http://youtu.be/CK3ZmKj7_a4 It’s the leaning tower of San Francisco. The Bay Area’s Millennium Tower has only continued to tilt further and sink deeper west in spite of architects’ best efforts to steady the ritzy building. The multimillion-dollar-per-unit tower is now leaning more than 29 inches at the corner of Fremont and Mission streets — a slant over half an inch deeper than previously revealed, according to monitoring data reviewed by NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit. The half-inch tilt was reportedly gained while engineers dug beneath the sinking condominium earlier this year to support the weight of the tower — which was built atop a former landfill — along its two sides.

http://youtu.be/mJRBUD--CFk A heavily traveled section of I-95 collapsed in Philadelphia on Sunday morning after a tanker truck burst into flames underneath it, police said. The massive smoky blaze broke around 6 a.m. near the Cottman Avenue exit right beneath a northbound overpass in the Tacony neighborhood. Parts of the overpass were reduced to rubble as the stretch of the major highway collapsed, ABC reports. The highway catastrophe led to all lanes of the interstate being shut down between the exits of Woodhaven Road in northeast Philadelphia and Aramingo Avenue in the Port Richmond neighborhood.

http://youtu.be/uikuHivMphY Sen. Lindsey Graham and ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos got into a heated back-and-forth during a live interview Sunday about the federal indictment against ex-president Donald Trump. The South Carolina Republican — who has endorsed Trump as the Republican candidate for president in 2024 –exploded at the “This Week” co-anchor after he was asked to clarify if he believed the former president’s claims that he “did nothing wrong” in the classified documents cases. “No let me finish!,” Graham barked. The tense moment took place just 30 seconds into the interview, after Graham started to compare the case against the candidate to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, which prompted an FBI investigation in the home stretch of th...

http://youtu.be/vFoMYJLuLHg Casey DeSantis — the media-savvy wife of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — has been called everything from his “secret weapon” to “the power behind the throne” and “his biggest liability.” The fashionable 42-year-old former TV news journalist, breast cancer survivor and mom of three snagged headlines Tuesday as she kicked off her husband’s much-anticipated 2024 presidential campaign. But her charm, political involvement and alleged “vindictiveness” have long been a behind-the-scenes force in the Republican’s rise to power.

http://youtu.be/Kf1BDd4HWHs Three courageous good Samaritans jumped into action to rescue a California Highway Patrol officer who was being savagely beaten on the side of a busy road, intense video shows. One of the people who rushed to the officer’s aid, Everado Navarro, was driving to an event in Orange County on Friday when he saw two men brawling — and noticed the officer in a headlock. Navarro immediately pulled over and was then captured in footage rushing to help the CHP officer in what has since become a viral video.

http://youtu.be/gTC_LYXcc9I WARNING: Graphic Content - New York Post veteran Reuven Fenton reveals details on what happened when he and a photographer visited Shellyne Rodriguez's home to inquire about a viral video from earlier this month in which she freaked out on pro-life students in an expletive-laced tirade at Hunter College, where she had been employed as an adjunct. The manic Manhattan arts professor who held a machete to a Post reporter’s neck and threatened to “chop” him up surrendered to police Thursday. Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, was caught on camera wielding the blade and spewing menacing remarks Tuesday outside her Bronx apartment. She surrendered to the 43rd Precinct in the Bronx just after 7 a.m. Thursday. The shocking chain of events unfolded when the veteran Post repor...

http://youtu.be/4gYxZQKl-j8 Ending months of speculation, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared his presidential candidacy Wednesday, setting up a seismic clash with former President Donald Trump for GOP supremacy. “Well, I am running for president of the United States to lead our great American comeback,” DeSantis, 44, told billionaire Elon Musk during an audio-only Twitter Spaces event hours after filing paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. “Governing is not entertainment,” DeSantis said in an obvious swipe at Trump. “It’s not about building a brand or virtue signaling. It’s about delivering results and our results in Florida have been second to none.” The governor also declared, in a shot at Trump’s electability: ”If you nominate me, you can set your clock to January 20, 202...

http://youtu.be/W1AGoUmDqNI An Internal Revenue Service whistleblower who alleged prosecutors mishandled an ongoing tax evasion probe into Hunter Biden spoke publicly for the first time and said he felt he had no choice but to go public with the accusations that the probe was stymied. The 14-year-veteran of the IRS, Gary Shapley, claimed the Justice Department gave special treatment to the investigation in ways he had never witnessed before during an interview with “CBS Evening News” Tuesday. “There were multiple steps that were slow-walked — were just completely not done — at the direction of the Department of Justice,” Shapley told CBS News chief investigative correspondent Jim Axelrod in his first public remarks. “When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately sa...

