Sipas policisë kundër terrorizmit, dy burrat dyshohet se planifikonin të përdornin një pajisje shpërthyese të improvizuar.Të dy u arrestuan më 20 shtator, në prag të Yom Kippur, ditës më të shenjtë të kalendarit hebraik.Sipas akuzave, Salehi dhe Ahmadyan dyshohet se përdorën aplikacione të koduara për të siguruar materiale dhe komponentë me të cilët do të ndërtonin një pajisje shpërthyese të improvizuar.Policia pretendon gjithashtu se ata kishin marrë udhëzime në video për ndërtimin e pajisjes dhe kishin siguruar lëngje, përbërës dhe pajisje të tjera të nevojshme.Hetuesit pretendojnë se dy burrat kryen kërkime në internet për objektiva të mundshëm dhe siguruan imazhe, plane dhe harta, si dhe kryen veprime zbulimi.Dy të dyshuarit u arrestuan në Newton Street, në zonën Northern Quarter të Mançesterit, përpara se të dërgoheshin në paraburgim në një stacion policie në Londër.Ata u ndaluan në bazë të nenit 41 të Aktit të Terrorizmit të vitit 2000, ndërsa policia kundër terrorizmit mori kohë shtesë për t’i marrë në pyetje.Policia Metropolitane, e cila po udhëheq hetimin, tha se kontrolle janë kryer edhe në prona në Epworth Street në Liverpool dhe Lancaster Road në Salford.Vicki Evans, koordinatore e lartë kombëtare e policisë kundër terrorizmit, tha se hetimi i përbashkët me shërbimet e sigurisë kishte çuar në ndërprerjen e asaj që autoritetet besojnë se ishte një komplot kundër komunitetit hebre në Mançester.Ajo paralajmëroi gjithashtu për kërcënime më të gjera që, sipas saj, lidhen me Iranin dhe që po projektohen ndaj Mbretërisë së Bashkuar.Evans theksoi se rasti nuk është i lidhur me hetimin për incidentin në bazën ajrore RAF Fairford.Sekretarja e Brendshme britanike, Shabana Mahmood, tha se arrestimet janë një kujtesë e kërcënimeve që vijnë nga terroristët dhe aktorët e huaj shtetërorë.Ajo tha se lajmi është veçanërisht shqetësues për komunitetet hebraike, pasi arrestimet ndodhën pranë Rosh Hashanah dhe Yom Kippur.

