A yacht exploded Monday at a port in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, killing one person and injuring five others, according to authorities. Just before 6 p.m., Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue received many 911 calls of an explosion on a ship at the Lauderdale Marina. When they got there, they discovered a large fire on one ship that swiftly spread to another. According to officials, three of the five individuals who were sent to neighboring hospitals had significant injuries. Divers reportedly looked through the water for a single person who had gone missing following the explosion. Later, the victim was discovered dead by the Broward Sheriff's Office. An EarthCam feedset up at the marina caught the explosion. The boat's explosion and more than three minutes of the aftermath are captured on camera. ...

Purchasing a fitness tracker has never been more difficult. It might be challenging to sort among the many models available from well-known, reliable manufacturers in order to locate the ideal one. Even I, who reviews smartwatches and tech for NBC Select, find it difficult to decide which to suggest to friends and family. I'll bombard you with a list of inquiries if you ask for a suggestion. Which phone do you own? Do you anticipate wearing this item every day? To sleep, even? Would you like to use it to send texts? Do you frequently run outside? Fortunately, I can highly suggest the Fitbit Charge 6 to everyone who has never had a smartwatch before or to people who believe that less is more. It is a compact, user-friendly watch that is less expensive than the majority of its competitors w...

The Christmas film Robert Eggers Nosferatu is an adaptation of the silent vampire classic. So does the prestige-cult director. Like most festive films released during this time of year, the picture is set against the backdrop of Yuletide, despite its focus on a monster's desire for blood and psychological dominance. In an interview with NBC News earlier this month, Eggers said, "The Christmas release date was a pitch from Focus Features [the film's distributor]." And I was rather pleased with it because of the movie's content and my own interests. (NBC News and Focus Features are owned by NBCUniversal.) Moviegoers have been getting their scare on for years thanks to the Christmas horror genre. Consider the Silent Night of 1984, the Deadly Night of 1984, and the Christmas Evil of 1980.Ther...

Following a Christmas tree burning that heightened fears that the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could signal crackdowns on Syria's religious minorities, hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Christian areas of Damascus. Video confirmed by NBC News shows hooded individuals burning a tree at a traffic circle in the Christian-majority town of Al-Suqalabiyah, close to the city of Hamain in central Syria, on Monday night, seemingly sparking the protests. A social media video that NBC News confirmed showed crowds in Damascus cheering. Lift up your cross, lift it! & Suqalabiyah, we will be at your side till the end! Just two weeks after his rebel group launched a swift onslaught that overthrew Assad, Syria's de facto new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has been attempting to ...

Democrats still face a difficult battle to seize control of the Senate in 2026, even though Republicans are defending a tiny majority. To seize control of the Senate in two years, Democrats must gain a total of four seats. Even though there are 20 Republicans and 13 Democrats competing for reelection in the 2017 midterm elections, several of the Republicans are contesting in states that lean heavily Republican. Two Democrats, Jon Ossoff of Georgia and Gary Peters of Michigan, are seeking reelection in states where President-elect Donald Trump won, while only one Republican senator, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, is running in a state that Vice President Kamala Harris won in November. Compared to their previous campaigns in 2020, when they were competing in a year with a record-breaking turno...
