Multiple people injured as plane crashes in suburban Pennsylvania

Emergency services responded to a call and rushed to Manheim Township in Lancaster County, in suburban Pennsylvania, after a small plane crashed into a parking lot, leaving multiple people injured.

As per the Daily Mail, after hitting the lined cars, the plane erupted in flames. The vehicles at the parking lot also burst into flames, between Fairview Drive and Meadowview Court.

The plane, believed to be a Beechcraft A36TC model as seen from the footage and photos of the wreckage, took off on Sunday afternoon as scheduled but requested to land due to an open door.

Audio from the air traffic control showed the pilot asking the ground agents to turn around, and at one point, he noted that the strong wind coming from the open hatch made the radio inaudible.

“Pull up… the aircraft is down just behind the terminal in the parking lot tree area,” the air traffic controller replied.

According to AP, a total of five people were on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania state governor Governor Josh Shapiro said on X: “PA State Police is on the ground assisting local first responders following the small private plane crash near Lancaster Airport in Manheim Township.

“All Commonwealth resources are available as the response continues, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.”

According to reports, multiple people suffered burns.

The Pennsylvania plane accident is another one in the series of airplane crashes that happened during the last several months.

In January – in what was dubbed the deadliest plane crash on recent years – 67 people lost their lives after an American Airlines aircraft collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter.

Shortly after, a medical jet carrying a family, including a young girl receiving a life-saving treatment – crashed on its way to Mexico from the USA, leading to the death of all six people aboard the plane.

Gas company releases statement following extensive investigation at the home of Gene Hackman

The deaths of two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and their family dog remain a mystery. The investigation regarding their passing revealed that the couple and their pet had been dead for some time before they were found.

They initially believed that the cause of death was due to gas leak and possible poisoning with carbon monoxide.

As of now, it was reported that the New Mexico Gas Company concluded its inspection at the home where Gene Hackman and Arakawa resided located at 1425 Old Sunset Trail. The company said in a statement that they had done thorough inspection of the residence for both gas leak and any presence of carbon monoxide and shared their findings with the authorities on March 5.

Inspectors didn’t detect life-threatening hazards but they did mark several red tags. One involved a small gas leak from a stove burner, with gas levels measuring 0.33 percent in the air – amount considered non-lethal by industry standards. The rest of the concerns were related to regulatory issues with the water heater and gas log lighters in the fireplaces.

Following the report, authorities said neither of these issues could be the reason that led to Hackman-Arakawa’s deaths. 

Social media users were quick to share their thoughts on the findings of the Gas Company that inspected the home of Gene Hackman. 

“A tiny leak is enough to kill,” someone wrote. “A minuscule leak is still a leak discharging poisonous deadly gas. And continuously will fill the entire house 😱,” another added.

The New York Post shared on Friday that prior to his passing, Hackman “was in very poor health,” citing New Mexico Chief Medical Examiner Heather Jarrell.

According to Jarell, the Hollywood icon died of hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s roughly a week after his wife’s passing. 

“Examination of the brain showed advanced Alzheimer’s disease as well as blood vessel changes in the brain,” Jarrell said during the press conference, as per New York Post

“It is reasonable to conclude that Mr. Hackman died on February 18,” she continued, based on evidence of a “cardiac event” recorded by his pacemaker.

Further, the medical examiner explained the autopsy and full body post-mortem CT examination showed the actor had “severe heart disease,” and a history of heart disease. Also, the autopsy revealed Hackman had severe changes of the kidneys due to chronic high blood pressure,” and had undergone “multiple surgical procedures involving the heart.”

Regarding Betsy Arakawa, Page Six reported she died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), a rare rodent-transmitted virus. The cause of death was natural.

Knowing his mental state, it was possible Hackman wasn’t aware his wife was dead.

What parents need to know about ‘Bigorexia’

Many times, societies set expectations about what being beautiful is, leading to many question their physical appearance and feeling the urge to change it in order to conform to the norms.

However, while body image has been associated with women only in the past, nowadays it affects males as much.

Bigorexia, or muscular dysmorphia, affects hundreds of thousands of men out there.

