Once, trains chugged right through the heart of Kalispell, making it a bustling railroad hub and commercial center in Northwest Montana. A spur line linked the town to Somers on Flathead Lake, where passengers and freight moved daily between Kalispell's Great Northern Depot and the steamboat terminal. Though the trains stopped running decades ago and the tracks removed, their impact still echoes today. At the Northwest Montana History Museum, visitors can now step back in time through a detailed model railroad display as part of an exhibit highlighting the region's timber industry roots. Find out about the volunteers who made the display happen with Daily Inter Lake's story Traveling Back in Time.

Den 1 oktober 2017 samlades tusentals människor under den varma natthimlen i Las Vegas för att avsluta en stor countryfestival. Stämningen var glädjefylld – tills en ensam man på 32:a våningen i ett närliggande hotell började skjuta mot folkmassan. Först trodde många att det var fyrverkerier, men panik utbröt när verkligheten stod klar. Händelsen blev den dödligaste masskjutningen i modern amerikansk historia. Detta är Konsertkatastrofer del 3: Masskjutningen i Las Vegas. ----------Ljudklipp kommer från:Youtubekanalerna: Las Vegas Review-Journal, PalmBeachPost, Global News, 8 News Now, CBS Morning, Jimmy Kimmel Live & Jason Aldean.----------Vill ni skicka dricks/en slant och bjussa på några koppar kaffe så kan göra det här: https://buymeacoffee.com/crimepodden
