Gamer attacks company HQ
A man deliberately crashed a car through the front doors of Korean game manufacturer Nexon, claiming that his addiction to the company's games had "ruined his life". The car shattered the glass doors of the building before coming to a stop in the lobby. The driver is a Chinese national on a three-month visa in Korea who used his brother's car in the attack. Authorities say he was over the legal alcohol limit at the time of the offence and does not have a driver's licence.
Man 'shatters feet' after hornet attack
A Washington man "shattered" both of his feet after being attacked by hornets. Ryan Larson told reporters he had climbed on the roof of his home with a high-pressure hose to clean it when he inadvertently triggered a "basketball-sized hornet's nest", leading the insects to attack him. His only escape was a 12ft jump from the roof, which resulted in injuries so bad it took two bouts of surgery to install screws, pins and plates to rebuild his feet.
