Orcas relentlessly battered a yacht in a “terrifying” two-hour attack Wednesday that didn’t end until the $128,680 vessel sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

Robert Powell, 59, and his crew were just 22 hours into their 10-day trip from Vilamoura, Portugal, to Greece when the pod set its sights on the £100,000 — or $128,680 — sailing boat.

“To me, they were not playing at all, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew the weak points of the boat, and they knew how to sink it,” Powell, who was meant to be celebrating his birthday aboard the boat,...

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Freaky footage captured a swarm of dragonflies turning a Rhode Island beach into a scene akin to a biblical plague over the weekend.

The seemingly endless swarm of dragonflies descended on Misquamicut Beach in Westerly on Saturday, when a cloud of the insects started buzzing across the beach, under umbrellas and chairs, past faces and between legs.

“I was enjoying a nice day at Misquamicut State Beach until we endured a dragonfly apocalypse,” witness Stephanie Martin told WCVB.

A great white shark thrilled anglers recently in Cape Cod Bay by following a hooked striped bass to their boat and leaving them with only its head.
The accompanying footage, captured outside Rock Harbor and shared Sunday by Cape Cod Incidents, begins with an angler reeling the striper to the boat with the shark apparently holding on but not resisting.
“He’s swimming to us,” one angler observes.
“He didn’t let go,” another cautions.

The excitement ramps up as the group realizes the shark is only feet away: “He’s right there!”
Within seconds, though, the angler who was fighting the striped bass is left with only...

The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...

On Tuesday, a whale struck and swamped a fishing boat off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sending two fishermen into the water. The whale breached the surface just feet from the boat's stern, and it landed with its head on the port-side outboard engine and the boat's transom. The fiberglass boat - far lighter than the whale - immediately flipped to port and dumped the two occupants into the water.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