http://youtu.be/T9xzzyTPUfQ A Calvin Klein ad from 2022 featuring a bearded transgender man in a sports bra before top surgery has gone viral — after Bud Light’s promotion with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney sparked a firestorm. Bappie Kortram, a tattooed trans influencer from the Netherlands, wore a bra that read “This is love” along with exposed underwear in the Calvin Klein Pride 2022 Campaign. “Calvin Klein wants to go broke,” Danish physician Anastasia Maria Loupis said in a tweet on Tuesday alongside the image, which quickly generated a backlash against the fashion brand. “What a great way to ‘Bud Light’ themselves,” one critic responded. “Looks like a Bud-Lite moment,” another echoed.

http://youtu.be/cdBoyM-dmkQ Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ highly anticipated presidential campaign launch with Elon Musk on Wednesday night got off to a rough start as the platform was disrupted by technical issues. DeSantis was slated to join Musk at 6 p.m. on Twitter Spaces to announce his White House bid, but the audio continually cut in and out for more than 20 minutes before a new Twitter Space was launched. “I’ve never seen this before,” Musk could be heard saying at one point during the outages. At one point, the Twitter space indicated there were over 400,000 users that tuned in to listen.

http://youtu.be/ZAyNl6OcM9c Pink Floyd’s troubled Waters strikes again. Controversial rock frontman Roger Waters is back in hot water after seemingly cosplaying as a Nazi SS officer — and comparing deceased Al Jazeera journalist Abu Akleh to Anne Frank at a recent concert in Germany. His stage costume featured crossed hammer imagery reminiscent of that based on a fictitious neo-Nazi organization featured in the 1982 film “Pink Floyd: The Wall.” The inflammatory performance, which went down last week at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, opened up with an announcement on a screen that read: “On a matter of public interest: a court in Frankfurt has ruled that I am not an anti-Semite.“ “Just to be clear, I condemn antisemitism unreservedly,” the message continued, the Jerusalem Post repo...

http://youtu.be/cMTHFhUfPSw A Memphis community leader ducked for cover during a drive-by shooting — while she was being interviewed on TV about how to reduce crime in a city park. The woman, who identified herself only as Yolanda, appeared on ABC24 to discuss a police plan to enforce a teen curfew in the southwest Tennessee city. But as the Whitehaven neighborhood resident was in the middle of spelling her name on video for the station’s camera crew, more than a dozen rapid-fire gun shots erupted, prompting her quickly to fall to the ground for cover.

http://youtu.be/XcBTNbjlhuM Much of the U.S. Western Pacific territory of Guam was without power and water on Thursday (May 25) after a typhoon packing ferocious winds and torrential rains battered the island but caused no reported fatalities or major injuries. Typhoon Mawar was one of the most powerful storms in decades to strike the island. Images posted on social media showed flooded streets, mangled trees and debris strewn across front yards and on main roads. Guam residents were ordered to boil their water until further notice as crews repaired generators damaged by Typhoon Mawar, local media and the Guam Waterworks Authority said. The typhoon's 150-mile (241 km) per hour winds downed power lines and trees, causing widespread power outages on the territory, one of the isolated Ma...

http://youtu.be/QT_7Z-ssp-o A Florida meteorologist went viral after she received a jump scare from a pigeon who swooped in at a beachside camera, freaking her out even though she was safe inside the studio. Chelsea Ambriz, of NBC6 South Florida, was preparing to give the upcoming forecast on Sunday when the bird flew straight at the camera on Hollywood Beach. Because Ambriz was inside the studio with the beach superimposed behind her, she caught the sight of a large pigeon flying right at her, startling the veteran forcaster. “Whoa, my gosh,’ she yelled, quickly stepping back with her arms braced before laughing at the jump scare. Ambriz was among the first to poke fun at herself, sharing the video on Twitter as she joked about the moment she thought the bird was really flying at her...

