Amazon Web Services recovered Monday morning from a widespread outage that disrupted services for major retailers, airlines, social media apps, financial platforms, and more. AWS infrastructure supports millions of websites and platforms.Air France 447 in 2009, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and the recent Germanwings A320 incidents have drawn attention due to their significant impact on the airline industry, often attributing blame to pilot suicide, storms, or poor judgment. Similarly, crashes involving electric trains like the Disney Monorail, DC Metro in 2009, and Amtrak 188 are investigated with discussions of safety devices, track maintenance, or mechanical failure taking center stage.
The public only begins to suspect something larger at play when widespread issues arise. Disruptions in cell phone service are often blamed on blocked tower access or bad weather, while the Blackberry outage in 2008 was attributed to a software glitch. However, engineers maintaining equipment and the grid are not easily deceived. During the Washington DC blackout, an electrical issue initially described as a "surge" hinted at something unusual.
A key distinction exists between a failed electrical system, a simple outage, and an electromagnetic pulse. A pulse causes a surge—a sudden increase in magnetons and electrons—that disrupts equipment reliant on steady particle flow, leading to a runaway state. Surge protection can guard against lightning strikes, shutting down equipment to prevent damage. Yet, absent a lightning strike, such surges may point to the charged tail of Planet X, also known as Nibiru.
What lies ahead for the public? As cell phone service and satellite cable TV continue to degrade, and as planes experience increasing electronics failures or cockpit smoke incidents, the challenges posed by such phenomena may become harder to ignore.

The explosion happened at 7:16 p.m. at the substation located on West Lakeside Drive in the Whalebone Junction section of Nags Head.
A Dominion Power spokesperson said they experienced “an equipment failure”, but did not have details yet on what happened.
Dominion was originally reporting just over 8,000 customers without power, but had that number down to about 5,500 by 9:30 p.m.. Tideland EMC reports all customers on the Manns Harbor circuit, including East Lake and Stumpy Point, are in the dark.
Firefighters were still working the scene at 8:25 p.m. The Dominion spokesperson said crews were on their way to assess the damage and perform repairs, but there was no estimated time for restoration

The Red Cross wants to be sure you're prepared for Space Weather, and could be commended. However they are embracing A MAIN ESTABLISHMENT LIE: BLAMING THE SUN.

Space weather isn’t a term you hear every day. In fact, you may not even know how to prepare for this kind of “weather.” That’s where the American Red Cross comes in to help.
TRANSCRIPT:
the American Red Cross is finding a way to help keep your kids entertained and learning. This summer, meteorologist Sabrina Bates reports that they're posting educational content online just for your family. The American Red Cross wants to bring everyone into the discussion of preparedness. I spoke with a Red Cross volunteer today to get some insight on this local stem series that will leave a larger impact, starting with the discussion about something you may not have heard of before. We have preparedness pods, educational pods for hurricanes and earthquakes and fires and tornadoes. But we really haven't addressed space weather. And we're hoping toe introduce area students and families not only to the vulnerabilities but the way that they can prepare for a solar storm. Space weather refers to the space environment between the sun and earth that can affect our technology. Solar storms could even impact us here in Oklahoma. If we were in a have a severe solar storm. It doesn't just potentially impact a county or a coastline. It could impact the entire northern portion of the United States. The Red Cross wants to be sure you're prepared for this. If it were to happen But with this new home school environment, they're also hoping that you sit down with your kids to teach them something new. Starting today, the American Red Cross of Oklahoma is sharing links, homework assignments and suggested subjects on their social media pages. Here you can follow links to NASA and FEMA. You'll be guided through science and safety topics to learn more on how to prepare your family, but also get a cool science lesson in for the kids. My hope is that even after this awareness campaign ends this week, that that people will continue to study space, whether hopefully we will inspire some future scientific minds and leaders in the community. If you do participate in these lessons, they're hoping you take three things away. Better preparedness knowledge and a desire to get involved with community service in the first alert.

