JUST IN - Trump says he will be recommending a bonus of $10,000 for every air traffic controller that didn't take any time off during the "Democrat Shutdown Hoax."
November 6, 2025-Airlines have been ordered to cancel thousands of flights because of the government shutdown and drones near airports. While they provide explanations to passengers, they fail to address the risks posed by Nibiru debris entering the atmosphere and the EMPs caused by tectonic plate shifts.
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.

Since it’s 2021, the incident was thoroughly captured with both photos and video. Passengers shared video of what looks to be a significant right engine failure, with visible damage, flames, and trailing smoke:
Photographer Hayden Smith snapped a series of images of the Boeing 777-200 plane that offer a closer look at the damaged engine from the ground and posted them to Dropbox not long after the plane safely landed.
But even before that, a dash cam managed to get the moment that the engine seemingly blew out.

Plane makes emergency landing at local airport
SARANAC LAKE — As smoke seeped into the cockpit, an early morning Cape Air flight to Boston Wednesday (Mar 3) turned around after 10 minutes and made a safe emergency landing back at the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear.

No one was injured. A heater malfunction caused the smoke in the cockpit, which led to the change of flight plans, according to officials at the Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department. Firefighters responded with 14 members and three trucks at 7:40 a.m. and were back at the station by 9 a.m. No action was necessary.
“It’s not as exciting as it sounds,” said Airport Manager Corey Hurwitch. “Everything went according to plan. The pilot, I guess, smelled some smoke or had some smoke in the cockpit. He notified air traffic control. Air traffic control notified us and the fire departments.”
By the time the plane was on its final approach, firefighters were already at the airport.
“We were already set up and staged,” Hurwitch said. “The plane landed without incident.”
Cape Air Northeast Regional Marketing Director Kelly Collopy said Flight 1026 departed Saranac Lake en route to Boston, and upon climbing to 7,000 feet, the pilot smelled smoke.
“That always initiates sort of this chain of reactions,” Collopy said. “The pilot immediately went through all the emergency protocols, the smoke quickly dissipated. From there, they continued to stay in contact with air traffic control and decided to reroute back to Adirondack Regional Airport.”
Passengers were being reaccommodated, and no additional delays were expected.
Lake Placid’s Greg Borzilleri was one of two passengers on the flight, heading to a vacation in Miami, Florida. His first flight was canceled Tuesday due to high winds, and coupled with the emergency landing on his second try, he plans on staying in the Adirondacks and not heading south for a short break.
“Between yesterday and today, I think somebody’s telling me something,” Borzilleri said Wednesday. “I was just going to go on the beach for a couple of days, but maybe I’ll stick around. We’ll try it again sometime later.”
Borzilleri had high praise for the pilot and said the mood on the plane was calm.
“They go, ‘And don’t be alarmed. There’s going to be a bunch of fire trucks on the runway, but we’re fine.’ They kept saying, ‘We’re not on fire,'” Borzilleri said. “Everybody at Cape Air … the guy at the counter was great, and the pilots were awesome. They were true professionals in every sense of the word.”

Boeing's infamous 737 Max plane has a new issue, and 16 airlines are being told to ground planes
Dozens of Boeing's 737 Max plane, which was involved in two fatal crashes, have another issue.
The company (Apr 9) said Friday that some of the planes are facing "a potential electrical issue." As a result, the plane-maker recommended 16 airlines immediately ground their affected models so that the issue can be resolved.
"We are working closely with the US Federal Aviation Administration on this production issue," Boeing said. "We are also informing our customers of specific tail numbers affected and we will provide direction on appropriate corrective actions."
Boeing did not specify which airlines or how many planes were affected, but Southwest Airlines, United, and American Airlines confirmed separately that they were. Southwest said 30 of its planes were affected. For American, it was 17, and 16 for United, the companies said.
Sources briefed on the matter told Reuters that 90 planes worldwide were affected.
Boeing's 737 has been in production since the late '60s, but the most recent model - the 737 Max - has been notoriously problem-riddled. It was involved in two fatal crashes, with 346 fatalities, and was grounded worldwide for more than a year as Boeing worked with the Federal Aviation Administration and international regulators to sort out the plane's issues.
It was recertified for flight in late 2020, and Boeing recently began delivering new models to waiting customers.."

