Audio from Titan submersible implosion released by NOAA
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Wednesday released an audio recording of what it suspects is the moment the Titan submersible imploded on in June 2023.
NOAA says the sound comes from a moored passive acoustic recorder approximately 900 miles from the site of the implosion, which killed all five people on board the submersible that was making its way to the wreckage site of the Titanic.
In the 23-second recording, the sound of static can be heard, followed by a booming noise — then more static.
Owned by OceanGate, the Titan lost contact with its support vessel an hour and 45 minutes into the dive at 12,000 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. Officials searched for the submersible for four days, until evidence of an implosion was found on the ocean floor.
OceanGate co-founder Stockton Rush was among the five who died. Other victims included Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman Dawood.
After the incident, Washington state-based OceanGate suspended its operations. A Wired investigation revealed Rush overstated the project's timeline and lied about issues with the vessel's hull.

Gov. Landry to talk about hurricane preparedness
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Gov. Jeff Landry and other state leaders are set to talk about what residents need to know to prepare for this year's hurricane season Tuesday afternoon. A news conference with Landry, the Louisiana National Guard, and the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. in Baton Rouge. FEMA chief was joking with hurricane season awareness remarks: DHS The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season for 2025. A range of 13 to 19 named storms is forecasted, with three to five that could become major hurricanes. 'In my 30 years at the National Weather Service, we've never had more advanced models and warning systems in place to monitor the weather,' NOAA's National Weather Service Director Ken Graham said. 'This outlook is a call to action: be prepared. Take proactive steps now to make a plan and gather supplies to ensure you're ready before a storm threatens.' The Louisiana National Guard started its preparation long before June 1, the date that officially marks the start of hurricane season. Leaders from different commands gathered to refine emergency response plans on May 21 in Baton Rouge. 'This is the capstone event in our year-long planning cycle for hurricane season,' said Maj. Gen. Thomas Friloux, adjutant general of Louisiana. 'This isn't a war game. It's about refining real plans, identifying gaps, and ensuring we're ready to act when the time comes.'

‘We reject your bill:' First Nations heads urge Quebec to scrap forestry reform bill
QUÉBEC - Representatives of the Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador have told a provincial legislature committee that they reject the government's proposed forestry reform. AFNQL Chief Francis Verreault-Paul said today that Bill 97 does not respect First Nations' ancestral rights. The proposed legislation would divide the province's public forest land into three zones: conservation zones, multi-purpose zones and forest development zones where the forestry industry is prioritized. Natural Resources Minister Maïté Blanchette Vézina wrote in a recent memo that the government hopes at least 30 per cent of public forests in each region will become development zones by 2028. The AFNQL says that premise is unacceptable and would amount to privatizing one-third of First Nations territories for industrial interests. The leaders are urging the government to scrap the bill in its present form and restart the process with First Nations as co-authors. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 3, 2025.

‘Stunning' sea creatures seen breaching off England, video shows. ‘Unforgettable'
Boaters off the coast of England recently spotted a pod of Risso's dolphins leaping from the surface in what was described as an 'unforgettable experience.' The encounter took place on May 30 near Falmouth, a coastal town in Cornwall, according to a Facebook post from AK Wildlife Cruises Falmouth, a local boat tour agency. In a video posted by the group, the marine mammals can be seen repeatedly breaching the turquoise waves, sending white water flying. It was 'nothing short of breathtaking,' the post said. 'This incredibly playful pod treated us to a stunning display: breaching, head slapping, lunging — the full repertoire!' the tour group added. 'It was a magical, unforgettable experience for our guests, one of those rare moments that remind us just how special our coastal waters are.' Risso's dolphins — also referred to as gray dolphins — are present throughout warm and topical stretches of Earth's oceans, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The robust-bodied animals can grow up to 13 feet long and weigh up to 1,100 pounds. They are known to live in groups numbering up to 30 individuals and largely feed on octopus and squid, according to the Wildlife Trusts, a U.K. charity organization. Typically, they are only found in 'deep, offshore waters.' With that said, sightings around the U.K. aren't uncommon, with many of them taking place around Scotland.
