EMP denial

[Gerard Zwaan]

Airbus said roughly 6,000 of its A320 family of planes need immediate updates to software and, in some cases, hardware, and it urged airlines to ground those aircraft.

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.

Positive train control to a great degree will still be dependent on wireless data links, GPS, and text messaging.

And it's limitations may fail to prevent certain low speed collisions, derailments caused by track or train defect, grade

crossing collisions, or collisions with previously derailed trains.  PTC installed in the absence of track circuit blocks, will

not detect broken rails, flooded tracks, or dangerous debris fouling the line.

NJ Transit Officials Approve Budget for Positive Train Control

New Jersey Transit is making headway toward implementing positive train control — the lifesaving technology that can automatically slow or stop an off-kilter train. New Jersey Transit’s board today approved an agreement to lease radio frequency spectrum — a necessary part of the automatic brake system — to cover the northern and eastern parts of the railroad. Back in April, NJT hashed out a deal to cover the southern, central and western parts. The transit agency’s new executive director says that one piece of the puzzle is nearly done.

“We are waiting to hear from several or really one government agency with regard to that proposal and we fully anticipate that we’re going to get all the spectrum we need, possibly within the next several months,” said NJ Transit Executive Director Steve Santoro.

NJ Transit has until the end of 2018 to fully implement positive train control and until then, it’ll bear the challenges of designing, developing and deploying the system all at once. When an NJ Transit commuter train crashed into Hoboken Terminal last month leaving one dead and more than 100 injured, National Transportation Safety Board investigators zeroed in on the absence of an automatic braking system. When a train derailed near Philadelphia in May 2015, the NTSB came right out and said it could have been prevented with positive train control.

“Anybody who rides along this region knows it’s inadequate, it’s not as dependable as it should be and we have problems. And I wanted to fight to try to bring resources home and now we’ve succeeded in doing a lot of that,” said U.S. Sen. Cory Booker.

Booker is the top Democrat on the Senate committee that oversees railroads. He pushed for faster, greater implementation of automatic braking systems along the Northeast Corridor. But there’s more work to be done, not only in terms of improving rail safety, but also security..."

Pilot makes emergency landing at IAH after fumes flood cockpit

Published 6:17 pm, Sunday, October 23, 2016   

A pilot taking off from George Bush Intercontinental Airport averted possible disaster with an emergency landing Sunday evening. 

"The pilot of United Express Flight 3888, an Embraer E145, reported an emergency due to fumes in the cockpit," said FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford.

The aircraft returned to Bush and made a safe landing just after 5:30 p.m.

United's flight tracker shows that the plane was headed for Birmingham, Ala. Original take-off time was 3:35 p.m., but the plane left the runway 45 minutes late. 

After the emergency landing, it's now set to take off again at 6:25 p.m. and will touch down at 8:17 p.m., nearly three hours behind schedule. 

United did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Another shelter in place ordered due to power failure at a gasoline and diesel refinery ,

 COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP)  Oct 14, 2016— Suncor Energy says it is monitoring the air around its Denver-area refinery after a power failure shut the plant down, sending plumes of smoke into the air.

Spokeswoman Nicole Fisher says the power failure happened around noon Friday.

She says the orange and black smoke clouds visible from downtown were visible emissions from the refinery. She didn't have details about what they were.

The Adams County Sheriff's Office says people within a 1.5 -mile radius of the Suncor refinery in Commerce City have been told to shelter in place Friday afternoon.

The refinery produces gasoline, diesel fuel and asphalt. It can produce up to 98,000 barrels per day.

People near a Denver-area refinery are being told to stay indoors as firefighters respond to plumes of smoke from its stacks.

Abrupt loss of power Tuesday (Oct 12) led to flaring at the former Exxon Mobil refinery in Torrance, where city officials urged residents to shelter in place.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-south-bay-outage-201610...

 Faulty wiring installed last week during an equipment overhaul caused a power outage that shut down a South Bay refinery and left about 100,000 customers in the area without electricity, Southern California Edison said Wednesday.

The abrupt loss of power about 5:40 a.m. Tuesday led to flaring at the former Exxon Mobil refinery in Torrance, where city officials urged residents to shelter in place.

Southern California Edison’s crews made a wiring error on Friday while upgrading a major substation, part of a multiyear effort to expand the grid’s capacity and improve reliability, said Paul Grigaux, the utility’s vice president for transmission, substations and operations.

When parts of the substation were “isolated” on Tuesday morning so that upgrades could continue, the increased current automatically triggered a protection device that operated incorrectly because of the wiring mistake and cut off power, Grigaux said..."

Massive power outages unacceptable, violation for Torrance refinery

http://mynewsla.com/crime/2016/10/13/massive-power-outages-unaccept...

"...AQMD officials noted that during a massive South Bay power outage Tuesday morning, the resulting flaring operation at the refinery “emitted tall flames and billowing black smoke for hours,” leading to residents receiving a shelter-in-place order.

