GUEST ISO: BELIEVES HE FOUND EARHART'S PLANE

**ATTENTION AFFILIATES: BELOW IS A ROUGH TRANSCRIPTION PROVIDED BY AN AUTOMATED SERVICE. THIS MAY NOT BE EXACT. PLEASE CHECK FOR ACCURACY BEFORE TAKING TO AIR.**\n\n--SUPERS--\nTuesday\nNew York, NY\n\nTony Romeo\nBelieves He Found Amelia Earhart's Plane\n\n--SOT--\nSure, thanks for having me on. Uh Well, first let's talk about the image. Uh There's three things about it that we really like that you posted on the screen there. Um The uh twin vertical stabilizers in the back are very clear on the sonar image and those were very distinctive of Amelia Earhart's aircraft and we were very happy to see those. Um The second thing is the aircraft, the target that we uh we got the sonar image of was on a very flat uh sandy surface. So to see anything protruding up or sitting on the sea floor would have been very unusual. And then thirdly, uh the size of the target um was actually fit very closely to what we'd expect from uh her aircraft. And the technology that we used was a Huggan 6000. Um There's only a handful of them in the world. Um and the 6000 means 6000 m. So it can go all the way down to full ocean depth with the 6000 m uh to the bottom of the ocean and then basically flies like a drone back and forth uh scanning the sea floor for anything interesting we do and, and, uh, verified by third party source as well. The Smithsonian, um, in the Scripps Institute, uh, a large group of folks that have studied Amelia's last flight, most believe that she, uh, was very close to her destination. And I think it's a testament to how good of a pilot she was. Um, we found the target within about 100 mile radius of Howland Island and that's where we've always expected her to be sure. Yeah, we what we need to get back. So there's a couple of steps. Uh Now that we need to take first is confirmation. Uh We need to go and take a look and put a camera basically on the, on the target. Uh We need different equipment, probably an rov to go down there with some arms and some uh pitchers that can take a look at the uh the target, take a look at how it's sitting in the, in the soil, in the, in the mud, on the sand, on the bo sandy bottom of the sea floor. Um And then confirm this. In fact, our plane, uh you know, it could be another plane, but what we're gonna be looking for are those numbers the NR 16020. Once we see that we can positively identify the plane, and then the next step would be to curate the site. Um And in other words, take a look at what debris is around the plane, how it's sitting on the sea floor. Um, and we can engineer a solution to possibly bring it up. Well, we're looking for partners. Uh, we don't have the equipment, we don't have an Rov. Uh, we have an A UV, but not an Rov. Um, we're looking for media partners. Uh We're looking for folks with the skill sets to go down and do that. Sure. Well, I think she's America's favorite missing person. Um, she's been gone for 87 years and, uh, you know, some people call it one of the greatest mysteries of all time. I think it is actually the greatest, uh, mystery of all time. Um, and until her plane is found, there's gonna be somebody out there looking for it or concocting some crazy idea of what happened to her. Now, it's a great question and actually it's, it's a key to the whole thing is that, uh, such a remote part of the world she had crashed in Lake Michigan, uh, we would have found her years ago but it's such a remote part of the world to mount an expedition uh, to go out and search for is incredibly difficult. I, I just. Mhm. Right. Great. Thank you. Appreciate it.\n\n-----END-----\n\n--KEYWORD TAGS--\nCNN GUEST ON AIR\n

LURE OF THE EAST REELS 1 AND 2

