Milan Travis Scott Concert Triggers False Earthquake Alarms

Jul 25 2024

Milan was rocked to its foundation Tuesday night, and it wasn’t due to an earthquake. Travis Scott nearly brought the house down with his Circus Maximus Tour performance at Ippodromo Snai La Maura. The 33-year-old rap superstar transformed the tranquil Milanese night into a high-energy spectacle, attracting a massive crowd of 80,000 fans eager to experience his latest album, “Utopia.”

The concert’s intensity was so overwhelming that local residents reported feeling seismic activity. Many took to Twitter to express their amazement at the ground shaking beneath them. Billboard verified that the vibrations from the event could be felt miles away, underscoring the sheer impact of Scott’s performance.

Travis Scott captured and shared the breathtaking moments on Instagram, highlighting the wild mosh pits and the enormous crowd. His enthusiasm was evident in his caption: “Last night was a dream. This isn’t a festival. This is a show on the tour.” He also gave a shoutout to Stromberg and expressed his affection for Milan.

This wasn’t the first time Travis Scott’s concerts have created such a buzz. Last August, his fans rocked Rome’s Circus Maximus so hard that it registered as a 1.3-magnitude earthquake. However, not everyone is pleased with these high-energy events at historic sites. Alfonsina Russo from the Colosseum Archaeological Park expressed concerns to AGI news, emphasizing that such locations aren’t designed to withstand the strain of massive concerts.

Travis Scott’s European tour is far from over. Upcoming stops include Germany, Spain, and Portugal before he takes his electrifying performances to Latin America, with shows in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. The grand finale will be a massive event at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca on September 21. American fans can also look forward to a one-night-only performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on October 9, before Scott concludes his tour in Australia and New Zealand.

From historic sites to modern stadiums, Travis Scott is leaving a seismic mark on the music world—one concert at a time.

Sharks Off Coast Of Brazil Test Positive For Cocaine

Jul 25 2024

Scientists have discovered that sharks off the coast of Brazil have tested positive for cocaine.

Marine biologists examined 13 Brazilian sharpnose sharks near Rio de Janeiro and detected high levels of cocaine in their muscles and livers, with concentrations up to 100 times higher than previously reported in other aquatic creatures.

This research, conducted by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, marks the first discovery of cocaine presence in sharks.

Experts suggest the cocaine might enter the waters from illegal drug labs or through the excrement of drug users, with the less likely possibility of traffickers’ discarded packs.

Sara Novais, a marine eco-toxicologist at the Polytechnic University of Leiria’s Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre, described the findings as “very important and potentially worrying.”

All the female sharks in the study were pregnant, but the impact of cocaine on their foetuses remains unknown. Further research is needed to determine if cocaine affects shark behavior, though previous studies indicate that drugs can have similar effects on animals as on humans.

Last year, chemical compounds related to cocaine use were found in seawater samples off England’s south coast, highlighting the broader issue of drug pollution in marine environments.
