0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hi, I am Johnny mag with five good news stories. I love this first story good news. If you're a spy pigeon, you've gotten out of attention. Indian police have cleared a suspected Chinese spy pigeon after eight months attention and released it into the wild. Back in May. The pigeon was captured near a portin Mumbai with two rings tied to its legs carrying words that looked like Chinese. Police suspected it was involved in espionage and took it in. They later sent it to the hospital for Animals. Eventually it turned out the pigeon's not a spy pigeon at all. By the way, I just bought the Netflix rights to a movie called Spy Pigeon. It turned out the pigeon was an open water racing bird from Taiwan that had escaped and made its way to India with police permission. The bird was transferred to the Bombay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty and Animals, whose doctors set it free. Exactly what a spy pigeons cover would be. Isn't it good news?
1:03 We may have found Amelia Earhart's plane eighty seven years after her disappearance. Deep Sea Vision is an ocean exploration company and they found something sixteen thousand feet below the sea. They think it could be Amelia Earhart's Locky ten E Electra aircraft that she was piloting. The wonderfully named Tony Romeo is the company's CEO, a pilot, and former US Air Force intelligence officer, and he gives good quote. He said, some people call it one of the greatest mysteries of all time. I think it actually is the greatest mystery of all time. The discovery was made with sonar, Romeo said, we always felt that Airhart would have made every attempt to land the aircraft gently on the water.
1:44 The sonar image suggests that may be the case. They're going to return to the area and look into this some more. They're hoping to get a visual confirmation of the serial number n R one six zero two zero printed underneath the wing of the Tenney Electra. Could be possible. Because it's sixteen thousand feet below the surface, objects can be preserved for long periods of time. If it is Amelia's plain, they hope to get it out of the ocean and bring it to the Smithsonian Institute. Wouldn't that be neat? Some volunteer knitters are completing unfinished projects left behind by deceased love ones. Jennifer and Mazie have found that a heartwarming nonprofit called the Loose Ends Project recognizing the sentimental value of handmade gifts and heirlooms. The organization aims to complete unfinished projects left behind by late loved ones. The Loose Ends Project has successfully completed over two thousand projects.
2:30 Nice Marshall Roberts and her team have been working on the Doll for All. It's the prototype of a doll that ultimately can be made to fully embody any disabled child. The first dolls, Evy and Max, are designed with limb differences in mind. The Doll for All design now has an eighteen inch vinyl doll made out of a total of seventy one parts with over thirty joints in specifications. This is in contrast to similar dolls which usually can only move at the hips and shoulders. Spokesperson says since they're individually assembled to looks so much like the child the cherishes them, they're intended to be passed down from generation to generation and good news if you like giant Ferris wheels and new enormous Ferris wheels going up in South Korea. It's going to break the record for the world's largest. This one dwarfs the London Eye. This is the sole TWINEE will stand five hundred and ninety one feet high. That's forty feet taller than the Washington Monument. But it's got a radical design. It won't have a single supporting spoke. It was designed by Dutch firm UNStudio. It's a spokeless Firris wheel with two intersecting rings. Each ring carries pods that seamlessly revolve around the inside and outside tracks. It can provide rides to more than fourteen hundred people simultaneously. That's double the capacity of the London one. I was on one of these in Melbourne, Australia. I think they actually tore it down. It's at least closed. The day I went. I think I had the entire thing to myself. I definitely had the car to myself, and it was heavily designed to hold more people than just me. The Sole Metropolitan Government says it plans to begin to instruction on theirs and twenty twenty five
4:02 The proposal also includes plans to build a monorail, which means I'm not gonna be singing the Simpsons song for the rest of the day, Monarel. That's your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, more monorails. Tell a friend about the show. They might like it too. You have a great day, Monorarel.
