Investigators are examining the Louisville UPS cargo plane crash that killed at least 12 people, focusing on the black boxes, aircraft maintenance records, and debris analysis to determine the cause, with a preliminary report expected within 30 days and a full investigation taking up to 2 years.
Residents near the site of an F-35 jet crash in Williamsburg County, South Carolina, feel fortunate that no one was injured. The pilot ejected from the aircraft, which crashed into a debris field near Old Georgetown Road. Witnesses described hearing a loud boom and feeling their houses shake. The investigation into the crash is expected to take months.
A debris field has been discovered in South Carolina during the search for a missing F-35 fighter jet that experienced a "mishap" on Sunday. The pilot safely ejected, and the incident is currently under investigation. The Marine Corps is now taking command of the search and recovery efforts. In response to this incident and another recent one in Australia, the Marine Corps acting commandant has ordered a two-day stand-down for all aviation units to focus on safety and procedures.
A debris field has been discovered in Williamsburg County, South Carolina, during the investigation into the disappearance of an F-35 stealth fighter jet. The pilot ejected safely from the aircraft, which belonged to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. The United States Marine Corps has taken command of the incident and announced a two-day pause in operations to address aviation safety concerns. The cause of the mishap is under investigation, and the debris field is being secured.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of the aftermath of NASA's DART mission, which intentionally collided with the asteroid Dimorphos. The impact resulted in a debris field of at least 37 boulders ranging from 3 to 22 feet in diameter being flung into space. The success of the mission demonstrates the potential for altering the trajectory of asteroids and preventing potential collisions with Earth. The observations provide valuable insights into the effects of asteroid impacts and could help refine future deflection strategies.
NASA's DART mission successfully shifted the orbit of an asteroid, but it also created a debris field of boulders. Analysis of images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed dozens of boulders that collectively made up 0.1 percent of the mass of the target asteroid. Some of these boulders are slowly moving away from the collision site and have the potential to escape the gravity of the double asteroid system. The boulders, estimated to be 4-7 meters across, carry about 0.1 percent of the pre-collision mass of the asteroid. The kinetic energy carried away by these rocks is only 0.003 percent of the energy delivered by DART. The findings suggest that the target asteroid was a rubble pile composed of pre-shattered rocks, and DART simply liberated some of them. Further study will be conducted by the European Space Agency's HERA probe in three years.
Investigators will review voice recordings and data from the mother ship that carried the Titan submersible before it imploded, as part of an expanding international investigation into the incident that killed all five people aboard. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is leading the investigation, which aims to find out what happened and why, and what needs to change to reduce the risk of such occurrences in the future. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is also looking into whether criminal, federal, or provincial laws may have been broken. Questions have been raised about the Titan's design and safety measures.
The remains of the Titan submersible were found 1,600 feet away from the wreck of the RMS Titanic in what the Coast Guard is calling a catastrophic implosion. The debris indicates that the submersible likely experienced a failure, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of the five passengers aboard, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush. The Coast Guard will continue to map the debris field, and it is too early to determine a timeline for when the implosion occurred. The Navy's underwater detection systems recorded an implosion that was likely Titan.
Debris, including parts of the outside cover, has been found in the search for the missing Titan submersible, which disappeared in a remote area of the North Atlantic on Sunday with a four-day oxygen supply for its crew of five. The debris was located by a remote-controlled underwater search vehicle (ROV) near the wreck of the Titanic. The US Coast Guard earlier said a "debris field" had been found. It is now being analysed.
OceanGate's Titan submersible, with four passengers and a pilot aboard, lost contact with its mothership during a Sunday morning dive, and the debris field recently found near the wreck of the Titanic is material from the submersible. OceanGate posted a statement in which it said that all aboard the vessel are believed dead.
A "debris field" has been discovered by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) while searching for a sub that went missing while carrying five people to the wreckage of the Titanic. The US Coast Guard is evaluating the discovery, and search planes and ships have been deployed to the northern Atlantic Ocean in the hopes of finding the lost 21-foot sub Titan. The sub launched into the Atlantic from a Canadian research vessel on Sunday morning, and the vessel lost contact with the Titan an hour and 45 minutes into the dive.
