Cherelle "Evie" LaGrou, 18, was telling her mother on the phone that she was worried about the uneven terrain she was hiking when she fell 30 feet on an Alaskan mountain. Her mother could hear her scream as she fell. LaGrou survived with just a few minor cuts and was later rescued by state troopers.
All that is seemingly evil in this world—frat parties, drones, GoPro cameras being attached to things—have finally converged. The Sigma Nus at Ole Miss threw a "Woodstock Party" and there is now aerial footage of the proceedings, for whatever reason that needed to happen.
In a huge surprise, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor just lost his bid for the Virginia Republican congressional nomination to David Brat, the Tea Party candidate many pundits had no expectation of winning.

Caught overnight at Las Vegas' McCarran Airport with practically no one else around, Richard Dunn could have taken a cab back to the strip and partied until his flight in the morning. Instead, he whipped out his iPhone and made this gloriously cheesy music video for Celine Dion's 1996 cover of "All By Myself."

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign — or book tour, whatever — kicked off this week with a Diane Sawyer interview and a Hard Choices signing at the Union Square Barnes & Noble.
