18,000 bits of Space junk in Earth orbit-
Recently an IRIDIUM communications satellite collided with a long defunct Soviet Satellite, COSMOS 2252.

The debris created, added to the above depiction of the 18,000 bits of Space Junk now orbiting our planet, from low orbit out to geostationary altitude.

This gives new meaning to the term "hazard to navigation"

Apparently we are not satisfied with polluting the Earth; we are now attempting to pollute near space.

AND Nuclear subs collide in Atlantic A Royal Navy nuclear submarine was involved in a collision with a French nuclear sub in the middle of the Atlantic, the MoD has confirmed. ..it might be the anti-sonar devices, which hide the submarines, were to blame. Despite being equipped with sonar, it seems neither vessel spotted the other..
"The Ministry of Defence needs to explain how it is possible for a submarine carrying weapons of mass destruction to collide with another submarine carrying weapons of mass destruction in the middle of the world's second-largest ocean," The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament described the collision as "a nuclear nightmare of the highest order". CND chair Kate Hudson said: "The collision of two submarines, both with nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons onboard, could have released vast amounts of radiation and scattered scores of nuclear warheads across the seabed."
I think you can read and see about both items on TV and in any Daily paper.
