![Illegal Levels Of Whale-Killing Pile-Driving Noise By Wind Industry Documented New documentary, "Thrown To The Wind, Part 2," provides more hard evidence that the wind industry is harming whales The wind industry is not killing endangered whales off the East Coast, say government agencies and the news media. But it is. Before 2016, when the wind industry’s increased boat traffic, sonar mapping, and construction began, eight humpback whales were found dead per year between Virginia and Maine. Since 2016, an average of 25 humpbacks were found dead annually. And last year, there were a record 83 whales found dead. And yet the Associated Press insisted last month that “there’s no evidence that limited wind farm construction on the Atlantic Coast has directly resulted in any whale deaths.” [Emphasis added.] That’s true. But there’s also no evidence that smoking directly causes cancer. Nor is there evidence that more carbon dioxide directly warms the planet. AP is playing the exact same, deliberately misleading, game that it accuses the tobacco and fossil fuels industries of playing. This is disturbing because the US government and media are blaming the spike in whale deaths on climate change, which is far less direct than the wind industry’s huge increase in boat traffic in previously untrafficked sea lanes, its high-decibel sonar, and its high-decibel pile driving. Last year, the most thorough investigation to date of whale deaths found a strong correlation with wind industry activity. Lisa Linowes of Save the Right Whales Coalition did the study. Linowes tracked whale deaths within the same timeframe and location as offshore wind sonar surveys. “As the amount of offshore wind activity increased within an area,” she notes, “so did whale deaths.” In last year’s “Thrown To The Wind” documentary, Rand documented illegally high levels of whale-harming sonar noise by the wind industry. And now, in a sequel, “Thrown To the Wind, Part 2,” filmmaker Jonah Markowitz documents Rand measuring illegal levels of noise from pile-driving by the wind industry off of Martha’s Vineyard. The boat crew can hear the noise through the air. “That’s loud to hear from here,” says one of the men. “And I got my ear muffs on and everything.” It’s so loud that Rand has to adjust his equipment. “I am overloading,” he says. “I need to change my gain.” Says one sailor, “Sounds like a noise from a horror movie.” “Sounds like thunder coming in,” says another. “It's insane.” The sound is equivalent to the blast from a 155-millimeter Howitzer. The environmental groups and Democratic governors championing the illegal pile-driving off the East Coast are the same groups that fought oil drilling there just a few years ago, claiming it would be too noisy. It is illegal to harm or kill endangered species. The North Atlantic right whale is critically endangered, with fewer than 400 individuals in the species left. The push by the US government, the wind industry, and the news media to build industrial wind projects proven to kill whales is the biggest environmental scandal in the world. A handful of honest conservationists are fighting billions in wind industry/taxpayer money. That money has financially corrupted the politicians, the regulatory agencies, and the news media through political donations and advertisements. The money has even corrupted the people who do the autopsies of the whales. We won a big victory last year, in helping to halt a wind project off the coast of New Jersey. Unfortunately, the US government and wind industry are moving forward with plans to build wind projects along the rest of the East Coast. If they go forward, they will make the North Atlantic right whale extinct.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1744432358202425619/ext_tw_video_thumb/1744431315741790209/pu/img/vyD2_mdRr_Trl45i.jpg)
![[ENG Trans] — GMMTV 2026 Presented “HIGH & LOW BORN TO be HIGH” 💣 #sea_tawinan #HighandLowSeries #GMMTV2026 🎤 Host: This series is considered one of the major projects of 2026, as it’s a collaboration between Team HI-AX and GMMTV with Parbdee Production, adapting a hit Japanese series into a Thai version. 🎤 Host: Just from the trailer we watched earlier, the crowd was screaming nonstop. How do you all feel? — Sky: Well, for this project, each actor has already spent around two full filming queues. Hahaha! It’s a very exciting project adapted from the Japanese high-end series “HIGH & LOW BORN”, reimagined into the Thai version “HIGH & LOW BORN TO be HIGH”. It’s the story of four gangster groups fighting for dominance. 🎤 Host: Since you mentioned the story is divided into 4 gangs, let’s recap who belongs to which gang. 1️⃣: Starting with the first gang, called Wat Yai Gang (“Great Temple Gang”): Josh, Aou, Barcode. — Josh: We confirm that everyone in our gang is big, in size and in heart. To join this gang, you must be brave and strong-willed, ready to face anything. Our characters are a group of orphans with nowhere to go, so we all ended up living at the temple together. 2️⃣: Next is the Sawang Phaisarn Gang with members: Ohm, Pond, Nanon. — Nanon: Our gang is made up of volunteer rescue workers. That means when the gangs fight, we’re usually the ones who come in to clean up the mess or give first aid. That’s the role of our rescue gang. 3️⃣: The next gang is the Ai Nam Gang (“Gas Gang”): KhaoTung, Perth, Sky, Sea, Mark. — Sky: Actually, our gang’s official name is Rat Bamrung, also known as Ai Nam. We’re kids who come from more rich backgrounds. And as the trailer just showed, we’re all bikers. 4️⃣: And the final gang is the Waan Talay Gang (“Ocean Whale Gang”): Nani, Winny. — Nani: It’s only the two of us. No matter what fights break out, I personally avoid fighting the Wat Yai Gang, there are only two of us, and just look at their size! We’re way outnumbered. — Winny: We might have new members later, but they’re not introduced yet… 🎤 Host: This series is truly a major project with many talented actors participating. Judging from the trailer, it’s clear the show will be intense and very entertaining. 🎤 Host: Please say something to invite everyone to watch the series. — Nanon: Please support our series! We guarantee it will be exciting and fun. As Khun Sataporn said earlier, it’s one of the most anticipated projects, both thrilling and enjoyable to make. We think filming it is going to be a lot of fun, so please look forward to it and support us!](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1993354770791514162/amplify_video_thumb/1993353478278987776/img/2Y1pCNcutA7xv5H4.jpg)
