http://youtu.be/8q_CAo7JA0A Passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight from Cuba to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, erupted in panic and chaos after the jetliner was forced to make an emergency landing following a bird strike. Shortly after taking off from Havana, smoke began filling the cabin of Flight 3923 after birds reportedly struck one of the plane’s engines and nose. The Boeing 737 had 147 passengers and six crew members onboard, and the pilot was able to return the flight to Havana safely. There were no reported injuries, Southwest Airlines told the Guardian. In shocking cellphone footage recorded inside the cabin, some passengers desperately try to punch the ceilings over their seats to release their oxygen masks as the smoke overwhelms the worried travelers.

http://youtu.be/-z_E3PV5uII New emails uncovered by House Republicans probing the COVID-19 pandemic reveal the deceptive nature of Dr. Anthony Fauci. They show he “prompted” or commissioned — and had final approval on — a scientific paper written specifically in February 2020 to disprove the theory that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. Eight weeks later, Fauci stood at a White House press conference alongside President Donald Trump and cited that paper as evidence that the lab leak theory was implausible while pretending it had nothing to do with him and he did not know the authors. “There was a study recently,” he told reporters on April 17, 2020, when asked if the virus could have come from a Chinese lab, “where a group of highly qualified evolutionary virologists look...

http://youtu.be/5P83wi_fr58 A Florida couple’s marriage got off to a rocky start when the owner of their reception venue pointed a gun at them and ordered everyone to “get out” — after a row over the music. Insane video posted by Jonathan Campo, the DJ and cousin of the bride, shows the irate man waving the weapon and shouting at the terrified guests Thursday night at Cielo Farms in Southwest Ranches. “He begins to wave it at everyone at the party, telling us to all get out, ‘Get out! Get out!’” Campo told WPLG, adding that the mayhem erupted during the last song of the night. The DJ told WSVN that a worker at the venue ordered him to turn off the music over fears of noise complaints — then spilled a drink on his equipment even though he had turned the music down. “By this time, the e...

http://youtu.be/Dm32T4NQyCw Walmart will close its last two stores in crime-plagued Portland, Ore., as the city contends with a relentless wave of shoplifting that has hammered retailers. The two stores, located in the North and Southeastern sections of the Rose City, will shutter on March 24. The closure announcement followed a “careful review of their overall performance,” a Walmart spokesperson told local news outlet KPTV last month. “We consider many factors, including current and projected financial performance, location, population, customer needs, and the proximity of other nearby stores when making these difficult decisions,” the spokesperson added. “After we decide to move forward, our focus is on our associates and their transition, which is the case here.” Nearly 600 employ...

http://youtu.be/zSA99bi_RoM Buster Murdaugh’s attorney girlfriend was a constant presence by his side as his disgraced lawyer father Alex Murdaugh’s high-profile murder trial gripped the country. His 26-year-old girlfriend, Brooklynn White, was spotted comforting the now-convicted murderer’s flame-haired son repeatedly in the courtroom throughout the six-week trial in South Carolina. And that support continued in the days after Murdaugh’s life sentence was handed down, with the young couple quickly escaping to a condo in Hilton Head, SC, where they were spotted walking her dog. While they appear to keep their relationship mostly under wraps, here’s what we know about Brooklynn White so far.

http://youtu.be/JZaBAHow5Qs Sen. Joe Manchin refused to endorse President Biden Sunday ahead of his expected 2024 re-election run — and went so far as to suggest he may throw himself into the race against his party’s leader. “I’m not taking anything off the table. And I’m not putting anything on the table,” the 75-year-old Manchin (D-WV) told CBS’ “Face The Nation,” minutes after throwing cold water on Biden’s re-election bid. “The bottom line is, let’s see who’s involved … Let’s wait until we see who all the players are. Let’s just wait until it all comes out.” The former West Virginia governor also said he had “plenty of time to make up my mind” and would wait until December to announce whether he will run for another term in the Senate or set his sights on higher office. “We’ve got ...

