       It also appears that the ship eventually sank at the berth.

       Rare Video Shows Orcas Hunting A White Shark &#128064;

       [center]Rare Video Shows Orcas Hunting A White Shark
       &#128064;[/center]
       By Antony Sguazzin (Bloomberg) A drone operator and helicopter
       pilot captured rare footage of a pod of orcas killing a great
       white shark near Mossel Bay on the south coast of South Africa.
       Now sharks haven’t been seen in the area for weeks.
       Orca attacks have been cited by scientists as a possible cause
       of the giant shark species’ disappearance from some waters off
       the country’s coast.
       The footage, captured on the afternoon of May 16, shows a group
       of five orcas bringing an apparently dead three meter (10-foot)
       white shark to the surface 400 meters off Hartenbos Beach,
       according to an Oct. 3 study released by researchers at the
       Marine Dynamics Academy in Gansbaai, South Africa. Mobile phone
       footage from a helicopter pilot in the same area at about the
       same time shows orcas chasing great whites and one of them
       eating the liver from a dead shark.
       “This behavior has never been witnessed in detail before, and
       certainly never from the air,” said lead author Alison Towner, a
       PhD candidate at Rhodes University, South Africa, according to a
       press release from the Ecological Society of America, which
       published the study.
       Minutes before the attack, white sharks were seen by a number of
       observers fleeing the area, with some swimming into shallows to
       escape the orcas.  While 10 sharks were observed during a 75
       minute drone flight on the day, only one was seen in daily drone
       flights over the next eight days, the researchers said. Cage
       diving operators, who charge tourists to observe sharks from the
       safety of underwater cages, saw an average of more than three
       white sharks per trip in the 10 days before the attack and none
       of the predators for the 45 days after it.
       “Given the well-documented, predictable year-round presence of
       white sharks in Mossel Bay, the sudden absence of white sharks
       for several weeks immediately after the predation event supports
       a flight response by surviving white sharks in the area,” the
       researchers said.
       Two orcas
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-120422122257-657398.png,<br
       />known as Port and Starboard because of their way their dorsal
       fins lean, have been blamed by a government-appointed panel for
       the disappearance of white sharks off Cape Town
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-120422122257-657398.png,<br
       />which lies 344 kilometers (214 miles) west of Mossel Bay,
       after
       they killed and ate a number of the animals.
       “The study confirmed that one infamous killer whale, locally
       known as ‘Starboard,’ was part of the pod and ate what was
       suspected to be a large piece of shark liver at the ocean
       surface,
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422144605.png”<br
       />the Ecological Society said in the statement, referring to the
       Mossel Bay attack.
       In the two years to 2020 only one confirmed sighting of a white
       shark was recorded in the waters off Cape Town compared with an
       average of 205 per annum between 2010 and 2016. A similar
       pattern was observed off California’s Farallon Islands after a
       spate of orca attacks.
       Earlier this week a dozen white sharks, an unusual number for
       this time of year, were seen during an aerial survey off the
       coast of Plettenberg Bay, a popular resort 114 kilometers to the
       east of Mossel Bay, radio Algoa FM reported, citing a statement
       from the local Bitou Municipality. The municipality said that
       the sharks may have been “displaced from Mossel Bay” by the
       orcas.
       Plettenberg Bay has reported two &#9760;&#65039; fatal attacks
       on swimmers by white sharks recently, one late last month and
       the other on June 28. Footage on social media in recent days has
       shown large sharks swimming in water just a few feet deep off
       the town’s beaches.
       Great white sharks can grow to about five meters and weigh two
       tons. Orcas can reach
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-220922210814-19992205.png<br

       Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs &#10024;: a peace settlement in

       Each passing day makes it increasingly apparent that the present
       capitalist system has no solutions to the crises of its own
       making. This week, we looked at how we can tackle the most
       pressing problems of our times, from the war in Ukraine to
       climate change and beyond.
       Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-110422180553-636818.gif<br
       />tackles the question of how to achieve a peace settlement in
       Ukraine and offers a solution Washington doesn’t want to hear:
       it’s time to admit NATO is a big part of the problem. Vladimir
       Putin and Emmanuel Macron have both expressed their openness to
       joining peace talks. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
       General Mark A. Milley has also added his voice to those urging
       a political solution to the conflict, bluntly stating that
       Ukraine’s chances of victory are “not high.” Sachs’s solutions
       are straightforward and address concerns from all parties: the
       US and NATO must back down, Russia must withdraw its troops,
       Ukraine must stop seeking to retake Crimea, and all parties must
       commit to respecting Ukraine’s sovereign borders. As the chances
       of nuclear war grow day by day, it’s high time to consider what
       a settlement might look like for this war. &#128591;&#127996;

