Six Texas college students were injured when a first-floor porch collapsed at a Gulf Shores, Ala., beach house Monday afternoon, WPMI-TV reports.

At about 4:30 p.m. Monday, the porch buckled and sent more than a dozen college students from TCU and UT tumbling 12-feet to the ground below, WPMI reported.

"The support beams gave out, and the whole porch just collapsed," said TCU student William Bonner, as told to WPMI-TV. "People said they couldn't feel their legs. We were worried they might be paralyzed from the waist down."

Ultimately, all of the injuries were minor, according to Gulf Shores police.

WPMI reported varying accounts that said there were anywhere from 15 to 50 people on the porch when it collapsed.

A family who rented the beach house next door to the college students told WPMI there were "easily 40 people" on the deck when it gave way. The person who rented the house for the TCU and UT students told WPMI that only 15 people were on the porch when it buckled and that it wasn't the weight that caused the collapse, but rather the construction.

Those injured in the collapse have not been identified.

Spring training is a time during pre-season where players get to practice, play and make mistakes. This year, even the ball girls are getting in on the blunders.

The Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays were in the top of the sixth inning this weekend when Rays' hitter Shelly Duncan hit a ground ball that bounced into left field foul territory.

The ball was ruled fair, but a Hooters ball girl picked it up with her glove and handed it to a fan in the stands.

The embarassing move wasn't a total loss.

"She has no idea that she has interfered with the play," the announcer said. "But she's making a young fan very happy with that ball."

Once she realized her mistake, the woman covered her face with the same glove and sat down. Her name hasn't been released.

This is the second time this week a Hooters girl made this mistake on Bright House Field, where the Phillies play their spring games. On Wednesday, a another ball girl took a fair ball for a foul one in a  game against the Washington Nationals.

Final Round of Sanders' Child Custody Battle

It'll be up to a jury to sort through six days of drama, testimony, and allegations in the child custody battle between Deion and Pilar Sanders.  At the heart of the case: the couple's three children.

Deion Sanders is the final witness is the jury trial over primary custody.  He didn't take the stand until after 9:30, because Pilar Sanders showed up to court a half hour late without explanation.

"Primetime" gets one last chance to give his side of the story to allegations that have come up in court this past week.

"I am who I am. I think I am a great dad. I think I'm Father of the Year," says Deion Sanders.

That's what he wants the jury of seven women and five men to take away from the past six days of testimony in the child custody battle for his three kids.

Sanders Custody Case Enters Final Round

Day six of the drama-filled child custody fight between Deion and Pilar Sanders could bring some closure on Tuesday.

Deion Sanders hopes to be awarded primary custody of his two sons and daughter.

"All the nonsense. All the side stuff: the steroids, abuse allegations.  To say who's the good parent. Side step all of that," says Deion Sanders.

Deion Sanders testified Tuesday that after a fight with Pilar Sanders at their Prosper home in April 2012, when she was arrested and taken to jail, he didn't tell the kids to fill out a police report against their mom or coach the kids what to write.

Deion Sanders says he's not trying to keep the kids from his mother.

"Thank you for everyone praying for me and my children," Pilar Sanders said on her way into the courthouse.

Pilar Sanders' attorneys argue she's not allowed near Deion Sanders' home, and claim the kids have to walk a long distance from the gates near the road up to the mansion.

"I believe the children need both parents. Just like it takes to parents to conceive, it takes to parents to raise. Hopefully that will be possible," Pilar Sanders said.

Pilar Sanders' attorney, Larry Friedman, believes a victory would be if she was awarded primary custody.

"A good outcome would be having access to both parents, with Pilar the sole conservator," Friedman said. "Let's see what happens."

The Sanders' children will not have to testify.

Once Deion Sanders wraps up his testimony, both sides will give closing arguments.  The decision will then be in the hands of the jury.

"Smoke Alerts" Bring Conclave Spectating to the Social Media Age

advertisement

Click Here!

While the cardinals gathered in Rome to elect the new pope are bound by centuries-old procedures—writing and counting ballots by hand, burning them in a chimney to communicate the outcome of a vote—those outside the Vatican walls have already put a modern spin on the spectating.

In addition to the various Twitter accounts, like @PapalSmokeStack, and round-the-clock livestreams that will offer far-flung spectators real-time access to election results, there is now a service that will send email and text blasts when the white smoke goes up.