Tihomir Stanić privukao pažnju oštrom prognozom izbornog poraza SNS-a New

Tihomir Stanić privukao pažnju oštrom prognozom izbornog poraza SNS-a

Tihomir Stanić. Skup podrške ispred Prekršajnog suda Foto: FoNet/Milica Vučković autor: 02. okt. 2026. 21:45 Glumac Tihomir Stanić, kandidat liste "Studenti pobeđuju“, ocenio je da Srpskoj naprednoj stranci opada podrška i da vlast, kako tvrdi, sve oštrijim napadima na političke protivnike pokušava da ublaži posledice mogućeg izbornog poraza. Stanić je rekao da takav utisak stiče i u razgovorima sa građanima tokom kampanje, navodeći da veruje u ubedljivu pobedu Studentske liste na izborima. Oglas Govoreći o nizu incidenata koji prate predizbornu kampanju, Stanić je ocenio da nasilje nije nova pojava i da ga vlast, prema njegovom mišljenju, pokušava da pripiše političkim protivnicima."Nasilje je ono što krasi ovu vlast decenijama, od samog početka, a i sam nosilac ove liste hvalio se svojim iskustvima sa navijačkim grupama. Oni pokušavaju kroz medije koje kontrolišu, a to su skoro svi mediji, da nasilje pripišu nama. Kao što su ranije pokušavali da nas okarakterišu kao nasilnike, ustaše i teroriste, tako je i sada u pitanju negativna kampanja protiv liste koja, očigledno, po raspoloženju u narodu ima šansu da skloni ovu vlast sa političke scene“, rekao je Tihomir Stanić.On je dodao da, prema njegovom mišljenju, upravo vlast raspolaže polugama sile."Oni imaju poluge sile. Kod njih je sila. Nismo mi ti koji želimo silom. Mi smo tražili izbore i dobili smo ih“, rekao je.Stanić smatra da se pojedini incidenti u kampanji koriste kako bi se pažnja javnosti skrenula sa drugih događaja."Da bi prikrili napad gradonačelnika Šapića na odbornicu, na ulici, gde i sam kaže da joj je prišao, oni sada provociraju i skreću“, rekao je."Njihova pesma je ‘četiri godine bola i tuge’, a mi pevamo o tri poljupca"On je odbacio tvrdnje da su ljudi koji podržavaju Studentsku listu skloni nasilnom ponašanju."Mi nemamo ni potrebu, niti je u prirodi ljudi koji su na Studentskoj listi i koji je podržavaju, da se nasilnički ponašaju. Kada pogledate ljude koji su bili u Ćacilendu, videli smo u mnogim prilozima da tamo sede i ljudi sa kriminalnim dosijeima, osuđivani za različite vrste nasilja. Onda je jasno čije je to oružje“, naveo je Stanić.Govoreći o atmosferi među građanima tokom kampanje, on je rekao da na terenu sreće ljude koji, prema njegovom utisku, jedva čekaju izbore 25. oktobra."Ja razgovaram sa ljudima, ne samo u kampanji, srećem razdragane ljude koji jedva čekaju 25. oktobar. Njihova pesma koju pevaju je ‘četiri godine bola i tuge’, a mi pevamo o 'tri poljupca'. Već se tu vidi ogromna razlika“, rekao je Stanić."SNS pokušava da spreči svoju kataklizmu"Stanić je istakao da veruje da će vlast izgubiti izbore, navodeći da takav utisak stiče na osnovu kontakta sa građanima."Svi argumenti i napadi koje vlast i njihovi mediji koriste pokušavaju da spreče svoju kataklizmu. Oni će kataklizmično izgubiti izbore. Verovatno su ih i raspisali jer su videli da im opada podrška, to se vidi na terenu“, rekao je.Govoreći o kulturi, oblasti kojom bi se, kako je rekao, bavio ukoliko Studentska lista dođe na vlast, Stanić je naveo da program te liste predviđa rešenja i za taj sektor."Dovoljno će biti, naravno, uz povećanje budžeta za kulturu, da se stvari departizuju“, rekao je.Departizacija i konkursi rešenje za oblast kultureOn smatra da je jedan od ključnih problema partijsku kontrola kulturnih institucija."Vidite da u pozorišta dolaze ljudi koji nikada nisu bili da gledaju neku predstavu, pa uništavaju nešto što su ljudi stvarali decenijama“, rekao je Stanić.Prema njegovim rečima, osnovna promena trebalo bi da bude vraćanje odlučivanja stručnjacima i ljudima iz kulture."Departizacija, ono što će Studentska lista sprovesti i u svim drugim sferama, konkursi – to će biti dovoljno. Filmski centar nije imao konkurs ko zna od kada“, rekao je.Stanić je ocenio da bi stručnjaci trebalo da imaju odlučujuću ulogu u institucijama kulture."Dovoljno će biti da se ljudima iz struke i onima koji stvaraju umetnost poveri da odlučuju o nečemu što je njihova sudbina, i onda će sigurno i celo društvo da se promeni nabolje“, rekao je."FEST se oteo od nas i postao partijska manifestacija"Govoreći o festivalima, Stanić se osvrnuo na BITEF i FEST, ocenjujući da su izgubili deo nekadašnjeg karaktera."Krenulo je sa BITEF-om, kada su jednog autora cenzurisali, pa smo napravili Ne-BITEF. Ali, i FEST se oteo od nas, i on je otet od nas i postao je jedna partijska manifestacija i jedan deo predizborne kampanje“, rekao je za N1.On je dodao da, prema njegovom mišljenju, deo publike bojkotuje FEST jer ga doživljava kao deo političke promocije vlasti.