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - An Allegiant Air plane made an emergency landing at Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport Thursday (May 13) . The online flight record shows Flight 1313 departed Cincinnati for Fort Lauderdale just before 11:30 a.m.
The record shows 25 minutes into the flight, near the Kentucky-Tennessee border, the plane turned around to head back to Cincinnati but quickly diverted to Blue Grass.
According to Allegiant officials, the reason for the diversion was an odor in the forward cabin. They say the odor dissipated during the flight but, out of an abundance of caution, the pilot decided to land at Blue Grass Airport to have the plane inspected.
https://twitter.com/ORussellNews/status/1392910658434441221
Airline officials say an emergency was declared, which is a standard procedure and ensures that a
flight receives priority handling.
“We were all scared, to be honest with you,” said passenger Beverly Shaw. “There were people praying, they were people crying. I mean everybody. I would say, it was a full flight, about 80% of that flight was in fear.”
The plane landed safely in Lexington at 12:35.
Allegiant says 144 passengers and six crew members were on board the plane. We’re told one passenger and two flight attendants said they weren’t feeling well, so paramedics checked them out, but no injuries were reported..."

The FAA has ordered safety checks on all 9,300 Boeing 737 aircraft for a failure that could cause cabin oxygen levels to drop dangerously low 7-16-2021
Airlines have been told to inspect 2 pressure switches on Boeing 737s over concerns they could fail.
Their failure could mean that cabin oxygen levels fall dangerously low, the FAA said.
An unnamed operator reported that the switches failed in tests on three different 737 models.
The US aviation watchdog has instructed airlines to inspect a pair of pressure switches found on all Boeing 737 airplanes over concerns that their failure could cause onboard oxygen levels to fall dangerously low.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Thursday warned of a risk that pilots and other crew members could lose consciousness if the cabin altitude switches failed. It issued a directive ordering that airlines check them for faults.
The directive applies to around 2,500 Boeing 737 planes in the US and a further 9,315 worldwide, Reuters reported. It includes the 737 Max.
"A latent failure of both pressure switches could result in the loss of cabin altitude warning, which could delay flight crew recognition of a lack of cabin pressurization, and result in incapacitation of the flight crew due to hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the body), and consequent loss of control of the airplane," the agency said.

Smoke alarms sound at International Space Station
MOSCOW (AP) — Smoke alarms went off at the Russian segment of the International Space Station in the early hours of Thursday (September 9), and the crew reported noticing smoke and the smell of burnt plastic.
Russia's space agency Roscosmos said the incident took place in the Russian-built Zvezda module and occurred as the station's batteries were being recharged.
The space station is currently operated by NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei, Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur; Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov of Russia’s Roscosmos; Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet.
Novitsky and Dubrov are scheduled to carry out a six-hour-long space walk on Thursday to continue integrating the Russian-built Nauka science lab that docked with the space station in July. Shortly after docking, the lab briefly knocked the orbital outpost out of position by accidentally firing its engines — an incident Russian space officials blamed on a software failure.
Source: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/smoke-alarms-sound-at-internation...
According to Roscosmos, the crew activated air filters and returned to their “night rest" once the air quality was back to normal. The crew will proceed with a space walk Thursday as planned, the agency noted.

National Grid site fire shuts down power cable between France and UK
A fire at a National Grid site has shut down a power cable linking electricity supplies between the UK and France.
Twelve fire crews were sent to the site in Sellindge near Ashford on Wednesday, Kent Fire and Rescue Service said.
National Grid said the site had been evacuated, and there have been no reports of casualties.
National Grid ESO, which balances energy supplies in the UK, said it expects to "continue supplying electricity safely and securely".
An power cable running under the English Channel was "not operating" after the fire, the National Grid said.
The company - which owns energy infrastructure like overhead and underground power cables - said there would be a reduction in the amount of electricity available to the network until 13 October following the fire.
The fire service said four crews remained at the seen "dampening down remaining hot spots" at 14:45 BST.
It said water pressure may drop in the area as crews continue to fight the blaze.

Plumes of smoke can be seen coming from a National Grid site after a large blaze started in the middle of the night.
Firefighters have been tackling the flames at the site in Sellindge, between Hythe and Ashford, since 12.30am.
National Grid UK say the site has been evacuated and that the "safety of our staff, emergency teams and local residents is our highest priority".
At the peak of the blaze, 12 fire engines were in attendance.
Compressed air foam was used to prevent the fire from spreading to other nearby buildings.

