Los Angeles (AFP) - The FBI has written to passengers who were aboard a Boeing aircraft that suffered a midair blowout to tell them they may be victims of a crime, US media reported Friday. The move comes after the Department of Justice earlier this month announced it was opening a criminal investigation into the near-catastrophic incident on January 5, when a panel blew off the fuselage of an Alaska Airlines operated plane mid-flight. No one was seriously hurt, but the 737 MAX 9 had to make an emergency landing, with footage showing the terrifying scene as passengers sat next to the gaping ho...

New York (AFP) - Four of the bolts securing the panel of a Boeing 737 MAX 9 Alaska Airlines jet that blew off mid-flight last month were missing, according to a preliminary investigation published Tuesday.

The agency has collected written documents and photos showing that Boeing employees removed four bolts from thes...

Washington (AFP) - The Pentagon inspector general's office said Thursday it will investigate Lloyd Austin's failure to report his hospitalization to the rest of the government, as the defense secretary faces mounting criticism over his silence on his health. Austin kept President Joe Biden and Congress in the dark about his prostate cancer diagnosis for weeks and did not inform them about his hospitalization at the beginning of the year, leading to growing calls for him to resign or be fired. The situation is a major headache for Biden in an election year, putting the president on the defensiv...

New York (AFP) - FBI agents seized the New York mayor's cell phones and other devices, his campaign lawyer said Friday, in an apparent escalation of a federal investigation into campaign fundraising. The seizure appears to be part of a corruption investigation into whether Eric Adams' 2021 campaign conspired with Turkey's government and others.
