"Top Ten Busiest Airports: Five in the US"

The U.S. dominates the list of the world's busiest airports, with five out of the top ten, while London Heathrow made a significant jump in rankings. Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport leads in passenger traffic and takeoffs/landings, but the U.S. lags in international passengers, with Europe hosting seven of the top ten airports for international travel. Cargo volumes have decreased globally, attributed to geopolitical tensions and disruptions in global trade and supply chains, with Memphis and Anchorage being key hubs for cargo transportation.

Stuck Methanol Barge Removed from Ohio River After a Week

A barge carrying methanol that was stuck on the Ohio River for more than a week has been safely removed. The barge broke loose from a vessel on the river and became stuck against the McAlpine Dam near Louisville, Kentucky. Methanol was pumped from the barge before it was pulled off the structure. No methanol was released into the environment, and tests have found no sign of it in air or water. Crews will continue to free the remaining barge stuck on the dam, which is carrying corn.

Port worker shortage causes shutdown at major West Coast shipping gateway.

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the busiest US ocean trade gateway, were shut down on Friday due to a shortage of West Coast port workers. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) coordinated the action by withholding labor as part of strained labor negotiations with their employers. The labor dispute has forced major retailers to shift cargo to East and Gulf Coast ports to avoid disruptions. The ILWU and Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) have reached a tentative agreement on key negotiation sticking points and are committed to resolving the contract matter expeditiously.

Leaky Soyuz spacecraft safely returns to Earth.

Russia's Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft, which was deemed unfit to carry a crew back to Earth after a coolant leak last December, has returned to Earth carrying cargo but no crew. The spacecraft was carrying 481 pounds of cargo, including scientific experiment results and equipment. The cause of the coolant leak remains unknown, but a manufacturing defect is suspected. The MS-22 was replaced by an uncrewed Soyuz MS-23, and three astronauts' mission has been extended until September 2023 due to the leak.
