(CNN) — Un barco desaparecido desde finales del siglo XIX fue descubierto en el lago Michigan, dijo este viernes la Sociedad Histórica de Wisconsin.“Los historiadores y cazadores de naufragios Brendon Baillod y Bob Jaeck localizaron los restos de la goleta Trinidad a 82 metros de agua frente a Algoma a principios de este año”, se lee en una publicación de Facebook.La goleta Trinidad, construida en 1867 en Nueva York, era una “canaller” o goleta de canal “especialmente construida para pasar por el canal Welland que conectaba el lago Erie y Ontario”, dijo la sociedad histórica. “El barco fue construido para el comercio de cereales de los Grandes Lagos entre Milwaukee, Chicago, Buffalo y Oswego. Trinidad transportaba carbón o hierro desde Nueva York y regresaba con cereales del Medio Oeste”.La organización dijo que los propietarios del barco no invirtieron mucho dinero en su mantenimiento, lo que dejó su carrera relativamente corta.La Trinidad perdida hace mucho tiempo descansa e...

Former Italy PM alleges France downed passenger jet in bid to kill Gaddafi

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:09:49 GMT

An explosive and unsubstantiated allegation that Paris gave the order to shoot down an Italian passenger jet in a bid to kill Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 1980 risks sparking a diplomatic row between Italy and France.In an interview with Rome daily la Repubblica published on Saturday, former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato claimed that the French air force inadvertently fired a missile that downed Itavia Flight 870 en route from Bologna to Palermo. The crash over the Mediterranean killed all 81 people on board and led to rampant speculation in Italy about the cause.“A plan had been launched to hit the plane on which Gaddafi was flying,” Amato claimed in the interview, suggesting the strongman ruler was tipped off by Amato’s own former rival, ex-Prime Minister Bettino Craxi. Amato called on French President Emmanuel Macron to respond to the claim, saying “it would be an opportunity for the Élysée to wash away the shame that weighs on Paris.”I...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:09:49 GMT

(CNN) — As Texas baked in record-breaking heat this summer and a growing drought pushed water levels down, a group of volunteers uncovered something sort of magnificent: new giant dinosaur tracks that are believed to be from around 110 million years ago.Paul Baker, the retail manager at Dinosaur Valley State Park, told CNN he has “never seen this many dinosaur tracks” before.“It’s exciting to see something that nobody else has seen; it’s almost like a treasure hunt, in a way,” said Baker, who helps clean up and map dinosaur tracks at the park. “I thought I’d seen every dinosaur track there is, but within the last two years with the droughts we’ve had and the hard work by our volunteers, it’s just an amazing sight.”Dinosaur Valley State Park, around an hour and a half south of Dallas, is home to a large number of dinosaur tracks imprinted by sauropods and theropods that lived in the area roughly 113 million years ago.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bill Richardson, a two-term Democratic governor of New Mexico and a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who dedicated his post-political career to working to free Americans detained overseas, has died. He was 75.The Richardson Center for Global Engagement, which he founded and led, said in a statement Saturday that he died in his sleep at his home in Chatham, Massachusetts.“He lived his entire life in the service of others — including both his time in government and his subsequent career helping to free people held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad,” said Mickey Bergman, the center’s vice president. “There was no person that Gov. Richardson would not speak with if it held the promise of returning a person to freedom. The world has lost a champion for those held unjustly abroad and I have lost a mentor and a dear friend.”Before his election in 2002 as governor, Richardson was U.N. ambassador and energy secretary under President Bill Clinton and ser...

Hurricane Idalia looters arrested as residents worry about more burglaries

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:09:49 GMT

HORSESHOE BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Two people were charged with looting a home damaged by Hurricane Idalia in Florida’s Big Bend region, as residents’ concerns grew that burglars could be tempted to hit other hurricane-ravaged homes since law enforcement is stretched thin in the remote, wooded area along the Gulf Coast.Some residents of Horseshoe Beach, Florida, one of the communities hardest hit after Idalia made landfall Wednesday as a Category 3 hurricane, urged law enforcement to set up checkpoints where people would have to show identification in order to get into the town.Marina worker Kerry Ford had high praise for local law enforcement’s response to the hurricane but wished more would be done to keep out people who don’t belong in Horseshoe Beach.The authorities “did really good,” Ford said. “Now, the only thing I’ve seen where they’ve dropped the ball is you can come right into Horseshoe without showing you’re a resident or anything like that. That’s a pro...
