On Monday two astronauts did the first spacewalk of their eleven-day mission.
German astronaut, Hans Schlegel wasn't feeling one-hundred percent upon arrival at the ISS and missed his first space walk. He was well enough to go out on Wednesday.
This started out as a very cold week with snow, wind, ice and many school closings. For some of those people who had to go out - it was a nightmare. In Pennsylvania, a sixty car pile-up caused much grief and major delays on a highway. A thirty-six car pile-up occurred in upper New York. Two buses were sent to the scene to keep people warm while the accidents were sorted out.
Many of the millions stranded in China last week because of the severe weather are migrant workers...young people, who set out to build a better life. For them, Chinese New Year's reunions hold special meaning. Dan Rivers followed the journey of one migrant worker who did make it home after days of delays--- to a very happy and relieved family.
It was "the" top national treasure. Now South Koreans are mourning the loss of a more than 600-year-old landmark. Fire has destroyed the wooden structure at the top of a gate that once formed part of a wall around Seoul. In a matter of hours, Namdaemun, the majestic gate symbolizing the country's thousands year old culture was crippled, torn apart by a raging fire that started Sunday evening. Koreans awoke to the news that their historic landmark was gone. As Sohn Jie-ae reports, South Korea is a nation in shock.
