    Continuing our ongoing coverage of Boeing's "flying junkyards," the investigation into the blowout of a door plug on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 over Portland last month is still ongoing. FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker said yesterday that the investigation will take six weeks to complete in full and the company is roughly halfway through the process. But Boeing is already releasing some of their preliminary findings, including photographs of some of the inspections being done. One of these photos has led investigators to confirm earlier suspicions that four main bolts used to fasten the door plug in place were not even...

    Wanted: One plane door. If found, please contact the National Transportation Safety Board immediately. That was the message the feds put out Sunday when they asked for the public’s help finding a “plug door” that blew off an Alaska Airlines plane mid-flight Friday night, leaving a mammoth hole in the fuselage that threatened nearly 200 passengers. “We believe, from looking at radar data, that the door is around Barnes Road near I-217 in the Cedar Hills neighborhood,” NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy said, referencing a region about seven miles west of Portland, Oregon. “If you find that, please, please contact local...

  • China’s Sub Glides Into Its Own Trap: Intelligence reports that on August 21, there was an onboard accident whilst carrying out a mission resulting in 55 deaths

    Anytime anything occurs with China’s military, it is shrouded in mystery. Denial, lies, deceit, and misdirection are the CCP’s standard operating procedure, especially if it’s an accident that would point to them being at fault. If you have ever watched the movie “Red October,” there are eerie similarities between that and this story. No, there doesn’t appear to be a defection, as in the movie, but the fact that a submarine is involved as well as the typical deception by Chinese officials draws parallels to that storyline. During the past week, reports began to surface that a Chinese nuclear submarine...

    A man's five minutes of fame at a Florida golf course where he hit a hole-in-one and had his picture taken is what allegedly helped officers arrest and charge him in connection with a deadly assault that took place in the course's parking lot.

    The saga of the Fremantle Highway, a special purpose auto carrier ship that has been on fire off of Holland for almost a week, killing at least one crew member, now raises even deeper suspicions about the role of lithium ion batteries, used in electric cars, as a source and aggravating factor in the blaze. In a report published here on AT 5 days ago, we cited reporting from CBS News that as many as 25 electric vehicles may have been among the more than 3000 cars being transported from Germany to Egypt. Now comes news that 20 times more...
