The 'Over the Edge' charity event challenges eager participants to raise more than $1,250 for young survivors of child sex and labor trafficking.
According to Gracehaven, the organization in charge of the event, the first one hundred and fourteen people to raise more than $1,250 earned a spot to rappel off the top of a building in the heart of downtown Columbus.

All money raised goes to Gracehaven, a central Ohio organization that helps survivors get the help they need. The organization also helps teach teens and adults how to recognize the signs of sex trafficking.
Those who have participated in years past still say they get nervous when approaching the edge of the skyscraper.
'You step out onto that roof and there's just a few butterflies in my stomach, but the pros at the top reassure me, 'hey we've got you,' says nine-time 'Over the Edge' repeller Paul Boyer.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the 'Over the Edge' fundraiser, and today's event raised 250,000 dollars.

Rare look inside the Longaberger Basket Building, an architectural marvel
NEWARK, Ohio (WCMH) — By many accounts, the iconic Longaberger Basket Building, former headquarters of the now-defunct basket maker and home products company, has reached cult status. Since closing to the world in 2016, passionate visitors have trekked to 1500 E. Main St. in Newark to take selfies and stand in awe of the architectural accomplishment. Sightseers say that part of the mystique of the seven-story basket-shaped edifice lies in speculation about how it could be used in its next life. The desolate appearance of its outside also drives curiosity about what it looks like on the inside. Digital creator Mark Soergel recently shared his experience with the structure when he received the opportunity of a lifetime to go inside and take photographs. Soergel reposted the story and pictures of what he described as a 'wild day' in a Facebook group called Liminal Photography. 'I made the trip down to shoot the old Longaberger Basket headquarters near Newark, Ohio, that has been sitting abandoned for years,' Soergel wrote in the caption. 'As I was about to head back to the car after peeking into the loading dock doors, a car rolled up and a guy put his window down and asked what I was doing … I told him I was just taking pictures and he offered to take me through the inside of this massive basket building!' Soergel went on to explain that the man he met was a retired local police chief who did security and maintenance for the owner. On his private tour, Soergel got to take the elevator up to the top floor, which provided 'great views.' He said the inside was 'eerie' with 'a lonely liminal vibe,' a big contrast to the bustling office building it once was, less than a decade ago. Ohio one of the worst states for lung health in America, according to recent analysis In an update to the post, Soergel noted that his impromptu guide was tasked with keeping a meticulous eye on the premises, checking for flooding and leaks in the ceiling. 'The basement at the loading dock where we went in has the BIGGEST sump pumps I have ever seen,' Soergel wrote. 'It is very near a river and the size of the building warranted a HUGE foundation, so … these pumps need to be working, hence the reason the power has never been shut off for as long as it has been empty.' Another reason the electricity has to stay on is because of one of the previous workplace's trademarks — the enormous 'basket' handles that sit over its roof. Soergel learned that those are 'heated to prevent ice buildup in winter,' which 'could fall off and damage or break the huge skylights.' Soergel said his chaperone shared some other fascinating information about the space, such as that turning it into condominiums or a hotel would be difficult and expensive, but not impossible, due to its plumbing configuration. 'The idea the man I talked to thought would be best is to open it up to small businesses, like an office park that could house all kinds of different places, including retail, office and possibly a cafe/restaurant (where the cafeterias used to be),' Soergel continued. 'There is a small movie theater, and a gym and a daycare area already there. I think this is a GREAT idea.' Pickerington schools to decide which levy to put on the November ballot The online creator was optimistic as he finished the account of his journey for fans of the architectural marvel. 'Hopefully, something comes of it, no matter what it is,' he said. 'Too cool and unique of a building to be just vacant.' He also warned others not to try to get in on their own. 'It is locked up tight with motion sensor alarms, so please don't try to sneak in,' he revealed. 'I just got lucky!!' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Dozens of Whales Found Stranded on Beach in Northern Iceland
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. More than 60 pilot whales were stranded on a beach near the northern Icelandic town of Ólafsfjörður, prompting an urgent rescue operation involving local emergency services and community volunteers. Rescue teams from the Tröllaskagi region and Akureyri were called out to respond to the mass beaching on June 21, according to Hinrik Wöhler, a deputy spokesperson for ICE-SAR (Icelandic Search and Rescue), reported the Iceland Monitor. A video of the scene was shared by TikTok user @charlotte_9877. The viral clip, which has garnered over 188,000 views since it was posted on June 23, shows the whales moving helplessly in shallow waters. Text overlaid on the video read: "Yesterday, more than 60 whales were stranded on a beach in a small town in northern Iceland … it was a serious situation, as the low water level prevented them from swimming back to the ocean and they were at risk of dying quickly." @charlotte_9877 What a day it was! I've never been so close to these animals before, and I truly hope I won't have to be again—and that they won't appear in the harbor anymore. From deep sadness and helplessness… to relief and hope, because they were saved! Huge respect to everyone who came to help so quickly. In today's world, we need more of these everyday heroes 🥹🥺 #iceland #savedwhales #olasfjordur #whales #icelandnews #northicelandwhales @Iceland @visitnorthiceland @whalewatching ♬ suono originale - swami Lára Stefánsdóttir, the regional manager of the search and rescue team Tindur in Ólafsfjörður, said the rising tide played a critical role in the rescue efforts. "It went incredibly well. I was very surprised when I arrived and saw 60 to 70 whales stranded on the shore—I thought it was unlikely we'd be able to do anything," Stefánsdóttir told RÚV, Iceland's national broadcaster. "But people quickly showed up and found a way to drag the whales back out." Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove is a professional wildlife and landscape photographer based in Iceland, who actively monitors such incidents. He told Newsweek the reasons behind whale strandings are complex and debated. "There is a lot of debate on why these kinds of beachings happen, and there are many possible causes," he said. "Over the years, there has been indication that sonar [sound navigation and ranging] has been influencing their navigating abilities." Van Nieuwenhove also pointed to environmental change as a potential factor. He said that "there's also an indication that climate change, influencing where the whale's food goes, may be a factor at play." Scientific research supports the idea that these events are not fully understood. A study published in the Marine Pollution Bulletin in December 2023 noted that "long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) are the most frequently stranded cetaceans in the world; however, the predominant drivers of these events are poorly understood." Stefánsdóttir told RÚV: "I didn't expect it, but every single animal made it back out. What condition they're in now or what will happen to them, I have no idea. But they all swam away." Text overlaid on the viral TikTok video credited the successful outcome to "the help of local services and people who jumped into the water to assist," noting that "every single whale was saved." In a caption accompanying the clip, the TikTok user wrote: "What a day it was! I've never been so close to these animals before, and I truly hope I won't have to be again … Huge respect to everyone who came to help so quickly. In today's world, we need more of these everyday heroes." While such large-scale strandings are uncommon in Iceland, Van Nieuwenhove said they are not unprecedented. "Large beachings like this are not common at all, but it has occurred in the past where pilot whales have either beached themselves or gotten themselves stuck in a fjord system," he said. "Very recently, an injured orca also beached itself near Reykjavík. It was rescued twice but shortly after beached itself again … after which it was euthanized. This animal was deemed to be sick or injured." Van Nieuwenhove added that, due to Iceland's sparse population along much of its coast, similar events may sometimes go unnoticed. "A lot of Iceland's coastline is uninhabited so in some cases, these events are perhaps not even noticed by people," he said.

