A young man in a white plastic mask beats a pro-Palestinian protester. Another in a maroon hoodie strikes a protester with a pole. A local instigator pushes down barricades. Law enforcement stood by for hours as counterprotesters attacked the pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA on April 30, which erupted into the worst violence stemming from the ongoing college protests around the country over Israel’s war in Gaza. While a criminal investigation is underway into the assaults that occurred at UCLA, the identities of the most aggressive counterprotesters have gone largely unknown. A CNN review of footage, social media posts and interviews found that some of the most dramatic attacks caught on camera that night were committed by people outside UCLA – not the university students and faculty who were eventually arrested. 📷: William Gude; Etienne Laurent/AFP/Getty Images Read more at the link in our bio.

Airplane overhead compartments. Home to luggage of all shapes and sizes, the odd coat or two, several duty-free bags, a fair bit of dust and… passengers? Last week, a video was posted on TikTok appearing to depict a traveler on a Southwest Airlines flight peering out from inside an overhead locker. The clip quickly spread across social media, although the original TikTok seems to have since been deleted. A Southwest representative told CNN Travel the airline was also “aware” of last week’s locker incident and is currently “looking into it.” As British flight attendant Kris Major tells CNN Travel, the overhead bin is “not a certifiable place to be as a passenger.” “If we encountered turbulence they could get hurt – if they got blown out they could really get hurt and they could also hurt someone underneath them,” says Major, adding that a passenger in an overhead bin also wouldn’t have access to an oxygen mask in the event of an emergency.

It's a "silver lining to have come out of the terrible ordeal." British twin sisters Georgia and Melissa Laurie were enjoying a hot day in Mexico on vacation three years ago, swimming in a river, when Melissa spotted a crocodile in the water close by. Panic set in and they began desperately swimming away. Georgia reached the bank, but as Melissa was being pulled up onto it by another member of the group the crocodile reappeared and dragged her under the water. Georgia, now 31, plunged into the water and twice fought off the reptile to save her twin sister, an extraordinary act of bravery for which she is now receiving the King's Gallantry Medal. The award from King Charles III recognizes acts in which civilians put themselves at risk in an attempt to save someone else. Tap the link in bio for more. 📸 : Aaron Chown/PA

Ghost Shark and Manta Ray are the names of prototype uncrewed underwater vehicles – UUVs or drones – introduced recently by Australia and the United States respectively. Experts say the submersibles could represent the future of undersea warfare, showing the ability to exert power while minimizing the danger to human life. A 2023 study published in the Swiss journal Sensors points out that underwater communications require more energy but still see significant data loss to variables including water temperature, salinity and depth. Makers of the new generation of military UUVs aren't saying how they would overcome communications problems. But when Australia unveiled Ghost Shark last month, it called the prototypes "the most advanced undersea autonomous vehicles in the world."
