Airline travel is actually exceptionally safe compared to other forms of transportation such as driving your car, but it probably did not feel that way to passengers aboard a Southwest flight headed from Burbank, California to Las Vegas Friday. The plane came oh-so-close to disaster, and the pilot had to make a bold move to save the day:Two flight attendants were injured after a commercial Southwest Airlines jet suddenly dropped 475 feet to avoid a “midair collision” shortly after takeoff at a Los Angeles-area airport Friday, with one frightened passenger saying the aircraft “was just in a freefall.”Southwest Flight 1496...

VIDEOI was on my way to the store this afternoon to pick up beer and ice cream for my Picanha BBQ party tomorrow waiting for the light to change at the corner of Pine Island and Commercial in Broward County. Suddenly I spotted a car making a left turn knock a kid off his bike.

At this point I started recording the scene on my cell camera. Ultimately, although I wasn't sure...

The February 19-20 poll of 2,443 registered voters comes just weeks after President Donald Trump deliberately shut down Biden’s destructive, expensive, and deadly migration during his first few hours in the White House. Fifty-two percent of Americans and 80 percent of Republicans recognize Biden’s Democrats — led by pro-migration border chief Alejandro Mayorkas — deliberately encouraged the inflow of up to nine million southern migrants.

New York’s Suffolk County is putting the brakes on its red-light camera program after 14 years. It will be out of commission on Dec. 1. "I get too many tickets. Turning on red when it doesn't say no turn on red," says Ben Leibstein, of Babylon. Legislator Kevin McCaffrey says lawmakers did not renew the program beyond Dec. 1. "This program needs to be redesigned about safety, not revenue generation," says McCaffrey. As News 12 has reported, Suffolk County has about 100 red-light cameras. The tickets are about $115. The program has generated around $39 million each year for Suffolk...

In an unusual step, Monday's Cabinet meeting was held at the Genari building in the Government Campus in Jerusalem, which is considered to be secure, instead of the Prime Minister's Office or the Kirya Base in Tel Aviv where the meetings are commonly held. However, the secret location of the meeting was revealed in official notices by the Cabinet Secretariat, which later stated that "it was a mishap." The decision was made against the backdrop of the Israeli strike on Iran and the drone strike on Prime Minister Netanyahu's house in Caesarea. As mentioned, the Cabinet Secretariat accidentally revealed the...

U.S. — In one of the most remarkable miracles in human history, the thousands of bump stocks that went missing seven years ago in boating accidents all simultaneously washed ashore and have been reunited with their owners. "Wow, my bump stock washed ashore! And just a day after the Supreme Court ruling overturning the ban!" said local man Omar Gonzales. "What's even crazier, my neighbor Bill also lost his in a boating accident in 2017, and his bump stock also washed ashore this morning. It's a miracle!" Across the nation, tens of thousands of Americans reported similar shocking experiences. "It's...

A New York City couple got their hands on about $100,000 in cash from a safe they pulled up from a lake while 'magnet fishing' in Corona Park. To pull of this unique feat, James Kane and Barbie Agostini attached a neodymium magnet - which go for as little as $21.99 on Amazon - to a fishing rod and reeled the old safe out from the depths of the water. And at first, it was a mundane discovery because as Kane told NY1: 'We have found plenty of safes before, this is just what a magnet fisher does.' The couple...
