First time reading? American Fact of the Day! On August 21, 1968, the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact nations launched a military invasion of Czechoslovakia to suppress the Prague Spring, a period of political liberalization and reform led by Czechoslovak leader Alexander Dubček. This intervention aimed to halt the country's efforts to implement democratic reforms and maintain the strict communist control in the region. Breaking Updates Four bodies found inside superyacht that sank off Sicily On Wednesday, divers recovered four bodies from the luxury yacht Bayesian, which sank off the coast of Sicily during a sudden storm. The search, which had been ongoing for days, revealed that two passengers remain missing, including British tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter and several high-profile figures such as Morgan Stanley’s Jonathan Bloomer and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo. The yacht, owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, was caught in the storm while anchored near Porticello, and 15 of the 22 people aboard survived the incident. Among the confirmed fatalities is the ship’s cook, Canadian-Antiguan national Recaldo Thomas. Video footage from the scene showed body bags being lifted from boats, though the identities of most recovered bodies were not immediately clear. The Bayesian, a nearly 250-foot yacht built by Perini Navi in 2008, was on a Mediterranean sailing vacation that Lynch, who had recently been acquitted of fraud, had organized as a celebration. In a tragic twist, Lynch's co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain was killed in a separate accident shortly before the yacht disaster.

The 56-year-old driver was arrested for vehicular homicide after admitting he was distracted by his cell phone while using the driving assistant feature. This incident marks at least the second known fatal crash involving Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, which Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has heavily invested in for the company's future. Tesla's FSD software, despite its advanced capabilities, requires active driver supervision and is not fully autonomous, according to the company. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating the crash and gathering information from local law enforcement and Tesla. Previously, the NHTSA had reported one fatal accident involving FSD software between August 2022 and August 2023, highlighting ongoing concerns about the technology’s safety and effectiveness. Experts have pointed out the limitations of Tesla’s camera-based system compared to rivals like Alphabet’s Waymo, which uses additional sensors such as lidars. Challenges include accurately detecting and measuring objects in various real-world conditions. Despite these issues, Musk has continued to emphasize the potential of self-driving technology and has been optimistic about achieving full self-driving capabilities by next year. Tesla's efforts are under intense scrutiny, including a recent recall to add safety safeguards to their software.
