UPS plane in deadly crash had engine-mount “fatigue cracks,” report finds. A preliminary report by federal investigators into the UPS cargo jet crash that killed 14 people in Kentucky this month found evidence of “fatigue cracks” in the plane’s mount that connected its left engine to the wing. The aircraft, which was fully loaded with fuel for a flight to Hawaii, crashed seconds after takeoff, according to video footage. Its engine was on fire and detached before the plane hit the ground. Per the Wall Street Journal, investigators stopped short of blaming the crash on the fatigue cracks and aren’t expected to release a conclusion until a year after the incident. The plane’s engine mount was last inspected in 2021.
Trump says Democratic lawmakers’ video is “punishable by death.” President Trump posted on Truth Social yesterday that the Democratic politicians featured in a video telling military personnel that they can refuse illegal orders are engaged in “seditious behavior” and called them “traitors,” suggesting they should be arrested. He also reposted comments from Truth Social users saying that the Democrats should be “hanged.” The 90-second clip includes six Democratic members of the House and Senate—most of whom are military veterans—calling on US troops to disobey orders that violate the law. The video was likely a response to Trump ordering military personnel into US cities and launching strikes on alleged drug boats near Venezuela.
Netflix would reportedly break its biggest rule to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. According to a Bloomberg report, Netflix is willing to distribute WBD’s movies in theaters if it successfully buys the entertainment giant. Netflix has long resisted putting its films in theaters, preferring to release them directly on its streaming service (though it has made exceptions for certain movies to qualify for awards consideration). The move would make Netflix’s bid to purchase WBD “more palatable,” per Bloomberg. WBD put itself up for sale last month, drawing interest from Paramount Skydance and Comcast, in addition to Netflix. Comcast and Netflix are reportedly only interested in acquiring WBD’s studio and streaming businesses, while Paramount would likely want the whole enterprise.—AE
