School Bus Filled With Children Crashes Violently Into A Residential Home HOLY S#!T Via 6ABC The owner of a Blue Bell home that was hit by a school bus on Tuesday morning said the crash came terrifyingly close to becoming a tragedy. The bus smashed through a front room of a home at 7:45 a.m. in the 100 block of Windermere Drive. “We were in that room five seconds before,” said homeowner Jill Lafferty, who was in the house with her husband and one of her daughters. Lafferty says she still cannot believe that everyone in her family walked away from this uninjured, especially consider how close she and her daughter were to the point of impact. “The force was so great, it pushed both of us to the floor. It sounded like an explosion,” she said. “I literally thought there was a gas leak and something exploded downstairs. The scene after a school bus slammed into a home in Blue Bell, Pa. The driver of the school bus may have suffered some kind of medical issue before the crash. Police say they were told by the St. Helena School students on board that the driver started hyperventilating and then hit the gas before the crash. Wow… “The bus driver looked absolutely lethargic, he was completely out of it. He said ‘I don’t remember, I don’t remember,’” said neighbor Craig Kalman. The driver was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. He is a 58-year-old male, and principal Sister Cathe Shoulberg said the driver is “loved by students and parents.” There were nine students on board at the time. I really is amazing that there was not a single injury in this incident. Flip the page to see more pics from the harrowing wreck. Images via 6ABC

Family of One Victim “Numb” By Their Loss; Preparing to Bury Son This Weekend Police arrested a man they say was one of the attackers in the stabbing of Nicki Minaj’s roadies. Philadelphia Police believe Pierce Boykin , 31, stabbed Eric Parker several times outside of the Che Bar and Grill last week after an argument. Parker, 27, was still in critical condition Tuesday, Philadelphia Police told Bossip. Cops picked up Boykin Monday in Philadelphia, and he’s facing charges including attempted murder, aggravated assault, terroristic threats and simple assault. Police are searching for others involved in the senseless stabbing. They believe another man murdered Da’Von Pickett, 29, outside the bar, stabbing him several times in the torso. Meanwhile, Pickett’s family members told Bossip they learned of the arrest Tuesday morning, and his mother, Darcia, was “numb” from the loss of her only son. The mother insisted that her son was trying to protect a female bartender from the suspect’s posse’s unwanted advances, according to a relative. Pickett was escorting the woman to her car when the stabbers pounced. Pickett’s funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Feb. 28 at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Brooklyn.
The New Hope Baptist Church Helps Bobbi Kristina’s Grandmother Deal With Her Tragic Loss As Cissy Houston continues to keep a bedside vigil for her granddaughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, her church members told Bossip that she’s sought solace in the Lord’s house. Cissy Houston, 81, is a longtime, faithful member of the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ. Houston is often seen during services sitting in the church’s downstairs lounge, listening to New Hope’s head, the Rev. Joe A. Carter. She takes in services in private downstairs in order to not make a commotion. The Baptist house of worship is where her daughter, Whitney Houston , grew up, and where she was laid to rest almost three years ago. “She’s always here,” one New Hope member told Bossip. “Nine times out of ten, she’s here.” So dedicated is Cissy to New Hope Baptist, that she sang a solo for the funeral of the church’s oldest trustee the same week that she flew to Atlanta to be by Bobbi Kristina’s side. The church member told Bossip that Cissy’s devotion to the church is helping her deal with her daughter’s death and her granddaughter’s fragile state. “I guess that kind of helped relieve her,” the source, a longtime member, told Bossip. This Wednesday marks three years since Whitney Houston’s death. The Rev. Joe A Carter didn’t mention Cissy or Bobbi Kristina during Sunday’s sermon, or the one the week before, but parishioners acknowledged Cissy’s pride of place in the congregation. The close-knit churchgoers are fiercely protective of their most famous member. One member threatened a reporter Sunday who was asking questions about Cissy. The Rev. Carter did not return Bossip’s repeated requests for comment. Bobbi Kristina remains in a coma after a friend found her face down in her bathtub. Bizarrely, her mother died after being found in a bathtub in 2012. Meanwhile, Houston family cousin Dionne Warwick is continuing to recover from a nasty fall in the shower of her South Orange, NJ home. Warwick slipped Jan. 24, and underwent ankle surgery, recovering in the hospital for nearly two weeks. A source close to the singer told Bossip that she’s now at another medical facility, and Bobbi Kristina’s tub incident is still too raw for her to talk about. “It’s very, very personal,” the source quoted the singer as saying.
