The wife of Stockton Rush, the pilot of the missing Titanic tour submarine, is allegedly the great-great-granddaughter of two first-class passengers who died on the Titanic, according to records.

Wendy Rush's great-great-grandparents, Isidor and Ida Straus, were the elderly couple depicted in the movie. Isidor and Ida Straus were notable figures who co-founded Macy's. A fictionalized version of the couple is even featured in the movie.

The situation remains very fragile with ongoing wildfires. Note these incredibly important rules to abide by. Educate yourself on what is allowed - especially what is NOT allowed under the Burn Ban. Everyone’s actions matter right now and they matter a lot!

I can't express how angry I was when officials informed me six illegal burns were reported last night.

Stop lighting fires. Stop flicking cigarette butts out the window. Let's all smarten up and protect our resources.

The roofers who were next door to my place saved lives. Gonna track them down when this is all done. They ran into my house.

There are 2 ways out, both roads in close proximity. What if we are trapped?

"We'll herd them into the lake."

Towards the end of the conversation the RCMP officer's voice cracked. "No injuries and no deaths. 14,000 people evacuated. All alive." #nsfire

Dog trainer Lisa Parsons ran from Larry Uteck to Pampered Paws Inn to rescue 18 dogs amid a wildfire evacuation order after being told, "If they're humans, we have buses. If they're dogs, it is what it is." #NSFire #TantallonFire
