Powerful explosion rocks Connecticut standoff scene, sparks blaze, injures officers -- live updates

At the point when the Washington Redskins took their cheerleading squad to Costa Rica in 2013 for a schedule photograph shoot, the primary reason for worry among the team promoters came when Redskins authorities gathered their visas upon landing in the resort, denying them of their official distinguishing proof.

For the photograph shoot, at the grown-ups just Occidental Grand Papagayo resort on Culebra Bay, a portion of the team promoters said they were required to be topless, however the photos utilized for the schedule would not indicate nakedness. Others wore only body paint. Given the resort's segregated setting, such uncovering stances would not have been a worry for the ladies — aside from that the Redskins had welcomed onlookers.

An unforeseen of supporters and FedExField suite holders — all men — were allowed very close access to the photograph shoots.

One night, toward the finish of a 14-hour day that included posturing and move rehearses, the squad's chief told nine of the 36 team promoters that their work was not done. They had a unique task for the night. A portion of the male patrons had picked them to be close to home escorts at a dance club.

"So return to your room and prepare," the chief let them know. A few of them started to cry.

"They weren't putting a firearm to our heads, yet it was compulsory for us to go," one of the team promoters said. "We weren't asked, we were told. Different young ladies were crushed in light of the fact that we knew precisely what she was doing."
