The Northwest braced for blizzards Friday night. Icy roads created from storms this week paralyzed much of the greater Seattle, Washington area, where schools were closed and bus routes were suspended Friday as roads were too icy to navigate. Two charter buses carrying 80 people that collided and skidded off a road were pulled to safety. The buses crashed through a metal railing and hung precariously over Interstate 5 for several hours before two trucks pulled them back on the road. The snowfall closed the airport for several hours and cut into local business hours for retail shops during the busiest shopping season of the year.

Hundreds of emergency workers combed the site of a five-story apartment building in southern Ukraine Thursday after a series of explosions reduced it to rubble, authorities said. The blasts Wednesday night in the Black Sea resort town of Yevpatoria left at least 17 people dead and 24 others missing, according to Igor Krol, a spokesman for the Ukraine?s Emergency Situations Ministry. 21 people have been rescued. “We are now investigating all possible reasons for the explosions,” Krol said. VolodymiyrShandra, the Ukrainian Emergency Situations minister, told local media that oxygen canisters being stored in the basement of the building could have triggered the blasts. Television footage showed the rescuers trying to free people buried underneath fallen debris, while others scrabbled through wires, construction rods and boulders.