It is a disorder that shares similarities with anorexia in terms of being obsessed with the body image. However, while a person suffering from anorexia tries to keep their weight as low as possible, those diagnosed with bigorexia are obsessed with becoming muscular, convincing themselves they are never brawny enough.

However, “Unlike anorexia nervosa, which may be easily identified by parents or pediatricians, disordered eating to increase bulk may masquerade as healthy habits and because of this, it tends to go unnoticed,” says Jason Nagata, MD, of the UCSF Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine.

Experts believe that this disorder is partially a result of the influence of social media influencers who try to portray themselves as embodying an unrealistic, hyper-masculine ideal. This lead many people, especially men, to feel dissatisfied with their bodies and seek the perfection they see in the magazines and on social media sites.

Kara Becker, a certified eating disorder therapist and national director of eating disorder programs at Newport Healthcare, defines bigorexia as “a psychological condition and type of body dysmorphic disorder which involves a distorted self-image that focuses specifically on muscle size and physical appearance.”

Clinical psychologist Amy Gooding explains that “individuals may have an inaccurate view of their bodies, often believing they are smaller or less muscular. This belief and subsequent preoccupation can lead to unhealthy behaviors, including obsessive exercise, and may lead to changing one’s eating to be as lean as possible.”

The term muscular dysmorphia was first coined around 1997.

However, experts agree that further research needs to be done in order to learn how bigorexia develops and how it should be treated.

While some experts believe it should be treated as an eating disorder, just like the anorexia, others say it is in fact a behavioral addiction or a type of body dysmorphic disorder.

Certain factors that can lead to this disorder are history of being bu****d, loneliness, unhealthy views about masculinity, low self-esteem, and the above mentioned influence of the social media.

Lip reader says JD Vance made threat before Trump congress speech

Trumps speech to Congress continues to spark a worldwide debate days after it took place. But it wasn’t just the president who made headlines but Vice-President JD Vance too.

While he remained quiet during the majority of Trump’s 90-minutes-long speech, clapping as the president spoke of the achievements of his administration since he took office, Vance exchanged a few words with House Speaker Mike Johnson, and according to a lip-reader, he made a chilling threat.

Namely, as a number of clips from Trump’s speech appeared on the social media, lip-reader Jeremy Freeman tried to reveal what Vance actually said.

Getty Images

“Yes it is, a full reckoning, and long overdue,” Freeman claims the vice-president said, before allegedly joking about the length of Trump’s speech: “By the way, I think the speech is going to be great. But I don’t know how you do this for 90 minutes.”

Johnson’s reply could be heard on a hot mic. “The hardest thing was doing it during Biden, when his speech was a stupid campaign speech.”

Before saying more, Johnson moved the mic away.

The question raised is what exactly Vance referred to when he said “full reconning?”

“What’s the reckoning JD? What are you vultures planning? You’ve hijacked our country & it’s money what are you going to do now? send us to camps?” someone posted on X.

“I’ve seen Vance’s type before. The weedy kid who hangs around the bully, but soils himself when the bully isn’t around and is confronted alone. Runs his mouth, but backpedals when he realizes he’s about to get a punch in the face. I detest bullies, and those who enable them,” shared another.

“Trump is a dupe – Vance is the threat,” a third added.

Vance’s words come after the Oval Office meeting with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which the media dubbed a complete debacle.

Vance also drew criticism this week when he referred to France and Britain as to “random countries.”

Trump stuns democrats with a bold move – Checkmate

President Donald Trump addressed the Congress on March 4th for the first time since taking office and the speech he delivered became a hot topic, making headlines not only in the States but worldwide.

Among the rest, he delivered a message to the people of Greenland, saying, “If you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America.

“We need Greenland for national security and even international security.

“And we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it. But we need it really for international world security.”

Further, in his speech to the Congress, Trump blamed Biden’s administration for spending $8 million on making mice transgender, something comedian and host Jimmy Kimmel mocked him about on his show.

President Trump bragged of his administration’s accomplishments so far, and while the Republicans praised his speech, the Democrats showed their discontent with the government’s work.

