Report: OceanGate Bought Carbon Fiber Past Shelf Life for Titanic Sub

Stockton Rush revealed in a conversation over cigars with Travel Weekly editor-in-chief Arnie Weissmann that he bought expired carbon fiber graded for airplanes at a discount for the Titan submersible that met a tragic end with five people on board.

“I responded right away, saying, ‘Don’t you have any concerns about that?’” Weissmann told the Washington Post. “He was very dismissive and said: ‘No, it’s perfectly fine. Having all these certifications for airplanes is one thing, but the carbon fiber was perfectly sound.’”

Connecticut plans to spray toxic chemical herbicide into lakes and rivers. Here's context

Toxic Weed Killer Planned for Use in Connecticut Rivers Sparks Alarm This Is NO JOKE.. State Of EMERGENCY! - 3 DAYS LEFT! Why EVERYONE Should Be WORRIED About July 7th!  In the weeks surrounding July 4, 2025, people across Connecticut began raising concerns about a controversial chemical called Diquat —a weed killer known for its strength and toxicity. The chemical is part of a federally backed project to control a fast-spreading water plant called hydrilla , which is choking parts of the Connecticut River. While the government says the goal is to protect the ecosystem, many citizens worry the cure could be worse than the problem. The Connecticut River Hydrilla Control Research and Demonstration Project first used small doses of Diquat in 2023. This summer, they planned to expand the treatment. According to official sources, the plan was coordinated by federal, state, and tribal agencies —meaning it had high-level approval. Other states like Florida and Massachusetts have also use...

ALERT: A STRANGE OBJECT JUST ENTERED OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

ALERT: A STRANGE OBJECT JUST ENTERED OUR SOLAR SYSTEM  Some people believe there are giant objects out in space that we don’t fully understand. One of the most mysterious is something they call the "Interstellar 12-mile-long Atlas." Scientists haven’t officially confirmed this, but stories have popped up online and in photos from space missions showing long, strange shapes near stars or floating between planets. Some say it looks like a ship—12 miles long, with straight sides and strange markings. It doesn’t act like a normal asteroid or comet. It doesn’t spin the same way or leave a trail like space rocks usually do. People who follow space secrets think this object might not be natural at all. They believe it could be something made by intelligent beings—like a huge spaceship or ancient machine left behind. They say maybe it’s hiding, just sitting still, or maybe watching what happens near Earth. Others say governments or big space agencies already know about it but don’t ...

Trump, Brennan, and Comey: The Investigation That Feels Bigger Than Justice

Image
Trump Celebrates New FBI Investigation, But Is It Really About Justice? Some people believe there’s more going on behind the FBI’s new investigation into James Comey and John Brennan than meets the eye. These two men once led the FBI and CIA and played major roles in the Russia investigation that put Trump under heavy fire back in 2016. Now, years later, Trump is celebrating that they’re being looked into—turning the tables. But it may not be just about finding the truth. When powerful people are investigated, even if they’re never charged, the public sees them as suspicious. These kinds of probes take time, cost money, and bring lots of attention. Some think that might be the point: by keeping Comey and Brennan in the headlines, Trump gets to remind people of how they once came after him—and now they’re the ones being questioned. Others believe this move works like a game of chess. It helps Trump fire up his supporters, show he’s still fighting what he calls the “Deep State,” and dist...
