SAN CLEMENTE’S Bold Move: Stopping Illegal Immigration at its Shores

17 February 2025 — San Clemente is taking a stand against illegal immigration by teaming up with border authorities to watch its beaches. The city wants to stop illegal entries using small boats called pangas. City Manager Andy Hall is working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on this effort.

Mayor Steve Knoblock stressed the importance of adding surveillance cameras along the city’s 7-mile coastline. He believes these cameras will help deter illegal immigration and other crimes. “Recently, we’ve seen more pangas landing on our beach,” Knoblock shared with Fox News Digital.

Right now, San Clemente has cameras on its pier for marine safety but none watching ocean activity directly. The City Council decided to look into upgrading technology and turning existing cameras toward the water during a recent meeting, following warnings from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement about increased panga sightings used for smuggling in Southern California since 2021.

TRAGIC PLANE Collision in DC: Investigators Grapple with Altitude Mystery

04 February 2025 — Preliminary data from the tragic plane crash near Reagan National Airport reveals conflicting altitude readings between a passenger jet and an Army helicopter. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that American Airlines’ flight recorder indicated an altitude of 325 feet during the collision. However, control tower data showed the Black Hawk helicopter at 200 feet, which is the maximum permitted altitude for helicopters in that area.

Investigators face challenges as they attempt to reconcile this 100-foot discrepancy in altitude readings. Efforts are underway to retrieve data from the helicopter’s black box, which was waterlogged after submerging into the Potomac River. The NTSB plans to refine tower data, acknowledging its potential unreliability in this complex investigation.

The recovery operation continues as rescue crews work near the wreckage of both aircraft in the Potomac River. Brice Banning, NTSB investigator in charge, emphasized the complexity of this investigation and assured that their team is diligently gathering all necessary data.

BORDER ARRESTS Plunge as Trump’s Inauguration Nears

31 December 2024 — Arrests for illegal border crossings from Mexico in December stayed low, close to the lowest levels since July 2020. A senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection official reported about 44,000 arrests in December, similar to November’s count of 46,612. This marks the sixth month with arrests below the 2019 monthly average.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas credited “swift and effective implementation” of asylum restrictions for these low numbers. He emphasized strong border enforcement and international cooperation as key factors in this success. The final full month of President Biden’s term may end with some of the lowest arrest numbers during his presidency.

Arrests have dropped significantly from a peak of 250,000 in December 2023 after Mexico boosted its internal enforcement efforts and Biden imposed strict asylum limits. The Rio Grande Valley saw more activity, becoming the second-busiest corridor for illegal crossings after San Diego, which remained first. El Paso ranked third while Tucson was fourth due to strategic shifts by smugglers and Mexican authorities.

HANEDA HORROR: Five Perish in Explosive Runway Collision Between Passenger Plane and Coast Guard Aircraft

02 January 2024 — A devastating collision at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on Tuesday has left five dead. A passenger plane and a Japanese coast guard aircraft clashed on the runway, resulting in a fiery explosion that claimed the lives of the smaller aircraft’s crew.

All 379 passengers aboard Japan Airlines flight JAL-516 were able to escape unscathed before fire consumed the plane. The Airbus A350 involved, one of the industry’s most recent large passenger planes, suffered its first serious damage since entering commercial service in 2015.

The coast guard’s Bombardier Dash-8 aircraft was en route to deliver relief goods to earthquake victims in Niigata when it met with this fatal accident.

The disaster unfolded as the JAL plane touched down on one of Haneda’s four runways where the coast guard aircraft was preparing for takeoff. Investigations are underway to uncover what communication failures between aviation control officials and both planes led to this catastrophic event.

NEPAL PLANE Tragedy: Pilot Error Causes Deadliest Crash in 30 Years, Killing 72 Innocents

30 December 2023 — A devastating plane crash occurred in Nepal earlier this year, taking the lives of 72 people. Among the victims were two American citizens and two U.S. permanent residents. The fatal accident was likely a result of pilot error, according to a report released by government investigators last Thursday.

The ill-fated Yeti Airlines flight was en route from Kathmandu to Pokhara when it plunged into a gorge nestled in the Himalayan foothills. This incident has been marked as the most catastrophic airline disaster Nepal has witnessed in over three decades.

All passengers on board the twin-engine ATR 72 aircraft met with an untimely death — including two infants, four crew members, and fifteen foreign nationals.

The investigation report suggests that both condition levers were mistakenly shifted to the feathered position during flight. This led to both propellers feathering and subsequent loss of thrust which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and collision with terrain. It appears that due to lack of awareness and standard operating procedures, pilots accidentally selected power-controlling condition levers instead of flap lever.
