The pilots flying the American Airlines Flight 5342 that collided mid-air with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter on January 29, made a heroic attempt to save everyone on board, new data shows.

The jet carried 64 passengers, and the helicopter was carrying three soldiers who retraining the president’s emergency evacuation route, which is a part of a contingency plan for the continuity of government.

At the time of the accident, the plane was approaching Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in an attempt to land.

Unfortunately, there are no survivors.

Rescue teams have not recovered all of the bodies up to this point.

Data from the plane’s black box revealed that the pilots, 34-year-old Campos, and his 28-year-old co-pilot Lilley, made a desperate final attempt to pull the plane up seconds before the crash.

“At one point very close to the impact, there was a slight change in pitch, an increase in pitch,” Todd Inman, an official of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), said during a press conference on February 1.

Further, Inman said that they don’t have the data from the helicopter, but “obviously an impact occurred, and I would say when an impact occurs, that is typically where the altitude of both aircraft were at the moment.”

Preliminary data from the plane’s black box showed conflicting readings about the altitudes of both aircraft.

When hit over the Potomac River, the American Airlines plane was flying at an altitude of 325 feet, with a 25ft margin of error on either side. 

On the other hand, data provided by the control tower showed that the Black Hawk was flying at an altitude of about 200ft, which is he maximum of what a helicopter can safely operate at in the area.

Hopefully, they would be able to reconcile the differences in the altitude once they get to the data of the helicopter’s black box which was retrieved but waterlogged.

I Never Expected Such a Harsh Outcome

I was completely floored when I first read about this Man who burned his thumb loses both legs story. Seriously—how does a minor cooking mishap spiral into something so devastating? Max Armstrong, 40, was just out in the woods of Kiowa, Colorado, enjoying a camping trip. Next thing he knew, a week later, he woke up from a coma with no legs.

A Simple Burn Becomes a Major Crisis

Max said it all started when he grabbed a hot skillet the wrong way while making pasta. He felt the searing pain but shrugged it off—just another scrape or burn from an active, outdoor life. He treated the burn, then went back to camping. A few days later, though, one leg began swelling. He brushed that off too, thinking maybe he’d twisted an ankle at some point. Turns out, the infection creeping through his thumb was way more serious than he imagined.

Shocking Discoveries at the Hospital

By December 7, his toenails turned purple, and the swelling got much worse. At the hospital, doctors were stunned to see the blackened burn on his thumb—it had become severely infected with strep. Before anyone fully realized what was going on, it led to strep sepsis. Max ended up in a coma for six days. When he finally woke on December 13, doctors told his loved ones he might not make it. It was a near-fatal ordeal.

Man Who Burned His Thumb Loses Both Legs in Surgery

The moment Max realized both of his feet had turned completely black was heartbreaking. He learned they had to amputate both legs on December 23 to save his life, because the infection had already spread too far. He spent a month in the hospital, then another 16 days in rehab. Now, he’s leaning on a wheelchair and focusing on exercises that build arm and shoulder strength—he calls them his “lifeline.” Unfortunately, this man who burned his thumb loses both legs in such a bizarre, tragic twist of fate.

On the Road to Recovery

Max says the emotional toll is just as intense as the physical one. He woke up expecting his legs to be there, only to realize they were gone. Yet, he’s determined to bounce back. Friends and family have rallied behind him, even setting up a GoFundMe to help with medical costs. It’s a stark reminder that life can change in an instant—even when you think you’re dealing with a minor injury.

I’m Still Reeling From This New Hollywood Bombshell

By

I honestly did a double take when I saw the headline: Musk Shocks Hollywood by dropping alleged evidence tying Sean “Diddy” Combs to some of the biggest movers and shakers in entertainment. It’s not every day you see such bold claims—especially from a tech mogul more known for rockets than red carpets. But here we are, sifting through a whirlwind of leaked photos and whispered rumors that might just reveal how deep Diddy’s connections really go.

Surprising Snapshots and Silent Celebs

Source: Wikipedia

What really threw me were these so-called “leaked” pictures making the rounds online. Apparently, they show Diddy hanging out in private settings with A-list stars. Some folks say it’s nothing unusual—celebrities mingle, end of story. But the chatter around these snapshots suggests something more. Could there be hush-hush partnerships or behind-the-scenes alliances that no one wanted us to see? You can bet fans are dissecting every pixel. So far, many of the celebs rumored to appear haven’t said a peep, which only stirs the pot. No wonder Musk Shocks Hollywood in such a big way.