Alketa Vejsiu Breaks Her Silence on Her Private Marriage to Ardian

Alketa Vejsiu, në “Live me Luizin” ka folur hapur për marrëdhënien me bashkëshortin e saj, për të cilën është “hermetike” thuajse gjithnjë, ndërsa kurrë nuk ka zgjedhur që ta ekspozojë atë në rrjetet e saj sociale.Luiz Ejlli “e ka ngacmuar” duke e pyetur sesi prezantohet ajo te njerëzit që nuk e njohin.Luizi: Nëse shkon diku dhe nuk të njohin, si e prezanton veten?Alketa: Po ti si e prezanton veten?Luizi: Burri i KiarësAlketa: Ashtu i thua? Dhe unë do ta marr këtë model, e bëj vazhdimisht, nuk e kam qëllim në vetvete. Por do them jam gruaja e Ardianit, një burrë i jashtëzakonshëm që gjithë jetën më trajtoi si një grua të përvetshme, mamaja e Lionelit dhe Nikollës, dhe Alketa, një vajzë e mirë, që bën dhe televizion herë pas here”, (qesh).E pyetur nëse është xheloze për bashkëshorten, ajo tha: “Nuk jam, se nuk më jep shkak ai”.Por përse nuk e poston asnjëherë në rrjetet sociale?“Respektoj dëshirën dhe lirinë e tij, sepse nuk është njeri që i përket botës së showbizit. Kështu ka qenë që në fillim dhe unë respektoj limitet e partnerit, siç ai më ka dhënë liri të jetoj unë plotësisht pasionin tim.”“Unë jam njohur me të pa bërë ende 20 vjeç, ai ishte 33 vjeç, një djalë i ri, i pjekur, i cili e pa që unë kisha rrugë për të bërë dhe nuk donte kurrsesi që planet tona familjare të ndërprisnin rrugën time për të bërë gjënë që mua më bën të lumtur. Ne kemi një marrëdhënie të stabilizuar prej vitesh që nuk ka nevojë për teste të kësaj natyre”.Luizi: Çfarë të mbush mendjen që nuk të tradhton?“Nuk e kam fare këtë shqetësim. Nuk ka të bëjë me sigurinë në vetvete, ka të bëjë me një pakt të heshtur që bëjnë dy njerëz kur vendosin për të çuar disa projekte të mëdha bashkë, dhe projekti më i madh janë fëmijët, është familja, pastaj janë dhe ca projekte të mëdha të bukura që kanë lidhje me ëndrrat tona të përbashkëta. Kështu që kam kohë unë, Luiz, të mendoj për këto gjëra kur unë e kam çdo ditë para syve pikturën e jetës time. Dhe e dyta, unë nuk merrem me askënd që është jashtë orbitës ku rrotullohemi ne të katërt, dhe jo për egoizëm dhe cinizëm, por mendoj se i përmbush të gjitha kriteret për të qenë një grua që mund të qëndrojë gjatë në kohë si një këngë që nuk del kurrë nga moda”, tha ajo.

Taylor Brown Sparks Reactions With Blunt Drew Campbell ‘Lapdog’ Remark

“Big Brother 28” runner-up Taylor Brown is celebrating that third-place finisher Drew Campbell got evicted by his closest ally, “Survivor 38” alum Rick Devens, during the dramatic finale.“It just proved that Drew is nothing but a lapdog to the ‘Icons,’ like he’s been for 87 days and like he will continue to be,” Brown, 28, exclusively told Page Six.Brown said that all season long, the “Icons” — Devens, “Survivor 45” winner Dee Valladares and “Big Brother 26” alum Angela Murray — “literally had [Campbell] on a leash, and if they asked him to bark, he would ask how loud.”“Big Brother 28” runner-up Taylor Brown (seen above) called third-place finisher Drew Campbell a “lapdog” to the “Icons” after the finale. Page SixBrown (seen above with Campbell and winner Rick Devens) said Devens and the other “Icons” had Campbell “on a leash” all season. CBS via Getty Images“So I’m not surprised,” she added of Campbell’s eviction. “Drew did what we knew Drew would do. And that’s why Devens sent him out the door.”Campbell, 22, was closely aligned with the “Icons” instead of the other newbies on “Big Brother 28.” But during Thursday’s live finale, Devens, 42, decided to cut Campbell and take Brown to the end, leaving the surgical dental assistant in tears when he left the house.Still, Campbell, and five other jurors, voted for Devens to win the $750,000 grand prize. Brown, meanwhile, only got LaTrice Verrett’s vote and came in second place, taking home $75,000.Brown (seen above with Campbell) added: “Drew did what we knew Drew would do. And that’s why Devens sent him out the door.” CBSDevens beat Brown (seen here with Campbell) in the final two after he evicted Campbell during Thursday’s night finale. Matthew Taplinger/CBSThe elementary school counselor, who was on the block six times this season, told Page Six she thinks the jury misunderstood her gameplay.“I think maybe if they watch the show back, if they see a little bit of the live feeds, that they would definitely see that I was in a position where I couldn’t win,” she explained. “I couldn’t get in on any alliances. I couldn’t form bonds that I can trust and continue to move forward with.”Brown continued, “It felt like my game just constantly fell apart every time I tried to be more aggressive, more vocal, more active. So that’s why I did my pod thing and it worked for me. I was able not to wear a mic and I could kind of talk things out and process things out.”Brown (seen here) said she thinks the jury will understand her gameplay better if they watch the season back. CBS“It just felt like my game just constantly fell apart every time I tried to be more aggressive, more vocal, more active,” the elementary school counselor (pictured above) told Page Six. CBSAdditionally, Brown doubled down on her argument to the jury that Devens and the other “Icons” had an unfair advantage in the game.“They came into this house with people in awe of them,” she said. “They came in with a fan base, which means they were more likely to be voted to get these powers.”Brown added, “And because of that, that is the definition of elitism, power and privilege.” Community GuidelinesWelcome to the Page Six Community!Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.

