. >> because there senl 140 characters. >> if you want "the new york times," go to the new york times times. but if you are on facebook everybody is trying to find you. you don't have to take the extra step of figuring out more. >> so let's talk about what kind of quote, unquote news is being consumed. you have the top 15 most engaging articles according to huff post on facebook and it is things like 109-year-old women gives a remarkable reason for her long life. the likely cause after digs is discovered and it is not -- of addiction is discovered and it is not what you think. i was pleasantly surprised they weren't celebrities, here is what kim kardashian or kanye west said and uplifting stories but not hard news. >> you will not find an a-1 at the new york times. but one of the principals on facebook which is the home for news for today and for the foreseeable future is 30 ways to know you are 30 years old. and this woman that could be my neighbor and the stories do sound like the back of a community newspaper, like the fun stories that aren't at all international or -- >> like what

more "action news" when we come back, but the latest on the breaking news out of new york city we have just learned that 12 people in total are injured and three critical after an explosion in the east village section of 2nd avenue at east 7th street. >> 12 injured, three critically. we are told we are looking to see if there are evacuations as well as injures. the scene here is from lower manhattan and the latest. ? the sight of a wild lynx in a shopping center would inspire people to run but one woman did the opposite. >> what is up buddy come here. come here. >> beth ann col burg followed it and documented it on her cell phone at one point the big cat turned and stared directly at beth the bold approach ended when the animal wandered into the woods and no one was hurt. >> that happened in canada and it would not happen here. health check at 4:00, simple patience could mean getting fewer calories when eating rice, they found that adding a tea spoon of coconut oil and refrigerating it for 12 hours cuts the calories and starch in half and the calories don't increase if you reheat it. >

there's a place in new york city called the guys. considered by many to be the one of the best food trucks in all of new york city. but we needed to get my chicken and rice from new york city up to cnbc world headquarters in new jersey. they responded back. and they said it's going to cost about $90. but the problem was, i was number 24,881 or something in line. so chew on this the delivery charge is $90. the vip package to help me skip the thousands of people in front of me is another $50, bringing my grand total to $140 for this one delivery. $140, and yes, we got our food. but we paid 140 bucks for what normally costs $7 at the guys. how much money do you actually have to make to make this kind of a deal worthwhile? what's to keep anybody else from doing the same kind of business model, and then just competing with you on price? but let's be honest. all of this company really needs is enough of a client list and enough sales momentum to have some other company come in and buy them out for a price tag with a ton of zeros behind the

or the "supplemental nutrition assistance program" in late 2013; because of that, the new york common pantry, one of the largest in new york - serving 3 million meals annually, reports a 26% increase in recipients in the last year. new york ranked 4 in a recent survey of cities around the globe with the highest percentage of millionaires. joel berg, who heads the new york coalition against hunger says, as the city gets wealthier, demand at the 1000 plus food kitchens he represents is only increasing. >> well when neighborhoods gentrify, the demand goes up because rent is the single greatest cost that low income people face and if they can't afford to pay rent, they can't afford to buy food. >> and with less government aid for food, the strain is on charities to fill the void and depend on donations to keep feeding new york's hungry. >>> saudi war planes bomb shia houthi targets in yemen for a second night. the houthi response is absolute did hefee identify's. >>> hello and al jazerra head quart in other words doha. i am jane dutton. the police searched the home of a copilot who delibe

this is the sky garage building in new york. to be able to just drive in off the street and never, ever get out of your car before stepping into your kitchen... >> now, while some of the rich want a view of their car, others want a view for their car. this ferrari has a view of the empire state building 14 stories above manhattan. and sky-high views come with a sky-high price tag -- $20 million. but if the garage isn't enough to sell you, wait until you see what's inside. broker ryan serhant is giving us an all-access tour. >> duplex apartments in manhattan take up space with stairwells. so we said, "let's rip out the staircase, put a glass floor over it, with operable glass doors. >> show me how it works? >> sure. it's pretty simple. you ready? >> yep. >> so, now it's up, so we're gonna put it down. there's five pieces of glass, and they basically disappear into the floor. >> and how much did this whole thing cost? >> a significant amount. >> hundreds of thousands of dollars? >> oh, yeah. yeah. >> what the... the sky vault is g

monday, good night from new york.. neil: welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. and it is a story of the week that continues to leave all other stories in its wake. a plane crash a suicide pilot a frantic captain. 144 terrified passengers and 5 crew members can you hear screaming on tape knowing the end is near. maybe because we all fly, maybe because of 9/11. maybe because of so many scary sky incidents since. what happens up there grips us all down here. why terrorists are targeting planes and why authorities keep beefing up security measures for those planes. when something like this happen, everybody stops if for no other reason than to consider the random nature

david, let me start with you in new york. based on what we have heard today, that officials say they believe this co-pilot locked the door on the captain, they believe this co-pilot deliberately set a course sending this plane into the side of a mountain do you see any other possibility this was done purposefully? >> there's no evidence to the contrary at this point. we can speculate about what might have happened here or might have happened here but no matter what we do it still comes back to the fact that that co-pilot did everything he could that we know of to keep the pilot from re-entering the cockpit and then descended the aircraft intentionally. i don't see any other possibilities at this point. >> charlie, you have listened to cockpit voice recorders again and again as an ntsb investigator including some cockpit voice recorders i believe for the september 11th attacks. what do you listen for in these recordings and what do you think they heard in this case which made officials so relatively certain that they know what