Site of chemical leak offering compensation, set to reopen
MCARTHUR, Ohio (WCMH) – An explosives plant that was the scene of a chemical leak last week could resume production as early as Monday. In a letter sent to the residents of Zaleski, a small Vinton County village located about three miles from the plant, Austin Power said it has completed 'comprehensive inspections and safety evaluations,' and that it expected to resume operations this week, possibly Monday. Watch a previous report on the leak in the video player above. Tips sought in 2019 fatal shooting of man found in car 'This will only occur once we receive final clearance from the appropriate regulatory agencies and are fully confident in the safety of the site for both our employees and the surrounding community,' the letter reads. The company is also offering compensation for those who incurred costs due to the June 11 evacuation. 'If you incurred expenses due to the evacuation – such as hotel stays, gas, or other reasonable costs – we want to make that right,' the letter reads. Those who want to file a claim can reach out to the company by calling 216-839-5469 or email claims@ The plant, located in McArthur, Ohio, experienced a nitrogen oxide (NO) leak on Wednesday at its Red Diamond Plant when a chemical reaction inside a nitric acid storage tank 'led to the venting of nitrogen oxide gas,' the letter reads. Five-story apartment building nears construction in Franklinton 'While the nitric acid remained fully contained, we fully recognize the seriousness of what occurred and the inconvenience it caused our neighbors,' the letter reads. There were no injuries reported to plant employees or to residents, and the water and air in the surrounding area were safe to use. Symptoms from exposure to nitrogen oxide include skin, eye, and throat irritation. Some drowsiness is possible, according to officials. The evacuation lasted for approximately six hours, being lifted at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