The Curiosity Behind Musk’s Move

Source: Wikipedia

Of course, there’s also the question of why Elon Musk decided to pull back the curtain on this scene. He’s known for stirring up drama—sometimes in business, sometimes in politics. Now he’s shining a spotlight on star-studded secrets? Maybe he’s just intrigued by the “hidden layers” of fame. Or he could be testing the boundaries of what fans and insiders will tolerate. Whatever the reason, one thing’s certain: Musk Shocks Hollywood at a time when many people thought they’d seen it all.

Tinseltown’s Next Chapter

Personally, I’m bracing myself for more fallout. If these leaks spark real tension among the elite, we could see some unexpected alliances crumble—or brand-new feuds ignite. Social media is on fire with theories and finger-pointing, and it’s only been a few days since the story first broke. Will Diddy break his silence? Will other stars be forced to come clean about their ties? All I know is that Musk Shocks Hollywood might become the headline for weeks to come, and I’m totally here for it.

The black box and flight recorder from the crashed DC helicopter and plane provide crucial altitude data that may help explain the incident

The crash between the American Airlines plane and the US Army Black Hawk helicopter is one of the deadliest US air collisions in recent years. Sadly, all of the people onboard the jet and the helicopter presumed dead.

The jet carried 64 people while the Black Hawk had three members of the military onboard at the time of the tragedy.

Daily Mail reports that the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that flight data recorder and black box from the DC aircraft crash contain altitude readings that could shed light on the cause of the accident.

The American Airlines Flight 5342 was cruising at about 325ft, with a 25ft margin of error on either side. Data from the control tower showed that the Black Hawk was flying at an altitude of about 200ft.

Experts have yet to explain the approximate 100-foot difference in altitude readings. However, if the crash happened at the altitude the plane was reported to be at, the collision happened at an altitude above the maximum of what a helicopter can safely operate at in the area.

At the time being, investigators are trying to retrieve data from the helicopter’s black box, which became waterlogged after submerging into icy waters of the Potomac River.

Hopefully, they would be able to reconcile the differences in the altitude.

Speaking of the ongoing investigation, Brice Banning, NTSB investigator in charge, said, “This is a complex investigation. There are a lot of pieces here. Our team is working hard to gather this data.”

Further, he added the jet’s black boxes revealed the crew having a verbal reaction. As the plane started to increase its pitch, “sounds of impact were audible about one second later, followed by the end of the recording,” Banning added.

President Trump gave his insight into the collision. He said that the helicopter was flying “too high,” and “far above its 200 foot limit.” He added: “That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???”

He said the young passenger bravely battled an illness.

Officials released the identities of the mother and daughter killed in the crash. They were identified as Lizeth Murillo Ozuna, age 31, and Valentina Guzman Murillo, age 11.

The rest of the people who lost their lives were identified as Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo, paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla, copilot Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, and captain Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales.

“It’s extremely hard and extremely difficult, those that were involved directly in her care were very aware that she was going to be traveling home and there had actually been a sendoff for her today,” the hospital where Valentina was receiving treatment said in a statement.

All of the victims were residents of Mexico.

Unfortunately, when the jet crashed, it formed a huge fireball that engulfed several houses and vehicles, claiming the life of a person driving a car at the time of the accident. Their name, however, has not yet been revealed.

High school student wins science fair by demonstrating how a long-forgotten Native American recipe can kill cancer cells in-vitro

By
Monica Pop

Destany “Sky” Pete, a high school student, won the 2017 Elko County Science Fair in Nevada after she re-discovered that a long-used traditional dish containing a specific plant known as chokecherry possesses cancer-killing properties.

After having a conversation with one of the elders of her tribe, Pete, a Native American and a member of the Shoshone and Paiute Tribes from the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Idaho and Nevada, came to the conclusion that the tribe’s health issues were a result of the reduced consumption of traditional foods, specifically toishabui or chokecherry pudding.

The bright student researched the medical properties of the chokecherry, a plant still planted and harvested by the members of her community.

Once she showed interest in researching the medical properties of the plant, Pete got in touch with Dr. Ken Cornell, a biochemistry professor at Boise State University specializing in cancer cell research, through one of her high school teachers.

They tested four types of chokecherry specimens on uterine sarcoma cancer cells and allowed a 24-hour incubation period. The specimens included: Traditional chokecherry pudding with crushed seeds, chokecherry pudding without seeds, chokecherry juice alone, and chokecherry extract.

