EMP denial

MAJOR Internet Outage, November 18, 2025.

Cloudflare down today: Cloudflare, a company that usually works quietly behind the scenes to keep much of the internet running smoothly, found itself front and center on Tuesday morning after a major outage disrupted access to some of the world’s biggest websites

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.

Explosion sparks fire, chemical spill at Sonoma County geothermal plant near Cloverdale

Sonoma County officials are investigating what caused a transformer to explode and a fire to break out Saturday night at a geothermal power plant in The Geysers east of Cloverdale, not far from the energy facilities where October’s destructive Kincade fire started.

The extent of the damage from a fire that consumed a transformer and a generator, but didn’t harm any of the workers on site, is still being determined.

Fire crews from Cal Fire and Lake County responded to a thermal plant near Geysers Resort and Big Sulphur Creek roads about 10:55 p.m. after receiving reports that hazardous material was leaking due to an ongoing fire, said Cal Fire Capt. Cody Parks.

Hazardous material teams from Sonoma County and Santa Rosa were called in to evaluate the seeping chemical before suppression efforts could begin, he said.

“They wanted to make sure it wasn’t toxic and it wasn’t harmful to the crews,” Parks said of the leakage.

After specialists determined it was safe, firefighters extinguished the blaze using foam and water. They cleared the property by 4 a.m. Sunday.

Sonoma County fire inspector Charles Rivers identified the substance as mineral oil, which is often used as an electrical insulator in generators.

Rivers said the leaked mineral oil spread to a nearby generator, and the heat was so intense that the generator then ignited.

The generator leaked diesel fuel that also caught fire, Rivers said. No other structures or property were damaged.

Officials credited overnight rains and damp ground for helping keep the fire in check.

“It didn’t spread farther than that area,” Parks said. “It stayed contained within the commercial building.”

Cal Fire officials were unsure whose property caught fire. Calpine, the country’s largest geothermal and natural gas electricity provider, operates facilities in the area. A phone message left with Calpine was not immediately returned.

The Kincade fire, which burned nearly 78,000 acres during two weeks in late October and early November, is believed to have started when a PG&E transmission line failed near The Geysers, at another geothermal plant that is roughly 6 miles southeast of Saturday night’s incident.

“It’s within same general area, but not the specific origin area,” Parks said.

United Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Flames Appear to Shoot From Engine

The cause of the mechanical issue remained under investigation; United said the plane will be fully inspected to determine the cause.

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/flight-from-...

 

A plane from San Diego was forced to make an emergency landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, due to a mechanical issue that appeared to cause sparks to fly from the engine during the overnight flight.

United Airlines Flight 366 was scheduled to land about 4:30 a.m. in Chicago but was diverted as a result of what appeared to be an issue with one of the plane's engines, a spokesperson for United Airlines said in a statement.

Thomas Chorny was aboard the flight and captured video of flashes coming from beneath the plane's right wing. Chorny told NBC News he at first felt bumps that felt like turbulence but when he looked out the window, flames were shooting from the engine.

"It was definitely unsettling... to say the least. They shut the engine down to idle and the flames went out," Corny said. "Then we started banking left and went down to a much lower altitude. So I knew that they were taking some kind of action in response."

Ten minutes later, flight officials announced the plane would be diverting to Albuquerque, he said.

United said the flight landed safely at a gate and passengers disembarked. Another plane was brought in to take passengers to their final destination of Chicago, the airline said.

The cause of the mechanical issue remained under investigation. United said the plane will be fully inspected to determine the cause.

No injuries were reported.

According to flight tracking data, the plane was a Boeing 737-800, not a Boeing 737 Max, the model grounded after two deadly crashes.

‘Terrifying’ ordeal forced plane to return to Sydney airport shortly after takeoff

Passengers on a Qantas flight from Sydney to Perth evacuated via slides after the Airbus A330 was forced to return as the cabin filled with smoke.

Qantas said flight 575 returned to Sydney shortly after takeoff on Sunday morning due to a hydraulic issue.

