Brady and Beckham celebrate Birmingham goals in win against Wrexham | Sport [Video]

Tom Brady enjoyed bragging rights over Wrexhams Hollywood owners as two goals from big-money summer signing Jay Stansfield earned Birmingham City a 3-1 victory at St Andrews on Monday night (16 September). Joining seven-time Super Bowl champion and Blues minority owner Brady in the stands was former England captain David Beckham, who saw Jack Marriotts early opener silence the stadium before Stansfield netted a double on his first home league start in front of 27,980 fans. Tomoki Iwatas stunner helped seal the points before Krystian Bielik was sent off late in the game. Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney was also spotted at St Andrew’s, but didn’t enjoy his evening as much as Brady did.

A 16-year-old girl from Topsfield, Massachusetts, is recovering from minor burns after a portable phone charger exploded, igniting a fire at her friends house on Saturday. Audra Cataldo was watching a movie with friends when her phone, which was magnetically attached to a portable charger, suddenly caught fire.”I looked downmy whole arm was covered in flame,” Cataldo said. “It hurt.”The flames scorched her sweatshirt and left small burns on her arm. A loud sizzling noise followed, and the back of the phone blew up. Thick black smoke filled the room, causing a panic among the teens.”We were afraid the house would go down too,” Cataldo said.Johannes Booy, the father of Cataldos friend, said the situation could have been far worse. If they were asleep in bed, it would have been catastrophic, he said. “They wouldnt have had time to get out.”The fire started in a bedroom where the teens were sitting on a mattress. According to Booy, the pillows on the bed melted like plastic. The girls managed to evacuate safely as firefighters arrived to extinguish the flames.Cataldo had been using a portable charger purchased on Amazon, which was plugged in at the time of the explosion. She said the experience was “pretty traumatic” and vowed not to use portable chargers again.Topsfield Fire Chief Jenifer Collins-Brown said firefighters quickly responded and the blaze was brought under control within 45 minutes, limiting the damage to around $5,000. The fire remains under investigation, with help from the Massachusetts state fire marshal’s office. Fire officials have issued safety reminders about the use of lithium-ion batteries, urging caution with portable chargers and other devices.”We commend the young people in the home for recognizing the danger, calling 911, and evacuating immediately,” Chief Collins-Brown said.

DISCREPANCY. WELL, TONIGHT, PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED FLOODING DURING FRANCINE SAY SEWAGE AND WATER BOARDS RESPONSE IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH. WELL, THIS COMES AFTER MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL GRILLED THE UTILITY FOR ITS LACK OF COMMUNICATION DURING THE STORM TODAY, WDSU. JONAH GILMORE IS LIVE WITH THE RESIDENTS. REACTIONS JONAH. WELL, SEVERAL PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE FED UP BECAUSE IT SEEMS THE FLOODING IS SOMETHING THEY CANT ESCAPE. THEY SAY ITS EVEN WORSE WHEN THEYRE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS IN A DESPERATE TIME, AND THE UTILITY IS NOT RESPONSIVE. THIS PATCH JOB HAS NEVER SUCCEEDED. LAKEVIEW RESIDENT KEITH DURHAM DESCRIBES SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD AS A MALFUNCTIONING UTILITY. THE SYSTEM IS IS FAULTY AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. HE SAYS HIS HOME HAS FLOODED FOUR TIMES AND THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION IS APPALLING. ITS UNACCEPTABLE AND ITS BEEN UNACCEPTABLE. ITS CONCERNING. THATS VERY CONCERNING. WE NEED TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON BECAUSE, LIKE, IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. NEW ORLEANS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS INTERROGATED THE COMPANYS LEADERSHIP, ASKING WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHY DOES IT KEEP HAPPENING? WEVE HAD A NUMBER OF EMERGENCIES, WHETHER THEYVE BEEN HURRICANE OR OUTSIDE OF HURRICANE SEASONS, AND SOME OF THESE ARE REPEATED MISTAKES. COUNCIL MEMBER HELENA MORENO SAYS THE BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THAT LACK OF COMMUNICATION, SOMETHING WDSU POINTED OUT DURING HURRICANE FRANCINE. WHEN THERE IS A LACK OF INFORMATION OR NO INFORMATION, THEN THAT LEADS TO ADDITIONAL WORRY AND CONCERN. ACCORDING TO SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD, THEY DID 24 MEDIA INTERVIEWS, HELD TWO PRESS CONFERENCES AND PROVIDED SEVEN PRESS RELEASES. CLEARLY, WE DID NOT MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN SOME INSTANCES, WE DIDNT MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE MEDIA. DURHAM BELIEVES THE COMMUNICATION WAS AN AFTERTHOUGHT, SOMETHING HE SAYS IS NOT SUFFICIENT WHEN FLOODING IS IMMINENT. I DID NOT SEE ANY UPDATES FROM SEWAGE AND WATER BOARD ON TELEVISION. NOW, OFFICIALS WITH THE UTILITY SAY THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY ACTUALLY IMPROVED THE COMMUNICATION, BUT RESIDENTS SAY NOT QUITE. THEY SAY THEY WOULD RATHER HEAR SOMETHING THAN NOTHING.
