CBSN
It's usually a serene two-and-a-half-hour ride on Japan's famously efficient bullet train. But the journey quickly descended into a zombie apocalypse, with passengers screaming in terror.
Organizers of Saturday's adrenaline-filled trip, less than two weeks before Halloween, touted it as the "world's first haunted house experience on a running shinkansen."
Aboard a chartered car of the shinkansen — the Japanese word for bullet train — were around 40 thrill-seekers, ready to brave an encounter with the living dead between Tokyo and the western metropolis of Osaka.
More than a dozen Palestinians, including children, were killed Thursday in an Israeli airstrike on a school in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, that was sheltering displaced people, the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said. The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that it had struck "a compound that previously served as the 'Abu Hassan' School," where it said "dozens of terrorists from the Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations were present."