http://youtu.be/fo2Ylzx3tI0 Adidas could be forced to burn as much as $500 million worth of Yeezy sneakers after hastily cutting ties with rapper Kanye West last year over anti-Semitic remarks. The German sportswear giant is left with few good options for its Yeezy brand – a once-popular and lucrative segment of its business that was irrevocably tainted during West’s high-profile meltdown. If Adidas is unable to find buyers for the sneakers, one possible path to resolving the dilemma would be “literally burning the shoes,” the Washington Post reported, citing industry experts. Adidas’ remaining Yeezy inventory is estimated to be worth between $300 million and $500 million. Adidas wouldn’t be the first company to torch its product. Several retailers, including Burberry, Coach, Victoria’...

http://youtu.be/8UyJmsEQwN4 President Biden faltered and nearly fell for at least the fourth time going up the steps of Air Force One on Sunday while boarding his flight back to Delaware from Alabama. Biden, 80, visited the town of Selma to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the “Bloody Sunday” march during the civil rights era and push for Congress to pass sweeping election reform before making his perilous way up to the plane hours later. The oldest-ever president has staggered at least three other times when taking the stairs up to the aircraft, most recently when departing Poland after a three-day trip to Kyiv amid Ukraine’s ongoing war against Russia. In May 2022, Biden lost but quickly regained his balance by grabbing the handrail while boarding the presidential airplane at Andr...

http://youtu.be/0TwkDERDdbM Alex Murdaugh’s older brother is convinced the convicted murderer is still lying over the brutal slayings of his wife and son. “He knows more than what he’s saying,” Randy Murdaugh, 56, told The New York Times of his drug-addicted, serial-lying brother who still denies gunning down wife Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22. “He’s not telling the truth, in my opinion, about everything there.” Randy’s admission is in sharp contrast to a claim by his 54-year-old brother’s defense team that the whole family was “more convinced” of the disgraced legal scion’s innocence after his six-week trial. “The not knowing … is the worst thing there is,” Randy said of his ongoing doubts about his brother, who is serving two life sentences for the June 7, 2021, double murder.

http://youtu.be/1ggmr9AjfnE Over 100 unaccompanied migrant children were discovered inside an abandoned trailer in Mexico Sunday — one of the largest recent discoveries of minors migrating through the country. Most of the 103 unchaperoned minors had been traveling through Mexico from Guatemala, the government said Monday. In addition to the children were 212 adults from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Ecuador, the National Migration Institute (INM) said in a statement. Authorities also found 28 migrants traveling as families inside the truck. The families came from Guatemala and El Salvador and brought the total number of migrants to 343.

http://youtu.be/2obQdcUUDLU Two of the four US citizens violently kidnapped in Mexico during a terrifying caught-on-camera cartel shootout Friday have been found dead and two others alive, officials announced Tuesday. One of the surviving Americans was wounded and the other was unharmed, Tamaulipas Gov. Américo Villarreal said. One person has been arrested. The foursome from South Carolina — identified as Latavia “Tay” McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Eric James Williams — were abducted at gunpoint in broad daylight on May 4, shortly after they crossed the border from Texas into the crime-ridden border city of Matamoros, located in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas. Shocking video of the abduction shows several gunmen in bulletproof vests targeting the white minivan with No...

http://youtu.be/AUWuVrvEyGg Cops in Atlanta have released new aerial footage that shows dozens of protesters sneaking into the site of a future police training facility in the moments before they allegedly unleashed hell. The large group, described by authorities as “violent agitators,” were caught on a police helicopter’s heat-sensitive camera flooding into the under-construction Atlanta Public Safety Training Center — dubbed “Cop City” — on Sunday. Moments later, the video — which was released late Monday — shows the throngs of protesters setting fire to construction equipment in what police have slammed as a “coordinated attack.” The protesters were also filmed hurling Molotov cocktails, fireworks and bricks at responding officers. At least 23 of them were slapped with domestic ter...