Pathe presents: "The Lure of the East -The film-record of the Forbes-Leith ...." Rest of title obscured by timecode. To be checked. This is a 22 minute documentary covering an expedition from Leeds to Quetta in Pakistan (formerly India). It was filmed by Montague Redknap and the editor was Frederick Watts. A documentation file exists relating to this extraordinary expedition undertaken by Major F.A.C. Forbes-Leith F.R.G.S. Introductory intertitles begin "Somewhere deep in the heart of every Britisher lies hidden the roaming or pioneering instinct - call it what you will - which has led our race to the ends of the earth". The journey begins in Leeds, Yorkshire in April 1924. Various shots of Leeds, street scenes - very nicely shot. A map then shows the projected route for Major Forbes-Leith's trip. Places to be visited along the way include Boulogne, Paris, Genoa, Venice, Belgrade, Sofia, Constantinople, Damascus, Baghdad, Tehran, Shiraz and Kerman. The car in which Major Forbes-Leith will travel is called "Felix II". We see a close up of the mascot for the trip - a jaunty Felix the Cat soft toy wearing a spotted scarf. Grey weather bids the travellers goodbye at Folkestone. We see the car being loaded on to a boat by a winch. M/S of two men on the docks - possibly Forbes-Leith and Montague Redknap. Various shots of people embarking, being waved off and the boat leaving port. The car is winched out of the boat at Calais and we see French men stroking Felix and bidding our travellers farewell. The expedition arrives in Paris. Various travelling shots from the car. Film star Douglas Fairbanks is seen wishing the travellers well. Good C/U of Fairbanks pretending to talk to Felix. Shots of the car travelling through Paris. Cameraman Redknap is clearly seen operating his camera in the car (two cameramen on the trip then obviously...) Major Forbes-Leith continues his travels through Europe. passing through France and Italy He visits the Forest of Fontainebleau, the great palace of Versailles (?), an inn at Briare where Napoleon made his first headquarters in 1814, the Loire Valley then Venice. Various shots of Venice landmarks including the House of the Borgias and the Rialto Bridge seen from on board a gondola. All very nicely shot. Intertitle states that the stop is Moulins (the Venice section must be out of sequence). Panning shot of a square then a sequence showing roadside basket makers (possibly Romany gypsies). Flassons is another place along the way (not sure where this is - France presumably) then the town of Orange (the Roman arch is seen). An intertitle states: "In the local "Community washing place" Wroe attended to sundry laundry". Wroe is presumably one of the travellers. We see him larking around with local women washing clothes at a communal washing area. They splash each other. Cannes is the next stop - intertitle reminds the viewer of a recent forest fire in the area. Panning shot shows the landscape which used to be a beautiful forest but now looks rather bare. Monte Carlo - a shot of the famous Casino. Genoa - various street scenes. Intertitle describes it as "the Liverpool of Italy". The house of Christopher Columbus is seen in L/S. A large column is shown - it is not named and not recognised by this cataloguer. Our party visits the old moated castle of Montagnhana. A young boy fishes with a long pole and the castle is seen in the background. Trieste - men and women in their Sunday best walk along the quayside. Yugoslavia (Jugo-Slavia in intertitle). Felix II is driven through country streets. Zagreb - a local policeman is featured, his uniform is very similar to a London policeman. Major Forbes-Leith continues his journey to India. There is nothing much to interest him in Austria (!) but the film includes a shot of a beautiful Chateau he "came across" (it isn't named). Intertile states that "Eighty miles from Belgrade we still found evidence of the devastation of war", and next sequence features the party travelling through rough terrain. One of the men is standing on the car's running board as it travels down a hill, he then runs along pushing the car as it picks up momentum - presumably there is a problem with the mechanics. The car is seen driving across a strange low bridge - possibly across a lake. Location is not specific for any of these shots. At Nish, some of our travellers are seen walking along with a group of gypsies in traditional dress, some of them play instruments. Flash-frame intertitle says "They dance all day and the Bride (on the left) may be distinguished by her painted cheeks." We see a group of women performing a traditional wedding dance. C/U of musicians. Flash-frame