“Once back at the gate, the captain made the decision to evacuate the aircraft as a precaution and three emergency slides were deployed,” the airline said in a statement.

“Passengers were evacuated through both the slides and normal exits.”

One passenger described the incident on Twitter as “terrifying”.

“Just had to evacuate my flight to Perth after engineering issues. Everyone had to exit the plane via slide onto Sydney tarmac after the cabin filled with smoke and the captain screamed evacuate,” she tweeted.

Another passenger, Sydney mechanic Rahman Akbari, told the Daily Telegraph that the captain appeared calm but it was a “little bit” scary when the crew began yelling “evacuate, evacuate” on the tarmac.

“Initially it was just the smell, we could smell something but after a few minutes this fume starting building up in the cabin,” he told the newspaper.

Qantas said engineers were inspecting the aircraft.

TESLA batteries catching fire.   December 2, 2019 

Autriche : une épave de Tesla inquiète à cause de ses batteries

Tesla fires have become a battleground for the company's supporters and detractors.

• Supporters say the media makes too much of Tesla fires. Detractors say Tesla isn't being open enough about what causes them.
• Some fires start after a crash. But others — like a recent one that engulfed a Model S sitting in a parking lot in Shanghai — seem to have started for no reason at all.
• "There are really only a few reasons why a lithium-ion battery catches on fire," one fire expert told Business Insider. "Liquid, dead short," or, for every one battery cell in a billion, "spontaneous combustion."
• Factors outside the battery, like a crash or other damage, matter. But manufacturing issues matter too.

Tesla under investigation on claim it throttled batteries to hide fire risk
Published Fri, Oct 4 2019
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/04/tesla-battery-fire-issues-under-inv...

Tesla is facing new scrutiny from a federal auto safety agency around battery issues in some Model S and Model X vehicles.
A notice published Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states the agency launched an investigation into a possible defect tied to battery packs that could cause “non-crash fires” in some Teslas

A defect petition submitted to NHTSA by consumer attorney Edward Chen prompted the investigation.

Chen filed the petition on behalf of Tesla owners, including his client David Rasmussen, after Tesla pushed over-the-air software updates to some vehicles, which reduced the range the electric cars could travel on a single charge, owners said.

The petition complained that the software updates, which started in May 2019, were not an appropriate fix for batteries that could ignite in non-crash scenarios.

Chen wrote, in a letter submitted to the Department of Transportation and NHTSA, accompanying the petition: “Tesla is using over-the-air software updates to mask and cover-up a potentially widespread and dangerous issue with the batteries in their vehicles.”

Following the investigation into the battery fire and throttling issues, NHTSA will either decide to issue a recall-- which would be financially burdensome to Tesla and could tarnish its reputation-- or is required to publish its findings in the federal register if a recall is not necessary.

Tesla is striving to reduce the costs of its batteries. In the past two years, the company struggled with waste and quality control at its giant battery plant, the Gigafactory, outside of Reno, Nevada.

Representatives from Tesla did not respond to requests for comment.

In 2016, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that he believed most safety complaints filed to NHTSA were “fraudulent” and suggested such complaints were part of a broad conspiracy to thwart his electric vehicle company.

Flight from Tel Aviv causes London panic as scrambled jets set off sonic boom

RAF planes sent to check US-bound retired El Al aircraft after it briefly goes unresponsive over British airspace; bang wakes many residents of capital at 4 a.m.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/flight-from-tel-aviv-causes-london-pa...

A Boeing 767 plane flying from Israel to the United States went unresponsive over the United Kingdom early Sunday, causing Royal Air Force jets to be scrambled towards it and setting off a sonic boom that sounded throughout London.

The retired El Al plane, which according to the Ynet news site had been sold to a German company, took off from Ben Gurion Airport on its way to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the US. On the way, around 4 a.m. (UK time), it did not respond to British authorities’ attempt to contact it due to a communications malfunction.

