Days after news broke that a United Airlines passenger's dog died after being forced to be stored in a plane's overhead compartment, TMZ has reported that the airline company could be mandated to pay more than $25,000 in punitive damages for animal abuse as a result of the incident.

Five people were killed in a helicopter crash in New York's East River on Sunday night, according to CNN. The pilot of the helicopter was reported as the sole survivor.
