When a common hippo was born in Eastern Thailand last month, she was named by an online poll too, and christened Hom Daeng, the Thai word for “Shallot.”

One Facebook user complained that Hom Daeng was too dry, unlike Moo Deng, who appears perpetually moist in photos.

In the first 3A boys race on the track, Connor Hom started the finals heat as the top-seeded runner after the prelims.

Teammate Elijah Yoon finished just ahead of Hom in sixth with a 1:58.54.

One of the helicopters, a HOM M503-3 with seven people on board, is believed to have crashed onto a running track.
