It's out of Tupelo, Mississippi.

A couple is thankful to be alive after an enormous log catapulted through their van windshield.

It happened after a log truck collided with another car and spilled its load.

Joseph Gale has a broken arm and his wife had to get 29-stiches in her head, but otherwise, they're okay.

The couple had just dropped off their children a few minutes before.

If you're an 'Angry Birds fan'... here's a story for you.

The 'Angry Birds' are heading into space and NASA is helping to test the game in zero gravity conditions.

Astronaut Don Pettit made a model of the birds and pigs aboard the International Space Station.

He then worked to calculate the trajectory of launching an angry bird in space.

The fun experiment was to celebrate the release of the latest version of 'Angry Birds' which will be available on March 22.
