The US stopped every takeoff, a third time

For the third time this century the United States stopped every takeoff. On Friday a communications failure in air traffic control froze departures for about four hours, and at least six flights to the US waited at Las Américas in Santo Domingo.

The first halt followed 11 September 2001; another came with the pilot-notice failure of January 2023. What failed exactly is not yet known.

Not yet reported. The outlets have not said what exactly failed, or how many travellers in the Dominican Republic were stranded.

Tanker hits a river cruise in New Orleans

An asphalt tanker hit the American Heritage, a river cruise ship tied up on the Mississippi in front of the port of New Orleans, on Friday. About 129 passengers were on board.

The ship tilted onto one side, at least 12 people were taken to hospital, and the mayor, Helena Moreno, said everyone was rescued. Why the tanker struck it is not yet known.

Not yet reported. The outlets have not said why the tanker hit the cruise ship, or how badly anyone was hurt.
