((Forty thousand young Muscovites were soaking up the sun and the music at a day-long rock festival when terror stuck.
Police say there were two female suicide bombers, each strapped with explosives. The women blew themselves up a few minutes apart right at the gate to the festival grounds, after security guards noticed their nervousness and refused to let them inside.
Bad as it was, had the women gotten into the packed concert, it would have been far worse.
"We were standing in line for tickets," said this young doctor. "And we heard the explosion. I saw several heavily wounded people, and even tried to deliver first aid."
"We saw particles in the air-I think they were metal and part of the bomb, because they were glittering in the sun" said this teenager. "After the first blast, the police stopped everyone and then the second bomb went off-and it was much bigger."
While no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, Russian officials say they've found the passport of one suicide bomber, and that she was a 20 year-old Chechen woman.

This would be the Chechens' first attack on the Russian capital since October, when a group of terrorists took more than 800 people hostage in a Moscow theater.
Chechen women took part in that attack, and in two other suicide bombings in and near Chechnya since May.

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Grundy/September 2001]

The move has been in the planning for years in hopes of protecting Grundy from recurrent flooding.
The town is located in a flood zone and continues to be plagued by rising waters from Levisa (Luh-VYE-suh) Fork river.
In fact, several times Grundy has nearly been swept away by flood waters.
Officials hope moving the town will also improve the local economy. Already several national companies have asked about moving to the new part of the town.
Grundy is relocating to the opposite side of the river onto a leveled mountainside. When construction is complete, the town will be three times its current size.
The fire station was the first to relocate a few days ago. But the project could take up to 10 years to complete and cost more than 250-million dollars.
Grundy is a town of 11-hundred.

The Covington Lumberjacks is playing its third ever season in the Shenandoah Valley League. The team plays 40 games over a two month span. The league is unique because all of the players are in college, trying to get a little work in the off-season. And to make it easier on the players, residents in Covington open up their doors, and host a player or two in their homes.
