Airplane Loses Part in Mid-Flight, Makes Emergency U-Turn (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Netherlands-bound Delta Air Lines airplane returned to Utah after losing an engine pylon panel during takeoff Sunday, according to reports.

The Airbus A330neo carrying 260 passengers and 13 crew members departed Salt Lake City for Amsterdam and had reached the Montana-North Dakota boundary before safely returning to Salt Lake City as one of the engine pylon panels had fallen off on takeoff, the Associated Press (AP) reported. It was not immediately clear how the pilots learned of the missing part, but Delta acknowledged there was “a reported mechanical issue” with the two-aisle Airbus jet, according to the report.

Delta reportedly apologized to the passengers for the delay caused by the incident.

The airplane had gained a cruising altitude of 35,000 ft (10,668 m) and had been in the air for just over an hour when it aborted its flight to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, according to Simple Flying. The flight crew reportedly did not alert the passengers of the incident as the airplane turned around and made its way back to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).

The widebody jet reportedly has not flown since returning to SLC nearly three hours after takeoff. A similar Delta Air Lines Airbus jet replaced the affected jet and completed the flight to Amsterdam, according to Simple Flying. The substitute airplane was also scheduled to fly passengers from Schiphol Airport to New York John F. Kennedy International Airport, again replacing the affected airplane.

House Intelligence: ISIS-K Terror Threat Growing After Moscow Attack (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) said over the weekend that the threat of terrorist attacks from ISIS-K is growing after the Islamic terrorist group carried out a large attack late last week in Russia.

The remarks from McCaul, which he made on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” come as Russian officials continued to search for bodies in a concert hall outside Moscow where four heavily armed gunmen opened fire before setting the building on fire.

“This attack in Moscow was carried out by ISIS-K, a group that typically emanates out of Afghanistan,” said host Margaret Brennan. “We know the U.S. had advanced warning. From what you know, is there an ongoing threat in Eurasia, and are U.S. interests a target?”

‘My Head Started Hurting’: 12-Year-Old Mistakenly Served Alcohol at Outback Steakhouse

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 12-year-old boy in Livonia, Michigan, accidentally consumed an alcoholic drink at an Outback Steakhouse and went to the hospital as a result.

The boy, identified as Mekyle Cureton, visits the restaurant often and always orders a virgin strawberry daiquiri, Fox 2 reported Tuesday.

However, on his most recent visit, the drink did not taste as it had in the past because it had rum in it.

“My head started hurting when I was leaving and my heart started beating as I was drinking it,” Cureton explained.

The Queen Bee Mixology website lists the ingredients of its strawberry daiquiri recipe as white rum, lime juice, simple syrup, strawberry puree, and frozen strawberries. (Read more from “‘My Head Started Hurting’: 12-Year-Old Mistakenly Served Alcohol at Outback Steakhouse” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Venezuelan social media influencer has gone viral with a video promoting “squatting” — trespassing on someone’s property in order to seize it — and instructing fellow immigrants on how to “invade” American homes.

Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant who uses the handle @leitooficial_25 on TikTok, has enraged social media users with a video telling followers that “if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.”

In a video with nearly 800,000 views, Moreno says in Spanish: “I found out that there is a law that says if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.”

Referring to highly controversial “squatter’s rights” laws that exist in varying forms around the U.S., the influencer said the rules allow for a “land invasion.”

“That will be my next business, invading abandoned houses,” he said.

‘They’ve Come for Me, They Can Come for You’: Peter Navarro Blasts Biden’s DOJ for ‘Chilling Effect’ on Americans

/1 Comment/in , /by

Holding a press conference in Miami before reporting to prison, former Trump advisor Peter Navarro said the justice system in the US will “have done a crippling blow to the constitutional separation of powers and executive privilege.”

Navarro also criticized the “emergence of lawfare and the partisan weaponization of our justice system, which we have seen done to this country with a vengeance since the coming of Donald John Trump as president.”

“I am the first senior White House advisor in the history of our republic that has ever been charged with this alleged crime,” Navarro said. Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress for not complying with the subpoena due to executive privilege.

“When I received that congressional subpoena…I had an honest belief that the privilege had been invoked,” he told US District Judge Amit Mehta in the January sentencing hearing.

“I say alleged because for hundreds of years this has not been a crime. And for 50 years, the Department of Justice has maintained the principle of absolute testimony immunity, and it was only with my case that somehow that has changed.”

Boeing’s Woes Continue: Another Blowout Incident Raises Concerns (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , /by

Boeing, once a stalwart in the aviation industry, finds itself ensnared in a seemingly never-ending cycle of public relations nightmares. Just when it seemed the company might be emerging from the shadows of past controversies, another incident has thrust it back into the spotlight, prompting questions about its safety protocols and manufacturing practices.

The latest debacle involves a United Airlines flight, which departed from San Francisco International Airport only to encounter a harrowing mid-air event. A panel on the Boeing 737-800 aircraft unexpectedly blew off during the flight, forcing the crew to make an emergency landing in Oregon. While the plane landed safely, the incident has reignited concerns about the safety and reliability of Boeing’s aircraft.

This incident comes on the heels of a previous blowout involving the 737 Max 9, which occurred during a routine flight from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, California, in January. Following the discovery of loose screws in multiple fuselages during safety inspections, the aircraft was grounded, prompting an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) into Boeing’s manufacturing practices.

Despite the resumption of flights for the 737 Max 9, the specter of safety concerns continues to haunt Boeing. The recurrence of blowout incidents raises alarming questions about the company’s ability to address underlying issues and ensure the safety of passengers and crew members.

United Airlines, in response to the recent incident, has pledged to conduct a thorough examination of the affected aircraft and implement necessary repairs before returning it to service. Additionally, an investigation will be launched to determine the cause of the damage and prevent similar occurrences in the future.

For Boeing, the road ahead appears fraught with challenges as it grapples with the fallout from yet another safety-related incident. The company’s reputation, already tarnished by previous controversies, now faces further scrutiny, casting doubt on its ability to regain the trust of consumers and regulators alike.

As Boeing navigates through this latest crisis, stakeholders will be closely monitoring its response and efforts to address systemic issues within its operations. The aviation giant must demonstrate a firm commitment to safety and transparency if it hopes to emerge from this ordeal with its reputation intact.
