 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his.

PERTH COUPLE DROWN TRYING TO SAVE THEIR DAUGHTER AT POPULAR WA BEACH. (PHOTO).


 Perth couple drown trying to save daughter at popular WA beach. 


A husband and wife have made the ultimate sacrifice, drowning while trying to save their daughter in rough waters at a holiday hotspot in southern Western Australia.


A third person who tried in vain to save Perth couple Dr Mohamed Swapan and his wife, Sabrina Ahmed, was recovering in hospital last night.


The loving family of four's Christmas holiday with friends turned deadly at Conspicuous Beach, near Walpole, yesterday afternoon.


Authorities were called to the area, about 200 kilometres south-east of Margaret River, when three people got caught in a rip about 2:40pm (5:40pm AEDT).


"Those girls. Oh, my God, you know. I feel, you know, sorry," friend and colleague Ruhul Salim said.


Swapan, 44, and Ahmed, 40 traded their lives to save their youngest daughter, who got into trouble in the water.


A third man, 42, jumped in to save his friends. He survived but the parents couldn't be revived. 


"All three basically drowned in the water. Then the other people and the community over there, nearby people, they came over and pull out all three," Salim said.


The girls were headed back to Perth where it was hoped they would continue to live in WA with their maternal uncle. 


Their parents were respected members of Perth's Bangladeshi community.


"The community will seriously miss this couple," Salim said.

"There has been a huge, you know, the tribute and condolences, since, you know, yesterday."
