Unseen images of the Titanic revealed!

A very rare video of the Titanic, which was captured during a dive in 1986, has been released, reports USA Today.

Note that these images captured by the cameras of the submersible Alvin guided by humans, and the Jason Junior which is remotely operated, have never been made public.

This dive was guided by the famous oceanographer Robert Ballard and was described as “the first time humans have laid eyes on the missing ship since 1912.”

The entire sequence, including footage of the ship’s interior, lasts over an hour.

During its very first voyage from Southampton, England, to New York, the Titanic ran directly into an iceberg, only to sink to the bottom of the sea. This horrific sequence occurred in 1912, and more than 1500 people died.

Kim Kardashian blamed for… UFOs!

Last Thursday, Kim Kardashian presented a commercial for her swimwear brand, Skims Swim, and the alien-themed photos raised eyebrows…

Because of the images featured in the Skims Swim ad, Kardashian is being accused of being responsible for… UFO sightings!

Yes, yes! Some fans have questioned whether Kim was behind the recent sightings in America.

Harmony Korine was in charge of this photo shoot and on the pictures, we can see Kim surrounded by models who have put on alien heads. We can see the models-extraterrestrials in a living room, on the edge of an in-ground pool or near a neon yellow sports car.

This new collection will be launched on February 21, and it will offer covers, accessories, in addition to 25 styles of bikinis in total in seven different colors.

Remember that these photos coincide oddly after several UFOs (including Chinese balloons) were spotted in the North American sky to be shot down following government directives.

A shark saved by cyclists!

An unusual sequence was captured in South Africa, when a group of cyclists released a shark that was stranded on their way to the beach in northern Durban.

The group spotted the shark while riding their bicycles and without question, they headed towards it to rescue it.

It takes a lot of courage to ride towards a shark that is stranded like that and to rescue it without warning.

It should be noted that the thresher shark (or sea fox) is a protected species that is not very dangerous for humans because of its small teeth and its very shy character.

We must therefore congratulate the man who took care of putting it back in the water so that it could continue its way of life properly.

Pat Mahomes hands the Lombardi Trophy to a fan… and forgets about it!

Patrick Mahomes, who probably had a few too many Budweisers, handed the Lombardi Trophy to a fan during the Chiefs Super Bowl parade and forgot to take it back. What?!

This funny sequence was obviously captured on video, which allows us to see that the best quarterback in the NFL was a little banged up. He was holding a beer in his hand as he celebrated with the fans.

During his selfie tour, he let a fan take the trophy so that he could hold it up high… Mahomes, for his part, continued his walk, forgetting about the trophy.

The Chiefs players ended the day in a nightclub and then went to bed for a well-deserved sleep.

Terrifying video of woman defending herself against an attacker in a gym is revealed

A 24-year-old Florida woman fought off a man who tried to assault her in a gym and the footage was captured on video.

According to the report from authorities, the man in question was waiting at the door of the apartment complex’s gym and she was the one who went to open the door for him.

Moments later, while she was exercising on a machine, the individual approached her and attempted to grab her by the waist… which he ended up bitterly regretting.

The man tackled her to the ground, while Alma continued to hit him, while contacting the police. The suspect, 25-year-old Xavier Thomas-Jones (a Detroit Red Wings fan), eventually let go and fled to an apartment.

Less than 24 hours later, he was arrested by police and will face charges of sexual assault, imprisonment and kidnapping.

More than 362,000 Teslas recalled for a serious problem

Tesla has had to recall as many as 362,758 cars that are equipped with autonomous driving software due to “safety issues at intersections.”

A report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that Tesla needs to make a major software update on the following models: Model S (2016-2023), Model X (2016-2023), Model 3 (2017-2023) and Model Y (2020-2023).

https://twitter.com/USATODAY/status/1626460936847458306

This is certainly a major problem asit can allow cars to exceed speedlimits or cross intersections illegally or unpredictably, thus increasing the risk of accidents.

In addition to this, the system may not react to changes in speed limits indicated on signs, or may not take into account the driver’s adjustment of the vehicle speed to exceed the speed limit.

Crucially, however, the company is not aware of any injuries and/or deaths attached to those recalls.

By April 15, Tesla will send a notice by mail to affected owners. Of course, the update will be done for free, and it can even be done remotely without a trip to the dealership.
