TransAsia crash: The lucky 15 that survived - including 2yr old boy

A TransAsia airways plane carrying 58 people crashed into a river this morning just three minutes after it took off in Taipei, Taiwan, and 15 people miraculously survived the crash, including a 2 year old boy. The 15 were pulled from the wreckage of the plane by rescuers, 43 others are either dead or missing. Sad. The little boy who was rescued wasn't even seriously injured. See the pics after the cut..

See what a man allegedly did to his wife (photo)

Got this pic on my whats-app but wasn't able to get much details. The sender claims this woman's husband did this to her. Apparently this photo is being passed around on BlackBerry. They say her name is Yejide and her husband allegedly attacked her with an iron belt after suspecting her of infidelity. When I asked how a belt can do that to her body, they claimed it's because of the cream she uses, it left blood clot all over her skin (if that makes any sense). Anyone know who this woman is? What really happened to her?