Two Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled from an Royal Air Force base in Coningsby and intercepted the plane, UK media reported. After communications with the aircraft were restored, the flight continued as planned toward the US and the fighter jets returned to their base.
But while the incident ended safely, it definitely didn’t end quietly. The air force planes had been cleared to go faster than the speed of sound on their way to intercept the unresponsive aircraft, setting off a loud bang that woke up many residents of Britain’s capital.

Mystery blackout at major airport in California strands holiday travelers

Nov 27th 2019 4:21AM

• The power went out at Oakland International Airport on Tuesday evening at around 6:30 p.m. local time, kicking off the busy Thanksgiving travel rush.
• The full blackout lasted between eight to 10 seconds, according to local news, before backup generators kicked in.
• On Twitter, the airport stated that the power was restored at around 8 p.m. local time.
• "Flights, both arrivals and departures, are operating at this time," according to a tweet from the airport. "Power has been restored to majority of the terminal but sporadic outages remain. Screening checkpoints are open. Please check with your airline for flight updates. We apologize for this inconvenience."
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The power has been restored to Oakland International Airport, after an outage left Thanksgiving travelers stranded in security lines, stuck on planes, seated in the dark, or unable to collect baggage.

An airport spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Business Insider that the cause for the power outage is still under investigation.

"Oakland International Airport is investigating a power disruption affecting terminal and flight operations this evening. Security screening was temporarily halted but has resumed," the spokesperson wrote. "Flight arrivals continued during the outage, however, some departures were delayed. Terminal power is nearing full restoration at this time. The Airport is working to determine the cause of the outage and will provide further updates as they become available."

Photos circulating on social media from people in the airport showed passengers sitting on the floor and long lines for security check-ins.

Some travelers tweeted that they were not able to get their bags, due to the power outage. The airport tweeted that it expected that airlines would contact passengers whose bags were left because of the power outage.

Mariam Bouricius, a passenger on a Southwest flight that was supposed to depart to Houston, told Business Insider at 8:20 p.m. local time that she had been on a Houston-bound plane for nearly two hours waiting for power to be restored.

"We have been getting updates about every 10mins from either the captain or flight attendants," she said. "They've been great about doing water service and being diligent about answering what they can."

She added that the flight was still waiting at around 8:20 p.m. local time to depart after power had been restored. A tweet from Bouricius at 9:12 p.m. indicated that she had not yet left: "Update from the captain: the jetway won't turned on so we can't move the plane.

Departures from Oakland were averaging delays of 25 minutes shortly into the power outage, while arrivals were delayed an average of 40 minutes, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. Times were expected to lengthen as delays continued to build. As of 9:30 p.m. local time "arrival delays for airborne aircraft an average of 38 minutes,
departure delays an average of 1 hours 40 minutes," according to FlightAware.

Nearly 32 million Americans are expected to travel by air during the 12-day period surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday, from November 22 to December 3, 2019, according to industry trade group Airlines for America (A4A). 2.82 million were forecasted to fly on Tuesday, making it the third-busiest day before the holiday on Thursday.

A Philippine Airlines plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport when one of its engines began spouting flames and smoke shortly after takeoff. 

The Boeing 777 bound for Manila departed on Thursday just after 11am and was forced to turn back less than an hour later after a mechanical malfunction caused the right-side engine to catch fire.  

Frightening footage recorded from the ground and shared on social media showed the aircraft leaving a trail of black smoke behind it as it soared over LAX. 

Twitter user @andrewblakeames tweeted a video with the caption: 'Is a plane supposed to spew flames?' 

Airline officials said there was no active fire when the plane landed without incident. 

None of the 347 passengers on the plane were injured. 

One passenger described the ordeal to CBS2.  

'As soon as it lifted off the ground, we heard four large bangs,' they said. 'The right side, interior side engine blew up and was on fire.'

The witness said the sight and sound caused some passengers to scream and cry.  

An airline spokesperson said that all passengers were transferred onto another flight.