http://youtu.be/mMpiTv5k8u8 The manic Manhattan arts professor who held a machete to a Post reporter’s neck and threatened to “chop” him up flashed a brazen smile Thursday after law enforcement sources say she was slapped with harassment and menacing charges. A smirking Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, held her head high as she was escorted out of the 43rd Precinct in the Bronx in handcuffs just after 11 a.m. — several hours after turning herself in over Tuesday’s caught-on-camera ordeal. The professor had her slew of tattoos on full display, including “FTP” (for “F–k the police”) inked on her fingers, as well as an image of brass knuckles and the boxing term “southpaw” scrawled across her hand. Earlier, Rodriguez had worn black sunglasses and was flanked by a handful of supporters as she walke...

http://youtu.be/_JOPQCw2hpM A shocking Reddit video shows an NYPD SUV swerving around a Queens highway, apparently trying to ram a moped rider and knock them off their vehicle in the middle of traffic. The 39-second clip, taken by the occupants of a car just behind the officer and posted Wednesday by a Redditor named MelBloccs, captured the SUV attempting to box in the moped by pushing it toward a cement divider on what appears to be the Van Wyck Expressway. When the moped slowed down and cut back across the lanes, the SUV banked hard and nearly hit the rider again. The car’s occupants expressed their shock at the cop’s behavior, saying, “Look at this guy – look at him! Oh my god, he’s trying to hit him!” They also called 311 to report the officer’s behavior and list out his license p...

http://youtu.be/LFYjeBXnwIA Stormy Daniels regrets ever coming forward about her alleged quickie with former President Donald Trump — accusing his “sycophants” of even attacking her horse. The dejected-sounding porn star admitted on UK TV that she fears Trump, 76, will “get away with” the criminal charges he faces tied to alleged hush-money payouts to hide a tryst ahead of the 2016 election. “I spoke my truth, but it was just for nothing,” Daniels, 44, complained on “Good Morning Britain” Wednesday.

http://youtu.be/ELQoFijyFVo Newly released images show tech founder Bob Lee with accused killer Nima Momeni in the elevator of a San Francisco apartment building minutes before he was fatally stabbed. Lee, 43, is seen in surveillance footage leaving the Millennium Tower, where he had visited his party pal and alleged lover Khazar Elyassnia, in the early morning hours of April 4. In one freeze-frame he is looking at the man across from him, who police say then viciously killed him. The photos, released in court papers related to Momeni’s case, is one of a handful of images showing the moments before and immediately after Lee was stabbed and left to die.

http://youtu.be/rvfmpgCpFuw First Lady Jill Biden suffered a Jeb Bush “please clap” moment on Thursday when her applause line fell utterly flat during an event in Washington. “I’ve visited red states and blue states and I’ve found that the common values that unite us are deeper than our divisions,” Biden told an audience at the Reagan Institute Summit on Education in Washington, DC. After saying the line, the first lady paused for a moment before reacting with surprise at the spectators’ non-reaction. “And, um, I thought you might clap for that,” said Biden, drawing laughs and applause. The first lady’s plea for plaudits was reminiscent of former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s viral moment of desperation on the campaign trail in 2016.

http://youtu.be/7AxU1ntGQI4 A passenger aboard a South Korean flight opened an emergency door moments before the plane landed — sparking caught-on-video chaos and panic among the 194 passengers in the wind-swept cabin. The Asiana Airlines Airbus A321 was about to land in Daegu after a flight from the southern island of Jeju on Friday when the passenger pulled the emergency exit handle at an altitude of about 700 feet, officials said. Some of the other passengers tried to prevent the person from reaching the door but it partially opened, sending air whipping throughout the cabin as terrified fliers gripped their armrests. Among the 194 passengers onboard were several teenage athletes who were on their way to a weekend sporting event in Ulsan. At least a dozen people suffered minor inju...

http://youtu.be/O2v0KYzwusc An extremely rare shooting and stabbing attack in Nakano, a rural town in central Japan, ended on Friday with the deaths of four people. The suspect who was detained after a 12-hour standoff with police, is the 31-year-old son of the head of Nakano’s city council in Nagano prefecture. Police responded to reports late Thursday of a man dressed in camouflage stabbing a woman and firing a hunting rifle. The son then barricaded himself in his father’s house with the gun and shot at police, the crack of rifle fire caught on camera, late at night. Two police officers were shot and killed. The woman who was stabbed was pronounced dead after she arrived at a hospital. Another elderly woman also died after an apparent knife attack. Local reports say she had been ...