'Puddle of Blood' After Escalator Turns Into Slide in Freak Malfunction
Nine people were taken to hospital with injuries after an escalator malfunctioned at a Boston rail station on Sunday, authorities said.
Boston EMS said multiple units responded to an incident at the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority's (MBTA) Back Bay T station shortly after 6 p.m.
"A total of 9 patients were transported to area hospitals with injuries reported to be minor in nature," the agency said in a tweet.
Witness described the gruesome scene after the escalator malfunctioned, and said they saw victims who appeared to have sustained serious injuries.
"This little girl at the bottom, she had most of the side of her face gone, and her ear was almost off her head," Claire Maia told CBS Boston. "And her mother had part of her scalp missing."
Andrea Kiene replied to Boston EMS on Twitter, writing: "Had to be more than minor. We were on that escalator. I saw what happened. The panic and terror was real for those two children who had to see their mother pinned under people."
Eli Smith told NBC Boston that he had been waiting for his train when the incident occurred. He initially thought there had been a shooting because of how many people he saw covered in blood.
"There was a whole bunch of commotion coming from this escalator, so out of pure curiosity I go over and look and there was like four people laying down and like a puddle of blood at the end of the escalator," Smith said.
Smith added that personnel at the station told him the escalator's steps flattened like a slide. "It turned into a slide, and then went backwards, and then that's when people fell," he said.
Other witnesses also said the escalator had suddenly reversed direction, which led to people falling. "The escalator was moving upwards and then just went backwards, and everyone just started falling like dominos," Krystal Tremblay told CBS Boston.
"Escalator at back bay went backwards super fast with lots of people on it," a Twitter user said.
In another tweet, the user added: "It happened as soon as i got up the stairs. heard a lot of people yelling behind me and i saw a pile of bodies down the escalator."
The MBTA hasn't confirmed what caused the escalator from the Amtrak and Commuter Rail platforms to the street-level lobby of the station to malfunction.
"The escalator will remain out of service while the incident is thoroughly investigated," a spokesman for the transit agency told CBS Boston.
The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority has been contacted for additional comment.

Ambulance explodes, killing 91-year-old patient and injuring paramedic
One person died and another was critically injured when an ambulance suddenly caught fire in a possible explosion in Hawaii.
An ambulance from Kaneohe was taking a 91-year-old man in Kailua to Adventist Castle Health hospital on Wednesday night when it suddenly burst into flames.
‘We had an ambulance tonight, for reasons we don’t understand, catch on fire and possibly explode prior to entering the hospital,’ stated Honolulu Emergency Services Director Dr Jim Ireland.
The patient died in the fire.
Photos and videos from the scene show flames and black smoke seeping out of the back of the vehicle.
The injured paramedic has been working for EMS for eight years. He was still in critical condition as of Thursday afternoon, and was transferred to a hospital with a burn unit.
Another EMT working in the ambulance was unharmed.
‘My deepest condolences and prayers to the family and friends of the patient who lost his life in Wednesday night’s fire. Please keep our Paramedic in your thoughts. We are praying he makes a full recovery,’ Ireland stated.
‘A heartfelt mahalo to the staff at Adventist Heath Castle, our entire EMS ‘ohana, the Honolulu Fire Department for their quick response, and all the hands that responded in this tragedy.’
The Honolulu Fire Department is investigating the incident.
It is not the first ambulance accident to happen this year in the US and abroad. In April, an air ambulance crashed in upstate New York, killing two people.
In May, a man in the UK died after a Bugatti driver slammed into an ambulance at a junction on the A6 in Bedfordshire.
And earlier this month, a heart attack patient in the UK died after an ambulance transporting him to the hospital crashed into a wall. The man died due to severe chest and head injuries from the collision, not from his heart attack.

Major Fire In Skyscraper In China’s Changsha City: State Media
Source: Video Screenshot
A major fire broke out in a skyscraper in the central Chinese city of Changsha, state media reported Friday, adding that the number of casualties was “currently unknown”.
“Thick smoke is spewing from the site, and several dozen floors are burning ferociously,” state broadcaster CCTV reported.
“Firefighters have begun work to extinguish the flames and conduct rescues at the scene,” it added.
The blaze consumed a tall building that housed an office of state-owned telecommunications company China Telecom, the report said.
A photograph released by CCTV showed orange flames searing through the building in a built-up area of the city, as black smoke billowed into the sky.
A video posted on social media by a local news outlet appeared to show the outside of the tower had been charred black.
Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, has a population of about 10 million people.

