This Week's Top News Stories on YouTube--A huge Penn State scandal, a busy US campaign trail, and the Eurozone economic crisis claims more victims.

Everyday on the CitizenTube Channel (and @CitizenTube on Twitter), along with our curation partners @storyful, we look at how the top news stories are covered on YouTube. Every week we'll post a weekly recap of the top news stories of the week:

• We witnessed Penn State's college football program become front-page news after former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was charged with sexually abusing eight boys, legendary head football coach Joe Paterno was fired, and students protested Paterno's ouster.
• We watched the Eurozone economic crisis claim its next victims with the resignation of Greece's PM George Papandreou and the announced resignation of Italy's PM Silvio Burlusconi.
• We saw Alaska get pounded by an "epic" Beric Sea "superstorm" that left residents inundated with heavy snowfall, strong winds, and powerful coastal waves.
• We monitored the aftermath of a deadly 5.6 earthquake in Turkey that followed the October 23 devastating 7.2 tremor in which over 600 people were killed.
• We followed a busy week on the US campaign trail with one year to go until the 2012 elections as Rick Perry's major debate "oops" and Herman Cain's sexual harassment charges took center stage.
• We observed roads turning into rivers in Genoa, Italy as deadly floodwater wreaked havoc on local citizens.
• We were stunned by a massive landslide in the northwestern Colombian city Manizales that killed 48 people and buried 14 homes.
• We noted the deferral of the Obama administration's decision to move forward with the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada that was preceded by large protests at the White House.
• We examined major Middle East events including further violent crackdowns on Syrian protesters in defiance of an Arab League agreement, the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia marking the festival Eid al-Adha, and another aid flotilla to Gaza stopped by the Israeli navy.
• And finally, we were saddened by the passing of two giants of their professions: CBS newsman Andy Rooney and former heavyweight boxing world champion Joe Frazier.
