Tumbleweed invasion traps cars and truck on US highway – video https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2020/jan/02/tumbleweed-invasion-traps-cars-and-truck-on-us-highway-video Drivers in Washington state were forced to see in the new year while trapped under a 15ft-high (4.5m) sea of tumbleweeds. Police closed state route 240 near Richland at around 6.30pm on New Year's Eve after the desiccated but mobile plants buried a number of vehicles in their path. It took snow ploughs 10 hours to clear the weeds |

Jet dumps fuel that lands on schoolkids near Los Angeles An airliner with engine trouble dumped jet fuel that fell as a smelly mist on dozens of schoolchildren while the plane made an emergency return to Los Angeles International Airport, officials said. Will have to wait for the FAA's investigation to find out why the fuel was 'dumped, at low altitude and over populated area instead of rural or remote area. |

Jet dumps fuel that lands on schoolkids near Los AngelesPilot mistake. What is far worse is the plane departed over the Pacific Ocean heading west. Pilot declared emergency and asked to return to land. I suspect it wasn't until he was over the Los Angeles Basin he realized he had to dump fuel. Of course good flight planning he would have known that before he even started down the runway. Pilot competency is not where it should be. |

Jet dumps fuel that lands on schoolkids near Los AngelesSometimes some emergencies are more urgent than others. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-01-15/radio-call-to-control-tower-raises-questions-about-why-jet-fuel-was-dumped-over-cudahy Radio calls between the pilot and ground. Pilot states compressor stall. Also states it is "under control" and "not critical." Ground asked twice if he needed to burn fuel or dump. Pilot answers no. Then he was vectored for an immediate return. |
