A man is apparently taken by a shark off South Australia – Gunfire shatters a Syrian truce just as aid was taken to people cut-off for years by war – A loose boulder  smashes into a train with deadly results – and a lot more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs.

A shark apparently killed a diver off South Australia.  It happened off Goldsmith Beach on the Yorke Peninsula.  The 28-year old was spear fishing with friends who witnessed the attack, but police and emergency service crews didn’t find the body – the victim is missing and presumed dead.  People were warned to get out of the water.

Authorities in Argentina say a stolen truck was going 120 kilometers per hour in the wrong lane of a highway when it plowed head-on into a commuter bus, killing at least 18 people.  Another driver actually captured video of the speeding truck near the city of Mendoza in the western wine-producing region before it struck the bus.  Both vehicles burned upon impact.  The truck had Brazilian license plates. 

A boulder “the size of an automobile” tumbled off a mountain and smashed into a tourist train in the French Alps, derailing it – two people were killed and nine people are recovering from various injuries.  The train was on the 150 kilometers scenic run from Nice to Dignes-les-Bains through the snowy Alps.  Rock- and snow slides occur occasionally in the area, but until now it wasn’t generally considered dangerous.

The Syrian government and rebels are accusing each other of mortar fire that breached the Homs truce, temporarily trapping a United Nations aid convoy to people who’ve been stuck for nearly three years in the besieged city.  Workers on the convoy were forced to flee for cover from shells and gunfire. 

A rare snowstorm has socked in the Japanese capital Tokyo, just before the day of the election for governor of the megalopolis of some 13.25 million people.  Around 10 centimeters came down on the central part of the city, the biggest accumulation since 1998.  Sure, to someone in America’s upper Midwest getting 15 to 20 centimeters every few days for a month and a half it seems like a paltry amount.  But I digress.  In Tokyo flights are cancelled, transportation is slow at best, and the bullet train was stopped for a while.

Woody Allen says his estranged son with Mia Farrow, Ronan Farrow, looks like Frank Sinatra.  Lucky for him.  Woody also denies abusing Ronan’s sister Dylan Farrow, but she issued a point-for-point takedown of that denial to the Hollywood Reporter soon afterward.  That’s one interesting family.

The US announced that so much as the federal government has jurisdiction, it will recognize same-sex marriages as equal to traditional marriages in all federal matters.  That includes in Federal courts, bankruptcies, prison visits and survivor benefits.  It goes a long way to extending equality even in the 34 states that do not recognize gay marriages.  However, state laws will still apply in state matters.

Demonstrators in Bosnia-Hercegovina burned government buildings in the worst unrest since the end of the civil war in the 1990s. Hundreds of people have been hurt in three days of protests over dissatisfaction with the government’s efforts to deal with high unemployment.  Police used rubber bullets and tear gas to quell unrest in the capital Sarajevo and the northern town of Tuzla.

The Ukrainian man who tried to hijack a Turkish Airliner to Sochi, Russia wanted authorities back home to release prisoners from Ukrainian prisons.  Hundreds have been arrested in the anti-government protests in Kiev, as protesters try to get the government to step down because it defied public opinion on a political deal with Europe in favor for continued economic ties with Russia.