Taking to the social media, many of them sparked debates about constitutional crisis, claiming he’s undermining democracy.

The deep divisions in American politics are now more obvious than ever.

Addressing the Republican Governors Association, Trump said, “I think the midterms are going to be a big, big surprise.

“You go back to the last I think eight elections in a row, the midterms haven’t been great for the person that wins the presidency. And I think so far, we’re very popular.”

He expressed his confidence that his party would dominate the 2026 elections, maintaining full control of the federal government, as per the Daily Mail.

“The red states are going to do good, and the blue states, I don’t know, maybe they’ll totally disappear off that map,” Trump said.

According to the Independent, the House Democrats are looking for a way to “productively” disrupt President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress. Citing Axios, they reported a democrat to have said, “The part that we all agree on is that this is not business as usual and we would like to find a way — productively — to express our outrage.

“There are definitely a lot of constituents that really want Democrats to disrupt and there are… constituents who feel like that just plays into his hands,” a House Democrat told the outlet.

My wife left me and the kids for a rich man — 2 years later, she begged for another chance

My wife left me and the kids, and her decision not only brought devastation and anger but also left me facing a million questions from my girls and my entire family—questions I didn’t have the answers to.

What I believed to be a beautiful marriage of ten years ended as though it had never existed.

During the last couple of months of my union with Melissa, she became distant and spent more time on her phone and on the social media than around the girls.

It felt like something switched in her. She was no longer her old self.

And then, out of the blue, she told me she wanted out of the marriage.

“Melissa, it’s not just about you and I, we have two daughters together,” I tried to convince her to change her minds.

In the days to come, my pleas turned into begging, but she wouldn’t listen.

“What is wrong, Melissa, we can work together on whatever makes you feel this way,” I said, but she seemed determined to leave.

Midjourney

We weren’t extremely wealthy, but we did have nannies for the girls growing up and could afford to go on family vacations twice a year, but it seemed like my wife wanted more.

“I’ve found myself,” she said. “I want something different.” She then packed her bags and left.

Heartbroken, I found myself struggling between work, the house, and taking care of my girls. On top of everything, my entire family wanted to know why my marriage burst like a bubble, and I didn’t know the answer.

The girls kept asking when mommy was coming home, and those questions shattered my world.

The worst of all was that I was diagnosed with cancer, but my wife left before I even had the chance to share my diagnosis with her.

A few weeks later, I finally learned the true reason behind Melissa’s decision. She was with another man, her financial consultant.

As I scrolled through his Instagram, I saw photos of them at expensive 5-star restaurants, and their travels to Paris.

My wife left me and the kids so that she could have fun while her daughters left empty spaces on their crayon drawings hoping she would come back.

It was excruciating, especially for Sophie and Emily who longed for their mom.

But over time, we managed to cope with the reality of Melissa’s absence. My days consisted of struggling to balance my commitments and the long and tiring chemo sessions. My biggest concern was that my girls could lose their father.

The following year was a real hell. Chemo was excruciating, leaving me vomiting and barely standing on my legs. I lost my hair and a significant amount of weight. But I refused to give up.

After all those struggles, twelve rounds of chemo and a number of radiotherapies, I was finally cancer-free.

And then, two years after my wife abandoned us, I met her at a gas station and the meeting almost felt like poetic justice. Seeing her after that much time felt surreal. I couldn’t believe my eyes. “Melissa, is that you?” I asked as soon as I got out of my car.

She looked older and fragile, as though her entire world collapsed.

Melissa tried to avoid me at first, but she then asked to talk to me at the nearest park.

The woman who felt confident and wanted more from her life than being around her husband and her children was now crushed. She regretted her decision of ever leaving and begged to reconnect with her daughters.

“No, Melissa,” I said firmly. “They spent a long time feeling miserable because their mother had left them. But now they finally moved on an are thriving.”

Her new man, Marco, turned out to be a fraud who left her penniless.

At one point, I even felt sorry for my wife who left me and the kids and her poor choices, but I didn’t let her tears change my decision of not taking her back.

Both me and my kids deserved better.
