SS United States, long docked in Philly, goes under the waves

The formerly Philadelphia-docked SS United States now rests at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Why it matters: So ends the vessel's strange odyssey from the United States' largest ocean liner to Philly landmark to world's largest artificial reef . Driving the news: The controlled sinking began Wednesday afternoon roughly 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin-Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The sinking was slow going and stretched on for hours, but it was all over around 10pm when the ship fully disappeared into the water. Zoom in: The SS United States now joins a smorgasbord of other sunken vessels and artificial reefs for divers to explore off the beach. Plus: The ship's iconic red-white-and-blue smokestacks, as well as radar mast and a massive five-blade propeller were removed before the sinking — all of which will be incorporated into a land-based museum for the ship nearby. 👷 How it works: No explosives were used to sink the ship. Instead, crews strategically placed openings in the ship's hull and underwent a controlled flooding, which allowed it to rest in an upright position on the Gulf floor. Several compartments and lower deck areas that were deemed unsafe were also sealed

VIDEO: Hailstorm Pummels Area

GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (November 13, 2026)– A hailstorm hit South Jersey and the Philadelphia area on Thursday afternoon, November 12, around 3 PM. The storm was predicted, but most paid no attention to the possibility. Simply put, it has been years since hail fell with the intensity shown in the video. So why did we see it now? We were able to pull up our porch window awnings, but the awning over the front door looks like a piece of Swiss cheese, as the hail destroyed it.

America’s oldest hospital and the future of brain science

Growing from its origins in progressive mental health care, Pennsylvania Hospital is shaping the future of advanced care for neurological diseases. In 1751, Benjamin Franklin and Dr. Thomas Bond opened Pennsylvania Hospital with a promise to provide compassionate care to people in need—including patients with mental ailments. At a time when mental illness was viewed through a lens of superstition or moral failing, Pennsylvania Hospital’s Dr. Benjamin Rush argued that patients were not possessed but suffering from diseases of the mind. His ideas helped lay the foundation for modern psychiatry and cemented Pennsylvania Hospital’s reputation as a leader in treating disorders of the mind and brain.
