Dramatic footage released by the U.S. Navy shows a close call earlier this year on the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Things nearly tued deadly Tuesday night on “America’s Got Talent.” Ryan Stock, a Canadian daredevil and sword swallower, was fortunate to walk off the stage after being shot in the neck with a flaming arrow — by his fiancee. Amber Ly Walker was supposed to hit an approximately eight-inch target held in the Canadian stunt man’s mouth, but things didn’t go quite as plaed. The mishap, televised live on NBC, left judges Howie Mandel, Mel B., Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell in shock as Stock appeared to gag and cower in pain. “I’m OK. It got my shirt. I’m OK,” he eventually assured the silenced crowd. But that wasn’t enough for judge Howie Mandel who urged the contestant to seek medical attention. [e...

DEVELOPING: Fox News projects that New York businessman Donald Trump will overwhelmingly beat Texas Senator Ted Cruz in the Hoosier state’s Republican presidential primary, with Fox exit polls and early vote tallies giving the businessman a 20-point lead. The victory significantly improves Trump’s chances of amassing the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the Republican presidential nomination this summer in Cleveland. With just nine states remaining in the nominating process, the stop-Trump wing of the Republican Party appears to be rapidly ruing out of options. On the Democratic side, it is too early to project a wier in the contest between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermo...

Though the victory appears to be a narrow one, Clinton is hoping the win will serve to undercut Sanders' momentum as they head next into several delegate-heavy contests. With 53 percent of precincts reporting in Nevada, Clinton has 52 percent to Sanders' 48 percent. Each benefited from a different set of constituencies. Entrance polls showed Clinton held the lead among the state’s influential union voters, with 56 percent going for Clinton and 43 percent going for Sanders. ...
