US airman recounts 'free-falling' descent after Iran shoot-down

In his first interview since the April incident, a US Air Force aviator codenamed Bravo describes free-falling after his F-15E was shot down over Iran, injuring him and triggering a 48-hour behind-enemy-lines rescue, while Alpha was rescued within six hours. The mission involved more than 90 US personnel on the ground and the destruction of aircraft to prevent sensitive tech from being captured, set against a war that has grown unpopular ahead of the US midterm elections.

Rescue efforts continue for 18 missing after Cyprus ferry capsizes near Kyrenia

Rescuers are searching for 18 missing passengers after a ferry carrying 259 passengers and eight crew capsized off Kyrenia in northern Cyprus.

The privately owned vessel sank to about 514 meters depth, and investigators aim to recover the black box to determine the cause.

Miracle Rescue After 3-Day Muskegon River Tubing Ordeal

Two women and 9-year-old Kayden went missing for three days after a Muskegon River tubing trip near Twin Lake. Rescuers found them in the woods, wearing swimsuits, with scratches, a broken phone, and a nearly empty water bottle. They had survived by eating bark and flowers and drinking river water, and were located about seven miles from where they entered the river. Kayden’s shout helped guide the team in bodycam footage; the trio was evacuated by Stokes baskets and treated at a hospital for dehydration, infections, and rashes. All three were back home by Tuesday.