intertitle says "Past Pirot Gorge. (Where Wroe procured the next day's diner on the hoof.)" Two of our party are seen talking to a shepherd. He catches one of his flock and one of our party picks it up and jiggles it up and down. Various shots of an unspecified location including women weaving and chatting out of doors. C/U of an elderly lady spinning wool by hand. Two other women display a rug they have made. Felix II drives off into the distance toward Dragoman Pass - a pile of rocks blocks the road so they reverse back down a hill then drive off road in an attempt to get around the rocks. Felix II is driven through a stream when attempts at getting across Dragoman Pass fail. They carry on across the countryside. In Bulgaria a group of men chat to our intrepid explorers as they stand beside the car with the bonnet up. Panning shots of city streets of Bulgarian capital of Sofia. We see the Cathedral, which flash-frame intertitle informs was tragically blown up later on. Bomb damaged buildings - presumably in Sofia. Our explorers come out of a building with King Boris; they shake hands and the King has a good look at the car. The King's sister, Princess Eudoxie shakes hands with our travellers. Animated discussion follows. A bouquet of flowers is given to one of our men. We see Felix II being driven along with many other cars following. Intertitle talks of reaching Philippopolis, passing en route the old Roman ruins of Hissar. The car is driven through a partly destroyed archway. High angle shots of the city of Philippopolis. Intertitle states the expedition head off towards Turkey and get stuck in a swamp. A group of men tow a broken down Felix II across a field. Eventually the car gets going. Some farm workers watch the events. The men are thanked with handshakes Intertitle states that the explorers reach Adrianople, "a depressing city of 30,000 people (in 1910 it contained 100,000), where stands the largest Mosque in the world". L/S of the temple. Our explorers have their shoes polished in the open air by a man in a fez. Various shots of streets and locals - presumably Turkey? Intertitle talks of a stop near Silivri, close by the Sea of Mamora. L/S of a broken down Felix II. Four donkeys and several men attempt to pull Felix II out of a muddy stream in which he is stuck. Street scene - trams, men carrying large trunks and sacks on their backs. Intertitle refers to Turkish capital - presumably Constantinople (now Istanbul). Ankara (?), Turkey. Felix II is driven through a desert landscape and across a frontier (?). Pai Tak Pass (northwest of Baghdad, across border into Persia) - "we climbed along the fine military road made by our forces during the war." Various shots of Felix driving along a dusty road. Last intertitle reads: "This was the same route to India taken by Alexander the Great, and we were surprised to find one of the commemorative arches built by him" but film ends here.

For them, the ocean voyage may, nowadays, by only half their journey. The St. Lawrence leads to an inland Mediterranean, shared by Canada and America. From the mouth of the great river to the most inland port is about the same distance as across the Atlantic: over two thousand miles. Thanks to the great new system of locks and canals, built in the international rapids section of the river, the St. Lawrence Seaway (already in operation) give direct access to the Great Lakes for ocean-going ships.

PHILIPPINES B-ROLL PART 7 - 2007

THE REPORTER SOUND FROM THE SEGMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE.Harvest Festivals are celebrated each May, the one month of rest between harvest and planting for the following year. The festivals are thanksgiving for a good harvest and in honor of the patron saint of the farmers. The most colorful celebrations are held in the towns of Lucban, Tayabas and Syriaya. In a country where the different dialects provide around 200 words for "rice", this resource plays an integral part in the decorations, like the kiping, which are multicolored rice wafers. In Bulacan province the Carabao (water buffalo) festival and the fertility rites conclude these intense and happy Harvest Festivals.

