The final message from the doomed Titanic submersible Titan has been revealed with the crew of five messaging “all good here” only minutes before it lost contact with those on the surface. During a hearing on Monday with the U.S. Coast Guard — into the cause of the implosion of Titan in June of 2023 — officials revealed that minutes before the five passengers on the submersible were lost forever, the crew had sent a message that the dive was going according to plan, People magazine reported. Text messages between Titan and the support ship, the Polar Prince, occurred on June 18, 2023 and began after Titan left the ship around 9:20 am off the coast of Canada. After about 40 minutes, routine messages between the two took a turn with the Polar Prince asking numerous times if the submersible can see the ship on its display. When there was no response, the ship started sending urgent messages. After about 15 minutes, Titan responded that it had communication and the Polar Prince replied, “I need better comms from you.” The Marine Board presented an animation model in support of the Titan submersible hearing.

Titan then asked the Polar Prince if they were also at the bow, and Polar Prince said, “making our way there … your position jumps significantly each ping” — which the ship repeated to the Titan at 10:36.  At 10:47, Titan messaged that they “dropped two [weights],” and contact was then lost almost immediately, at 10:47:32 a.m., according to the Coast Guard. That was at a depth of nearly 3,350 meters and a pressure of 4,900 pounds per square inch, the magazine noted. After the ship lost contact with Titan, a four-day rescue mission from the United States and Canada ensued including using airplanes, boats, and submersibles in the attempt to find and save the crew, Variety noted. On the fourth day, the United States Coast Guard announced that a remotely operated underwater vehicle had found debris from the Titan near the Titanic. “A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic,” USGC Northeast said in a statement. “Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information.” “A debris field implies a break-up of the submersible … that really sort of indicates what is the worst-case scenario, which is a catastrophic failure and generally that’s an implosion,” marine scientist and rescue expert David Mearns told Sky News. “The only saving grace is that it would have been immediate — literally in milliseconds — and the men wouldn’t have known what was happening,” Mearns added.

It’s been 50 years since we met Richie Cunningham and Arthur Fonzarelli as the stars of Happy Days. Richie was squeaky clean, and the Fonz was a rebel. Together, they are one of the most famous duos in television history. The pair reunited on stage during the 76th Primetime Emmys on September 15 on a set that took us right back to Arnold’s Drive-In. @varietymagazine It’s a #HappyDays reunion at the #Emmys ! ♬ original sound – Variety – Variety Ron Howard And Henry Winkler Have Still Got It They may be a bit older, grayer, and surely wiser as parents and grandparents, but their comedic timing and ability to reel us in hasn’t changed at all. During their bit, Ron pointed out that the Happy Days theme song didn’t play but that Candice Bergen got music. “Of course, she would get one,” Henry responded. “Well, I have a solution,” Ron said. “You could do it.” “No, come on, first of all, I’m out of practice,” Henry argued. “And second of all, it takes schooling, and, you know.” “You went to the Yale School of Drama. Come on, you know you can do it.” Without skipping a beat, Henry became Fonzie, and as cool as a cucumber, he walked up to the jukebox and gave it a familiar tap with his arm. And just like way back when, the music started to play as the crowd began to cheer. It was happy and wholesome, and people loved it. Variety shared a video of the moment on TikTok, and fans went crazy. Someone wrote, “Why does that make me tear up? Happy Days was my childhood. Love that show!” This person agreed, “50 years and the fonz still has the magic touch. aye!!” Ron and Henry are a testament to friendship. “Truly two people who were simply placed together 50 yrs ago and continued to make their relationship last all these 50 years.” We agree with this person. We needed this dose of nostalgia, too. “That was one of my favorite moments of the night. Unlocking my childhood memories.” This story’s featured image is by Christopher Polk/Variety via Getty Images.

When you come from a large family, it can be overwhelming. Lots of kids often mean lots of messes and even more chores. Sometimes, older siblings will help take care of the younger ones just to give their parents a break. Even though it can be chaotic, it is also a lot of fun—just ask Dolly Parton. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dolly Parton (@dollyparton) Dolly Parton Is One Of 12 Kids & Has Beautiful Childhood Memories Dolly and her 11 siblings were raised with little money but a lot of love in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. She and her sister, Rachel Parton George, collaborated on a new cookbook of family recipes. Dolly and Rachel said they learned to cook “out of necessity.” Dolly told People that with so many kids in the house, everyone had to pitch in. “We’d have to climb up on the chairs to peel potatoes, turnips, or whatever. We were really helping out when Mama was not well, or in bed with a kid or having a new baby or whatever… so my first [lesson] came out of just really being a necessity of us helping mom as the older girls,” Dolly told People. The sisters’ new cookbook, Good Lookin’ Cookin,’ includes 80 recipes from the Parton family’s kitchen, including a “Slaw of Many Colors,” a point of her hit song Coat of Many Colors. Their strawberry shortcake calls for a “Dolly Dollop” whipped cream, which Rachel told people as “A generous helping, how’s that?” Dolly said that while she eats a bit healthier at 78, their cookbook is filled with delicious recipes. “Southern food is healthier than people assume it is, anyway,” Dolly said. “And Rachel has a way of not going overboard these days. You can learn to cook good southern food without putting as much grease, lard, bacon grease, whatever you do, or butter.” Good Lookin’ Cookin’ A Year of Meals- A Lifetime Of Family, Friends, and Food will be available on September 17.

