The FAA has just issued an Emergency Airworthiness Directive for MD-11 aircraft requiring aircraft inspections and any applicable corrective actions before further flight.
AD #: 2025-23-51
Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-23-51 is sent to owners and operators of The Boeing Company Model MD-11 and MD-11F airplanes.

Background

This emergency AD was prompted by an accident where the left-hand engine and pylon
detached from the airplane during takeoff. The cause of the detachment is currently under
investigation. This condition could result in loss of continued safe flight and landing.

FAA’s Determination

The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has determined the unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

AD Requirements

This AD prohibits further flight until the airplane is inspected and all applicable corrective actions are performed using a method approved by the Manager, AIR-520, Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Not a put on—I *seriously* thought this was an attempt at humor. But it seems that *he* (Rob Schneider) was the one being serious. These people are members of the most dangerous American cult of the last 150 years and possibly ever. They are—candidly—utterly mad. They’re also in charge right now.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.
