The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended the search for a 35-year-old man who was reported missing from a Carnival cruise ship off of Florida’s Atlantic Coast. The agency says the man fell from the Carnival Magic ship about 185 miles east of Jacksonville early Monday. The man’s companion reported him missing, and the ship’s crew notified the Coast Guard. Officials say security footage on the ship shows that the man “leaned over the railing of his stateroom balcony and dropped into the water” around 4 a.m. The Coast Guard searched for 60 hours, covering some 5,171 square miles. Carnival says the ship returned to port in Norfolk, Virginia.

Nepal’s government is honoring record-holding climbers during celebrations of the first ascent of Mount Everest 70 years ago. Mountaineers and other people attended a rally in Kathmandu to mark the anniversary Monday. Kami Rita was honored after he climbed the world’s highest mountain twice this season for a record 28 times overall. Sanu Sherpa, who has climbed all of the world’s 14 highest peaks twice, said May 29, 1953, was remembered as the day Sherpas became known. It was the day New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay reached the summit. During the 2023 climbing season, hundreds of climbers and their guides scaled the peak. Seventeen died or went missing.

Yellowstone National Park officials say they had to kill a newborn bison because its herd wouldn’t take the animal back after a man picked it up. Park officials say in a statement the calf became separated from its mother when the herd crossed the Lamar River in northeastern Yellowstone on Saturday. The unidentified man pushed the struggling calf up from the river and onto a roadway. Park rangers tried repeatedly to reunite the calf with the herd but were unsuccessful. Visitors saw the calf walking up to and following cars and people, creating a hazard, so park staff killed the animal.

Maddy Crawford strolled right past it for years. When she walked through SoHo on the way to various fashion and hospitality jobs, the antique red-and-green neon sign was just a familiar bit of scenery. It wasn't until last May that Crawford's head began to turn as she passed the sidewalk seating of the Fanelli Cafe, the venerable pub at the intersection of commercial thoroughfare Prince Street and picturesque cobblestone Mercer Street.
