NBC's Richard Engel Shares Heartbreaking Reaction to New Medical Breakthrough That Could Potentially Have Saved His Son
Richard Engel penned an emotional personal essay about the first-ever personalized gene-editing treatment, which potentially could have saved his son Henry's life The NBC News chief foreign correspondent announced with a post on X in August 2022 that he lost his son after a years-long battle with Rett Syndrome Engel is also a father to son Theodore, 5, whom he shares with his wife MaryRichard Engel candidly shared his emotions about a recent medical breakthrough. After reading a New York Times report about a baby being healed from a rare genetic disorder with the first-ever personalized gene-editing treatment, the NBC News chief foreign correspondent, 51, penned an emotional personal essay about how the new medical breakthrough could have potentially saved his son Henry's life, who died in 2022 after being diagnosed with Rett Syndrome. "I wished I could have broken the story with Henry as patient zero," he wrote in the essay published on TODAY. "I had imagined the roll-out too, coming back on the set of TODAY with Henry and his mother Mary, who has written about Henry's life and losing him for "We'd sit with Savanah Guthrie, who has been supporting ongoing research using Henry's cells, and talk — cautiously, hopefully and thankfully — about the progress we were seeing," continued Engel. "I allowed myself to imagine saying that Henry was starting to speak. He had been awakened, cured and reborn. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the studio." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "I never got to do that story about Henry. Sometimes our timelines don't overlap with scientific progress. They rarely do," he wrote. "Mary and I are full of nothing but joy that from now on, so many other families will be able to write new and wonderful stories of their own." The journalist first announced with a post on X in August 2022 that his 6-year-old son had died after a years-long battle with Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder that leads to severe physical and cognitive impairments and has no cure, according to the Mayo Clinic. Henry, whom Richard shares with his wife Mary, died on Aug. 9, according to a memorial page on the Texas Children's Hospital website. "Our beloved son Henry passed away. He had the softest blue eyes, an easy smile and a contagious giggle. We always surrounded him with love and he returned it, and so much more," Engel wrote, before giving another update in a follow-up post, "Researchers are making amazing progress using Henry's cells to help cure Rett Syndrome so others don't have to endure this terrible disease." Henry was first diagnosed with the disorder in 2017. Engel spoke to PEOPLE in January 2018 about his son's diagnosis, noting at the time that his son was "probably not going to walk, probably not going to speak, probably not going to have any mental capacity beyond the level of a 2-year-old." Months later, in October 2018, the journalist opened up in a candid essay for Today about his family's harrowing journey and his son's condition. At the time, Engel said it was getting "increasingly difficult" to help Henry keep active "because of basic physics," as the parents had to move their son constantly to help keep him engaged in his surroundings — something that led Engel's wife Mary to start "working out like mad" to keep up with the physical demands of parenting. is now available in the Apple App Store!

In August 2019, Engel and his wife welcomed another little boy, son Theodore, into their family and spoke with PEOPLE about the adjustment at home. Engel said that it would be "difficult" to watch baby Theo pass their son Henry, 3 at the time, with certain developmental milestones. "We know why there is this differential. And it's going to be hard to watch Theo pass his older brother in terms of capabilities," he said. "That's going to be very difficult for us to see. To see a 1-month-old very soon overcoming his almost-4-year-old brother … that's going to be tough." Read the original article on People

I tested the YETI Roadie cooler, and the rumors are true — it's practically perfect
The Yeti Roadie Cool Box is definitely one of the best coolers around today. Unfortunately, its whopping $200 (smallest size, 15 quarts) to $450 (largest size, 60 quarts) also makes it one of the most expensive coolers around today. Pricing aside, the Roadie range of coolers is excellent. I tested the 32-quart style, which is right in the middle of the size range. On top of keeping ice cold for days, it's also incredibly hardy, with super-smooth latches and a retractable handle. My favorite part of the cooler was, by far, the wheels. Even when I was dragging the (full) cooler along uneven cobblestones, I could barely feel the wobbly terrain. Spoiler alert: the Yeti Roadie cooler is my favorite cooler thus far. But if you want the full story, read on to find out all the details in this Yeti Roadie Cool Box review. Price $350 / £350 (32) Weight 24.5 pounds (32) Dimensions 