This story originally said that the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge remains "the longest suspension bridge in the country." We have updated the text to make clear that is a reference to the length of the bridge's main span, which stretches 4,260 feet. The bridge's total length is 13,700 feet. Michigan's Mackinac Bridge has a total length of 26,372 feet. But its main span, at 3,800 feet, is shorter than that of the Verrazano-Narrows. It should also be noted that New York authorities chose at the time of the bridge's construction to spell Verrazano with one "z." That differs from a common form of Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano's name.

Record Future and Reversing Labs are among the companies In-Q-Tel has invested in. You can read Schumacher-Matos' critique here: "Attacking NPR As A Shill For Government Intelligence."
Human rights advocates in Nicaragua, including Nicaragua's Permanent Commission on Human Rights (Cenidh), had accused masked police officers of breaking down doors in the northern city of Matagalpa, arresting suspects without warrants and not providing due process to 12 people during the investigation into the bus attack.

This post originally stated that the bodies of hundreds of children had been found in a septic tank at a former home for unwed mothers in Tuam, Ireland, drawing from news reports that were based on research conducted by a local historian.

It's not clear how many — if any — bodies may be buried in the disused tank. This post has been updated to reflect developments.