FILE: HOW MANY GOLF BALLS ARE LOST EACH YEAR? BILLIONS

https://edition.cnn.com/sport/lost-golf-balls-environment-spt-spc/index.html#:~:text=Found%20Golf%20Balls%20CEO%20Shaun,US%20every%20year%20since%202020.\n\nSPORT-lost-golf-balls-environment-spt-spc-2\nApproved - Mark Tutton\n\n‘Billions’ of golf balls could be lost every year. Where do they end up?\nBy Jack Bantock\nCNN\n CNN -- Tiger Woods scrunches his face in frustration as he watches his ball splash into the Pacific Ocean.\n And yet, Woods lost a ball. His hooked shot from the 18th tee sank some 40 feet to join the other white, pink and yellow orbs scattered across the sea floor of Stillwater Cove.\n The momentary aberration is little more than a footnote to what will be regarded by many as the greatest performance in the history of the sport. Woods’ staggering 15-shot victory at the 2000 US Open in Pebble Beach, California, showed a level of a mastery that may never be matched.\n If the world No.1 and future 82-time PGA Tour winner could surrender a ball to the environment at the peak of his near-superhuman powers, just how many do the millions of mere mortal golfers across the globe lose each year?\n The short answer: A lot.\n\n Heavy losses\n\n A record 45 million people played the sport in the US during 2023, according to the United States Golf Association (USGA), and there were another 31.6 million unregistered and registered golfers across 146 countries last year, according to the R&A.\n In 2019 the US boasted 43% of the world’s golf courses with 16,752, the R&A reported. That’s more courses than the number of Starbucks or McDonalds stores across the country and the stage for a record 531 million rounds of golf nationwide in 2023, according to the National Golf Foundation (NGF).\n As any amateur who has picked up a club will know, the chances of finishing a round with the ball you started with are slim. While a myriad of factors can affect those odds – chiefly, skill and the topography of the course – estimates for the number of balls lost by the average golfer per round typically vary between one and four.\n Found Golf Balls CEO Shaun Shienfield, whose company recovers and resells millions of lost balls across the US and Canada each year, told CNN that he gauged the average to be between three and four each round.\n Using Shienfield’s low estimate, that’s over 1.5 billion balls lost in the US every year since 2020. If those balls were laid in a row, they would extend around the Earth’s circumference more than one and a half times.\n Add in the rest of the planet’s golfers and the number of lost balls could be much higher, according to Torben Kastrup Petersen, course manager for Danish Golf Union, which has researched the environmental impact of lost balls.\n “While precise global estimates are challenging … the worldwide figure could easily exceed 3 to 5 billion golf balls lost each year,” Petersen told CNN.\n With courses present in 84% of the world’s countries, there are few environments that have not become unintended lodgings for a golfer’s errant shot. Tee drives have been struck everywhere from the icy plains of Greenland to the billowing rims of Hawaiian volcanoes, and from the peaks of South African mountains 4,500 feet above sea level to beside the whale-filled waters of Norwegian fjords.\n It doesn’t take a course to lose a ball either. In 2009, US scientists searching for evidence of the Loch Ness monster via submarine were stunned to make an entirely different discovery lurking amid the depths – tens of thousands of golf balls.\n It was thought that locals and tourists had been using the Scottish lake as an alternative driving range for years. Submerged in silt some 750 feet down on the inky black bed of the loch, the balls were beyond hope of retrieval without extensive equipment and expense.\n\n Water hazards\n\n A lifelong lover of all things marine, conservation biologist Matthew Savoca had been closing in on his PhD in ecology at the University of California, Davis, when, in 2017, he received a detailed scientific enquiry from an unlikely source – a high schooler.\n Alex Weber, a junior at Carmel High School, asked Savoca, the author of various papers on the impact of plastic pollution on ocean wildlife, for his advice regarding what she’d found snorkeling in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary near Pebble Beach.\n Curiosity piqued, Savoca was blown away when Weber lifted the doors on her parents’ garage to present her loot: barrel upon barrel overflowing with golf balls.\n By that point, in early 2017, Weber and friend Jack Johnston had collected around 10,000 balls. Over the next year and a half, the duo recruited friends and family to pluck almost 30,000 more from the shoreline and shallow waters off Pebble Beach and nearby coastal courses Cypress Point and Carmel River Mouth.\n Some employees from the world-renowned Pebble Beach course joined the effort, Savoca recalled, adding roughly 10,000 balls to take the total haul to 50,681 or, as Savoca puts it, a “startling” 2.56 tons of plastic debris – the weight of a small pickup truck.\n The findings were compiled in a peer-reviewed joint paper that the team hoped would serve as a blueprint for tackling the issue on a mass scale. Savoca estimated that at Pebble beach alone, as many as 186,000 balls – or 9.42 tons of debris – end up in the waters each year.