It’s been almost a year since the Hamas terrorist organization attacked Israel on Oct. 7. The massacre left over 1,200 people dead and over 200 kidnapped—including women, men, and children. Since the attack, the Biden administration has made its support for a two-state solution clear. And now, with Vice President Kamala Harris running as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, it appears nothing has changed. During Tuesday’s debate between the vice president and the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Harris restated her support for a cease-fire and two-state solution, which, as Family Research Council President Tony Perkins explained on Thursday’s episode of “Washington Watch,” would ultimately “transfer the geographical heart of the state of Israel, Judea and Samaria, to the Palestinians.” Harris declared, “We must chart a course for a two-state solution, and in that solution, there must be security for the Israeli people and Israel and an equal measure for the Palestinians.” But experts on the ground in Israel like Caroline Glick say that a two-state solution is not a viable option. First, Glick emphasized on “Washington Watch” how Harris’ comments during Tuesday’s debate are likely to “lower her level of support” in Israel. As a senior contributing editor at the Jewish News Syndicate, Glick and her colleagues have been conducting polls “of Israeli sentiments regarding the presidential race.” As she stated, after their most recent update shortly before the presidential debate, “Trump was leading by more than two-thirds of Israelis supporting him over Kamala Harris.” She added, “I assume that next week when we poll that question,” the results will be similar. Glick further noted that Harris made potentially “the most hostile statement ever made by a major presidential candidate, by a nominee of one of the major parties, regarding Israel in history. … Her hostility toward Israel was stunning.” Glick explained how the attack on Oct. 7 was the “most sadistic” slaughter Israel has seen, and yet, Harris’ stance seems to reflect that she sees a cease-fire as a way to “pay the Palestinians.” And while it is true that many Palestinian civilians have died over this past year, Glick asserted that this was still “very much an invasion of Palestinian society into Israel, not just Hamas.” According to Glick, some military estimates found that out of the 10,000 people that entered Israel from Gaza during the attack, 5,000 to 6,000 were Hamas members, and the rest were Palestinian civilians. And so, Perkins noted, when considering the fact that Harris wants a solution that’s in “equal measure for the Palestinians,” it becomes even clearer how the Biden-Harris administration’s “support of Israel has been tepid at best.” Moving forward, he asked, is it possible policies under a potential Harris-Walz administration would be “even more indifferent toward Israel or outright hostile?” In response, Glick emphasized how, should Harris get elected, America could expect to see more hostility toward Israel. “I think that what Kamala Harris showed at the debate … is that an America under her presidency will not allow Israel to do anything beyond intercepting missiles en route to Israel” and will not allow the Jewish state to take “offensive actions against our enemies, whether it’s Iran or the Palestinians or Hezbollah.” Glick pointed out how Harris said she “will always support Israel’s right to defend itself,” but that doesn’t change the fact that “the United States right now continues to embargo 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs to Israel, because they don’t want us to take offensive action that will effectively diminish the capacities of our enemies.” Returning to the topic of the two-state solution, Perkins addressed how the land in question includes a “small strip of the Gaza Strip,” the home of the people attacking Israel. Considering this, he asked, how would Israel be able to defend itself if its land “is given away to a hostile entity?” “It can’t,” Glick said somberly. “It manifestly cannot do so.” Which is “the problem,” she added, because “people talk about the two-state solution as if this is some sort of responsible policy, but it’s not.” Rather, it establishes “a Palestinian state, causing Israel to renounce our rights to our biblical homeland” and paves the way for “Israel to be defeated.” Glick concluded, “[G]iving people whose goal in life is to annihilate the Jewish state and the Jewish people … sovereignty over the West Bank of the Jordan of Judea and Samaria” means “giving them the keys to the realm. You are telling them, ‘Go ahead, wipe Israel off the map.’” Originally published by The Washington Stand The post Expert: Harris’ ‘Two-State Solution’ Would ‘Wipe Israel Off the Map’ appeared first on The Daily Signal.
