Here are the top three stories today in Charleston: A 2020 crash survivor, Deputy Mike Costanzo, completed the CCSO's Code 3-Miler race on Saturday. The event honored and remembered deputies who lost their lives in the line of duty. Costanzo was almost one of those deputies after he was struck by a driver on the Don Hold Bridge while assisting a disabled vehicle in 2020. (WCBD News 2)The South Carolina Aquarium welcomed its 10 millionth visitor on Sunday. The D'Angelo family did not know that they would be the aquarium's 10th million visitors when they traveled from Jacksonville, Florida. The aquarium opened its doors in May of 2000. (Holy City Sinner)The Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum has decided to take apart a Cold War-era submarine after years of debate. The museum board voted unanimously to dismantle the USS Clamagore on Friday with the intent to preserve parts for an exhibit. It will cost $2 million to dismantle the vessel which is still cheaper than maintaining it. (WLTX.com) From our sponsor: Today's newsletter is brought to you by Ring, a Patch Brand Partner.
