Unfortunately, this week's roundup is not going to include a lot of feel-good news. But for those of you who care about current events even when they don't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, you'll enjoy this cheat sheet. America lost a few heroes this week and this will fill you in on these admirable individuals.

Let's get started.

1. Nelson Mandela Dies

 Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa who led his people out of apartheid, died Thursday at the age of 95. After spending 27 years of his life in prison, Mandela emerged as an anti-apartheid icon. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for combatting racial segregation in the nation. President Obama said in a statement: “We’ve lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this earth.”

Gun shots can be heard in the background of some of the tapes.

5. Fatal Bronx Train Crash

A commuter train driving through the Bronx went off its tracks on Monday, killing four passengers and sending 19 to the hospital. The train was going 82 mph as it approached a 30-mph curve, which caused the train to derail. The engineer, William Rockefeller, slammed on the brakes too late to stop the train from jumping its tracks. At least 67 passengers were injured, and one passenger suffered a spinal cord injury that may leave him paralyzed. Officials are still investigating the cause of the crash, but so far it appears the crash was not caused by a problem with the brakes.
