A video showing a Kia Carnival driver swerving to hit a motorcyclist in Beaverton, Oregon, went viral this week, after the Beaverton Police Department released footage of the incident and asked the public for help identifying the driver. And by "swerving," I don't mean a quick jerk of the steering wheel that you could maybe, possibly argue might have been accidental.

The USS Harry S. Truman lost an F/A-18 Super Hornet worth more than $60 million in the Red Sea on Tuesday, and no, you aren't re-reading the same story from just over a week ago.

Or maybe it would be more accurate to say the USS Truman lost a second Hornet in the Red Sea because, wouldn't you know it, they both fell off the same boat, CNN reports.