The results showed that only the traditionally prepared pudding with crushed seeds exhibited cancer-inhibiting properties.

“The traditional (Shoshone and Paiute) method of preparing chokecherry pudding includes the seed of the chokecherry, crushed up,” said Pete. “Nowadays, some people just kind of juice the berry and take out the seed completely. But maybe the seed has medicine that can help us to stay well.”

The study was conducted in-vitro, or in test tubes, meaning its implications are limited. However, it is considered a breakthrough in the fight against cancer.

Speaking of her accomplishment, Pete said she’s proud to be representing her Native American heritage, adding that science and culture often go hand by hand.

Chokeberries, also known as arena berries, are small red berries native to North America that have anti-inflammatory properties. These berries are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K.

Trump signs controversial order addressing political prosecutions

By
Monica Pop
-

Donald Trump, who was sworn in as the president of the United States of America for the second time, has signed a plethora of executive orders. , However, many of them caused a stir among the public.

Among the rest, he pardoned nearly dozen pro-life activists who were convicted for violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “Conspiracy Against Rights.”

He did not reveal the names, but referred to them as to “peaceful protesters.”

“Twenty-three people were prosecuted who should not have been prosecuted. Many of them are elderly people. They should not have been prosecuted,” the president said. “This is a great honor to sign this.”

Issuing pardons to these pro-life activists was a promise Trump made during the presidential campaign.

As per the Thomas More Society, the pardons were signed on the day before the March for Life to be held in Washington, D.C.

In the letter in which they asked for the pardons, they referred to their clients as to victims of the “weaponization of the Justice Department by the Biden Administration.” 

“While Biden’s prosecutors almost entirely ignored the firebombing and vandalism of hundreds of pro-life churches and pregnancy centers, they viciously pursued pro-life Americans,” the lawyers wrote.

In a statement, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America said,”We thank President Trump for immediately delivering on his promise to free pro-life protesters who [were] targeted and imprisoned by [President Joe] Biden’s Department of Justice. Pro-life moms, grandmothers and even Eva Edl, a Communist prison camp survivor, were thrown in jail for peacefully protesting abortion.”

The statement continued: “As if that were not enough, aggressive sentences were handed down, like five years for Lauren Handy who sought to expose evidence of late-term and potentially illegal abortions in the nation’s capital.”

While those in support of Trump’s decision to issue the pardons praised his decision, critics saw it as a controversial use of presidential power.

Lip reader reveals what Kanye West told Bianca Censori before she removed her fur coat

Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori made waves at the Gremmys after she removed her fur coat and revealed almost everything. Her dress was see-through to the extent that her photos needed to be censored.

Before Censori exposed her nearly naked body, she and Kanye were spotted speaking.

Now, a lip reader revealed what they said to one another.

In a since deleted Instagram post about the dress that caused a stir among the public and on the social media. He wrote it was a “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful ever.”

“My love, my best friend and my wife,” he wrote of Censori.

Kanye and Censori, who tied the knot in 2022, made a grand entrance. They arrived in two all-chrome Mercedes-Maybachs, each valued at $450,000.

Lip reader Nicola Hickling shared with The Mirror that Kanye asked from his wife to take off her coat and reveal all.

“You’re making a scene now,” he allegedly whispered to her. “Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.” Censori nodded her head in agreement. “Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you,” he further said as per Hickling.

Censori responded, “All right let’s go.”

According to reports, the couple were removed from the event over the dress.

Since the 30-year-old Australian model had publicly exposed herself in such a manner before, many accuse Kanye of forcing her into this behavior and call him abusive.

“This is abusive male behavior. Kanye West has a territorial arm around a woman he is displaying naked to humiliate. Don’t tell me she wants this,” some one wrote on X.

“She legit did not look like she felt comfortable at all and didn’t want to open her jacket!” another person added.

A third described her actions, “The shaking of her head, the pulling the coat tighter as she says no… I swear to God, is she safe?”

Back in 2023, onlookers spotted the couple in a compromising position in a boat in Venice, with the rapper exposing his buttocks and Censori positioning her head between his legs. Once the images emerged online, the boat company banned them for life.

Censori’s revealing dress may trigger legal consequences under California law.

According to Penal Code 314(1), indecent exposure occurs when someone “exposes his or her naked body or genitals in front of anyone who could be annoyed or offended by it” in a “willful and lewd” manner.

If charged and found guilty, Censori may face up to six months in county jail or a $1,000 fine in case she’s a first time offender.