The truth about what is going on with Southwest from a pilot
https://t.me/ZetaTalk_Followers/24528

The truth about what is going on with Southwest from a pilot:
“From a travel group:
My friend’s husband is a pilot with Southwest. He just posted this an hour ago. I’m not including his name or the photos he shared of packed SWA employee rooms at the airports over the past couple of days (in case his post comes back to bite him with the company—even though he’s stating facts.) He also posted a screenshot of a fellow pilot on hold with SWA Scheduling for over 22 hours. Anyway, here’s some insight for those wondering if this massive round of SWA cancellations is really all due to weather and staffing issues:
“I don’t know what to say. Southwest Airlines has imploded. Their antiquated software system has completely fried. Planes are parked. Crews are stranded in the airports with the passengers, volunteering to take the passengers in the parked planes but the software won’t accept it. Phone lines are overwhelmed for both passenger and crews. I personally spent over two hours trying to get ahold of anyone in the company last night after midnight. A Captain and I did manage to get the one flight put together on Christmas night and got people home. Kudos to the ops agent and dispatcher for making it happen. We had to manually input a lot of the data and it took over an hour to coordinate with dispatch going back and forth running numbers.
We spent hours trying to get the company to answer and get us a hotel when we landed as they’re all sold out. We were only put in a call que for hours before hanging up. I found one hotel with 4 rooms and we bought our own rooms at 2:30am. I even paid for a Flight Attendants room. We literally have crews sleeping on the airport floors all over the country with nowhere to go. Crews have been calling to fly anyone, anywhere, but the company says the system needs a reset. They have effectively shut down the operations for the rest of year, running 1/3 of the flights so that they can let the computer find and locate the crews and aircraft. Gate agents are in tears. They’ve been yelled at, cussed at, slapped and spit on. Flight attendants have been taking a beating. The frontline employees have had little support or communication. Terminals are standing room only with people having been there for days. Pilot lounges are packed with pilots ready to fly and nowhere to go.
Embarrassing is an understatement. I’m going on my second of three days off, still stuck on the east coast and still expected to show up in the morning with no schedule. And I’m willing to fly all day if needed. Because that’s nothing compared to the passengers needing meds in bags that are lost and mothers traveling with kids, having been stuck for the same amount of days in the terminal. In 24 years, I’ve never seen anything like this. Heads need to roll! Rumors on media are floating that there is a lack of crews and pilots are staging sick calls. Absolutely not true at all. This is a computer system meltdown. Thousands of crew members are sitting in hotels and airports with nowhere to go. This airline has failed miserably.”

Pakistan begins restoring power after second major grid breakdown in months
https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/pakistan-suffers-major-p...
ISLAMABAD, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Pakistan's government began restoring power to millions of people on Monday after a breakdown in the grid triggered the worst electricity outage in months and highlighted the weak infrastructure of the heavily indebted nation.
An inquiry has been launched into the outage, which began at around 7:00 a.m. local time (0200 GMT) and has so far lasted more than 12 hours during the peak winter season.
As evening drew on and homes were without electricity in the dark, Energy Minister Khurram Dastgir wrote on Twitter that authorities had started restoring power across the country.
The outage, which the minister had said was due to a voltage surge, is the second major grid failure in three months, and adds to the blackouts that Pakistan's nearly 220 million people suffer on an almost-daily basis.

OH Substation Fire, Explosion Lights Up Sky
According to a report from WCPO, a fire that erupted at a Duke Energy electrical substation in Anderson Township, Ohio, caused an explosion that illuminated the night sky for nearly 30 minutes Tuesday.
Duke Energy said the incident occurred at around 7:30 p.m. from damage caused by an animal. Area residents released photos and videos of the flames and smoke at the substation at the intersection of Beechmont Avenue and Markley Road.
On arrival to the substation, Anderson Township firefighters said the area was unsafe and asked the public to steer clear of the area.
More than 2,000 residents were left without power for a short period. Duke Energy’s outage map now shows that all power has been restored to nearby homes and businesses.
Several people within the radius of the explosion noted strange happenings with electrical devices, such as the headlights of electric cars turning on and smart phones freezing up.

