After the tragedy of the Estonia ferry sinking in the Baltic,
the Scottish ferry company CalMac put a note in their brochure
assuring passengers of their high standards, declaring
'most of our ferries are very safe'
But they omitted to tell us which ones weren't :eek:
Typical Scottish excess of candor.
 
On this date, july 30, 1975, James Riddle Hoffa (Yes - that's his real middle name) was last seen standing outside the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Township near Detroit MI

While his body has never been found, the theories of mob executions cover every gory idea imaginable. The latest and most credible theory is that he was poisoned with a radioactive cocktail and later dismembered and buried beneath the basement of a house in upstate NY recently sold to a "Goldman/Moore" couple

Fifty years ago, on August 9th 1969, the Manson Family murdered five people in a home in Los Angeles, including actress Sharon Tate.
Following the murder of Gary Allen Hinman who was a music teacher and PhD student at UCLA on July 27,

I believe the Tate Murders were on 8/8, followed the next day 8/9 by the murders of supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, a dress shop co-owner.

The greater profile of the Tate slayings - along with the fact that she was 8 1/2 months pregnant and married to Roman Polanski, famous director (not yet famous pediphile) made those the ones that are remembered.
 
The murder of Tate and company may have been a mistake. The Polanskis were renting the house. The previous renter had been Terry Melcher, the sonny of Doris Day. Melcher had met Manson through Dennis Wilson in 1968 and expressed interest in producing Manson's music and making a documentary about the Manson Family. The record and film deal fell through. It is possible the intent was to kill Melcher and his then girlfriend, Candice Bergen. It is also possible that Manson knew that Melcher had moved out but intended the murders to frighten him.

The LaBianca murders appear to have been random.
 
Yes, very cool-headed crew - good to hear some good news,
especially from Russia!


During the Soviet period airline crashes simply didn’t happen in the Worker's Paradise, so families of airline crash passengers could wait for weeks before they were informed their loved ones were dead.

It might have helped if the drone could have shown them the runway.

By the way, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., his wife, young daughter, and two pilots were in a plane wreck in Tennessee yesterday. All seem to be doing well. But Tree doesn't fly much anymore...
