Q: CNN's redesigned website causes Safari to freeze

Hey everyone! Today CNN updated the style of their website. It includes a news ticker feed along the bottom of the page. Since the update I have been unable to use the website on Safari. All elements of the website load except the ticker then the website locks up, and I get the beach ball until I either quit Safari or open a new window.

 

The website loads fine on Chrome, and I haven't noticed it on any other websites yet. All software is up to the latest version to my knowledge and I've disabled all third-party extensions. I'm pretty sure that Safari is getting hung loading the ticker element of the page, but I'm not sure what is causing it. I have a support ticket in with CNN, but I'm not expecting much. Perhaps a problem with a plug in? If anyone has had similar problems or has an idea of what to look into. Thanks!