Flaring — a safety measure that burns off gas during a malfunction — also occurred at the refinery on Sept. 19 during another power outage, and on July 11 because of a software malfunction.

AQMD officials next week will propose an Order of Abatement for the plant seeking improvements in the refinery’s electrical infrastructure and power supply, along with enhanced monitoring and maintenance.

The agency will also begin developing regulations aimed at addressing flaring, such as imposing higher mitigation fees and requiring most extensive backup power supplies to prevent flaring incidents..."

Buffett's BNSF Pressures Congress to Extend Rail Safety Deadline

http://www.newsmax.com/Finance/Companies/warren-buffett-congress-ra...

BNSF Railway Co., the railroad owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc., is ratcheting up pressure on Congress to postpone a deadline for installing a safety system by the end of the year, saying it would probably have to halt freight and passenger traffic if the requirement isn’t delayed.

"..Freight railroads, worried about fines and liability should they violate the deadline, have said they will stop hauling cargo like chlorine, which becomes a toxic gas when exposed to the air, and prevent commuter trains and Amtrak from using their tracks if the deadline isn’t delayed.."

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., "attributed passage of the bill to lobbying by railroads, among the most powerful interest groups in Washington".

AT LEAST 1 DEAD, MULTIPLE CRITICAL INJURIES IN HOBOKEN TRAIN ACCIDENT
HOBOKEN, New Jersey  -- At least one person was killed and more than 100 hurt when a commuter train carrying 250 passengers barreled into a New Jersey rail station during the Thursday morning rush hour, causing serious damage to both the train and station.
Witnesses reported serious injuries, including one woman who was trapped under concrete and many people bleeding.

"We're panicking, because I believe those people in the front were very badly injured," a passenger, Jamie, told reporters at the scene. "So they started yelling, because they saw the blood."

The incident happened just before 9 a.m. Thursday, with witnesses reporting that the train appeared to crash into the station. State officials confirmed the fatality, and it is possible more people were killed.

"I heard a kaboom, and the whole place shook," said William Blaine, an engineer for a freight line who had just gotten off a train. "Everybody got quiet, because the first thing you think is a bomb...I ran out, and I just saw people all over the ground and debris all over the place."

It was train number 1614 on the Pascack Valley Line, which departed from Spring Valley at 7:23 and was due to arrive in Hoboken at 8:38. It was apparently running late, and witnesses said it was moving fast when it slammed into the platform. Passengers told Eyewitness News that there was absolutely no braking as the train pulled into the station.

"I stepped over a body, and it was dead woman," Blaine said. "I backed up, and people started running over, and I just started telling people they needed to get back, because there was electrical wiring and water running, and the ceiling was about to cave in."

Officials say there is no clear indication of the cause at this point, but the possibilities investigators are looking at include human failure, catastrophic mechanical failure and sabotage/terror/foul play. Investigators do NOT suspect anything intentional, but they are looking at everything.

New Jersey state EMS is reporting more than 100 patients, but the extent of the injuries is unknown. New Jersey Transit reported multiple passengers trapped, structural damage and a collapse in the station. Dozens of ambulances were at the scene, and victims were being wheeled away on stretchers. Officials described "multiple critical injuries."

The train came to a halt in a covered area between the station's indoor waiting area and the platform. A metal structure covering the area collapsed, and officials reported heavy damage to terminal. Structural engineers and investigators from the Federal Railroad Administration are already on the scene, and investigators from the NTSB were headed there.

Most of the injuries appeared to be in the first car or people struck by debris inside the station. Passengers on the second car and behind it were able to exit the train, and some reportedly broke the emergency windows to escape.

All rail service is suspended in and out of Hoboken. New Jersey Transit bus and private carriers are honoring NJT rail tickets and passes, and NY Waterway ferry is accepting rail tickets and passes. Passengers are advised to use NJ Transit Light Rail.

Hoboken, which is New Jersey Transit's fifth-busiest stations with 15,000 boardings per weekday, is the final stop for several train lines and a transfer point for many commuters on their way to New York City.

NJ Transit provides more than 200 million passenger trips annually on bus, rail and light rail lines. More than 100,000 people use NJ Transit trains to commute from New Jersey into New York City daily.

Nearly 1.5 million without power in Puerto Rico 
http://www.kcra.com/national/nearly-15-million-without-power-in-pue... 

Key airport still operational, A power outage on the island has left nearly 1.5 million people without power, according to a statement from the government-run electric company AEE.

The blackout is affecting most of the country, causing traffic jams and forcing business closures.

But telecommunications services are working normally and the Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport continues to operate, Alejandro García Padilla, the governor of Puerto Rico, said at a news conference.

Padilla said the outage will last for hours, though some areas may get electricity back in two to four hours.

AEE said the blackout begun after a fire at its Aguierre power plant, but it is under control. No injuries have been reported.

At the moment, the government does not believe that the outage was the result of any kind of sabotage to the electric power company, but that will need to be investigated, Padilla said.
