‘The Last Twins': Mengele's Twisted Studies
Dr. Josef Mengele, the notorious 'Angel of Death,' was one of the worst National Socialist war criminals who escaped justice after World War II. Thanks to the courage of Erno 'Zvi' Spiegel, many of the young twins, who served as Mengele's unwilling research subjects, survived the Auschwitz concentration camp and could have duly testified against their tormentor had he been captured.

Boat captain arrested after hit-and-run crash into USS Midway museum ship, causing $100K in damage: police
A 60-foot private vessel collided with the USS Midway in San Diego on Friday afternoon, leading to the arrest of its captain for allegedly boating under the influence and fleeing the scene, according to a Harbor Police spokesperson.

Authorities say the vessel struck the hull of the USS Midway, leaving a visible dent on the side of the historic decommissioned aircraft carrier, which now serves as a naval museum and popular tourist attraction.

The statue stands near the USS Midway.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man suspected of drunk driving a boat into the USS Midway has been arrested for "boating under the influence," port officials said. According to the Port of San Diego Police Department, Frank D'Anna, 40, was driving a 65-foot-long motor vessel when it collided with the USS Midway Museum. The crash occurred at approximately 11:54 a.m. on July 18 and was caught on surveillance video. Newsweek has contacted the Port of San Diego and the USS Midway for comment.

Hannah Hollerud/Defense Visual Information Distribution Services Why It Matters The USS Midway is one of San Diego's most recognizable landmarks and a major tourist destination attracting millions of visitors annually. No injuries were reported following the crash, but the USS Midway did sustain some damage, which will cost the Navy an estimated $100,000 in repainting and repairs, according to ABC10. What To Know A press release sent out by the Port of San Diego Public Safety said D'Anna's vessel, known as the Offshore Lifestyle, collided "head-on" with the USS Midway's port-side hull. Meaning, the left side body of the ship. The port said that the vessel was located near the Coronado Ferry Landing in San Diego after it fled the scene following the crash. There were seven individuals onboard when it was located. D'Anna has been booked into county jail for "655(B) Harbor and Navigation Code Boating Under the Influence (BUI), 656.1 Harbors and Navigation Code Hit and Run, and 655(C) Harbors and Navigation Code Operating Vessel with BAC Over .08," per the Port of San Diego Public Safety. The USS Midway is an aircraft carrier that joined the Navy's fleet in September 1945, missing World War II by one week, per the USS Midway site. It is named after the Second World War's Battle of Midway in 1942 between U.S. and Japanese naval forces in the Pacific. It was decommissioned in 1992, making it the 20th century's longest-serving aircraft carrier. It was turned into a museum in 2004. It now hosts over 700 events a year, and serves as an educational site for visitors. What People Are Saying Jagjit Bhambra, a Navy veteran speaking with ABC10, said: "I think we need to examine who was the captain of the little boat, why was he so close, how he did not notice such a massive ship in front of him." Mary Bhambra, Jagjit Bhambra's wife, told ABC10: "It's a famous ship. Maybe a fence around it or something like that, a barrier so the ship can be guarded and a lookout maybe for approaching hazards." What Happens Next If convicted of Boating Under the Influence, D'Anna could face a maximum of six months in prison and up to $1,000 in fines.