Why First-Time Buyers in NYC May Need 65 Years to Save New

Why First-Time Buyers in NYC May Need 65 Years to Save

See more of our coverage in your search results. New Yorkers hoping to buy their first home may need to start saving decades before they get the keys.New York City is the hardest major market in America for first-time buyers to scrape together a down payment, with a typical household needing a staggering 65.2 years to save enough, according to a new analysis from Rocket.The median first-time buyer in the Big Apple puts down $265,000 — a 30% of the $883,333 purchase price, the analysis found.At a 5% savings rate, a typical NYC household would need 65.2 years to save the amount needed. Getty ImagesThat puts New York well ahead of even notoriously expensive California markets.In San Francisco, a typical household would need 57.2 years to save the median $400,000 down payment, equivalent to roughly 27% of a $1.5 million purchase.Los Angeles came in third, requiring 41.5 years to accumulate its $170,500 median down payment on an $852,500 home.Boston followed at 37.8 years, with first-time buyers typically putting $185,000 down, while Anaheim and San Jose, both in pricey California, tied at 33.6 years. First-time buyers in San Jose put down a median $249,000 on a roughly $1.1 million purchase.The calculation assumes a household saves 5% of its income every year. Rocket combined 2024 Census household-income data with down payments made by its first-time buyer mortgage customers between May 2025 and May 2026.Boston first-time buyers need 37.8 years to save the typical $185,000 down payment. Getty ImagesThat means the eye-popping 65-year figure isn’t how long New Yorkers actually spend saving. Rather, it illustrates just how far the typical household’s income is from the amount first-time buyers are putting down in the city.In New York, the median household income used in the analysis was $81,228, meaning saving 5% annually would amount to just over $4,000 a year.The picture changes dramatically hundreds of miles west.In Warren, Michigan, the median first-time buyer puts down just $8,797, or 5% of the $175,940 purchase price. A typical household could theoretically save that amount in only 3.1 years.Nearby Detroit was second-fastest at 3.9 years, where buyers put down a median $7,600 — also about 5% — on a $152,000 home.Detroit first-time buyers need just 3.9 years to save the typical $7,600 down payment. Getty ImagesVirginia Beach and Fort Worth followed at 4.3 years each, while Indianapolis and Milwaukee both came in at roughly 4.4 years.The vast divide isn’t solely the result of coastal homes costing more. Buyers in expensive markets are also putting a much larger share of the purchase price down.In New York, first-timers put down a median 30%, six times the 5% share seen in Detroit and Warren.New York’s notoriously demanding co-op market may help explain the difference. Many co-op and condo buildings require buyers to put 20% to 30% down, according to Redfin agent Jason Warner.“The price point is so much higher in New York City than it is in most of the country,” Warner said in Rocket’s report.He said the hurdle has changed the profile of the city’s first-time buyer.“Since it takes a bit longer for first-time home buyers to save here, I’m now often helping mid-career professionals in their late 30s and early 40s to buy their first home after decades of renting,” Warner said.Down-payment timelines vary wildly across the US. Getty ImagesAnd bringing more cash to the table can matter beyond simply satisfying a lender or building.With inventory tight and sellers weighing which deals are most likely to make it to closing, a hefty down payment can make an offer appear stronger, Warner said.The findings come as first-time buyers nationwide continue to face a daunting affordability equation.The typical US homebuyer put down $64,000, or 15% of the purchase price, in March, according to a separate Redfin analysis. That’s roughly double the dollar amount buyers were putting down before the pandemic, largely because home prices have soared.And despite some recent improvement in affordability, the typical American household still earns substantially less than what’s needed to comfortably buy a home.Redfin estimated in June that a household needed to make about $109,800 a year to afford the typical US home, compared with an estimated median household income of about $87,600.NYC first-time buyers put down a median $265,000, or 30% of the purchase price. Getty ImagesFor New Yorkers, the gap is even wider: Redfin estimates a buyer needs to earn roughly $233,000 to afford a typical home in the metro, while its estimated median household income is about $98,000.For would-be buyers who don’t have decades to wait, family assistance has increasingly become part of the equation.Rocket’s analysis cited a Redfin survey finding that nearly a quarter of young recent homebuyers had used family money toward their down payment.Others are widening their searches or adjusting their expectations.But for buyers determined to stay in New York, the numbers illustrate the extraordinary amount of cash it can take just to get through the front door.