http://youtu.be/oGa48PAIrPE A phony Hasidic dad who found social-media acclaim for adopting nine boys has been charged with sexually abusing most of them — while out on bond in an earlier child sex case, according to disturbing reports. Single dad Hayim Nissim Cohen, 38, regularly blogged about his “unique family” in Houston, gaining nearly 200,000 followers on TikTok. But “behind all that is excessive abuse,” local prosecutor Janna Oswald told a recent court hearing, according to the Houston Chronicle. Cohen — who claimed to be a Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn despite being born Jeffrey Lujan Vejil in the Lone Star State — was busted last month after one of his sons went on a podcast to anonymously report being raped and abused, the local paper noted. The terrified 17-year-old boy told Bl...

http://youtu.be/SWuDEqm-aWM Shocking video footage captures the moment a young mob violently trashed a Chinese restaurant in Queens over the weekend, overturning tables and breaking chairs as terrified staff and customers helplessly looked on. The heinous hooligans left Fish Village in College Point in shambles Saturday, according to a video posted on Twitter by community activist Yiatin Chu. “We’ve fallen so low that there’s no expectation of consequences for this horrific attack on private property,” Chu, president of Asian Wave Alliance and a co-founder of PLACE NYC, wrote in the post. “This video is going viral on WeChat. Fish Village, a restaurant in College Point, Qns was ransacked by a gang of masked kids in hoodies.” Police said the mob stormed the 127th Street restaurant shor...

http://youtu.be/8qqi_Ovn8kU Esther Crawford, the recently fired Twitter executive who gained notoriety for sleeping on the office floor, appeared to accuse former boss Elon Musk of “cruelty.” “Cruelty is the worst,” Crawford tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. Crawford posted the cryptic tweet hours after Musk publicly trolled Haraldur Thorleifsson, a fired Iceland-based Twitter employee who uses a wheelchair due to a muscle-related disorder. Musk was later forced to apologize after alleging Thorleifsson used the disability as an “excuse” to avoid work.

http://youtu.be/SWQkSsmp3HY A former New York Times science editor ripped Dr. Anthony Fauci Wednesday for repeatedly seeking to discredit the so-called “lab leak theory” of COVID-19’s origin — just days after newly released emails showed the former White House chief medical adviser commissioned a paper early in the pandemic meant to disprove it. “Fauci was probably not too pleased to hear that the virus might have escaped from research that his agency had funded,” Nicholas Wade, who also served as an editor for the journals Nature and Science, told the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. Wade was referring to experiments conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology with funding from the National Institutes of Health and Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infect...

http://youtu.be/cQlWgJcXNfA The U.S. Justice Department has found Louisville police have engaged in a pattern of violating constitutional rights following an investigation prompted by the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor. The announcement was made Wednesday by Attorney Merrick Garland. A Justice Department report found the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government and Louisville Metro Police Department “engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives people of their rights under the Constitution and federal law.” The report said Louisville police “discriminate against Black people in its enforcement activities,” uses excessive force and conducts searches based on invalid warrants. It also said the department violates the rights of people engaged in protected speech, l...

http://youtu.be/pCzSMwygX78 Arizona rancher George Kelly told 911 dispatchers there was an “animal lying facedown” on his property after he allegedly shot dead an illegal migrant — and a Border Patrol agent deemed he was being “intentionally vague” with authorities, according to recordings obtained by The Post. Kelly — accused of killing 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea after firing an AK-47 at a fleeing group of unarmed border crossers — begged the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s office to send officers to his Nogales ranch Jan. 30, but refused to divulge further details. “It’s very serious, ma’am, and I’m not going to talk over the telephone,” a frantic Kelly, 74, told the dispatcher, according to a recording of the call. In the nearly 8-minute phone call, the dispatcher pleaded with Ke...

http://youtu.be/tJ6no3EHlKA Nearly 6,000 US public schools are employing guidance policies that block parents from knowing whether their child identifies as a different gender in the classroom — which could become federal policy if President Biden’s Title IX proposals are approved in May. At least 168 school districts nationwide have rules on the books that prevent faculty and staff from disclosing to parents a student’s gender status without that student’s permission, according to a list compiled by the conservative group Parents Defending Education and shared with The Post. More than 3.2 million students are affected by such policies in all kinds of districts — large and small, affluent and poor, urban and rural, red and blue — stretching from North Carolina to Alaska. The non-compre...
