A Memorial Day at sea turned into a disaster as nearly a dozen people were hospitalized in Florida after their boat appeared to explode and gush into flames in Fort Lauderdale.The U.S. Coast Guard reported that an investigation is underway to determine what caused the boat to explode and injure the 13 passengers on board near the Lauderdale Yacht Club."Reportedly, a vessel exploded around 5:45 pm w/ 13 ppl aboard, Mon. near the New River Triangle, Ft. Lauderdale," the agency wrote in an alert on X. "Multiple injuries reported."US COAST GUARD, NEW YORK FIRST RESPONDERS SEARCHING FOR MISSING PERSON AFTER BOAT CAPSIZED WITH SIX PASSENGERSCoast Guard officials added that multiple agencies had been deployed to assist in the rescue.Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that there were 11 individuals, including two children who were taken to the hospital, but said they were working to gather more information on what caused the explosion."The boat was anchored to a sandbar and when someone went to start it, for reasons unknown, it exploded when they tried to start it," a Fire Department spokesman said."It was a pretty chaotic scene," he added.A dog was also on the boat, but was not injured, the fire official added.Officials said 10 of the 11 victims were transported to a Miami hospital burn unit that specializes in burn treatments.A person who was inside the yacht club at the time of the explosion told WSVN that he heard "a loud sound, but didnt see any smoke."Clean-up efforts are now underway as the Coast Guard said "salvage is being arranged."

Marcus Ericsson's Andretti Global car did not pass post-race technical inspection.Ericsson, who finished behind Indianapolis 500 winner Alex Palou on Sunday, was subsequently pushed to the rear of the 33-car field. Ericsson was stripped of his runner-up finish and was moved to 31st place.Fellow Andretti Global teammate Kyle Kirkwood's car also failed inspection. As a result, Kirkwood was relegated to the 32nd spot. He initially finished the race in sixth place.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"We are in receipt of the Indianapolis 500 Post-Race Notice as provided by IndyCar," Andretti Global said in a statement. "We are taking the necessary time to assess the information and we will be requesting a full review with IndyCar."MARCUS ERICSSON AMONG THE HEARTBROKEN AFTER INDY 500: 'MORE THAN JUST A RACE'IndyCar said the modifications made by Andretti Global were to the Energy Management System covers provided by Dallara, the company that provides the chassis for the series. The rulebook states that those parts must be used as supplied.Being moved to the rear of the field also resulted in the loss of Ericsson's and Kirkwood's prize money and the championship points from their original finishes. Both drivers will instead receive the money and points associated with their penalized finish.Each car was also fined $100,000, and the competition managers for the teams have been suspended for the upcoming race on the streets of Detroit.It was an incredibly costly swing for Andretti as the Indy 500 purse this year was a record $20,283,000, with winner Palou set to receive $3.8 million. Ericsson will receive $610,500 for finishing 31st when he could have earned up to $1 million in second.Kirkwood is set to earn $607,500 after being credited for the 32nd finish."We had a great race, we came across the line in sixth," Kirkwood said. "Well go through the (review) process, and this team is built on sportsmanship. They are built on integrity, and well try to do everything right in the future."The disqualifications changed the podium finishing order, with David Malukas of A.J. Foyt Racing moving up to second and Pato OWard of Arrow McLaren moving up to third. For the Foyt team, combined with Santino Ferruccis adjusted fifth-place finish, it marked the best Indy 500 finish in 25 years for the team.The No. 90 car of Callum Ilott also failed post-race technical inspection after it failed to meet the minimum endplate height and location specification. Prema Racing was handed the same penalties as Andretti Global, which means rather than 12th, Ilott will be credited with finishing last in "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing."The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A German university,Gttingen University, has literally "struck gold" in recent findings from volcanic rocks.A new study of these volcanic rocks from Hawaii, that leaked out from deep under the lithosphere, contained various precious metals.Dr. Nils Messling of the Gttingen Universitys Department of Geochemistry said in a news release they were surprised when the test results came in."When the first results came in, we realized that we had literally struck gold! Our data confirmed that material from the core, including gold and other precious metals, is leaking into the Earth's mantle above," Messling said.LARGEST GOLD DEPOSIT IN THE WORLD WORTH $83 BILLION FOUND IN CHINAApproximately 99% of the Earths gold is buried deep in the Earths Metallic Core, far out of humankinds reach.The gold is currently buried about 1,800 miles deep in the core.The discovery of this ruthenium, which was formed and locked down with gold, might be a telling sign that these volcanic rocks are coming from deep within the Earth.HAWAII'S KILAUEA VOLCANO ERUPTS WITH 1,000-FOOT LAVA FOUNTAINING"Our findings not only show that the Earths core is not as isolated as previously assumed. We can now also prove that huge volumes of super-heated mantle material several hundreds of quadrillion metric tonnes of rock originate at the core-mantle boundary and rise to the Earths surface to form ocean islands like Hawaii," said Professor Matthias Willbold in a news release.There is a way to test for isotopes of ruthenium, especially when differences are small variations of the same element.The isotopes of ruthenium in the Earth's core are slightly different from those on the surface, with the difference being too small to really detect.However,new procedures developed by researchers at the University of Gttingen have made it possible."Whether these processes that we observe today have also been operating in the past remains to be proven. Our findings open up an entirely new perspective on the evolution of the inner dynamics of our home planet," Messling said in a statement.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPWith these precious metals beginning to leak to the Earths surface, it could suggest that the supplies of gold and others important for renewable energy came from the Earths core.

