roya, in one of these same types of crashes.“Her hair was on the tires of the trailer, so we know it crushed her,” Durso recalls. Eric Hein experienced a similar tragedy. His 16-year-old son, Riley, died on his way to marching band practice after getting trapped underneath a tractor-trailer truck.“He went underneath the trailer,” Hein recalls. “His car got dragged for half a mile until it was engulfed in flames, and the fire killed him.” Tragedy brought all three parents together. Now, perseverance pushes them forward as they take steps to prevent these types of crashes. Karth and Durso organized a crash test in Washington, D.C. just weeks after members of Congress reintroduced the Stop Underrides Act, which would update and strengthen safety laws, including requiring tractor trailers to have guards on the sides to help prevent cars from ending up underneath them.“Seeing is believing, and for them to witness with their own eyes and own ears and to have it be something they see,” Karth says of their crash test. “Crash into the side of the trailer with a side guard and without to see the life and death difference.” Past legislation has stalled, but the parents hope this dramatic demonstration will be enough to get Congress to take action. Tests have shown when installed properly, guards can make a difference and keep cars from sliding underneath trailers. “It's not the crash that kills, it's the underride,” explains Durso. “If you can prevent the underride, there's a chance the vehicle occupants will survive.” Groups representing the trucking industry have concerns about the cost and say the guards add extra weight and can impact how tractor trailers can maneuver. However, parents say those concerns will not slow down their effort and they remain driven to save lives. “I lost my son. I don't want somebody else to go through this tragedy. These are preventable deaths,” says Hein. 2357
The US economy added only 20,000 jobs in February, a surprisingly low number that bucked the trend of huge jobs gains in recent months.That was the fewest jobs gained in a month since September 2017.The unemployment rate fell to 3.8% as fewer unemployed people were looking for work. The Labor Department suggested that furloughed workers from the government shutdown returning to work also contributed to the the lower unemployment rate. 450

The PGA Tour has canceled the remaining three rounds of the PLAYERS Championship, and will not resume operations until April 5 at the earliest, according to a Tour announcement on Thursday. Earlier on Thursday, the PGA Tour announced that the final three rounds of the PLAYERS would be played without spectators. Golf is a unique sport in the sense that players can remain isolated from each other on the course. A fact that PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monohan was originally comfortable with. "We feel like we have, because of the nature of that and the fact that you've got 144 players here and over the course of a round our players generally do socially distance themselves, we felt like by taking this step to address the problem with our fans, we're in a position where we can continue to operate the events as of right now," he said. "And you look at there are other circumstances that led to the decisions that those leagues made that are unique to those leagues that we're not currently faced with. And that's something that we thought about and talked about, but ultimately when you break it down and you think about what's going to happen here over the course of the next three days and then going forward, we're comfortable having our players continue to play at this time.But by Thursday evening, the PGA Tour opted to follow nearly every other major pro and college sports organization amid the spread of coronavirus. "We have pledged from the start to be responsible, thoughtful and transparent with our decision process," the PGA Tour said in a statement. "We did everything possible to create a safe environment for our players in order to continue the event throughout the weekend, and we were endeavoring to give our fans a much-needed respite from the current climate. But at this point – and as the situation continues to rapidly change – the right thing to do for our players and our fans is to pause."PGA Tour star Rory McIlroy said after the decision was made to ban fans, but before the decision to cancel the remaining rounds, that he was not surprised to see golf being kept away from fans. "I think when you look at Europe and they, you see what they have done there, especially Italy, obviously the northern part was on lockdown earlier this week and then obviously now it's all of Italy. Every school and university has been shut in Ireland. So not surprising, given what's happened over there. I think it's just to try to curtail this and try to stop it spreading. I thought it was the right move," he said. Four other upcoming tournaments were also impacted by the decision. The next tournament on the PGA Tour's calendar is its signature event The Masters, which starts April 9. 2722

Thousands of islands dot the Pacific Ocean between Asia's southern coast and Australia, and the people who live on them have stayed mostly isolated from the digital age.The assumption by many internet providers is that "there's not many people there, they don't need connectivity, and there's not a lot of money," Christian Patouraux, the founder and CEO of satellite startup Kacific, told CNN Business.Patouraux said he knows that to be false.Six years ago, he founded Singapore-based Kacific after he saw a market analysis that showed the Asia-Pacific region is starved for internet access, and people are willing to pay for it.Now, they are several steps closer to getting that access. On Monday evening, a SpaceX rocket launched Kacific's first satellite from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Patouraux said it could soon bring consistent internet connections to as many as 1 million people for the first time.Internet for islandersThe biggest obstacle to extending broadband across the Asia-Pacific is one of topography: Broadband is delivered primarily by copper or fiber optic cables, including some that stretch under the Atlantic Ocean. They're 1178