19.8 x 20.1 x 20.6 inches (32) Capacity 15 / 24 / 32 /48 / 60 quarts Can capacity 22 / 33 / 50 / 76 / 98 Colors/Materials Various: I tested neon yellow / Injected polyurethane foam The Yeti Roadie Cooler (32) is a whopping $350 from Amazon U.S. and £350 from Amazon U.K.. Yeti also makes the Roadie in 15, 24, 48, and 60 sizes. The Roadie 15 cooler is $200 from Amazon U.S. and £175 from Amazon U.K.. The middle size, Roadie 24, is $250 from Amazon U.S. and £200 from Amazon U.K.. The Roadie 48 is $400 from Amazon U.S. and £400 from Amazon U.K.. Finally, the largest size, Roadie 60, is $450 from Amazon U.S. and £450 from Amazon U.K.. I tested the 32 version, however the functionality between sizes isn't massively different. There are some minor design changes, which I'll get into in the 'Design' section below. $350 makes the Yeti Roadie Cooler the most expensive cooler I've tested thus far. Comparatively, the Engel 19-quart Cooler is just $89, and the iconic Coleman Classic is $84 for a gigantic 70 quart capacity. As with all Yeti gear, the Roadie cooler range is a sight to behold. Everything about the Roadie is well-made, innovative, and trendy. The Roadie comes in a range of colors: I tested the limited-edition 'Firefly yellow', but there's also 'Navy', 'Sky blue', 'Charcoal', 'Wild vine red', 'Key lime' (my personal favorite), 'Big wave blue', 'Rescue red', and 'White'. The cooler itself is insulated with injected polyurethane foam and a tight gasket, however it's not leakproof. Yeti advises that you look into the Hopper Flip range of cooler bags (from $200) if you desire a leakproof cooler. There are a few minor differences between Roadie sizes: the 15 and 24 have a carry strap, whereas the 32 and up have a handle and wheels. Even though the wheels are great (and make the cooler very portable), I do think it's a missed trick not having any carry handles on either side of the cooler box. This would mean you can take the cooler up stairs or steep terrain more easily, assuming you have two strong people in your group. I really struggled getting this up and down the stairs in my apartment building. The retractable handle (Yeti calls this 'Periscope handle') is easy to control thanks to the release button on the underside of the grip. Once I had set it to my desired size, it didn't shrink or lengthen during transportation. That transportation was over pretty uneven terrain — cobblestones, stairs, ramps. I was amazed at how steady the cooler box stayed, even over bumpy cobblestones. The stabilization in the plastic wheels is second-to-none. I have no doubts that the Roadie would be smooth even over bumpy grasslands or sand. If you need a top-of-the-line cooler with blindingly long cool times, then I will direct you to the Yeti Tundra line of hard coolers. These coolers can keep items cold for up to a week with proper prep and usage (basically pre-cooling and then don't open it loads). Still, the Yeti Roadie is supposed to keep cold for around 2-3 days. It can stretch up to 5 days with proper preparing and usage, but I think that's an unrealistic test, as if you use the Roadie for camping trips, parties, or beach trips, you'll likely be opening it regularly and might not have time to pre-cool it. To reflect real-world usage, I put 13 pounds of ice and 20 cans inside the Yeti Roadie at 11am on Monday. I opened the cooler about every 2 hours and removed a can every 4 hours. On Thursday at 11am (so 72 hours after filling the cooler, while removing cans and opening the cooler regularly), it was still cold and some ice was still solid. I would have absolutely no reservations about taking this on weekends away or even 3+ day camping trips. I'll update this review when the cooler finally reaches room temperature, but it's not happened yet. Cleaning the Yeti Roadie is very straightforward, as it's effectively just a plastic box. There's a drain plug at the rear in the center of the handlebars, which made cleaning even easier. A drain tap is pretty commonplace on coolers: the Engel Cooler, Coleman Classic, and Igloo Marine Ultra all have drain taps too. Thankfully, Yeti sells a bucketload of accessories on its website. Ranging from cooler dividers, to reusable ice packs, to cup holders, all the way to… a plastic bull head. (Only compatible with Yeti Tundra coolers I mentioned earlier, unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your preference.) Yeti offers a 5-year warranty. This is the same as Engel's warranty and a massive 4 years longer than Igloo's comparatively weak 1-year warranty. Although it's expensive, the Yeti Roadie Cooler is the best cooler I've tested so far. It kept not just cold, but ice-cold for over 72 hours. Not only is it efficient at its sole purpose (chilling), it's also very attractive and easy to move. The cooler is also just well-crafted: the wheels somehow stabilize the cooler even on rugged terrain, and the latches are very slick and smooth. There was no pulling or overexertion from me, even when I stuffed the cooler to its max fill. If I could just have one cooler forever, it'd be the Yeti Roadie.

