The crime was known in 1996. But no one did the time. Then or now. While no one was ever named a suspect, the old event has come back again with a new report being issued..
Initially fearing food poisoning, all had in fact unknowingly eaten lobster chowder spiked with the drug phencyclidine, which is also known as PCP and angel dust.
The wild story continues..
“Some people were laughing, some people were crying, some people were throwing up,” actor Bill Paxton told Entertainment Weekly at the time.
The commissioner’s report was made in response to a freedom of information request complaint. While Halifax police initially released 10 pages of records, much of it was heavily redacted.
“The responsive records consist of HRP’s rapid incident report,” Nova Scotia information and privacy commissioner Tricia Ralph explained. “This report is essentially 10 pages of narrative text regarding HRP’s investigation into the alleged lacing of food with PCP. It details who HRP officers talked to and what those people said.”
Halifax Regional Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A suspect was never named and the case was reportedly closed in February 1999.
The “Titanic” crew was in Atlantic Canada to film the movie’s modern-day scenes, which did not involve stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. The crew members all recovered from the unexpected experience.
Debate online about the ‘ocean anomaly’ near Africa
It showed up on infrared .. TikTok went nutnuts. Social media went wild.. people wondered if it was the end times, a UFO taking off, or a massive wave that will sweep the globe..
OR…
A malfunction.. Just a sensor mistake.. It’s all good.
NEWSWEEK and others reported the malfunction theory. But that has not stopped rumors and fears from churning.
Some even wondered.. it is the mother ship!
All that aside.. it all seemingly is being explained by the company that admitted a software error.
In the coming hours and days, so much will be said about OJ Simpson.
He was an icon of sports and became a pop cultural sensation.
As the world was glued to his murder trial in the 1990s He became a divisive character and was finally acquitted of the double homicide in a controversial jury decision that lives on today in infamy..
Since then, controversies have arisen and fallen, and now OJ Simpson has fallen to death itself.
He is succumbed to cancer at the age of 76.
If there is a heaven and a hell… the real trial of OJ Simpson begins now.
But this very real and intense moment on ABC news captures it all: The excitement.. the animals reacting.. the silence. the reverence.. the darkness.. The deep seated ancestral fear of darkness.. And the return of the light:
“It is really, truly breathtaking here in Burlington, Vermont.” @ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis were in Burlington, Vermont, as the #EclipseAcrossAmerica made its way across the country. They witnessed the solar eclipse, and the sun’s diamond ring after totality ended. @ABC News Live @Good Morning America @National Geographic
Think of this.. the sunbelt will be cloudy and the cloudiest state in April–maine–set to have 100% clear skies with the best viewing of the eclipse. Funny how fate and life work out.
Much of Texas, considered prime eclipse-viewing territory by many traveling there for the occasion, was predicted in forecast models on Friday to have cloud cover of 60%-80% on eclipse day.
Parts of northern New England, by comparison, looked far more promising. The probability for clear skies was also improving across the middle Mississippi Valley and western Ohio Valley, including Indianapolis, according to the National Weather Service.
“I’m pretty disappointed,” Gary Fine, 81, a retired photographer from Los Angeles who booked air fare and hotel reservations for Dallas several months ago, said on Friday as packed for his trip
Great cover! A WOBBLY headline with a Statue of Liberty shocked by the event.. the biggest quake in 140 years and luckily for New York still some newspapers to keep a print record of the event..
And now since the quake occurred, so have aftershocks: A LOT of aftershocks. As of midnight, New Jersey was up to 21 earthquakes for the day. 20 of them are probably aftershocks of the first, a potent 4.8, but we won’t be certain until the sequence ends. USGS says more earthquakes are likely over the next 30 days. They have updated their aftershock forecast once again:
You don’t see these headlines every day. You don’t FEEL these earthquakes usually on the East Coast..
On the heels of massive quakes globally–including a building-swaying seismic experience in Taiwan this week–the East Coast of the United States was hit with a tri-state shaker Friday morning..
While there was no major damage–millions of people who don’t experience this suddenly felt a strange sense of doom without the gloom..
The U.S. Geological Survey said over 42 million people might have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8, centered near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, or about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of New York City and 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Philadelphia.
Today’s earthquake in New Jersey was the strongest the Garden State has seen in nearly 250 years, and 3rd strongest on record for the state with records going as far back as 1737. The only 2 stronger ones were a 5.2 magnitude event in 1737 and 5.3 magnitude event in 1783.
However.. this would not be fun without a conspiracy theory.. Did the MILITARY cause today’s quake!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has said they are taking the bird flu outbreak “very seriously” as fears grow of the virus jumping from cattle to humans.
This week, a farm worker in Texas became the second person in the US ever to become infected with strain H5N1 of the bird flu after catching it from an infected cow. It’s also the first time the virus has been detected in cattle.
CDC Director Mandy Cohen said that the agency is “monitoring the situation very closely” as dairy farms in Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, and Texas struggle with outbreaks.
