Stolen Car Recovered 42 Years Later, Flight Crew Sickened By Odor, Rhawnhurst Home Invasion

Imagine finding your stolen car listed for sale on e-bay. Imagine finding it listed 42 years after it had been stolen. That's exactly what happened to Temple University alum Bob Russell who had his 1967 Austin-Healey stolen in Philadelphia in 1970 while visiting his then girlfriend Cyndy. Russell was browsing e-bay and found his car listed by a dealer in Los Angeles. With the help of Philly police, Bob Russell and wife Cyndy have their car back.

A US Airways flight from Charlotte to Rome had to be diverted to Philadelphia last night when 3 crew members got violently ill from an odor in the cabin. 176 passengers were removed and placed on another plane that left Philly about 3 hours later. Four crew members were hospitalized and released. No word yet on the source of the problem.

An 86 year old woman was attacked in a home invasion in Rhawnhurst last night. The attack happened in the Meadowview Apartments on Algon Avenue. The victim who is bedridden was able to activate her life alert system before losing consciousness. She remains in serious condition. Police are looking for leads.

Sports
The 76ers picked up forward Dorell Wright from the Golden State Warriors and are sending Lou Williams to his hometown Atlanta Hawks.

Weather
Sun and clouds mix today. High 87 in Philadelphia.
