 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May ​28, yet U.S. military flights into Nanyuki continued in the days that followed, according to data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24.

A VIRGINIA FATHER LOST HIS LIFE AFTER THE KAYAK HE AND HIS 6-YEAR-OLD SON WERE IN, CAPSIZED. NEITHER FATHER NOR SON WERE WEARING LIFE JACKETS AT THE TIME. (PHOTO).


   A Virginia father lost his life after the kayak he and his 6-year-old son were in, capsized. Neither father nor son were wearing life jackets at the time. 


With the weather warming up, this sadly serves as a reminder to wear life vests while out on the water, even if you can swim. 


Thankfully, an unidentified good Samaritan entered the water with his boat and was able to get the child to safety.  


35-year-old Andrew  Knight lost his life on the evening of Tuesday, April 7th, when his kayak overturned about 50 feet from shore. He tried to save his son. 


The incident occurred around 8:05 p.m. at Lake Anna near Mineral, Virginia. According to reports, Andrew was trying to push the kayak back to shore when he slipped beneath the water and never resurfaced.


The young boy's grandfather David Drake had this to say about the good Samaritan, "If it wouldn't have been for him, I would have lost my son-in-law and my grandchild because my grandchild was under the water, and he reached down and grabbed him and pulled him up. 


According to reports, several bystanders entered the water to attempt to rescue David but were sadly unable to locate him.


A dive team from Spotsylvania County was ultimately dispatched to the scene.

David was recovered about one hour into the search and pronounced deceased on scene.


Our thoughts are with the family of David Knight and his untimely passing.
