Tammie Jo Shults, the level-headed pilot praised as a hero for steering the Southwest Flight 1380 to safety after it suffered an engine blowout, has received additional praise from one of the few people on earth who knows what must have been going through her mind at the time. Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger was the captain who managed to land US Airways Flight 1549 safely onto the Hudson River in Manhattan in 2009 when the plane suffered engine failure after hitting a flock of geese while flying over New York, saving all 155 people on board.

Hundreds of sharks and other fish have been discovered dead after getting tangled in floating a “ghost net” in the Caribbean. British fisherman Dominick Martin-Mayes made the horrifying discovery off the Cayman Islands, where he and his friends found the “solid net of decomposing fish and sharks” on Monday afternoon.

Samantha Bee gives Sean Hannity a taste of his own medicine
In light of the recent Michael Cohen scandal, Full Frontal With Samantha Bee decided to give Sean Hannity the " Hannity treatment." Samantha Bee made a wild accusation that he retained Cohen because he's a serial killer. Bee used a series of Hannity clips to prove her absurd claim. She said, "I know what you're thinking, you can't just throw a bunch of buzz words together and out of context clips just to support an outrageous conclusion. And normally I would agree with you but you know who does that all the time? Sean Hannity." Using a list of common behavior and personality traits amongst serial killers, Bee was able to make a case against the conservative pundit. She used his own words to theorize that he is a bed wetter with average intellect and fascination with fire. For further evidence, Bee called attention to the surprising number of sheds that Hannity has at his home. She said, "Who needs that many sheds if you're not storing barrels of melted people?" That was when Bee had an epiphany about Hannity and Cohen's relationship. She said, "How can you even build that many sheds on your land? No one could get zoned for that. I mean, you'd need real estate advice from a great attorney. Oh, my God!"