For full world news coverage, visit NBCNews.com.

Popealarm.com, the brainchild of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, a Denver-based Catholic outreach group, notes that "you could be asleep, or busy doing something and miss the "Habemus Papam!"—the Latin proclamation declared when a pope has been selected.

In an effort to solve that potential problem, the free wesbite will send alerts to users "when the smoke coming out of the Sistine Chapel chimney turns white so you know when a new Pope has been elected."

By late Tuesday morning, just four days after launch, Popealarm.com already had 60,000 registrants, FOCUS spokesman Jeremy Rivera said.

The concpet, thought up by Kevin Cotter, the group's web director, took just days to implement.

"We thought it was worth a try, and did some Google searches to see if anyone else had done it," Rivera said. Other than "Adopt a Cardinal," a German site that randomly assigns users a cardinal to keep in their prayers, the field was wide open.

Days later, after enlisting third-party assistance and slapping up a donations page to help cover the $10,000 cost, they were up and running.

By Tuesday, so many people had signed up for text alerts that site administrators posted a message indicating they they cannot guarantee that all who sign up going forward will be able to receive them. Email alerts, the site notes, are still functioning.

Cardinals were expected to cast their first ballots Tuesday evening (between 11:45 a.m. and 3 p.m. EDT) after taking an oath of secrecy. If any contender wins a two-thirds majority, a new pope can be immediately named, though it's more likely that a successor to Pope Benedict XVI won't be named in the first round.

If the vote does yield a new pope, the ballots will be mixed with chemicals and burned, sending a plume of white smoke out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel and triggering an explosion of social media, email and cell phone alerts.

If no candidate has two-thirds of the vote, however, the ballots will be burned with another chemical that should send black smoke into the sky and force to cardinals to vote again in successive rounds. (See the full voting schedule here.)

NBC News is providing a livestream from its "smoke cam" beginning at 12:45 p.m. ET as the world awaits the result from the first vote.

Four teens from Chicago were killed when their car skidded of a bridge and plunged into a creek in a rural part of northern Illinois.

Will County Sheriffs confirmed the bodies of two boys and two girls were found in the car in Forked Creek Tuesday morning on Ballou Road. The students from Wilmington High School, 60 miles southwest of Chicago, are between the ages of 15 and 17.

One of the families reported their child missing late Monday after the teens left home. Police were called to the creek around 7:30 a.m.

Will County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ken Kaupas told the Associated Press it appears the driver hit a patch of water or ice and lost control. The car tore through a guard rail on the bridge and plunged into the water. The creek's water level had risen after heavy rain and snow for the past week.

Crew pulled the submerged vehicle from the creek where four bodies were found.

Wilmington High School has not confirmed the victims were students there.

The accident comes on the heels of a string of car crashes involving young people. Five teenagers died in west Texas over the weekend in a firey crash after their vehicle ran a stop sign and collided with a fuel truck.

Also over the weekend, six teenagers died in a stolen SUV that crashed and flipped into a pond.

WATCH: Curiosity Team's Mars Rock Analysis

Scientists are discussing Tuesday morning what they found after Curiosity's tools drilled into its first Mars rock one month ago and created a powdery sample the was examined by the rover's instruments.

A briefing with NASA officials and the Curiosity team in Washington D.C. began at 10 a.m. PT.

The rover's tools bored a hole in the rock about a month ago and scooped out powder for analysis. The rover is equipped with an on-board laboratory to analyze the powder.

The process is an effort to determine whether the spot at which Curiosity landed about seven months ago was ever habitable. Curiosity crossed an ancient streambed to get to the flat bedrock that was sampled, suggesting water was present on Mars.

Scientists have already used the on-board laboratory's equipment to test Martian soil samples, which revealed a "complex chemistry" on the planet's surface, but no major surprises. An analysis detected water, sulfur, chlorine substances and other chemicals, but no definitive signs of life.

More samples from Gale Crater will be analyzed during the next two years as the rover rolls toward Mount Sharp.

The first few months on Mars have primarily been used to test the rover's complex equipment. The rover has sent back stunning images of the Martian surface, checked in on Foursquare and left wheel tracks on Mars during its test drive.
