The first of various ICE WARNINGS to the RMS Titanic comes from the Empress of Britain. Using radio leads the French liner SS La Touraine, launched on 21 March 1890, sent MORE messages to Captain Edward Smith, notifying an ice field as far south as 42°S (ROUGHLY the latitude of Chicago) on THIS day in 1912.

42DS from where the SSLT was? At that extreme heat not surprising icebergs are detaching? I know this isn’t breaking news but it feels like it

Real Madrid officially requested to play their league game vs Alaves on Saturday, as opposed to Sunday, to have more time before facing Arsenal.
However, La Liga denied their request.
