'I'm not OK': Off-duty pilot said he was having a breakdown before trying to cut engines, court docs reveal

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:18:07 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – An off-duty pilot who allegedly tried to bring down a commercial flight from Washington to California on Sunday engaged in casual conversation prior to "losing it," according to court documents. The documents, released Tuesday, recounted the moments leading up to the incident. Horizon Airlines Flight 2059 was forced to make an emergency landing in Portland, Oregon, on Sunday evening after a “credible threat to an authorized occupant” on board. Authorities said an off-duty pilot, identified as 44-year-old Joseph D. Emerson, was sitting in the plane's jump seat and allegedly “attempted to disrupt the operation of the engines" by pulling the fire handles in the cockpit.

Climate change leading to earlier formation of intense hurricanes

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:18:07 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A new University of Hawaii study found that intense category four and five hurricanes are forming earlier each decade as the climate changes.The research was co-authored by University of Hawaii professor of atmospheric sciences Pao-Shin Chu, who also serves as the Hawaii State Climatologist. Chu and his team found that since the 1980s, hurricanes with wind speeds of 131+ miles per hour are developing three to four days earlier each decade as the climate warms. That means intense hurricanes are now developing half of a month earlier than they did 40 years ago.The factor to blame is the earlier onset of favorable oceanic conditions, according to the authors.While changes in the number and intensity of hurricanes in a changing climate are fairly well-studied, little was known about the seasonality of the storms before Chu and his co-authors conducted this study.By analyzing satellite data, historical tropical cyclone tracks, rainfall records and various statistical met...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:18:07 GMT

The Gophers football program altered a key in-game process when it played the Michigan Wolverines for the Little Brown Jug on Oct. 7.On Sept. 30, players on Minnesota’s offense looked to the sideline for play-call signals during the 35-24 win over Louisiana. But in Michigan’s 52-10 win the following Saturday, the Gophers huddled before plays, with quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis often consulting a play card on his left wrist band. The Gophers offense huddled again in last Saturday’s 12-10 victory at Iowa.Twelve days after the Minnesota-Michigan game, the Big Ten said the NCAA was investigating allegations of sign stealing by the Wolverines. The process of trying to glean what the other team is signaling from the sideline pre-snap is permitted during games, but scouting future opponents in-person has been prohibited since 1994.Gophers coach P.J. Fleck was asked about the Michigan investigation on Monday; all he shared to the Pioneer Press was that the Gophers huddled up to make p...
