Please, stop stunt-casting Mr. Beast in your projects. He's not bringing you any numbers bump, he's certainly not a talent, and I promise you AT BEST it won't age well. In fact I have a hunch one day it'll be a huge stain on your work.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