Donald Trump sparks reactions after revising his controversial favorite word New

Donald Trump sparks reactions after revising his controversial favorite word

Published 17:42 2 Oct 2026 GMT+1The president has had to reconsider is 'favorite' wordDonald Trump has revealed a fresh list of his 'favorite words' after claiming he 'suffered' for his previous pick.The president is no stranger to going off script.Whether he's delivering a speech, taking questions from reporters or addressing his supporters, the president has developed a reputation for veering away from prepared remarks.His speeches can therefore offer plenty of material for anyone keeping track of the words and phrases he seems particularly fond of.AdvertBut it seems he landed himself in hot water after declaring that 'tariff' was his 'favorite word' some months ago, in a move which seemingly angered both Republicans and Democrats - for slightly different reasons.Speaking at the White House, Trump said: "Another one of my favorite words is the word tariff. I used to say it's my favorite word. They said, what about God? What about religion? What about family and your wife, your children? So now I make it my fifth favorite word."Trump has reconsidered his infamous 'favorite' word. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)"I suffered for that one," the president added.And users online were quick to weigh in."Still wild people take this seriously," one wrote. As another added: "He just listed 5 other words, so it would have to be his 6th favorite word. To be fair, based on his history, 'wife' is probably not anywhere near the top 5."One branded him 'cringe', as another said: "He's so freaking weird."Trump’s tariffs have proved controversial, with supporters arguing they protect American industries and strengthen the US’s position in trade negotiations, while critics warn they can drive up prices, disrupt supply chains and trigger retaliatory measures from other countries.It seems the president has more than one favourite word. (Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)But this isn't the first time Trump has revealed some of his personal 'favorites'.A 2015 interview saw the president give a particularly unusual answer when asked to name his favorite passage from the Bible.Calling the Bible something that ‘means a lot to me,’ he seemed to struggle with the question, and ultimately refused to answer, telling the hosts that he ‘wouldn't want to get into it because to me that's very personal’, and he didn’t want ‘to get into specifics’.Then, when asked if he is ‘an Old Testament guy or a New Testament guy’, he said: “Uh, probably equal. I think it’s just an incredible….the whole Bible is an incredible..."Trump went on to call his 1987 book The Art of the Deal his ‘second favorite book of all time’ after the Bible.Featured Image Credit: Finn Gomez/Getty ImagesTopics: Donald Trump, Politics, US News