\n “If we want this issue to be mitigated, to be dealt with, what we need is a blueprint – where the pollution is, how much pollution is out there, what are the collection methods that work and what are the consequences if we don’t do collections?” Savoca told CNN.\n\n “It’s there forever”\n\n Those consequences, Savoca says, could be dire for the harbor seals and endangered California sea otters that Weber watched playing among the swell of golf balls, as well as countless other species – humans included.\n Modern golf balls are typically composed of a synthetic rubber (polybutadiene) core encased within a synthetic polymer (urethane elastomer) cover.\n Manufacturers, Savoca explained, add zinc oxide, zinc acrylate and benzoyl peroxide to cores to boost flexibility and durability – substances “acutely toxic” to marine life. Intact, the balls pose little threat, but as they slowly disintegrate on the seafloor, these chemicals join tiny plastic particles seeping out into the ocean. These particles “just get smaller and smaller until they eventually get in the food web and eventually get into us,” Savoca explained.\n “Once they (golf balls) become those microscopic-type fragments, there’s basically no cleaning it – it’s there forever,” he added.\n “But you have an opportunity, when the materials are big enough to actually retrieve them, to prevent a type of pollution that’s impossible to deal with later – decades or even centuries from now.”\n Savoca estimated that roughly 28 kilograms (61.7 pounds) of irrecoverable debris had been lost to the sea from the balls they retrieved near Pebble Beach alone. The popularity of coastal golf courses worldwide means that globally, that number will be much higher.\n Mitchell Schols, founder of Canada-based Biodegradable Golf Balls, put a “very conservative” estimate for North America at one million balls lost to oceans annually. He estimated another 100,000 balls are lost to the sea each year in each of the next five biggest golf markets: Japan, South Korea, England, Germany and Australia.\n Consider that coastal golf courses are themselves vastly outnumbered by those located inland, and the implications of billions of balls bouncing into the environment are almost too much for Savoca to compute.\n “Just in America, you’re talking about tens of thousands of tons of this debris, every year,” Savoca said. “It’s really hard to wrap your mind around.”\n Savoca’s discoveries built on 2009 testing by the Danish Golf Union, which found golf balls release a high quantity of heavy metals when decomposing, with dangerous levels of zinc discovered in the synthetic rubber filling used in solid core balls.\n The researchers also concluded that it takes between 100 and 1,000 years for a golf ball to decompose naturally. Course manager Petersen stresses the need for “industry-wide solutions.”\n “Addressing this problem is not just about managing waste but also about mitigating broader ecological impacts,” Petersen said.\n “Golfers need to be made more aware of the environmental impact of lost balls,” he added.\n\n Bio-balls\n\n Potential solutions have surfaced in recent years.\n Spotting a gap in the market, Schols launched Biodegradable Golf Balls to offer an eco-friendly “guilt-free” alternative for golfers playing around – and even on – the water.\n They are made with a water-activated biodegrading compound that means the balls dissolve within four weeks of contact with water, releasing non-toxic corn starch and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a water-soluble synthetic polymer, which similarly disintegrates. If left on land, the balls could take between one and two years to biodegrade, Schols added.\n The company’s target market includes coastal resorts and events, boat owners and cruise ships, but not the average golfer. The lack of a rubber core contributes to a roughly 30% distance loss compared to the typical ball, Schols explained, meaning the balls are best suited to usage such as hitting targets near or into water.\n It is a similar story for Albus Golf, a Spanish golf ball manufacturer that designed the Ecobioball and Ecocoralball, which dissolve upon contact with water to release fish food and coral food respectively within 48 hours. Their “single-use” lifespan and performance drop-off severely limits their uptake among regular players.\n Schols is surprised that larger companies have not yet put a high-performance biodegradable “green-use” ball to market. Currently working on a version of his own, he is optimistic that big names will soon follow suit.\n “It’s only a matter of time before we see a lot of these bigger golf companies jump in and start putting the sustainability aspect of their business in the forefront of the consumer,” Schols said.\n\n Cleaning up\n\n Until then, the best solution may be the most obvious one, a five-word mantra that Savoca believes would go a long way to solving all manner of pollution: “Just clean up after yourself.”\n Many do. As Found Golf Balls’ entire business model attests to, lost does not necessarily mean unfindable. CEO Shienfield estimates that in the US 150 million balls a year are recovered from the environment and recycled through companies such as his own.