http://youtu.be/Lf5wqYjnPao An Indiana board decided Thursday night to reprimand an Indianapolis doctor after finding that she violated patient privacy laws by talking publicly about providing an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from neighboring Ohio. The state Medical Licensing Board voted that Dr. Caitlin Bernard didn’t abide by privacy laws when she told a newspaper reporter about the girl’s treatment in a case that became a flashpoint in the national abortion debate days after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer. The board, however, rejected accusations from Indiana’s Republican attorney general that Bernard violated state law by not reporting the child abuse to Indiana authorities. Board members chose to fine Bernard $3,000 for the violations, turning down...

http://youtu.be/BIJBmo6Qf-s Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has hit back at former President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks, claiming the bombastic broadsides prove Trump is threatened — as the governor accused his 2024 rival of “moving to the left.” DeSantis, 44, officially declared his presidential bid Wednesday, setting up a fiery clash with the 76-year-old Trump for GOP domination. Trump, who has established himself as the front-runner for the Republican nomination, has spent the months since he launched his own campaign in November taking swipes at his one-time ally. “I think a lot of what he’s doing is showing everybody that he understands that I’ve got a good chance to beat him,” DeSantis told “Good Morning NH” Thursday when asked why Trump was “really fixated on attacking” him.

http://youtu.be/zDEK8VA6m80 A young Brisbane woman who had “plans to travel the world” has “tragically and suddenly” died in front of her parents during a family dinner. Dani Duchatel, 26, went into cardiac arrest just after 10 p.m. on Sunday, May 21, while having dinner and playing cards with her parents at their home in Moreton Bay. The government worker had recently broken her leg and was staying with her parents while recovering from surgery. Doctors believe due to the surgery, a blood clot had formed and caused a pulmonary embolism, although they are still awaiting autopsy results.

http://youtu.be/dNedsRaLfgU Forty crocodiles killed a Cambodian farmer today while he was attempting to wrangle one of his reptiles. The “crocodiles pounced, attacking him until he was dead,” Mey Savry — police chief of Siem Reap commune, where the man’s farm was located — told Viral Press of the freak accident. The 72-year-old victim, named Luan Nam, had reportedly entered the enclosure so he could remove one of the crocs from a cage where it had laid eggs. Things took a disastrous turn after the beast “attacked the stick” he was using to corral it, “causing him to fall into the enclosure,” according to Savry. All of a sudden, the reptile shepherd was beset by dozens of the animals, which ripped his body to shreds, leaving the paddock awash in blood. Read more at https://nypost.com/...

http://youtu.be/5zokjkWgGEA Chilling video caught the moment protective Maryland dad Christopher Wright was brutally body-slammed and beaten to death in front of one of his young sons — but also reveals he threw the first punch. Grainy footage from a neighbor’s security camera shows the 43-year-old dad outside his suburban Baltimore home being confronted by a group his family says were hunting for his 14-year-old son, Trenton, over a petty schoolyard dispute. The footage, shot from some distance down the street on May 19, shows Wright pointing animatedly to his left, toward where another of his three sons stands by his side. The dad then points his left arm at the apparent ringleader, before throwing a right punch toward his head. It is not clear if the punch lands, but Wright immedia...

http://youtu.be/bfyAX03iHas House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Friday negotiators "made progress” on an agreement with the White House to raise the debt limit as they race to close out a deal ahead of a looming deadline to avert a potentially catastrophic default. McCarthy told reporters at the Capitol that there is still more work to do. The two sides are narrowing on a two-year agreement that would curb federal spending and lift the borrowing limit ahead of a deadline as soon as June 1 when Treasury could run out of money to pay the nation's bills. President Joe Biden and the Republican speaker hope to strike a budget compromise this weekend. Any deal would need to be a political compromise, with support from both Democrats and Republicans to pass the divided Congress. A person famil...

http://youtu.be/VXplcBg4q2Y Ex-Marine Daniel Penny insisted to The New York Post Saturday that the chokehold killing of Jordan Neely had nothing to do with race — and everything to do with a broken system “that so desperately failed us.” In his first public comments since the caught-on-video May 1 tragedy on an F train, Penny was both soft-spoken and stoic about being at the center of a political and racial firestorm, as he faces criminal charges that could send him to prison for up to 15 years. “This had nothing to do with race,” said Penny, 24, sitting under a gazebo at Argyle Park in Babylon, not far from the Long Island beaches where he grew up surfing. Dressed in black slacks, a blue zip-up jacket and beat-up Vans sneakers, Penny didn’t flinch when asked about Neely, a black, 30-y...
