Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians head to northern Gaza

A vast and agitated mob headed north along Gaza's seaside road even before the sun signaled a cold dawn. They were both young and old. Many carried luggage and big white plastic bags, while others were little children. Some wore flip-flops, some walked barefoot, and some hopped slowly on crutches. One group of young men walked and sang with their arms clasped. Tens of thousands of Palestinians were seen moving toward a crossing on the Netzarim Corridor, which divides the enclave, and into the heavily bombed north as morning broke in Gaza on Monday, according to film and images taken by the NBC News crew. The Israeli military views the route, which bears the name of a former Israeli settlement, as essential to preventing militants from crossing Gaza. After 15 months of Israeli bombardment, ...

In cleanup from California fires, lithium-ion batteries are a dangerous challenge

The Summary One of the biggest cleanup challenges from the Southern California fires is lithium-ion batteries, which can explode after damage or exposure to heat. The batteries are found in electric vehicles, which abounded in some burned neighborhoods, including Pacific Palisades. The process of neutralizing the batteries is complex, requiring a high level of technical sophistication. The significant quantity of lithium-ion batteries that were engulfed in the flames is one of the main obstacles facing cleanup efforts in the wildfire-affected neighborhoods in the Los Angeles area. The batteries are used in golf carts, e-bikes, laptops, telephones, and wireless earbuds, and they power the majority of electric and plug-in hybrid cars. They are also present in power banks, w...

Will the Chiefs become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls? Here’s what history says

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game on Sunday, advancing them to their fifth Super Bowl in six years.

Since the Green Bay Packers won the first two Super Bowls in 1966, eight teams have won consecutive championships, but none have managed to secure the elusive third consecutive crown.

Air Force says it will teach video on first Black pilots after DEI review

In accordance with President Donald Trump's ban on diversity, equality, and inclusion measures, the U.S. Air Force announced on Sunday that it will restart training trainees using a video about the Tuskegee Airmen, the first Black airmen in the U.S. military, that has passed review. Since taking office on January 20, Trump has made DEI illegal across the U.S. military and administration. Eliminating DEI from the military has been a primary focus for newly appointed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who took office on Friday. According to a Reuters report on Saturday, basic training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland was not showing the Tuskegee Airmen or Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs), two videos about civilian women pilots trained by the U.S. military during World War Two, while the...

Duck DNA found in both engines of Jeju Air plane that crashed, report says

South Korea's SEOUL Authorities are still investigating what caused the deadliest flight catastrophe on South Korean territory, and a preliminary assessment released Monday stated that both engines of the Jeju flight aircraft that crashed last month contained duck remains. A month after the incident, South Korean officials published a six-page report claiming that DNA from Baikal teals, a migratory duck species that migrates in large flocks to South Korea for the winter, was found in both engines of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft. However, the investigation did not draw any preliminary findings regarding the reasons why flight data recorders ceased recording in the last four minutes of the flight or what would have caused the jet to land without its landing gear deployed. All but two of the...