Fact Check: Don't be fooled by staged 'police bodycam' where white officer stops Black judge and 'lives to regret it'
Claim: Police body camera footage authentically shows a white officer pulling over a Black judge before smashing her taillight during a traffic stop. Rating: In mid-May 2025, YouTube channel Bodycam Declassified uploaded an eight-minute video, titled: "Cop Pulls Over Black Judge and Lives To Regret It." The video (archived) claimed to show police body camera footage of a white officer pulling over a Black judge before smashing her taillight during a traffic stop. In the video, a police officer purportedly from the city of Sunny Springs, Florida, approaches a black Mercedes. The officer makes remarks about the car being very nice and repeatedly asks whether the driver, a Black woman, owns it. After checking the driver's license and registration, the officer returns to the car with a citation for the driver, who he said drove five miles below the speed limit. The officer then covers his body camera and the sound of smashing glass plays. The driver gets out of the car and reveals she is a judge, before telling the officer she will see him in court. The video was popular (archived) on Instagram (archived), but also spread across Facebook (archived), X (archived), TikTok (archived) and Bluesky (archived). Snopes readers also messaged us to ask whether the video was true. However, further inspection of the video revealed it was staged. A logo on the door of the police cruiser seen in the video read "City of Sunny Springs, State of Florida." We found no proof in government archives or on online map services that the city of Sunny Springs existed in Florida, nor that it had a police force. The logo was an almost exact copy (archived) of the logo for Quincy Police Department in Washington state. The video was recorded in Miami, Florida. Another staged video (archived) with a similar plot line posted in 2023 was filmed in the exact same location. Additionally, one view of the car after the broken-glass sound shows that the taillight is intact. The YouTube channel Bodycam Declassified posted the 2025 video. The channel said in its description that "in some cases, we may reenact some elements to clarify key aspects of certain encounters." Given the above, we rate this claim false. We reached out to the channel to ask whether the video was real, meaning not staged, and await a reply. A logo for the company Axon, which makes body cameras, appeared in the top-right corner of the video. However, the watermark in the video used a different font than the one typically seen in genuine body camera footage from Axon cameras. Alex Engel, vice president of global corporate communications for Axon, said via email that she could not confirm the footage wasn't genuine, meaning not staged, because police footage recorded on Axon's cameras belongs to the departments that record it. However, Engel confirmed that the watermark on the alleged traffic stop video looked different from the ones that usually appear on Axon footage. Engel said: "The watermark doesn't look consistent with other watermarks, including a different font, which is not typical of Axon body cameras — the watermark is consistent across all cameras, except for date and model of the body camera." The alleged traffic stop video was recorded at 127 N.E. 27th St. in Miami. A yellow building with two white garage doors could be seen at 0:20 in the video, and a white building with slim, vertical windows could be seen at 6:50. Another YouTube channel that posted a video with a similar plot line in 2023 recorded their video at the same location. That video also shows a yellow building with the text "Miller Machinery Supply," located at 127 N.E. 27th St. The 2023 video was clearly staged and credited actors in the video description. The plot line of the videos appeared to be popular around May 2025 — we found two more videos posted that month depicting the same general plot line, though those videos used visuals that appeared to be generated by artificial intelligence, rather than actual footage at a real location.
