Who says miracles don’t happen in real world. In what may turn several people into a believer, two babies have survived a tornado in Kentucky state of the US recently. &nbsp;&nbsp;

No, we are not kidding. In the recent tornadoes, 15-month-old Kaden and three-month-old Dallas, who had taken shelter in the bathtub with a blanket, pillow and Bible on last Friday, have miraculously survived the onslaught of the nature. &nbsp;

The tornado had ripped the bathtub out of the ground and tossed it into the yard, grandmother of the children said. &nbsp;

When the tornado struck, the house, which is located in Hopkins county, started shaking, said the grandparent, Clara Lutz. &nbsp;&nbsp;

“Next thing I knew, the tub had lifted and it was out of my hands. I couldn’t hold on. I just – oh my God. All I could say was, ‘Lord please bring my babies back safely. Please, I beg thee’,” Lutz told WFIE-TV. &nbsp;

Lutz, whose house was stripped to the foundation, got hit in the back of the head by the water tank of the tub. &nbsp;

In miraculous save, two babies in US survive tornado by sheltering in bathtub

The sudden and tragic death of Sridevi Kapoor, Bollywood&#39;s first female superstar and beloved to millions of Indians, has sent shockwaves across the country. But barely hours after the news of Sridevi&#39;s death broke out during the early hours of February 25, speculation over what led to her untimely death drove Indian news channels to turn reporting the event into a grotesque circus, from spinning wild conspiracy theories to scrutinising the state of her marriage.

The initial rumours, despite there being no official statement from the Dubai police or the Kapoor family, were that Sridevi succumbed to a cardiac arrest while in a bathtub.

It all started with a viral Facebook post attributed to one Piyali Ganguli began doing the rounds on Whatsapp. In the post, Piyali claimed that Sridevi&#39;s implants, weight loss and excessive doses of Botox shots could&#39;ve been the cause of the cardiac arrest.

When reports rubbished claims of a cardiac arrest and declared that Sridevi&#39;s death was caused by drowning and that her body contained traces of alcohol, news channels were quick to suggest foul play. TV channels lost no time in gathering multiple so-called experts to speculate about the late actress&#39; alleged botox injections, her wine consumption patterns and analysing bathrooms and bathtubs.

While Hindi news channel Aaj Tak decided to recreate the scene of her death, with the bathtub reading &#39;Maut Ka Bathtub&#39; or &#39;The Bathtub of Death&#39;, the English news channel CNN News 18 thought it to fit to photoshop a comatose Sridevi in a bathtub.&nbsp;Hindi news channel ABP News added a red-wine glass with Sridevi&#39;s portrait above it as details.
