Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:04:03 GMT

Update: September 15, 2023, 2:33 p.m. ETThis article was updated to include information about a Twitter policy to temporarily remove checkmarks from verified accounts that change their profile pictures.

A United jet dropped 28,000 feet in eight minutes after pilots feared a loss of cabin pressure

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:04:03 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — A United Airlines jet headed to Rome turned around less than an hour into the flight and descended rapidly after what the airline termed an indication of possible loss of cabin pressure.The plane returned to Newark, New Jersey, and landed safely early Thursday morning, the airline said.United said there was no loss of pressure and passengers’ oxygen masks did not drop, but the pilots could not be certain.Data from tracking service FlightAware showed that the Boeing 777 descended from 37,000 feet to less than 9,000 feet in eight minutes.Pilots are trained to respond to a loss of cabin pressure by descending to an altitude that is low enough for people on board to breathe without oxygen masks.The shortened flight had 270 passengers and 14 crew members, according to the airline.United said it found another plane, which left Newark around 3:30 a.m. and reached Rome after 5 p.m. local time, about six hours later than the originally scheduled arrival time.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:04:03 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Sean Payton’s blueprints for a rebuild by the Denver Broncos and a rebound by Russell Wilson this year began with a $139 million offensive line commitment in free agency to land guard Ben Powers and right tackle Mike McGlinchey.The return of left tackle Garett Bolles from a broken leg that sidelined him most of last season and the continued growth of center Lloyd Cushenberry III and guard Quinn Meinerz are also crucial for Denver to snap out of its persistent spiral.Those upgrades face a stiff test Sunday when the Broncos (0-1) host the Washington Commanders (1-0), whose stout defensive line features arguably the top tackle tandem in the NFL in Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne, along with edge rushers Montez Sweat and Chase Young.“I want us to be the most dominant group on the field — like every game,” Payne said during training camp. “We’ve got the capability to do that. … We’ve got all the pieces we need to just take over games, dominate and jus...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:04:03 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The Washington Mystics can spend a few nights at home between games of their WNBA playoff series with the New York Liberty because of the expanded time between postseason games this season.Washington plays New York on Friday night in the opener of their best-of-three series. Game 2 isn’t until Tuesday night, so the Mystics will bus home after the opener and won’t return to New York until Monday. “It was a lot of nights to be here trapped in a hotel when you can get to go home and have a couple nights at home,” Mystics coach Eric Thibault said after shootaround Friday. “That was just the thought behind it. We have people that like being in their own beds. Myself included.”The Mystics are the only playoff team in the first round that could easily head home between contests. Chicago plays in Las Vegas, Minnesota at Connecticut and Atlanta at Dallas. The three road teams would have to fly back and forth.“It’s a lot of days to be here. We can get h...
