TWO PLANES GO DOWN OFF LOS ANGELES COAST.

2 aircraft have gone down off Los Angeles coast according to CNN report.

Details are still unclear but,a local fisherman reported a downed aircraft to the Coast Guard just after 3 p.m. local time -- the same time the Federal Aviation Administration reported seeing two planes on radar disappear, Capt. Jennifer Williams said at a news conference on Friday.

"We are speculating to some degree that there were two aircraft, but it would be unusual for one just to go down with that amount of debris field," Williams said.

Authorities discovered a log book that helped them identify one of the planes and people on board -- two men, ages 61 and 81.

Another plane, believed to be piloted by a 72-year-old woman, was expected to arrive at Torrance airport earlier Friday but never showed, Williams said.

One of the aircraft was a Beechcraft and the other was a Super Decathlon, a plane that's often used for aerobatic stunts.

Dozens of officials from various federal and local authorities are conducting what the Coast Guard is still classifying as a rescue operation.

"We don't want to give up on anybody that potentially is out there," Williams said. "It's cold water, but it is possible to survive in those temperatures."

Diving operations were suspended at sunset, but are expected to resume in the morning.

"In the morning, after our first-light search by helicopter, we will have to reevaluate where we are with the search, whether or not it's feasible that someone could survive that long and perhaps transition to another type of search," Williams said.

Based on brief conversations with family members, Williams believes the pilots were experienced. All three of the missing people are from Southern California.

The incident occurred near the community of San Pedro, south of downtown Los Angeles and just west of Long Beach.

SURVIVOR OF EL-SHABAB SOMALIA BEACH ATTACK NARRATES HER ORDEAL.

A Survivor of the Somalia beach attack,narrates how she and her only brother escaped death from the hands of Al-Shabab on January 21st.

Story below as reported by BBC.

Then they started breaking down a section of the wall near the window.

First, they told those who were wounded and the women to come forward. They kept telling us to come to them, but we were still in shock and didn't know what to do.

Then one of the special forces team, whose face was covered, raised his hand and asked me to come.

He had a gun in one hand and he pushed my hand, asking me to move forward.

He pulled my body and forced me to come out of the building.

When I got outside, I checked my body to see whether I was injured or not.

Luckily I was okay, except the pain throughout my body from when I had fallen down onto the floor, and people had trodden on me as they rushed to escape.

I was covered in shards of glass. The sounds of bombs and gunfire was fresh in my mind.

Then, they told me "yes" - my brother Eyman was safe.

I thought of the brave soldier who had chosen to risk his life in order to save us. The attack was still going on while the soldier was rescuing us, and we could hear the sounds of bombs and bullets all around.

I owe my life to this soldier and if I had seen his face or knew his name, I would try to find him so I could thank him personally for what he did.

I give my thanks to Allah, and to this solider who helped me survive the attack.

The soldier was so kind, professional, compassionate, committed and determined to save our lives.

I know that his mission was to save people trapped in the restaurant, and every girl or boy that he saved was also his duty, but my feelings of gratitude and appreciation are so deep.

So if you are reading this article, know that you are a brave soldier and only Allah can repay your sacrifices to humankind.

MAN SHOCKED TO SEE WIFE AFTER ASSASSINS CONFIRMED SHE WAS DEAD.

Wonders shall never end!

A woman in Australia reportedly crashed her own funeral after escaping from the hitmen that her husband hired to kill her.

The incredible tale, reported by the BBC, began a year ago in Burundi, where Noela Rukundo had gone to attend her stepmother's funeral.

What she didn't know, of course, was that her husband had hired men in her native country to kill her. 

When she left her hotel room, she was kidnapped, but the gang members had a change of heart, refusing to kill a woman. 

They reportedly left her on the side of a road, with her husband believing that the murder had been carried out. 

Three days later, she returned to Melbourne, where her husband, Balenga Kalala, was hosting mourners after telling people she'd died in an accident. 

As mourners left the home, Noela sprung the surprise on her husband.

"Surprise! I'm still alive!" she told him, after he exclaimed that he had seen a "ghost."

Kalala was sentenced to nine years in prison for the plot, which he later confessed to in a recorded phone conversation with his wife.
