Football Sensation Mo Salah Gets Bespoke Adidas Boots for Final Game
Mo Salah x Adidas is the golden goodbye we didn't know we needed. May 26, 2025 Adidas has teamed up with Mohamed Salah for a pitch-perfect send-off to the season, and it's easily one of the best collaborations of the year. To commemorate Salah finishing as the Premier League's top scorer, Adidas created a one-of-a-kind pair of bespoke boots, made exclusively for his final game. The custom design features a hand-sketched Liver bird - the emblem of Liverpool FC - paired with metallic gold three-stripes, a nod to his golden boot achievement. These boots won't be available for purchase and are intended solely for this final match, making them as rare and iconic as the player himself. In the accompanying campaign imagery, Salah cradles a Cormorant, a symbol of resilience and flight. His gloves are inscribed with his enduring title: الملك المصري ('The Egyptian King'). In the final frames, the bird is replaced by the custom boots: myth becomes reality at the feet of this legend.

Emergency search for missing man in plane crash will continue until sundown, official says
Search efforts for a missing Spanish man in the waters off Newfoundland will continue until sunset Wednesday, according to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) in Halifax. The search began on Tuesday when an Air Tractor AT-802 crashed 240 kilometres east of St. John's at around 8:40 a.m that morning. Wednesday's search involves the Canadian Coast Guard, a Hercules aircraft and a Cormorant helicopter, according to JRCC Lt.-Cmdr. Len Hickey. "The intent is to carry on with search until sundown tonight. At that time, all assets involved in the search are going to return to base and the case is going to be turned over to the RCMP as a missing persons [investigation]," Hickey told CBC News Wednesday afternoon. He added the decision to hand the investigation to police is based on survivability modelling of the crash. "Normally it's policy by JRCC to go well past what would be expected for someone to survive in this scenario," Hickey said. "When they're confident that they've certainly been out there searching well past the chance that the person would survive, then it's passed on." This missing man is from Spain, Hickey said, and was piloting the plane he recently purchased from the United States. The plane was destined for the Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal. "He was flying that aircraft up the eastern seaboard. The intent was for the last touch point in North America to be St. John's, and then they were going to make the hop across the Atlantic," Hickey said. Searchers found an oil slick on the water near the crash site Tuesday. Hickey said it's too early to tell if it — or the crash — was caused by a mechanical issue with the plane. Search conditions had improved on Wednesday, he added.

Search continues off Newfoundland for pilot of small aircraft that crashed in ocean
ST. JOHN'S - The search continues today for a pilot whose small aircraft crashed in the Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday morning, about 225 kilometres off the east coast of Newfoundland. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says the single-seat Air Tractor AT-802 took off from the St. John's International Airport and was being flown to an unspecified destination in Portugal. A spokesman for the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax says a Canadian Coast Guard ship and two fishing boats are taking part in the search, as are a military Hercules fixed-wing aircraft and a Cormorant search-and-rescue helicopter. The spokesman confirmed that searchers had found an empty life-raft, an oil slick and other debris near the plane's last known position. It remains unclear why the single-engine turboprop was being flown overseas, but transatlantic flights are possible for smaller aircraft specially fitted with auxiliary fuel tanks. Officials say the search will continue until this afternoon when a reassessment will be made. This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 30, 2025.

Crews searching for pilot missing after plane crashes off Newfoundland's east coast
ST. JOHN'S – Crews are searching for a pilot missing in the waters off the east coast of Newfoundland after a pontoon plane crashed this morning while en route to Portugal. Len Hickey with the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax says officials received an SOS and an emergency transmitter alert from a small, single-engine American pontoon plane at about 9:08 a.m. Atlantic time. The signals originated from an area roughly 225 kilometres off the coast of St. John's, N.L. Hickey says a crew including a Coast Guard vessel, two local fishing boats, a Cormorant helicopter and a Hercules aircraft have been looking for the pilot all day. He says crews were able to find one of the plane's pontoons, some debris and an empty orange life raft, but so far there is no sign of the pilot, who was the lone occupant.