India's worst train crash in decades kills at least 288
BAHANAGA, India, June 3 (Reuters) - At least 288 people have died in India's worst rail crash in over two decades, officials said on Saturday, after a passenger train went off the tracks and hit another one in an accident a preliminary report blamed on signal failure.
One train in Friday's accident also hit a freight train parked nearby in the district of Balasore in Odisha state in the east of the country, leaving a tangled mess of smashed rail cars and injuring 803.
The death toll has reached 288, said K. S. Anand, chief public relations officer of the South Eastern Railway.
Dead bodies are still trapped in the mangled coaches and the rescue operation is continuing, a Reuters witness said, while the death toll is expected to rise.
A preliminary report indicates that the accident was the result of signal failure, Anand said.
"The Coromandel Express was supposed to travel on the main line, but a signal was given for the loop line instead, and the train rammed into a goods train already parked over there. Its coaches then fell onto the tracks on either side, also derailing the Howrah Superfast Express," he said.
Surviving passenger Anubha Das said he would never forget the scene. "Families crushed away, limbless bodies and a bloodbath on the tracks," he said.
Video footage showed derailed train coaches and damaged tracks, with rescue teams searching the mangled carriages to pull the survivors out and rush them to hospital.
Dead bodies were lying on the bloodstained floor of a school used as a makeshift morgue, and police helped relatives identify the bodies, covered with white cloths and placed inside chained bags.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the scene, talked to rescue workers and inspected the wreckage. He also met the survivors at hospitals.
"(I) took stock of the situation at the site of the tragedy in Odisha. Words can't capture my deep sorrow. We stand committed to providing all possible assistance to those affected," Modi said.
A witness involved in rescue operations said the screams and cries of the injured and the relatives of those killed were chilling. "It was horrific and heart-wrenching," he said.
Families of the dead will receive 1 million rupees ($12,000), while the seriously injured will get 200,000 rupees, with 50,000 rupees for minor injuries, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said. Some state governments have also announced compensation.
"It's a big, tragic accident," Vaishnaw told reporters after inspecting the accident site. "Our complete focus is on the rescue and relief operation, and we are trying to ensure that those injured get the best possible treatment."
DISMEMBERED BODIES
"I was asleep," an unidentified male survivor told NDTV news. "I was woken up by the noise of the train derailing. Suddenly I saw 10-15 people dead. I managed to come out of the coach, and then I saw a lot of dismembered bodies."
Video footage from Friday showed rescuers climbing on one of the mangled trains to find survivors, while passengers called for help and sobbed next to the wreckage.
"We rescued at least 30 people, and some of them managed to survive, but three or four of them died," said Sanjeev Rout, an electrician. A few meters away, rescue workers tried to cut their way into a damaged red-coloured coach.
The collision occurred at around 7 p.m. (1330 GMT) on Friday when the Howrah Superfast Express from Bengaluru to Howrah in West Bengal collided with the Coromandel Express from Kolkata to Chennai.
Indian Railways says it transports more than 13 million people every day. But the state-run monopoly has had a patchy safety record because of ageing infrastructure.
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik described the crash as "extremely tragic".
Opposition Congress party leader Jairam Ramesh said the accident reinforced why safety should always be the foremost priority of the rail network.
Modi's administration has launched high-speed trains as part of plans to modernize the network, but critics say it has not focused enough on safety and upgrading ageing infrastructure.
Experts said Friday's train accident came as a blow to Modi's makeover plans for railways.
India's deadliest railway accident was in 1981 when a train plunged off a bridge into a river in Bihar state, killing an estimated 800 people.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron expressed condolences over the accident.

UK air traffic control hit by network-wide failure
Some regional routes operating but few planes took off from Heathrow and inbound flights have been held
Hundreds of flights in and out of the UK have been delayed due to a “network-wide” computer failure at the national air traffic control systems.
Some passengers have been told they could face delays of up to 12 hours while engineers seek to tackle the fault.
According to flight tracking sites, few planes have been able to take off from London Heathrow, the UK’s busiest airport, since 11.30am, while inbound short-haul flights have been held from departure.
A spokesperson for Nats, the national airspace controllers, said: “We are currently experiencing a technical issue and have applied traffic flow restrictions to maintain safety. Engineers are working to find and then fix the fault.
“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
A Heathrow spokesperson said: “As a result of national airspace issues there is disruption to flights across the UK. Passengers are advised to check with their airline for the latest information. We are working closely with Nats and other airport partners to minimize the impact this has on passengers.”
British Airways told passengers that its flights were subject to delays. A spokesperson added: “We are working closely with Nats to understand the impact of a technical issue that is affecting UK airspace, and will keep our customers up to date with the latest information.”
The Glasgow-based regional carrier Loganair warned customers on X, formerly known as Twitter: “There has been a network-wide failure of UK air traffic control computer systems this morning.”
It said regional Scottish flights could operate but international flights could be delayed.
Those affected by delays included many people returning from the World Athletics Championships in Hungary.
The BBC presenter Gabby Logan said on X that her plane was stuck on the runway at Budapest airport, adding: “After almost 3 weeks away from home I am hours from hugging my family. And have just been told UK airspace is shut. We could be here for 12 hours. So we sit on the plane and wait.”
London Gatwick said planes were continuing to take off and land on Monday afternoon.
Engineers at Nats will be racing against the clock, with an extended outage likely to spell widespread cancellations. A computer glitch at the control center in Swanwick in 2014 affected flights until the following day, despite airspace being curtailed only for about an hour.

