 Titanic life jacket sells for nearly $1 million at auction as rare artifacts draw record interest    A life jacket worn by a Titanic passenger during the 1912 disaster has sold at auction for 670,000 pounds ($906,000), far exceeding expectations as collectors continue to drive strong demand for rare artifacts from the ill-fated voyage. The preserved flotation device belonged to first-class passenger Laura Mabel Francatelli, who escaped the sinking liner aboard a lifeboat. The item, which also bears signatures from Francatelli and other survivors from the same lifeboat, was the standout piece in a sale of Titanic memorabilia and was purchased by an anonymous telephone bidder. Auction estimates had placed the life jacket between 250,000 and 350,000 pounds, but competitive bidding pushed the final price well beyond that range, including the buyer’s premium.

 A Nebraska man who fatally struck a jogger is now suing the deceased man's estate claiming PTSD. Gavin Mass was driving along a dark road at approximately 4:45 a.m. on August 31st, 2025. As he traveled down the road, Gavin spotted a jogger, Bailey Miller, in reflective clothing. Gavin says he moved his vehicle in an attempt to give the jogger leeway.

 In a strange coincidence, a Titanic exhibit at the Volo Museum in Illinois flooded overnight on April 15th, the exact anniversary of the ship’s sinking in 1912. Even weirder, the source of the water is still unknown, as the building sits on high ground and nothing obvious inside was causing it after storms moved through the area. This is the second flooding issue since the exhibit opened a few years ago, it would be an odd detail any time of year, but happening on that date is kind of mind blowing.  Watch video below.
