Again? A fighter jet falls off U.S. aircraft carrier, days after another fell off the same one
An F-18 fighter jet was lost in the Red Sea on Tuesday after tipping off the flight deck of the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier, in the second such incident in about a week, two U.S. officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The officials said the jet failed to come to a proper halt after landing on the carrier. Both members of the crew ejected before the jet plunged into the water and were recovered by a rescue helicopter, one of the officials said.
The U.S. navy did not have an immediate response.
One of the officials said medical evaluations showed the aviators had minor injuries and that no flight deck personnel were injured.
The incident was first reported by CNN. ABC News and NBC News also had their own reports about it.
Last week, another fighter jet fell overboard from the same ship, which has been aiding U.S. strikes against Yemen's Houthi fighters.

Weekend decorator: Builder-grade laundry room gets a big lift
Article content Dear Virginie Article content We bought a new 'builder house' about 10 years ago and it's obvious the laundry room was an afterthought. It's ugly and functions really poorly. Even though the room is big, we always feel crammed in there. We need storage solutions too, since it's the place where we keep our cleaning products and become a bit of a dumping ground. Article content Article content Article content I see what you mean. The room looks quite big — 6×10 feet judging by the size of the floor tiles, but everything is stuck in the corner and you have no storage or surfaces to work on. The plumbing and venting also look pretty unfinished. Article content Article content Let's start with function. The ceilings in your laundry room are quite high, so we can take advantage of vertical space to give you more storage. I like the idea of keeping the washer and dryer stacked, but let's enclose them in some cabinetry that will give you storage room for soap and cleaning supplies above, and also hide all the venting I can see up top. As you can see in my rendering, we can leave a little room on the left for tall items like your ironing board and mop. Article content Next, I would run a counter from the side of the laundry toward the door, along the right-hand wall. In the corner that will be awkward to access, we can hide some storage for items that are used less often, or lighter bulkier items like your mop bucket and cleaning supplies. This will also hide all the plumbing connections. A 24-inch-deep kitchen cabinet should work well in that corner. From the side of the machines toward the right-hand wall I would suggest you either mount a rod that you can use to hang items for drying, or you could place a closed cupboard there if you have more storage items that you want to hide away. In that case, an upper kitchen cabinet would work well. Article content Article content The new counter space will give you lots of room to fold items on, and rolling laundry bins can be tucked underneath. These are great to keep laundry sorted and off the floor. Depending on what you choose, you would have room for two or three of them. Above the counter is a perfect spot for vertical laundry-hanging; there are lots of clever racks that fold up when not in use so they lie flat against the wall. You have room for two of these above the counter. Article content Article content The last thing to tackle would be the overall aesthetics. You're lucky you have nice modern machines as a starting point. I like the idea of playing up the idea of water since it's a laundry room. Ikea has great blue cabinetry that can easily be modified to fit here, and how about wallpaper in the whole room to give it all a stylish lift? I've chosen wallpaper with a fish motif because I think it's whimsical and fun, but I could just as easily see a stylized wave motif wallpaper or some vinyl decals. I like the scale of the fish wallpaper because it makes the room seem bigger than it is. a Swedish company that prints really fun wallpapers, both traditional and easy-to-install peel-and-stick varieties. Just be sure to choose a vinyl paper that will stand up well to heat and humidity in the room.

Meredith Gaudreau surprises former Calgary Flames centre Sean Monahan with Bill Masterton Trophy for resilience and leadership
Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Jet Greaves (73) celebrates with centre Sean Monahan (23) following a game against the Washington Capitals on Saturday, April 12, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio. (AP Photo/Joe Maiorana) Columbus Blue Jackets centre Sean Monahan has been awarded the 2024-25 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, the NHL announced Thursday. The award honours perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey, commemorating Bill Masterton, a Minnesota North Stars player who died from an on-ice injury in 1968, and is voted on annually by the Professional Hockey Writers Association. Monahan earned the trophy for his resilience and leadership after the tragic death of his close friend and teammate Johnny Gaudreau last August. He signed with Columbus last July to reunite with Gaudreau, with whom he played nine seasons in Calgary. Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were struck and killed by a driver charged with impaired driving while they were cycling in New Jersey on Aug. 29, 2024. Thursday on social media, the NHL posted a video of Gaudreau's wife Meredith surprising Monahan with the trophy. 'Sean stood by my side for every tribute, every walkout and I dragged him out there to cry with me on national TV so many times,' Gaudreau said. 'But I'm excited about this one because it celebrates Sean.' Monahan said it meant a lot to win the Masterton Trophy. 'It's a real big honour,' he said. 'There's a lot of big names on that trophy and the meaning behind it. 'It's something I take great pride in,' he added, 'being on an (NHL) team, being a father, a husband -- it's a special thing and obviously fresh now, but definitely something I'm going to be reflecting on a lot. 'John knows I don't like the spotlight,' Monahan added, 'or attention, so I feel like he's probably watching down on that moment laughing at me.' Monahan finished the season with 19 goals and 38 assists for 57 points in 54 games. Other finalists included Marc-Andre Fleury of Minnesota and Gabriel Landeskog of Colorado.