Italian air force aircraft crashes during an acrobatic exercise. A girl on the ground was killed. An aircraft of the Italian acrobatic air team the Frecce Tricolori has crashed during a practice run in the northern Turin province.
The crash reportedly happened after takeoff from the Turin Caselle airport, near the industrial northern city. There was no immediate word on the pilot’s condition or the reason for the crash.
Photos of the aftermath show the wreckage of the plane in a cornfield, and a burned and wrecked car overturned on the side of a road.
The Frecce Tricolori is Italy’s premier team of acrobatic pilots, part of the Italian air force. They typically perform dramatic flybys at events of national importance, leaving streaks of red, green and white smoke for the colors of the Italian flag. They perform more intricate acrobatics during air shows.
The squad was preparing for a show on Sunday as part of events marking the 100th anniversary of the Italian Air Force.

United Airlines flights grounded nationwide because of computer problems
Joel Rose
United Airlines had major operational difficulties Wednesday evening with a computer system that helps determine the weight and balance of departing aircraft. The airline prevented all departures from taking off. Flights already in the air were not affected by the computer problems.
WASHINGTON — Hundreds of United Airlines flights were disrupted on Wednesday evening as the carrier grappled with a major computer system outage.
The "technology disruption" forced United to hold hundreds of flights at their departure airports for several hours.
At the carrier's request, the Federal Aviation Administration issued ground stops for all of its United flights at the airline's major hubs including Chicago, Houston, Denver, Newark, N.J. and San Francisco. That did not include flights on the company's smaller regional jets.
Some jets that were preparing for takeoff and had been waiting for the problems to resolve eventually returned to their gates for passengers to deplane. United flights that were already in the air were not affected by the technology issue.
The incident was not related to recent concerns about cybersecurity in the airline industry, United said. The impacted computer system housed information about each flight and fed it to other computer systems, according to United, including those that calculate weight and balance and track flight times.
United is just the latest major carrier to suffer a systemwide computer meltdown.
In 2022, Southwest Airlines fell apart during the busy Christmas holiday travel period. A major winter storm caused travel disruptions across the U.S., forcing airlines to cancel thousands of flights. While most recovered relatively quickly, Southwest did not. The airline ultimately canceled 16,900 flights, stranding more than 2 million passengers.

A significant power outage in southeast Berlin is suspected to be caused by a politically motivated arson attack by extremists. The police noted the choice of two power masts as targets and the methods used by the perpetrators as indicators. Currently, it is unclear which political group was involved.
About 43,000 households and 3,000 businesses are affected, and emergency firefighters assisted two nursing homes, relocating patients to hospitals.
The traffic situation has been challenging with traffic lights out, and the police are managing intersections. Authorities warn of possible disruptions to mobile networks and advise using local police stations for emergencies.

Nearly 3,800 Manassas residents & businesses lost power Sun night, the third major outage in just over a week.
As of 9:50 p.m., the city reported 3,731 customers without power, concentrated in downtown & surrounding neighborhoods.
Sunday’s blackout is the third outage in 9 days to hit Manassas.
On Oct 16, a blown manhole near Church & West St caused a short circuit on the city’s internal distribution system.
That incident cut power to parts of downtown for about 2.5 hrs before most service was restored by 3:23 a.m.
Just 5 days earlier, on Oct 11, a Dominion Energy transmission failure knocked out 2 of the city’s main substations — Battery Heights & Prince William — leaving roughly 6,000 customers without power.
