Evolution Of Ocean Liners

The ocean liner was a revolutionary vessel when first introduced in 1845 – from then, in a short 50 years or so, technology leapt forward and traditional sailing ships were left far behind.

This documentary looks at five amazing ships that changed the game – SS Atlantic, RMS Umbria, SS City of New York, RMS Campania and the SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse.

The Libyan Dam Collapse Disaster

On September 11, 2023 a once- in-a-thousand-year storm dumped an unprecedented level of rainfall across eastern Libya. It rapidly filled up the reservoirs behind two dams placed along a seasonal river that led into the Libyan city of Durna, which at that time had a population of around 90,000 people. One after the other, the enormous water loads placed on each of the dams proved too much for them to bear, leading to their catastrophic failures, which send a titanic surge of water tumbling down through the valley directly toward the city as if it were a tsunami.

Plane wreckage found but crash ‘not survivable’

A recovery operation is underway for a pilot believed to have been killed in a plane crash after the discovery of wreckage. The aircraft was on a private flight from Wangaratta in Victoria to Moruya on the NSW South Coast on Tuesday, and was reported missing when it did not arrive. A Beechworth Debonair light plane was last recorded on GPS near Dargals Trail in the Kosciuszko National Park.
