Heartstopping audio footage captured the moment an Alaska Airlines pilot radioed for help after a window on her new Boeing 737 Max plane blew out shortly after take off.
‘Portland approach, Alaska 1282 emergency! Aircraft is now leveling 12,000 in a left turn heading three four zero,’ the unidentified woman could be heard saying after Friday evening’s drama over the skies of Portland in Oregon.
‘We need a divert. We’ve declared an emergency. We are depressurized. We have 177 passengers on board and a seal is…18,900’ the pilot can be heard explaining.
I found the @liveatc recording of #ASA1282 declaring an emergency with Seattle Center around 5:12pm PT. Aircraft would have been ~12,000 ft and climbing. “Uhhhh we’d like to get down.” pic.twitter.com/P8xxJ5nsbj

Some time during the evening of March 1, 1932, 20-month-old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr was kidnapped.
The toddler was snatched from his cot in his nursery on the second floor of the family home in rural New Jersey while his father was downstairs.
A broken ladder was found nearby, along with footprints, tyre tracks and, on the windowsill, a handwritten ransom note which read: ‘BABY SAFE. INSTRUCTIONS LATER. ACT ACCORDINGLY.’

Friday’s return home from his Christmas vacation in Jamaica didn’t go smoothly for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: The CC-144 Challenger business jet that took him there on Boxing Day broke down, requiring the RCAF to dispatch a rescue plane to get the relatively new aircraft back in the sky.
It was the second time in nearly four months that a breakdown prompted the Royal Canadian Air Force to dispatch rescue aircraft to bring home Canada’s prime minister from an overseas visit.
Make him take a bus next time.

Trans activist wishes death on transphobes. “I want to stab all of you to death as many times as I can. I want to stab you in the throat and twist it like I’m carving a pumpkin. I want to shred you into tiny pieces.” Trans extremism is real. #Transtifa pic.twitter.com/iDFiTi9voL

The German Federal Prosecutor’s Office is investigating “suspicions of unconstitutional sabotage” after holes were discovered drilled into a new gas delivery pipe installed to overcome the country’s dependence on imported Russian hydrocarbons.

A woman has launched a petition against running groups in Toronto following two experiences that left her injured — and angry.
A Toronto TikToker named Zulf, whose handle is @zulllfff, shared her complaints after an alleged literal run-in with members of the Toronto Running Club resulted in a shoulder injury.
Sounds very Toronto.

Job growth stalled in December as the total number of jobs in Canada was virtually unchanged for the month and the unemployment rate held steady at 5.8 per cent for the final month of the year.
Statistics Canada said Friday in its monthly labour force survey that the economy added a total of 100 jobs in the final month of 2023.
I bet they were civil service jobs too.

For Jews throughout the world, Oct. 7 is a demarcation in our collective calendar. It marks a day of pure evil.
… She assured me repeatedly that the call was being made out of concern for my safety. But what about our collective safety as Jews, I asked her, in the wake of repeated and ugly encounters with the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel crowds whose hatred of Israel was well beyond that particular border, and was increasingly being activated against local Jewish businesses and individuals?
The constable asked me for my plan. When I said I planned to walk back and forth across a crosswalk to delay this cavalcade, I was told that it is illegal to block roadways.
When I pointed out that over the past months Victoria roadways were blocked on a weekly basis, she replied, “We can’t arrest 500 people.”
She’s had her moment of clarity.
The police will not protect you if you attend a counter protest. You will be treated as a public nuisance and told to move along for your own safety.

Toronto – Was this on NYE?
A “masturbation notice” in a washroom at the University of Toronto has many people questioning its authenticity.

“Misinformation” about McDonald’s support for Israel is having a “meaningful impact” on its sales in the Middle East, the fast food restaurant’s chief executive has said.
Chris Kempczinski said calls from pro-Palestinan groups to boycott McDonald’s over the Gaza conflict were harming operations.
McDonald’s has been targeted by pro-Palestinan campaigners after photos and videos on social media showed franchised stores in Israel giving free meals to the nation’s soldiers following the October 7 Hamas attack.

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) may draft a “code of conduct” for newsrooms as part of the Online News Act, cabinet said in a legal notice.
The Department of Canadian Heritage said newsrooms are subject to CRTC guidance on ethics under the Online News Act, which took effect Dec. 19. It will take several months to fully come into force.
“The CRTC may regulate the following areas: Creation of a code of conduct (and) a complaint process pertaining to how groups of eligible news businesses are to be structured and their conduct under the Act,“ the department wrote in a ”Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement,” which was first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.

The Toronto Police Service says it has begun disabling comments on its main X accounts because of “an increasing amount of potentially hateful and inappropriate commentary.”
A spokesperson for the Service told Global News in an email that the decision was made on Nov. 30 to “disable comments on our corporate X account.”
Just another way to be unaccountable.
