Morbi Bridge Collapse in India
On Oct. 30, a bridge collapsed in India, resulting in the deaths of at least 141 people. Nine people at the Oreva group, the company behind the bridge, have been arrested and are being investigated for culpable homicide, according to Ashtok Kumar Yadav, a senior police officer.
“Of these nine, two work as managers while two work as ticket booking clerks [all employed by Oreva] at the bridge site,” Yadav said at a news conference.
Built in 1880, when Britain ruled India, the bridge served as a popular tourist attraction in the town of Morbi. But at approximately 6:40 p.m. on Sunday, when there were roughly 400 to 500 people on it, the bridge collapsed, sending its occupants into the Machchhu river below.
Officials say 177 have been rescued. That added to those pronounced dead makes 318 – there could be over 100 individuals left to find among the wreckage and water.

Tensions Rise Between North and South Korea
Both South Korea and the U.S. have been conducting large scale military exercises, which has not gone unnoticed by North Korea, who call these exercises “aggressive and provocative.” They used these claims as justification for launching 23 missiles into waters near the South and over the Northern Limit Line.
“The most horrible price in history,” is what Pyongyang, on Tuesday, said they would pay if such drills continued.
The missiles were called escalatory and condemned by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Park Jin, Blinken’s South Korean counterpart.
In response, South Korea launched air-to-ground missiles into waters a similar distance past the Northern Limit Line.

Trump’s Lawyers’ Emails: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a ‘Key’ in Plan?
Per emails released by court order, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas may have played a part in former President Donald Trump’s alleged plans to meddle with the 2020 election in Georgia.
According to CNN, emails from a few of Trump’s attorneys – Kenneth Cheesebro and John Eastman – provide evidence towards the claim. In the email chain, Cheesebro writes having a case pending in front of the Supreme Court would be enough to prevent the Senate from counting Biden’s electors.
Cheesebro also noted Thomas would be key in this as emergency matters in the southeastern U.S. would be assigned to him.

21 Coffins with Plausible Connection to Tulsa Massacre Uncovered
For decades, there have been rumors of mass unmarked graves holding victims of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre. This past week, 21 coffins in unmarked graves were uncovered at Tulsa’s Oaklawn Cemetery.
17 adult-sized graves were found last weekend, according to Oklahoma State Archaeologist Kary Stackelbeck, while four more were found on Tuesday: two adult-sized and two child-sized.
The evidence – the coffins, then remains – will be investigated to see if any can be identified or confirmed as victims of the massacre.
The Tulsa Massacre consisted of a large white mob targeting a business district where homes were burned, destroyed and looted, resulting in the deaths of anywhere from 75 to 300 individuals.
