United jet engine broke up over Denver after inadequate inspections: NTSB report

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:16:59 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — An engine on a United Airlines jet broke up over Denver in 2021 because of wear and tear on a fan blade that was not adequately inspected for signs of cracking, federal investigators said Friday.The National Transportation Safety Board said manufacturer Pratt & Whitney did not call for inspections to be done frequently enough, which allowed tiny cracks to grow undetected until the fan blade broke. Trump lawyers move ‘insurrection’ clause lawsuit to federal court The NTSB said the design and testing of the engine inlet contributed to the severity of the situation, and other factors made the engine fire worse than it should have been.The right-side engine of the Boeing 777 broke apart shortly after takeoff from Denver International Airport, raining parts over suburban neighborhoods. The pilots declared an emergency and landed the plane safely 24 minutes after takeoff.Pieces of the engine inlet, fan cowls and thrust reversers broke off and fell on a public park ...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:16:59 GMT

(CNN) — The police officer who fatally shot Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop last month was charged with murder, the Philadelphia district attorney said Friday after releasing body camera footage of the”extremely violent” encounter.The unedited footage shows Officer Mark Dial firing into Irizarry’s car through the rolled up driver’s side window roughly five seconds after exiting a police car.Immediately before the officer fires six shots, an unidentified voice from outside the car is heard saying, “I will f**king shoot you!”Irizarry, bloodied and unresponsive, was pulled out of the car by an officer and then carried to the back of a patrol vehicle in which he was rushed to a hospital, according to the video.District Attorney Larry Krasner said Irizarry’s family saw the footage and asked that it be released in its entirety.“These body-worn camera videos will be introduced into evidence, most likely at both the preliminary hearing and a trial,” Krasner said after re...

JP Progressive group’s members fund Kendra Lara’s crash defense

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:16:59 GMT

A report commissioned by City Councilor Kendra Lara that shows she wasn’t speeding at the time of her late June car crash was paid for, in part, by two members of a progressive steering committee that voted to endorse her last week.Word began to leak soon after Lara and her attorney held a press conference Thursday evening to discuss the new findings that members of the Jamaica Plain Progressives Steering Committee contributed financially to the report, raising questions about whether it violated campaign finance or ethics laws.“My attorney was the one that wrote the check and I am going to pay for it, and how that is paid for, how I’m paying my private legal fees is not the business of the Boston Herald,” Lara told the Herald Friday.When pressed about whether this meant information provided to the Herald was inaccurate, and that the JP Progressives had nothing to do with the payment, Lara did not directly answer the question.“What I am saying is that my lawyer wrote a check to The ...

Powerful earthquake strikes Morocco, damaging buildings and sending people into the streets

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:16:59 GMT

RABAT, Morocco (AP) — A powerful earthquake struck Morocco late Friday, damaging buildings in major cities and sending panicked people pouring into streets and alleyways from the capital Rabat to Marrakech, the county’s most visited tourist destination.There was no immediate word on any casualties, nor any reports from government officials on the tremor’s impact.Moroccans posted videos showing some buildings turned to rubble and parts of the famous red walls that surround the old city in historic Marrakech damaged. Tourists and others posted videos of people evacuating restaurants in the city as throbbing club music played.The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 when it hit at 11:11 p.m. (2211 GMT). Morocco’s National Seismic Monitoring and Alert Network measured it at 7 on the Richter scale. Variations in early measurements are common, although either reading would be Morocco’s strongest in years. Though earthquakes are r...

Poilievre rallies Conservatives hungry for a ‘blue wave’ with stump speech, base hits

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:16:59 GMT

QUEBEC — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tried painting himself as a prime minister in waiting in an election-style speech to party faithful Friday, filling it with messages he plans to take to Canadians, while throwing some red meat to his base. Poilievre’s more than hour-long address to the more than 2,500 supporters gathered for the party’s policy convention in Quebec City was the marquee event of the meet-up, which falls almost exactly to the day one year ago since he romped to a crushing first-ballot victory in the leadership race.It was his first address to a party convention as leader and was a highly anticipated event to see how he would paint a Conservative vision for the country. “I want to thank my own parents,” Poilievre said to a sea of supporters bathed in blue stage lights. “It’s because they made the decision to adopt me and work hard in front of a classroom that I now stand proudly in front of this room.” As he thanked ...

TIFF’23: Dumb Money is anything but dumb

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:16:59 GMT

The GameStop short squeeze of 2021 was a strange financial phenomenon. It taught many about the complexities of shorting (where investors essentially invest against the success of a stock) and a short squeeze (where the price of a stock is artificially inflated, and the investors who shorted it have to sell their stock as their shorting value decreases). Many regular people who weren’t on Wall Street continued to pour money into buying GameStop stock, mystifying many. This film breaks it down simply, and takes a complicated financial story and turns it into a human story.One of my favourite films I've seen at #TIFF23 is about a concept I don't completely understand, starring a massive ensemble cast showcasing one of the craziest news stories of 2021. Shout out to everyone involved with Dumb Money.— James Mackin @ TIFF 23 (@JamesMackin10) September 9, 2023Dumb Money dramatizes the short squeeze by focusing on a large ensemble cast with multiple viewpoints. It cent...
