It started out as just another day for Debbie Dills, but that quickly changed. Debbie was running late Thursday morning on her way into work at Frady’s Florist in Kings Mountain, N.C., but she was actually right on time…to help police catch the alleged Charleston church shooter.
Dills and her boss, Todd Frady (both pictured above), made the initial calls around 10:35 a.m. that led to the arrest of suspected shooter Dylann Roof in Shelby, according to local reports.
Dills had been following the news surrounding the tragedy that struck Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., the night before, and recognized the car and Roof’s bowl haircut when she passed him on the highway.
“I saw the pictures of him with the bowl cut. I said, ‘I’ve seen that car for some reason.’ I look over, and it’s got a South Carolina tag on it,” Dills said. “I thought, ‘Nah, that’s not his car.’ Then, I got closer and saw that haircut. I was nervous. I had the worst feeling. Is that him or not him?”
So she called her boss for advice.
Frady said he made a call to officer Shane Davis of the Kings Mountain Police Department, who relayed to Shelby Police that the suspect’s black Hyundai Elantra was traveling west on the highway.
Debbie sounds like a good christian. I bless the name of the Lord for using her to apprehend this evil young man.
A stowaway on a British Airways jet was found dead after falling on a roof as the plane approached London Heathrow Airport, authorities said Friday. According to a report by The Sun UK, a man believed to be South African fell to his death from a British Airways passenger jet as the plane approached Heathrow airport. The stowaway’s body was found on an office block roof of a retail company along a busy road in Richmond, South West London.
‘Police were alerted at 8.28am to reports of a suspected stowaway. A man, aged between 25 and 30, has been taken to West London hospital. Inquiries are ongoing to establish the man’s identity”
Mozambique immigrant Jose Matada died in a similar incident three years ago
In September 2012, a man from Mozambique fell to the ground in a suburban street in Mortlake, not far from Richmond, in an apparently similar incident.
The stowaway, later named as José Matada, was found in Portman Avenue, ten miles from the airport.
Police initially struggled to identify him but he was eventually identified using his mobile phone.
Detective sergeant Jeremy Allsup, from the Metropolitan Police, told his inquest that officers contacted a woman in Switzerland who had exchanged text messages with Mr Matada.
The woman told police Mr Matada had worked for her family as a housekeeper and gardener in South Africa and had spoken to her about travelling to Europe.
She told officers that although she had done nothing to facilitate his trip, she knew Mr Matada had ‘desired to travel to Europe for a better life’, Mr Allsup said.
Mr Matada died on his 26th birthday, with a single pound coin in his pocket, as well as currency from Botswana and Angola.
It is believed he would have fallen unconscious due to low oxygen levels and temperatures of -60C in the wheel recess of the BA76 Boeing 777 from Luanda, the Angolan capital.
Despite wearing only light clothes, a pathologist found he had survived most of the journey, but died before he fell to the ground.
Detectives initially believed Mr Matada was from Angola as he had the country’s currency on him when he was found in the street in Mortlake. But after analysing his phone, he was found to be from Mozambique
A study made in 2012 found at least 76 per cent of so-called ‘wheel-well stowaways’ die during their attempt.
Those that do survive tend to be on short-haul flights which stay at relatively low altitudes.
In one of the longest-distance known survivals, a stowaway got though a 4,000-mile journey from Hawaii to Los Angeles in 2000, but suffered severe hypothermia.
Experts say that if stowaways avoid being crushed when wheels are released, they fall unconscious at around 22,000ft as the oxygen level drops.
They will remain unconscious when the doors of the wheels reopen at around 3,000ft during the plane’s descent in to land, meaning they are unable to stop themselves falling.
Many of those who die attempting wheel-well stowaways freeze to death during the flight before dropping to the ground.

On top of that, he got stuck in the rough on the eighth hole, and his club went flying into the air after he struck the ball. Golf fans didn’t help the situation.
“Fox is airing a public execution of Tiger Woods golf game. #brutal #USOpen #ChambersBay,” one tweeted.
Another added: “One of the easiest U.S. Open courses of our lifetimes and Tiger Woods is 10-over thru 14 holes? This is just sad at this point.
“Tiger Woods should just stop golfing,” another added.
Maybe it’s time to pack up, Tiger? See the photos and how they mocked him below…
Face of evil!!! Look at his eyes! The 21 year old suspected of shooting dead 9 people at a South Carolina church on Wednesday night, Dylann Roof, is pictured above being escorted in prison stripes, chains, handcuffs & a bullet-proof vest onto a plane to be extradited from North Carolina to South Carolina.
Survivors of the massacre claim he sat in the room for over an hour before standing up and saying: ‘You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.’ before firing his gun. Thankfully, they have death penalty in South Carolina. More photos below…