\n By the USGA and R&A’s definition, a ball is deemed “lost” if it cannot be found within three minutes of the golfer or caddie beginning to search for it. That leaves a wide window for many to be retrieved at a later date, be it by a player, club staff, or even a good citizen – one man and his dog collected over 6,000 during a five-year effort in London.\n A global retrieval industry represents a potentially substantial alleviation in the pile up of lost balls. One UK-based man told CNN in 2015 that he could earn up to £100,000 (about $114,000) annually by diving to retrieve golf balls from lakes on golf courses. A 12-strong set of 2023 Titleist Pro V1 balls in near mint condition (minor markings or surface scratches) currently resells for $23.99 on the Found Golf Balls website.\n Some manufacturers are also making efforts to retrieve balls. According to Titleist’s website, its subsidiary PG Golf has recovered and resold over 39,000 tons of used golf balls since it was founded in 1992, recycling upwards of 40 million balls each year from courses across 43 states to put rubber, surlyn and urethane products “back into play.”\n Many courses operate their own in-house retrieval systems. TPC Sawgrass, for example, hires professional divers to help reclaim some of the estimated 120,000 balls that annually splash into the waters surrounding the Florida course’s legendary par-three 17th hole island green.\n Pebble Beach began a golf ball recovery program “in earnest” in 2017, a spokesperson for Pebble Beach Resorts told CNN. It regularly collaborates with professional divers to retrieve balls from the sea, as well as collecting balls from shoreline and beach areas, supplemented by communicating rules prohibiting golfers from intentionally hitting into the ocean.\n “Our collection efforts are part of a comprehensive program to be great environmental stewards across the entire resort, both on and off the golf course,” the spokesperson added.\n “Pebble Beach Resorts is situated on one of the most spectacular backdrops not only in golf, but the world over and we are committed to preserving the beauty and health of our natural environment for generations to come.”\n Such efforts serve to chip away at the growing number of lost balls – just how much of a dent they make, Savoca asserts, comes down to a matter of willingness.\n “I’m not here to say golf shouldn’t exist or people shouldn’t play golf,” he said, “but just try to do your best to clean up.”\n\n\n\n\n™ & © 2024 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Mid of rescued crew members being led away from coast guard helicopter on ground STORYLINE: US forecasters said on Monday that Hurricane Sandy was continuing to move quickly and should make landfall by early evening in southern New Jersey or Delaware. The National Hurricane Centre said the storm's top sustained winds were holding at about 90 miles per hour (150 kilometres per hour) with higher gusts. At 4 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT), Sandy's centre was about 55 miles (150 kilometres) east-southeast of Cape May, New Jersey. It was headed west-northwest at 28 miles per hour (44 kilometres per hour). Sandy was set to collide with a wintry storm from the west and cold air streaming down from the Arctic. The combination super storm could menace some 50 (m) million people in the most heavily populated corridor in the nation, from the East Coast to the Great Lakes. From Washington to Boston, subways, buses, trains and schools were shut down and more than 7,000 flights grounded across the region of 50 (m) million people. Hundreds of thousands of people were under orders to move to higher ground to await the storm's fury. Authorities warned that New York City and Long Island could get the worst of the storm surge: an 11-foot (3.35 metre) onslaught of seawater that could swamp lower Manhattan, flood the subways and damage the underground network of electrical and communications lines that are vital to the nation's financial capital. A construction crane atop a luxury high-rise in New York City collapsed and dangled precariously over the streets on Monday, which were cleared as a precaution. Forecasters said the winds atop the building may have been close to 95 miles per hour (152 kilometres per hour). The nearly completed high-rise is known as One57 and is in one of the city's most desirable neighbourhoods, near Carnegie Hall, Columbus Circle and Central Park. The New York Times recently called it a "global billionaires' club" because the nine full-floor apartments near the top have all been sold to billionaires. About 90 miles (150 kilometres) off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, a US coast guard team rescued 14 crew members by helicopter from the HMS Bounty, a replica 18th-century sailing ship that sank in a storm. The ship was built for the 1962 Marlon Brando film "Mutiny on the Bounty." Those rescued had donned survival suits and life jackets and boarded two lifeboats after the ship began taking on water. They were plucked from 18-foot (5.5 metre) seas just before sunrise. Two other crew members are still missing.
