Aoife Beary : Berkeley balcony collapse survivor dies, aged 27 Aoife Beary, a survivor of the 2015 Berkeley balcony collapse that killed six students, has died, aged 27. She died after suffering a stroke in the Irish capital, Dublin . Ms Beary had experienced life-changing injuries after a fourth-floor balcony collapsed in June 2015 while she was celebrating her 21st birthday . A later investigation found that joists supporting the deck were suffering from dry rot and had been constructed by a company with a history of complaints. In recent years she became an advocate for construction reform in California. Ms Beary and her friends had been visiting the US under the popular J-1 summer working visa programme when the tragedy struck . The balcony had been constructed by a company that had a history of legal claims against it and which it had not disclosed to the Californian state licensing board that regulates the building industry .

Aoife Beary was left with a traumatic brain injury, broken arms, hands, pelvis and jaw, as well as lacerations to her liver, kidneys and spleen, a collapsed lung and broken ribs. She later underwent open heart surgery . In 2016, she testified before the California state legislature during a hearing on legislation to force building contractors to be more transparent about past legal claims against them. During emotional testimony , she told legislators how she had lost much of her independence after the accident and that her c

Brady marched the Buccaneers (12-4) down the field on nine plays , zipping a pass to Grayson — who was elevated from the practice squad — for the go-ahead score. It was Brady's third TD pass of the game and 40th of the season, joining him with Drew Brees as the only players to throw for 40 touchdowns in consecutive seasons. He finished 34 of 50 for 410 yards, the three TDs and an interception for Tampa Bay , which had Arians back after he tested positive for the coronavirus earlier in the week. Le'Veon Bell ran in the 2-point conversion against his former team , forcing New York to need a touchdown. But the Jets (4-12) ran out of time. The game featured the largest age gap between starting quarterbacks since at least 1950, with the 22-year-old Wilson facing the 44-year -old Brady. The Jets took a two-touchdown lead on Ty Johnson's 1-yard run that capped their opening drive of the second half. After Brown's exit and Brady

Antonio Brown freaks out , leaves field mid-game EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Antonio Brown was kicked off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a bizarre, shirtless exit from the field before Tom Brady coolly led the Bucs on a 93-yard drive in the final minutes for a 28-24 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday. Coach Bruce Arians said after the game that Brown was off the team."He is no longer a Buc," Arians said. Brown's mid-game meltdown came late in the third quarter with Tampa Bay trailing 24-10. He appeared animated while talking to teammate Mike Evans when he stripped off his pads, jersey, gloves and T-shirt — tossing the gloves and T-shirt into the stands — and then walked bare-chested down the sideline and into the end zone. He then waved to fans as jogged through the end zone and into the tunnel at MetLife Stadium .
