Woman uses Pizza Hut app to escape hostage crisis [VIDEO]

It’s hard to even imagine what one would do in a hostage situation. For one Florida woman, she used a combination of wits and the all too familiar Pizza Hut app to call for help. Held at knife point all day by her ex-boyfriend, the woman persuaded her ex to let her quickly order pizza for her 3 children using the Pizza Hut app.

The man, who had initially taken her phone from her agreed, and it was then the woman used the app’s “special instructions” field to request help. The Pizza Hut where the order was placed quickly notified local law enforcement who was able to show up at the home and defuse the situation. The boyfriend was eventually arrested and is now being held on a ,000 bond.

AT&T’s LG Escape 2 is a curved smartphone with decent specs for $180

AT&T has a new budget phone that doesn’t look that bad on paper. It’s the LG Escape 2, a 0 curved smartphone with a curved 4.7-inch 720p display. You’re also getting an 8 megapixel rear camera, a 1 megapixel front camera, a 1.2GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 410 64-bit chipset, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage with microSD slot, 4G LTE, 2,100mAh battery and more. It’ll be running Android 5.0 Lollipop with LG’s custom user experience out of the box.

It obviously won’t match the might of something like the LG G4 at its low price point, but if you’re not interested in paying boatloads for that sort of smartphone this certainly doesn’t seem to be a bad option. You can get it at full retail price, $.99 on a two-year deal, or per month for 30 months on AT&T Next 24. Head here to order one.
