http://youtu.be/dYF8jfEt2KM The “devastated” family of the prominent New York book publishing executive killed in a boat wreck off the Amalfi Coast said the tragedy is “impossible to comprehend.” In a statement to The Post Thursday, Mike White shared the grief his family has been experiencing since his wife, Adrienne Vaughan — the 45-year-old president of “Harry Potter” publisher Bloomsbury USA — was fatally struck by a speedboat propeller while vacationing last week. “Adrienne’s death has devastated our family. She was a beloved mother, wife, daughter, sister, niece, and dear friend and colleague to many,” her husband said. “Her absence from our lives and the terrible circumstances of her death are impossible to comprehend.” White said the family has placed their trust in the Italian...

http://youtu.be/DLy8UyqLK1M At least 55 people have died after the island of Maui was engulfed by intense wildfire flames that reduced entire neighborhoods to ashes, officials said — and the death toll is only expected to rise. Officials are still surveying the extensive damage, but already expect the tragedy to become the state’s deadliest natural disaster since a 1961 tsunami killed 61 people on the Big Island. The blazes decimated large swaths of the island, including more than 1,000 structures in the historic sector of Lahaina, where tourists had shopped and dined just days before. Rubble and blackened foundations lie where popular destination spots and landmarks stood, and torched boats were found still smoldering in the harbor, according to Hawaii Gov. Josh Green. “Lahaina, with...

http://youtu.be/LQoQ64bPo50 A rocket carrying a lunar landing craft blasted off Friday on Russia’s first moon mission in nearly 50 years, racing to land on Earth’s satellite ahead of an Indian spacecraft. The launch from Russia’s Vostochny spaceport in the Far East of the Luna-25 craft to the moon is Russia’s first since 1976 when it was part of the Soviet Union. The Russian lunar lander is expected to reach the moon on Aug. 23, about the same day as an Indian craft which was launched on July 14. The Russian spacecraft will take about 5.5 days to travel to the moon’s vicinity, then spend three to seven days orbiting at about 100 kilometers (62 miles) before heading for the surface. Only three governments have managed successful moon landings: the Soviet Union, the United States and Chi...

http://youtu.be/xwTlxFIRMcI Terrifying video shows desperate Maui residents fleeing into the treacherous ocean in an attempt to escape the wildfires that have devastated the area and killed at least 55 people this week. In the clip shared on TikTok by the account @chefjoshuamarten, multiple groups – including families with what appear to be small children – can be seen scaling the rocks into the rough surf off Lahaina while ash and smoke rains down and the flames close in. Many of the panicked escapees are wearing backpacks, and some are clinging to planks that appear to be wood and other objects in order to stay afloat. The harrowing footage – which has been viewed over 2 million times in just 10 hours – is among the latest to emerge of the vicious flames that, as of early Friday, hav...