Ritchie Wood Refuses to Leave Home in Universal Theme Park’s Path

Updated 18:39 2 Oct 2026 GMT+1Published 17:18 2 Oct 2026 GMT+1He says he feels like he is living on 'borrowed time' and is facing homelessnessA man is fighting to remain on a street which has been marked for demolition to make way for the new Universal theme park.Ritchie Wood has decided to wait until the last minute to move out of his home on Manor Road in Kempston Hardwick in the UK, where 12 homes have been marked for demolition.The demolitions will make way for the new Universal United Kingdom Resort.Of the 12 homes on the road, six have been vacated and five have reportedly been sold to Universal under non-disclosure agreements, it is understood.AdvertRitchie has rented the cottage for 11 years, and was served an eviction notice in 2026, before taking the case to court, where the landlord was able to obtain a possession notice, leaving Ritchie waiting for bailiffs to turn up."I've lived here for 11 years - this is my home and I have a life here," said Ritchie, who lives near to his elderly parents who are around six miles away.Ritchie says he is facing homelessness (SWNS)"My parents are in their 80s and they live five minutes down the road. I want to stay close to them but I could end up anywhere," he explained.He opened up about seeing his neighbours moving away one by on."It's been really hard to watch almost everyone move out of this street," he said. "It's heartbreaking.""I'm at the bottom of the list for housing"Ritchie opened up about feeling as though he is 'not being taken seriously'."If you drive down Manor Road now, you would think it's private land owned by Universal Studios with the amount of traffic," he said. "I get looks from people driving down there, thinking 'who's that?' I feel like an alien, intruding or trespassing."Ritchie is now facing homelessness. He was served a Section 21 'no fault eviction' notice on 28 April only a few days before the Renters' Rights Act 2025 came into effect.The site will be transformed into a Universal theme park (SWNS)"I sought legal advice to Legal Aid and I was told to sit tight until a court possession order," he said."Last week, I went to Bedford Crown Court and the possession order was granted on the 19th of September."I've been advised to wait until a bailiff warrant is approved by the court and then I get two weeks' notice before they change the locks."And all this time, the council are telling me I'm at the bottom of the list for housing. It's not like I'm being paid to move by Universal."Ritchie shared his frustration at how he has been treated, saying: "From a legal point of view, Universal haven't done anything wrong because they'll make sure everything is done to the letter.An artist's rendering of the new Universal theme park (Universal)"But from a moral perspective, their belligerence is unreal. They think we don't matter."Demolition work has now started ahead of the construction on the 476-acre site, which could become home to some of the tallest rides in Europe.The park is set to be completed in 2031, and is touted as having several themed sections, including a hotel with 500 rooms, as well as retail and dining.It has also been praised by the government as it could bring around 20,000 jobs during construction and 8,000 new jobs once the park is open.The planning application claims it will generate £50 billion for the UK economy.Universal writes on their website about the project: "Collaboration and community engagement remain at the core of how we work around the world. We are committed to keeping local residents, businesses and stakeholders updated as works progress and will continue working closely with Bedford Borough Council and other partners throughout the delivery of the project."As part of the planning process, an Outline Construction Management Plan and detailed Environmental Impact Assessment were submitted and carefully assessed as part of the approval process. These documents set out measures for managing construction-related effects and helping to minimise impacts where possible. Detailed construction management plans will follow for each phase of construction activity, where appropriate."LADbible has contacted Universal for comment.Featured Image Credit: SWNSTopics: UK News, Universal Pictures, Theme Park

GoPro Dropped From Cruise Ship Captures Terrifying Nighttime Detail New

GoPro Dropped From Cruise Ship Captures Terrifying Nighttime Detail

Published 15:10 1 Oct 2026 GMT+1Odysseas Froilan dropped a GoPro into the ocean to capture footage of sea lifeThere’s a reason why viewers have been seriously freaked out by a man dropping his GoPro to the bottom of the ocean.Odysseas Froilan posted a creepy video on his YouTube channel in 2021, which starts with him chucking his GoPro off a cruise ship in the Bahamas as it tumbles into the depths of the sea.After settling onto the seabed, the GoPro then moves around to show what life is like for the creatures that inhabit the bottom of the ocean.Things get a lot more interesting when the clip cuts to the night time footage.AdvertNot only does the darkness add a certain eeriness, several sharks swim past the camera. Viewers, without realising it, were likely to be experiencing something known as thalassophobia.(YouTube/Odysseas Froilan)“The way I went from kicking my feet in the air at the cute fishies and thinking ‘maybe the ocean isn’t so scary after all’ in the day footage to blankly staring, terrified, at the night footage, further confirming my intense fear of the ocean,” one person commented.Another wrote: “Man, there's something primally terrifying about seeing a shark emerge from the darkness like that.”What is thalassophobia?(YouTube/Odysseas Froilan)“Individuals [with thalassophobia] will express worries such as what is beneath the water, darkness under the water, dangers in the water, and being lost,” Krystal Lewis, PhD, a psychologist in private practice in Bethesda, Maryland, told WebMD.It can occur from a traumatic experience, such as nearly drowning in the ocean, Albers adds.“This is an example of classical conditioning, where a specific experience teaches the brain to associate water with fear,” she explains.“This kind of learning is called observational learning, and it can shape our emotional responses even without direct experience.”Thalassophobia can also stem from a fear of the unknown or things you can’t control, adds David Kupfer, PhD, a psychologist in private practice in Falls Church, Virginia.For such, ‘the ocean might seem like it was potentially full of scary and unpredictable troubles’, Kupfer says.Explaining the rigmarole that's involved with dropping a GoPro off the side of a cruise ship, Froilan said: "I used a GoPro case to withstand the pressure and some simple stabilisers that I made in order to prevent the rolling of the camera. For the same reason, I was waiting for a day with no wind and current. The GoPro was attached to a fishing line so I was able to feel the bottom of the sea."But I could check the footage only once I was bringing the camera up again. Initially, I started filming to see what was happening down there, but the footage was so cool I had to share."Featured Image Credit: YouTube/Odysseas FroilanTopics: Cruise Ship, Travel, Health
