General Daily Insight for June 25, 2023 Misunderstandings are easily made today.

By DAVID SHARP (Associated Press) PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The cost of the unprecedented search for the missing Titan submersible will easily stretch into the millions of dollars, experts said Friday. The massive international effort by aircraft, surface ships and deep-sea robots began Sunday when the Titan was reported missing. Searchers raced against a 96-hour clock in the desperate hope to find and rescue the vessel’s occupants before their oxygen supply ran out. But all hope was extinguished Thursday when officials announced the submersible had suffered a catastrophic implosion, killing all...

Prosecutors in a court filing Friday asked the federal judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s classified document case to push the trial date back from mid-August to December in Fort Pierce.
