Wild dashcam video shows the nightmarish moment a United Airlines plane struck a bakery truck on the New Jersey Turnpike while coming in to land at Newark Airport. Footage inside the truck shows the driver, who works for the Baltimore-based H&S Bakery, looking happy and relaxed while driving along the Turnpike Sunday afternoon when the terrifying saga unfolded. He had been belting out a tune just as the whistling sound of incoming United Airlines Flight 169 could be heard overhead. The confused driver glanced up quickly as one of the jet’s wheels made impact with the truck’s window — sending glass flying.

He was unbelievably fortunate. That same microburst event happened in 1985 along Hwy 183 South of the Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) airport and the driver lost his life along with some 135 plus people on the plane.

Many years ago I was a passenger in a car driving the NJ Turnpike when lo and behold a plane coming in for a landing flew really, really low above the car; it seemed like it was only 10-12 feet above us although I know it couldn't have been that low. Everyone in the car ducked!

#1: Minor correction: the fatality caused by Delta 191 on the approach into DFW was on Hwy 114 north of the airport. UA 169 is a Boeing 767, landing on runway 29 with a landing distance of 6500 feet. You don't wanna land long; so you try to put it in the landing zone. A bit of shear on short final can be disastrous

For a good laugh, search YouTube for "405: The Movie" - unofficially credited as the first viral video (before there was a YouTube or any other video-sharing site). It was created over 25 years ago, when CG graphics was in its infancy but is extremely well done and was a fascinating watch at the time. Still is.

It doesn't seem like bad weather. Is it really a microburst? If so, lucky and not on the pilot. But the right side of the video shows scattered nothingburger clouds, does not look to me like microburst weather.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is on maternity leave, so Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed the press today, and he didn’t disappoint. The Florida Republican remained calm as he handled the hectic scene inside the briefing room, where reporters were eager to learn about the developing situation in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran. Rubio, who is considered a potential 2028 contender, likely enjoyed the media attention, though he made jokes about two-parters from the pool while joking that he needed a laser pointer, as his pointing to reporters while taking questions wasn't effective.

California’s emergency telephone service has become another victim of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s dismal leadership. After seven years and nearly $500 million spent, California’s 911 emergency system overhaul is a failure, as Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, reported. “During his first year in office, the governor confidently projected that he would replace the state’s emergency call system within three years, a goal that officials previously estimated would cost $132 million. But nearly seven years later, the state has spent more than $450 million on a regionalized ‘Next Generation’ digital system that suffered such appalling failures

Ryan DellaFranco, 20, allegedly attacked his 19-year-old ex-girlfriend inside his off-campus apartment, according to the Tuscaloosa Police Department, news outlets reported. Police have been tight-lipped about the details, but not social media, according to the New York Post, which featured one online account in its coverage. “He slammed her head into a toilet and was over top of her choking her,”

Washington, D.C., judge on Monday apologized to the suspect who allegedly opened fire during the White House Correspondents' dinner last month for how he has been treated by authorities in jail. Cole Tomas Allen, a resident of Torrance, California, was placed under suicide watch at the D.C. jail because he allegedly told the FBI that he expected to die during the shooting. Suicide watch protocols mandated Allen remain on a 24-hour lockdown in a "safe cell," with no phone access to call or receive visits from anyone other than his legal team. Prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine claimed that since Allen told investigators he did not expect to survive the alleged attack,

Another pharmacy is leaving Chicago because of theft, and somehow, the villain of the story is not the people stealing from it. The villain is apparently the business itself, which finally decided it had enough and decided to cut its losses. According to a report from the Chicago Sun-Times, a Walgreens located at 8628 S. Cottage Grove Ave. in the crime-ridden area is set to close permanently on June 4. Democratic Alderman William Hall joined residents outside the store Monday, where signs read “Senior Lives Matter” and “End Corporate Abandonment.” “Walgreens should be charged with first-degree corporate abandonment,” Hall said. “It should be a crime the way they’re treating our elders.

South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace claimed Monday that Congress’ sexual harassment slush fund allegedly paid for settlements for a handful of former lawmakers that equaled more than $300,000. Mace promised accountability for the victims, and the House paid out approximately $338,000 to settle the cases. One former lawmaker was targeted in sexual assault lawsuits three times and the House cumulatively paid out $115,000 to dismiss those cases. The House Oversight panel subpoenaed information detailing the government payouts after a March committee vote, seeking a full accounting of payouts made before the settlements ended in 2018, according to Politico.

In its recent Callais decision, the Supreme Court held that districts gerrymandered solely so that blacks can have a separate and special say in politics are unconstitutional. While past elections cannot be changed, future elections must be corrected. Callais asked that the Court immediately certify the decision, which is normally a 32-day process. Louisiana agreed. Because November’s elections are quickly approaching, the Supreme Court held that, yes, it could immediately certify the opinion. Callais is final. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a strong dissent to this procedural holding. She opened by pointing out that Louisiana

The Supreme Court ruled Monday its prior ruling on race-based congressional districts takes immediate effect. The order {SEE HERE} speeds up the normal 32-day timeline and puts the State of Louisiana on notice their current districts are not constitutional. Effectively the Louisiana Governor and legislature have delayed the election to address the districts. However, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was not happy with the immediacy ruling and wrote a dissent that was so ridiculous none of the other minority justices would sign on to it. Jackson said the majority “unshackles itself” from “constraints.” The court should follow the default rule, she insisted.

bill that aims to keep some California high-speed rail records confidential passed the Assembly on Monday afternoon, adding some fuel to the fire for some lawmakers who are already critical of the $126.2 billion project. Assembly Bill 1608 authorizes the high-speed rail’s inspector general to keep some reports out of the public eye. The bill would also allow the inspector general to keep parts of certain reports secret if the report reveals weaknesses that put the high-speed rail project at risk. The bill passed 45 to 18 and now heads to the Senate.

The suspected hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship, which has killed three people and sickened at least seven others, has two likely causes — and both are bad news for the 150 passengers on board, experts said. The more likely scenario would be passengers contracting the virus from the feces, urine or saliva of infected rats or mice. That’s the usual transmission vector, according to physician Zaid Fadul, a former Air Force flight surgeon — although the World Health Organization insisted Tuesday that no rodents have been found on the stranded liner. But there’s one strain of the hantavirus that has an alarming exception —

Maryland governor Wes Moore’s (D.) military service record has once again come under scrutiny, with a coalition of local news outlets reporting a slew of gaps and discrepancies in his file that suggest the presidential hopeful treated his 17 years in the military as little more than a ticket-punch for his political career. The scrutiny—from a coalition of local news outlets called Spotlight on Maryland—once again stems from claims Moore made in the application he submitted to serve as a White House fellow in 2006, a position that served as the launchpad for his political career. Moore has already faced considerable scrutiny for falsely
