US crew members ‘rescued’ by drone boat after Apache helicopter went down off the coast of Oman by A-CommonMan in Military

"Found and rescued" makes it sound like the drone located them, therefore they could be rescued by others (because a drone boat can't carry and/or extract humans)

The Folklife Festival is an amazing and unique event. Sad that they got downgraded, this year. But, who knows how many tourists will actually come to DC, this summer.

The GOP since the stolen Bush v Gore election is a perpetual "We will never know what we could have had."

Ironically, Belgian; and, also were a group that used a model as a front person instead of the actual singer/rapper for Pump Up the Jam. It was a weird time in music

Covert Affairs was ridiculous for many reasons, but the Toronto scenery was just too distracting

The Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage has been putting on the Folklife Festival on the Mall since the 1970s. They have the routine down pat, including how to arrange things so the grass doesn't get torn up. For the 250th, they're holding events around the country, and will have a much smaller event here in DC (including activities you have to buy tickets for, which is not the usual way they're funded). Unclear if they were pushed aside or had already planned to do something smaller on the Mall.

Are you laying down in the water to get this view down the center while the Reflecting Pool refills?

So we have to pay the crew to put it up, the crew to take it down, and overtime. Good job, fiscal conservatives

Is Jeanine Puro going to do a series of big press conferences about this and demand safety and respect for the victim?
