the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

shades of Dick Cheney..........................

Way too frequent and why we all wear Blaze Orange during rifle and muzzleloader season...
 
On February 11, 2006, then-United States vice president Dick Cheney accidentally shot Harry Whittington, a then-78-year-old Texas attorney, with a 28-gauge Perazzi shotgun while participating in a quail hunt on a ranch in Riviera, Texas. Both Cheney and Whittington called the incident an accident.

From the "Ya can't make this chit up" Files. Hmm, maybe that low-tide smell around Election Day was kimchi... ? ? ?

Guess he just read, or re-read, The Hunt for Red October, although that took place in the North Atlantic so he should have moved things to Oregon or Washington

Roger Stone Says North Korean Boats Delivered Ballots Through Maine Harbor As Trump Boosts Fraud Claims

Former Trump adviser Roger Stone claimed on Wednesday that North Korea had interfered in the U.S. presidential election. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continued to assert that fraudulent activity was prevalent during the November election. Stone, who has previously spoken of his respect for some members of the QAnon conspiracy theory...
 
Just reprehensible... At least it's calm out there today so the responders weren't put in any undue danger.

Nothing stops my heart faster than hearing a helicopter on a bad weather day. The only choppers around here are USCG rescue birds and that sound means someone is in trouble...

Coast Guard says report of sinking boat is ‘probable hoax’​

The Coast Guard has suspended its search for three people reportedly aboard a fishing vessel taking on water and are investigating the mayday call as a probable hoax.

Rescue crews from the Coast Guard Station Rockland, Air Station Cape Cod and the Maine Marine Patrol spent the morning searching for the three people in the water just south of Spruce Head, but officials say they found no indications of distress or missing people.

The Coast Guard had received a mayday call around 6:35 a.m. Thursday reporting a 42-foot fishing vessel had lost a rudder, was taking on water and was trying to get to to Atwood Lobster Co., according to Coast Guard Petty Officer Briana Carter.

Within hours, the Coast Guard released audio of the mayday call and asked for help identifying the crew and vessel.

In the call, a man says, “Mayday, mayday, mayday. We lost our rudder and we’re taking on water fast. I just don’t have enough pumps to keep up with it. I’m going to try to get it to Atwood’s….”

Shortly after noon, the Coast Guard announced it had “suspended the search pending further information due to a probable hoax.”

“There are no indications of distress or missing persons in the area,” the Coast Guard said in a Twitter post updating the status of the seach.

Spruce Head is in Knox County.
