Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 11:04:30 GMT
The Sultan of Slowjamastan, a self-proclaimed “micronation” in the Southern California desert, joined the KTLA morning team to discuss his new country and to appoint a new ambassador. San Diego-based slow jams radio DJ Randy “R-Dub” Williams got the idea to create the Republic of Slowjamastan after visiting every UN-recognized nation on Earth. The Sultan reached out to the KTLA morning team shortly after he was featured on the show, thanking KTLA anchor Pedro Rivera and meteorologist Kacey Montoya for their love and confirming that his tiny nation was actively looking for ambassadors, a position that pays $500,000 a year in the local currency, known as Dubles. Kacey was presented with an “official” plaque commemorating her new ambassadorial role and engagement, as the Sultan declared that the ambassador was now “married” to him. The morning team even received Slowjamastani passports and were invited to a “little dance party” that is set to take place in the “micronation”&n...A submersible expert who rode Titan in 2019 says he raised safety concerns to operator CEO after trip

(CNN) — As the investigation continues into how and when the Titan submersible imploded while on a deep-sea voyage to the Titanic wreckage last weekend, a submersible expert says he warned the vessel’s CEO about safety concerns after a trip years ago.When Karl Stanley was aboard the Titan for an undersea excursion off the coast of the Bahamas in April 2019, he felt there was something wrong with the vessel when loud noises were heard.The day after his trip, Stanley sent an email to Stockton Rush, the CEO of the vessel’s operator OceanGate Expeditions, sounding the alarm on suspected defects.“What we heard, in my opinion … sounded like a flaw/defect in one area being acted on by the tremendous pressures and being crushed/damaged,” Stanley wrote in the email, a copy of which has been obtained by CNN.“From the intensity of the sounds, the fact that they never totally stopped at depth, and the fact that there were sounds at about 300 feet that indicated a relaxing of stored energy /woul...2 killed, 15 hurt after fight at large Michigan street party leads to gunshots

But Peabody Energy, the operator of the mine with headquarters in St. Louis and South Brisbane, Australia, confirmed before midnight that all employees had been accounted for.Six employees were still being treated in hospitals as of 11 p.m. Friday, the company said. No deaths were reported.Melissa Smith, a meteorologist and hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Rapid City, South Dakota, said a storm system scattered tornadoes throughout Campbell, Natrona and Johnson counties.“The tornadoes would form, come down, stay...American teen Krueger to play top-seeded Maria in Veneto Open final

Rebel fighters loyal to Russia’s Wagner mercenary group will stop their advance towards Moscow to avoid a devastating civil conflict, their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Saturday.In a voice recording posted to his Telegram channel, Prigozhin said his troops would turn back after advancing within 200 kilometers of Moscow on a day when Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned Wagner’s uprising as “treason” and warned that the country risked tipping into civil war.Prigozhin, smarting over the Kremlin’s inept handling of the war in Ukraine, announced early on Saturday that his mercenaries had seized the major southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, a logistics hub for Putin’s war, and threatened to push on to Moscow. Wagner forces also appeared to be well established in the city of Voronezh, 500 kilometers south of the capital. After a day of heightened military tensions — with shells fired in Voronezh and Chechen fighters being dispatched to take on Wagner in Rostov — ...Boston bike lanes plan draws opposition: The proposed routes would be ‘deadly’

The City of Boston is moving forward with plans to add bike lanes and reconfigure streets in two neighborhoods, despite heavy opposition from residents.Two heated community meetings and a flurry of emails shared with the Herald point to safety concerns among residents living in both Back Bay and West Roxbury, where plans to install bike lanes on Berkeley, Beacon and Boylston streets, and Centre Street, respectively, were presented in the past several weeks.“We understand and support the concept of a system of bike paths connecting all parts of the city,” wrote Elliott Laffer, chair of the Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay, in one such email. “However, we believe it would be irresponsible to implement such a plan in an area where an unsuspecting bike rider or pedestrian would be placed in peril.“The proposed routes on Berkeley and Beacon streets would be deadly. We ask reconsideration of this deeply flawed plan.”Another resident, Judy Settana, wrote that she and her husband we...Latest news