An explosion caused a three-alarm fire at a San Diego naval base, which was concentrated aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard and has resulted in dozens being injured.
Several hours after the fire started, reporter Tim Arvier said that San Diego Fire Department Chief Colin Stowell said the ship would likely “burn down to the water.” According to reporter John Dissauer, the chief said, “This fire could go on for days.”
According to the SDFD, the first alarm was called at 9 a.m. on July 12, a second alarm was called at 9:09 a.m. and the third alarm was called at 9:51 a.m. PDT. As of 9:30 a.m. PDT July 13, the fire has been burning for at least 24 hours.
The U.S. Naval Surface Forces initially announced on Twitter that 11 sailors had experienced minor injuries in relation to the incident, but otherwise, all crews were accounted for. An updated report noted that 34 sailors and 23 civilians had been hospitalized in the fire’s wake.
Krishna Jackson, the base’s spokeswoman, told Stars and Stripes that an estimated 200 sailors were aboard the ship when it caught fire and that the ship itself was undergoing routine maintenance when the fires started. The ship, also referred to as an “assault vessel,” acts as a vehicle to deploy and land helicopters, small boats and other water-related vessels.
By about 11:05 a.m. PDT, firemen said they had located the fire, but had not extinguished it yet, instead requesting more water lines, according to fire radio transmissions. Another said they would need to start moving people back due to the fumes.
It is unclear what started the explosion. According to what one firefighter said on radio transmissions, an officer aboard the ship told him that there are no “heavy ordinance” (large firearms such as mortars and machine guns) above the ship, but only small arms (pistols, guns, etc.).
One firefighter seemed to indicate that the explosion came from the hatch. “The fire looks like it’s moving further to the bow and there’s a lot more smoke coming out of the hatch were the explosion started,” that firefighter said around noon over radio transmissions.
NBC San Diego assignment editor Bill Feather reported on Twitter that Rear Admiral Phillip Sobeck said the fire started in the lower cargo hold and that the earlier explosions were caused by a backdraft.
“Our conditions are getting worse here and I’m going to start pulling people out. We’re going to wait until the sprinkler system is active and then put people back in,” one firefighter noted on radio transmissions.
“Conditions on my end are not getting any better and are looking a lot worse, so I’m looking to go defensive,” another firefighter replied.
Firefighters determined it would be best to pull everyone out at roughly 11:24 a.m. PDT and noted that a sprinkler/hose system would likely be ready by in half an hour.
“All units, we are going defensive. Start evacuating the ship,” SDFD announced over a loudspeaker.
The SDFD reported on Twitter that multiple agencies, including Federal Fire, reported to the scene.
“We have an explosion, we have no injuries at this time, right now we are taking all personnel and gear off the pier,” one firefighter reported on radio transmissions at roughly 11:38 a.m. PDT Five more ambulances were requested to the scene as firefighters cleared the pier.
At around noon, a firefighter reported over radio transmissions that there was heavy smoke coming from the ship. “We’ve got heavy smoke and we’re no longer putting water in the hole because of the explosion,” a firefighter said over radio transmissions.
At 12:02 p.m. PDT, firefighters set up a continuous foam operation.
Half an hour later, a dispatcher noted over radio transmissions that, “Engine One reporting multiple sailors running from the ship reporting that the fire was getting in the fuel.”
“We had a mass of sailors run toward us when the smoke turned black and they said it had gotten into the fuel,” the firefighter from Engine One reported before mentioning that a broader area might need to be evacuated.
As night fell on July 12, the “#shipfire” showed no signs of slowing down and people posted on Twitter that more explosions were heard.
Firefighters are still battling the smoke and some residents have posted images on Twitter of helicopters being used to drop water on the vessel.
Audra Stafford of the San Diego’s NBC station tweeted that she spoke to people as far as away as Escondido, San Marcos, Vista and Rancho Penasquitos said they could smell the smoke. The National Weather Service San Diego Station has confirmed that the smoke is far-reaching, explaining to residents via Twitter, “Noticing a fairly acrid smoke smell this morning? It’s likely related to the #shipfire aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard.”
The San Diego Naval Base released a statement via Facebook advising people that they are not accepting donations and warning people to be aware of scams offering to provide financial support for those impacted by the fire.
ATHENS — A Ryanair flight en route from Berlin to Athens made an emergency landing at Thessaloniki airport on Friday with 164 people on board, Greek authorities said.
The flight issued a distress signal and sought permission to make an emergency landing while flying over the Halkidiki region of Greece, the civil protection ministry said.
The ministry said the crew had reported a fire, but a Ryanair spokeswoman said the emergency had been triggered by an "unidentified odour in the cockpit and cabin" and that there had been no fire.
Emergency protocols were deployed and the aircraft landed safely at Thessaloniki's Macedonia airport, where 157 ticketed passengers, an infant and six members of the crew disembarked, the ministry said.

The Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) transits the Atlantic Ocean June 4, 2020. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Ruben Ree
The US Navy is still unsure exactly what caused a critical piece of technology on the first-in-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford to fail earlier this month.
On June 2, during at-sea testing, the Ford experienced a power problem that caused the Electromagneti..., hindering flight operations for five days.
Unlike the steam catapults on the older Nimitz-class carriers, the new EMALS on the Ford uses electricity to create strong magnetic fields that propel a carriage connected to an aircraft down the runway, throwing the plane into the air.
While the EMALS is supposed to be better than the steam catapults, it has not had the smoothest development.

Paris blackout: Huge power outage across French capital sparks chaos - 'Apocalypse?' 6/24/2020
The blackout struck at around 10.30am local time, and primarily affected eastern Paris, such as the 19th and 20th arrondissement, in France. The municipalities of Lilas, Bagnolet and Montreuil also experienced a power outage. A whopping 117,000 customers were cut off from electricity, including at least 210,000 homes.
The power outage impacted public transport, especially the T4 line, which was expected to be delayed until at least noon.
RTE France told BFMTV.com that the power outage was caused by an incident on an electrical substation in the Paris region.
People quickly turned to Twitter to discuss the loss in power, with one person asking whether it was the "apocalypse".