       It’s no secret that the global reliance on fossil fuels is the
       number one driver of climate change. Yet discussions of
       transition from fossil fuels are plagued by practical questions
       of how exactly a major industry can be dismantled without
       simultaneously crushing millions of workers. TRNN
       Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez sits down with former oil
       and gas workers to discuss how a just transition from fossil
       fuels can be achieved without throwing workers under the bus.
       It’s undeniable that dependence on fossil fuels needs to be
       overcome, particularly among the most developed capitalist
       countries who bear the greatest historical responsibility for
       the destruction of the planet. In undertaking such an
       intentional and sweeping economic transformation, the transition
       to renewable energy may also provide a tremendous opportunity to
       institute a new kind of economy based on human and ecological
       need.

       All around the country and the world, runaway inflation is
       crushing the working class, and the policies of the Federal
       Reserve are only adding to the weight. Anders Lee of the Pod
       Damn America podcast hosts a special discussion on The Real News
       to discuss the 1979 Volcker Shock and its lessons for the
       present day. Paul Volcker is often credited with ending high
       inflation rates in the late 1970s and early 1980s by raising
       inflation rates through the roof—the same strategy the current
       Fed is attempting to use to manage inflation. The effect of such
       policies is to depress wages while allowing the prices of goods
       to continue to rise. Workers are inevitably caught in a

       of the morning while the ship was under pilotage. Here are the
       details we have so far.
       By Katrina Nicholas (Bloomberg) A major commuter bridge in
       Baltimore collapsed after being rammed by a container ship,
       causing vehicles to plunge into the water and threatening chaos
       at one of the most important ports on the US East Coast.

       The Maryland Transportation Authority issued an alert on X
       telling drivers not to use Interstate 695. Kevin Cartwright of
       the Baltimore City Fire Department described it as
       [glow=red,2,300]“a mass casualty, multi-agency incident”
       [/glow]in an audio interview with CNN, adding as many as 20
       people could be in the water.
       The [glow=maroon,2,300]disaster[/glow] at the Francis Scott Key
       Bridge happened early Tuesday. It’s likely to cause huge
       disruption — both for shipping at one of the busiest ports on

       been severed on the major highway encircling Baltimore. ... ...

       and integrity of critical infrastructure. This support
       encompasses the deployment of certified bridge safety
       inspectors, alongside urban search and rescue structural

       U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vessel Reynolds
       Addressing the challenges posed by waterway debris, the USACE
       has deployed the debris removal vessel REYNOLDS to patrol the
       waters of the Baltimore Harbor and the Patapsco River and the
       CATLETT, a 61-foot hydrographic and topographic survey vessel.
       They will focus on the identification and removal of drift and
       debris that pose hazards to navigation, thereby ensuring safer
       and cleaner waterways for Baltimore’s residents and visitors
       alike.
       Both vessels are based in Baltimore. The USACE has not specified
       when it will begin deploying vessels from other regions of the
       country, nor if it will activate Navy salvage assets or Maritime
       Administration Ready Reserve ships.

       Key Bridge[/center]
       by John Konrad (gCaptain) The Unified Command started clearing
       debris from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse today. They
       did not specify when they will resume the salvage operation for
       the ship, which was paused yesterday due to the discovery of a
       high-pressure gas line under the wreckage.
       In an afternoon statement, the Unified Command announced that
       they are working with Baltimore Gas And Electric to decrease the
       pressure in the pipeline that traverses the channel and runs
       beneath the incident site. They are coordinating to render the
       pipeline inert to mitigate any hazards and risk. Pipeline
       operations will persist over the weekend.
       No comment was made about why the gas line was not secured
       immediately following the grounding on Tuesday.

       For the bridge salvage operation, trained demolition crews will
       start by cutting the top part of the collapsed bridge’s north
       side into smaller pieces. This will allow safe removal by crane.
       A crane barge and work barge are prepared at the incident site
       to support Saturday’s operations.

       />
       Salvage teams will use gas-powered cutters to methodically
       disassemble sections of the steel bridge for disposal.
       Concurrently, salvage divers will conduct underwater assessments
       of the work site to facilitate future operations. Each lifting
       operation requires an engineering analysis to guide the salvage
       operation plans.
       The Coast Guard continues to maintain a 2000-yard maritime
       Safety Zone around the M/V Dali recovery efforts.
       Unified Command also stated that the ship remains stable with
       crew aboard.
