El Reg reports on the Midas Torch.
The good ship Morning Midas – a roll-on, roll-off ferry that was delivering 3,000 vehicles from Yantai, China, to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico – is currently around 304 miles south of Adak, Alaska, the US Coast Guard tells us. The sailors on the vessel, operated by UK-based Zodiac Maritime, noticed the fire at around midnight UTC on 3 June and were unable to stop the conflagration. . . . .

At the Tampa Bay Times, John Hill debunks de bunk. A snippet (emphasis added):
“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
The shooting, which police believe may have been accidental, happened on the 400 block of North 61 Street around 2 a.m.
A 52-year-old from the second floor told police that he was handling a rifle when it accidentally went off.
Once again, we are reminded that “accidental” and “negligent” are not synonyms.
