Woman declared dead by coroner, moved to coffin, turns out to be alive
A woman declared dead by the coroner after her husband found her unresponsive in bed was being placed in a coffin when morticians made a startling discovery — she was very much alive.
The horrifying tale from the Czech Republic unfolded when an 88-year-old woman, who was thought to be dead, showed signs of life in her coffin.
According to Blesk.cz, the husband of the woman thought to be deceased called the Pilsen emergency services to potentially help his wife.
The husband told the emergency dispatch that "she didn't move, she didn't breathe," according to the report.

The coroner also confirmed the woman's death and undertakers were called to move the body into the coffin.
The husband also told Blesk that "the workers transferred her to the coffin, and when they were right here in the apartment in the hallway by the door, they found out she was alive."

An ambulance arrived shortly after, and the woman was transported to the hospital.
While this may seem like something out of a horror story, this rare medical occurrence has happened before.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, it's known as the Lazarus Effect.
Named after the biblical story of Jesus raising Lazarus back from the dead, this usually occurs after CPR ends.
Typically, this happens after a cardiac arrest occurs and CPR is administered to the patient.
This medical phenomenon occurs after the patient is clinically pronounced dead.
Some time later, the patient will begin to show signs of life and must continue to show these signs for more than a few seconds.
According to the National Institutes of Health, there have been 74 confirmed cases in the U.S. from 1982-2022.
It is still unknown how or why the Lazarus Effect happens.Original article source: Woman declared dead by coroner, moved to coffin, turns out to be alive

American Airlines plane that caught fire had engine parts installed incorrectly, NTSB finds
The American Airlines flight that caught fire soon after taking off from Denver International Airport in March had several parts installed incorrectly and fuel leaks, according to a preliminary report released Thursday. The Dallas-bound aircraft had one loose part inside the right engine installed in the wrong direction and fuel leaking from the fitting of another part that was also fastened incorrectly, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report. Soon after the plane took off, the crew noticed issues with the right engine, the report said. American Airlines Passengers Evacuate Flight On Wing Of Plane After Landing In Georgia, Video Shows "The captain noted high engine vibration indications for the right engine," the report stated, while the crew discussed whether they needed to divert before contacting American Airlines dispatchers. They landed safely, but soon after arriving at a gate, passengers and crew members noticed fire and smoke filling the cabin. Images and video showed passengers evacuating the aircraft and standing on the wings of the plane. Read On The Fox News App "One of the flight attendants tried calling the flight crew" while another "knocked on the cockpit door to alert the flight crew," the report said. The NTSB report also showed streaks on the outside of the engine from the leaking fuel. The plane was towed to a hangar for examination. Delta Passengers In Orlando Evacuate Plane Due To Engine Fire During an inspection of the damage, investigators saw that the plane "exhibited heat/smoke/burn indications near the right engine nacelle, right wing, right side of the fuselage aft of the wing, the right main landing gear, and the right main landing gear wheel well," the report said. In addition, "the lockwire of a fuel fitting on the variable stator vane (VSV)" was loose and installed in the incorrect direction, in addition to other issues. Further examination of the engines found that one fan blade platform was fractured, according to the report. Another part of the plane that controls airflow through the turbine's compressor was found to be "incorrectly fastened and secured … allowing fuel to leak from the fitting."

'Celebrate Jesus' event set for Saturday, June 7, in Grand Forks
Jun. 5—GRAND FORKS — Families, friends and people of all ages are invited to participate in the "Celebrate Jesus" event Saturday, June 7, in downtown Grand Forks, said Joe Chine, coordinator. Part of a worldwide celebration taking place that day, the event will include a community walk, starting near Grand Forks Central High School, and ending with a worship rally at Town Square. Participants will gather at 10:15 a.m. in the high school's parking lot at the intersection of University Avenue and North Fifth Street. Beginning at 11 a.m., the walk will feature music, singing, vehicles, banners and signs. Several vehicles will display "Celebrate Jesus" banners and broadcast music as participants walk east on University Avenue and south on Third Street to Town Square. A wagon will be available for anyone who has mobility issues and would prefer to ride. "It's a fun, nice, easy kind of thing," said Chine, of Grand Forks. The rally, beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Town Square, will include worship, fellowship, prayer, salvation opportunity and food. Scott Rhinehart of Grand Forks will serve as MC. Several speakers, including pastors, will offer encouraging words; prayers for the Grand Cities, the states of Minnesota and North Dakota, the U.S. and the world; and an opportunity for salvation and rededication, Chine said. "Prayer stations" will be available for individual prayer and counseling. The "Celebrate Jesus" event — held for the fifth time in Grand Forks — does not focus on or promote a specific church or faith denomination, Chine said, but rather is "an opportunity to praise the name of Jesus" in a family-friendly atmosphere. It is intended to bring together various churches, organizations and neighboring communities to exalt Jesus Christ "outside the walls of church and organizational buildings," according to the event announcement. "(The goal is to) foster a sense of community and shared faith, bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds to honor Jesus. The day is filled with joy, music, unity and fellowship that transcends denominational boundaries." Nationally and internationally, the event has been known as "March for Jesus," Chine said, and was first held in Texas in the early 1990s. In 2023, the local organizational team changed the name to "Grand Cities Celebrate Jesus" to better reflect "a more family-friendly, community-friendly" purpose, he said, but it remains part of the March for Jesus organization. The team includes members from about 10 churches, as well as nonprofit organizations and businesses. Funds for the event are raised through charitable donations, partnerships, church registrations and the sale of t-shirts and caps. Similar events are expected to be held in about 30 cities across the U.S. and in eight other countries, Chine said. Grand Forks and Bemidji are the only cities in North Dakota and Minnesota, respectively, to hold such a gathering. "It's really a unique event from a Christian perspective," he said, "but it's so difficult to get people to want to put in the time and effort, and get away from their comfort zone." Each year, "Celebrate Jesus" is held on Pentecost weekend in the church calendar. In the Christian tradition, Pentecost marked the birth of the church and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to all nations. .
