Three persons have been confirmed dead and property worth N50 million
destroyed by windstorm, which ravaged parts of Duguri District of Alkaleri Local Government Area in Bauchi State.
Only four years after the disastrous 1492: Conquest of Paradise (a film that would have
destroyed a lesser director's career), Ridley Scott was back in nautical territory with White Squall, a semi-successful, fact - based survival / courtroom drama that featured a sizable collection of up - and - coming actors, including Scott Wolf, Ryan Phillippe, Jeremy Sisto, Eric Michael Cole, Balthazar Getty, and Ethan Embry (among others), and a creditable turn
by Jeff Bridges as the ill - fated leader of a sailing trip threatened
by the «white squall» (a sudden, violent
windstorm) of the title.