A Republican lawmaker from Tennessee is calling for a federal investigation into Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connells handling of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, adding he will not back down.Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said in a post on X that with support from the House Judiciary Committee, he is formally requesting all documents and communications from OConnells office pertaining to his alleged protection of illegal immigrants.Specifically, Ogles is requesting documents related to "the amendment of Executive Order 30," which he referred to as "an outrageous directive requiring Nashville employees and first responders to report all communication with federal immigration authorities directly to the mayor."Ogles also said he is requesting any internal discussions or documents concerning ICE enforcement actions in Nashville or Davidson County and all correspondence involving Metro employees and affiliated nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) pertaining to the arrests or detention of criminal illegal aliens within the city or county.HOUSE GOP TARGETS ANOTHER DEM OFFICIAL ACCUSED OF BLOCKING ICE AMID DELANEY HALL FALLOUTAlong with his post, Ogles shared a video of his announcement."Weve heard it: the individuals that the mayor is standing with are murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, sexual predators, child traffickersthe list goes on," he said. "Which is why I will always stand on the rule of law and with ICE. And I dont just stand with ICE; Ill stand in front of ICE because we the people have had enough."I choose my community, my state and my family over this type of nonsense, which is why, due to the remarks of Freddie O'Connell and the potential for aiding and abetting illegal immigration, the Homeland Security and the Judiciary Committees will be conducting an investigation into the mayor of Nashville, his conduct and whether or not federal dollars have been used in criminal enterprise," Ogles continued. "I will not back down. I will not relent, and I will always stand with law enforcement. I want my community, and I want my country back."DHS FIRES BACK AT BLUE-CITY MAYOR UNHAPPY ABOUT ICE OPERATION, PROVIDES RAP SHEETS FOR THOSE CHARGEDOgles announcement comes 10 days after he sent a letter urging for an investigation into OConnell, whom the Trump administration has accused of supporting "pro-illegal policies."OConnells office did not respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment on the matter.Earlier this month, ICE agents working with the Tennessee Highway Patrol arrested nearly 200 people who the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said were illegal immigrants many of them criminals with gang affiliations or other sordid pasts.ICE CRACKS DOWN ON DC-AREA BUSINESSES, NEARLY 200 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARRESTEDA DHS news release targeted O'Connell by name over comments he made in early May. "What's clear today is that people who do not share our values of safety and community have the authority to cause deep community harm."After the arrests, O'Connell signed an executive order aimed at tracking peoples' interactions with federal immigration authorities, according to WSMV4.OConnell also wrote a letter to the city about the ICE arrests."Our top priority is keeping people safe, and were deeply concerned that what appear to be federal actions are making that harder," OConnell wrote. "Overnight, we understand that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents detained people during enforcement actions in Middle Tennessee. As we learn more, I want to be clear: No [Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD)] personnel were involved in last nights enforcement action."BLUE CITY MAYOR SAYS ICE ARRESTS OF DANGEROUS CRIMINALS ARE NOT FOCUSED ON MAKING US SAFERHe added that the citys police department does not have federal immigration authority, nor are its members trained to conduct immigration enforcement.OConnell also said the police department lacks access to federal immigration databases."This type of federal enforcement action is not focused on making us safer and leaves people in our community fearing any interaction with law enforcement when there is a crime occurring," he added. "We will be seeking the names of those detained."DHS said the Nashville operation resulted in the arrests of a convicted child sex predator, an alleged member of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, an individual convicted of aggravated assault and multiple illegal aliens on drug charges."The Nashville Mayor should want these criminal illegal aliens off American streets," DHS posted on X. "Attacks and demonization of our brave law enforcement is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults. President Trump campaigned on immigration enforcement, the American people voted for it, and DHS is delivering."Fox News Digitals Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.

Recent studies have found that some beers brewed in the US have high levels of "forever chemicals" and are considered above the allowed EPA limit.A team from theACSEnvironmental Science & Technology conducted a study to find out howpolyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or "forever chemicals" get into beers and how much they contain."As an occasional beer drinker myself, I wondered whether PFAS in water supplies was making its way into our pints.I hope these findings inspire water treatment strategies and policies that help reduce the likelihood of PFAS in future pours," research lead Jennifer Hoponick Redmon said.ALCOHOL DEATHS HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED IN RECENT YEARS, ESPECIALLY AMONG WOMENWhile breweries have water filtration and treatment systems, these are not designed to prevent PFAS from entering into the batch.By modifying an EPA testing tool for analyzing levels of PFAS in drinking water, Redmon and her team tested 23 beers.NOT ONLY DOES BEER TASTE GREAT, THERE ARE HEALTH BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH IT, TOO: EXPERTThe team tested beers from areas with known documented water system contamination along with some other popular beers with unknown water sources.Through their research, it was found that beer brewed in North Carolina, California, and Michigan had elevated levels of this PFAS.The researchers found a strong correlation between PFAS concentrations in municipal drinking water and levels in locally brewed beer.In 95% of the beer tested, PFAS was found withperfluorooctanesulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid, two forever chemicals with recently established EPA limits in drinking water.International beers tested one from Holland and two from Mexico were less likely to have detectable PFAS.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Our findings indicate a strong link between PFAS in drinking water and beer, with beers brewed in areas with higher PFAS in local drinking water translating to higher levels of PFAS in beer, showing that drinking water is a primary route of PFAS contamination in beer," the research team concluded.
