Incredible pictures show a huge airliner being pulled out to sea and sunk to become an artificial reef and diving attraction. The Airbus A330 was taken from Antalya to Ibrice port in Turkey's northwestern Edirne province, and had to be transported using six trucks. It was then pushed out to sea and towed a mile into the Gulf of Saros. When the plane reached its final destination it was sunk to a depth of 30 metres (98 feet) in the hope it will revive diving tourism in the area.

Seventeen gang members have been jailed for 117 years after undercover police made Britain's biggest land based cocaine siezure in a dramatic swoop on the M6. Helicopter footage shows the moment drug kingpin Jamie Simpson, 31, was arrested on the motorway near Knutsford, Cheshire, after police vehicles surrounded his Ford Transit. Officers found 186 kilos of high purity cocaine worth an estimated £20million, hidden under the floor of the van, as well as in the passenger seat and stuffed inside boxes. The raid was part of a covert police investigation called Operation Dreadnought into Warrington based organised crime groups lead by Simpson and Jamie Oldroyd. Cheshire Police said the 'gangster lifestyles' led by the two ringleaders and gang members led to their arrests, as they flaunted their wealth. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7127989/Britains-biggest-cocaine-bust-sees-17-people-jailed-117-years.html

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which is responsible for looking after the graves, said they were 'deeply upset' by the damage. 'We are deeply upset that someone has shown such a complete lack of respect this close to the 75th anniversary of D-Day, a day when so many tens of thousands assembled around the world to reflect and pay deserved respect to the war dead. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has said it is 'deeply saddened' by the damage and has vowed to restore the graves to a state that 'befits their sacrifice and continue to care for them now and always' Workers were seen removing and replacing the damaged war graves later today after the Commonwealth War Graves Commission sent staff to the area. They started the job of replacing the headstones that are believed to have been smashed on the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

Those damaged include a headstone commemorating 21-year-old air gunner Sgt Peter William Bilsborough, who drowned when his plane caught fire and fell into the sea while returning from a 1941 Second World War mission.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has said it is 'deeply saddened' by the damage and has vowed to restore the graves to a state that 'befits their sacrifice and continue to care for them now and always' One of the graves belonged to World War One hero Arthur Sheard, who died aged 30 on May 22, 1918, at Morton Banks Military Hospital in Keighley. He had been injured in the field and was buried with his four-year-old daughter, who died just two days after him. Nurse Julie Watson found that her uncle Peter Bilborough's war graves had been smashed on D-Day along with a number of others in Hirst Wood burial ground, Bradford.

West Yorkshire police are investigating the vandalism.

The graves of fallen British war heroes were deliberately smashed in the run-up to the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. The damage was intentional as none of the civilian headstones in the cemetery in Shipley, West Yorkshire, were touched.

Nasa to allow tourists to visit the International Space Station from 2020, priced at $35,000 (£27,500) per night as accommodation and around $58, 000, 000 for round ticket. The US space agency said it would open the orbiting station to tourism and other business ventures. But, a trip to space won't come cheap with life support systems and all necessary supplies considered, it will cost an eye-watering $35,000 per night at minimum excluding ticket. The announcement came as NASA unveiled its new business model on Friday, revealing a plan to incorporate more commercial and marketing opportunities ‘both in low-Earth orbit and around the moon.’ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-canada-48560874 Lalasticlala, Mynd44

Mr Rice during WWII. In this June 6, 1944, file photo, U.S. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, left, gives the order of the day to paratroopers in England prior to boarding their planes to participate in the first assault of the Normandy invasion. In this photo taken with a drone, a dummy paratrooper representing a WWII paratrooper from the 82nd Airborne hangs on the bell tower of the church of Sainte Mere Eglise, in Normandy, France, Thursday, May 9, 2019. Seventy-five years ago, American paratrooper John Steele dangled from a clock tower in Sainte-Mere-Eglise after his parachute got caught during the D-Day invasion, and survived.

Approximately 200 parachutists participated in the jump over Normandy on Wednesday, replicating a jump made by U.S. soldiers on June 6, 1944 as a prelude to the seaborne invasions on D-Day.

Parachutists are jumping over Normandy again, just as soldiers did 75 years ago for D-Day but this time without being shot at. Engines throbbing, C-47 transport planes dropped group after group of parachutists, a couple of hundred in all including a 97-year-old D-Day veteran, Tom Rice. "It went perfect, perfect jump," Rice said after his jump. "I feel great. I'd go up and do it all again." The jumpers were honoring the airborne soldiers who descended into gunfire and death ahead of the June 6, 1944, seaborne invasion. The landing zone for Wednesday's operation was fields of wildflowers outside Carentan, one of the objectives of the thousands of paratroopers who entered occupied France from the sky dropped over Normandy in the D-Day prelude. Rice, of San Diego, jumped into roughly the same area he landed in on D-Day. He said it was dark when he touched down in 1944 and he can't be sure exactly where he was. Rice jumped with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division on that momentous day 75 years ago, landing safely despite catching himself on the exit and a bullet striking his parachute. He called the 1944 jump "the worst jump I ever had."
