By Kris Van Cleave April 4, 2024 / 12:32 AM EDT / CBS News Senator Tammy Duckworth is urging the Federal Aviation Administration to take a closer look at how it responds to what she says is a pattern by Boeing of failing to disclose flight deck features of the 737 Max to pilots, according to a letter to be sent Thursday and obtained exclusively by CBS News. Duckworth, Democrat of Illinois and chair of the Senate’s Aviation Safety, Operations and Innovation Subcommittee, is calling on FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker to investigate why Alaska Airlines pilots were unaware the plane’s cockpit door was designed to automatically open during a rapid depressurization — which is exactly what occurred on flight AS1282 when a door panel on a Boeing 737 Max 9 blew out mid-flight in early January. “Boeing’s failure to disclose this feature is chilling given its history of concealing 737 MAX information from pilots,” Duckworth writes. National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy told reporters following a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on January 17 that the flight crew should have been told about the feature.

A firefighter inspects a vehicle that went over the side of a canyon in Malibu on Wednesday. (KTLA-TV) One person was killed Wednesday after a car careened off the road in the Malibu hills, authorities said. The deadly crash occurred about 5:30 p.m. on Malibu Canyon Road near Adamson Flat, less than two miles north of Pacific Coast Highway, according to the California Highway Patrol. The crash shut down traffic in both directions of Malibu Canyon Road, a two-lane stretch that cuts through the Santa Monica Mountains, uniting Calabasas with Malibu and Pacific Coast Highway. The road curves along the hills and can be treacherous, with steep drop-offs into the canyon below. The passage has been the site of multiple fatal crashes over the years. Aerial footage Wednesday night from KTLA-TV showed a gray-silver vehicle had tumbled more than 100 feet off the cliffside into the brush and rocky ravine below. Firefighters were traversing the canyon to reach the vehicle. It’s unclear what led to the crash, which is under investigation by the CHP. The L.A. County Medical Examiner-Coroner responded to the scene; the identity

Luis Valentino, superintendent of the Coachella Valley Unified School District, resigned Wednesday effective June 30, according to multiple media reports. Valentino offered his resignation Wednesday evening at a special meeting of the district’s Board of Education, and board members accepted on a 5-2 vote, the Desert Sun reported.

Louisville guard Skyy Clark drives past Maryland Baltimore County guard Dion Brown on Nov. 6. Clark announced he is transferring to UCLA. (Timothy D. Easley / Associated Press) April 3, 2024 7:34 PM PT Mick Cronin’s first offseason acquisition could find a spot alongside Dylan Andrews in UCLA’s starting backcourt. The Bruins snagged Louisville’s leading scorer Wednesday after sophomore combo guard Skyy Clark announced on the social platform X that he was headed back to his hometown. “Home is where the heart is!!” Clark, a native of Los Angeles, wrote atop a photo illustration showing him dribbling a basketball outside Pauley Pavilion and below the Hollywood sign and the words “I’m coming home.” A gifted shooter who could also help Andrews with ballhandling duties, Clark made 35.3% of his three-pointers last season while averaging 13.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists. After starring for Heritage Christian in Northridge as a sophomore and spending his final two high school seasons in Tennessee and Florida, Clark spent his freshman college season at Illinois. He started 12 of the Illini’s first 13 games before leaving the team for

By Jordan Freiman April 3, 2024 / 11:02 PM EDT / CBS News Just over a week after a winning ticket was sold for a $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot , an estimated $1.09 billion is at stake in the Powerball drawing. The winning numbers for Wednesday night’s drawing are 11, 38, 41, 62, 65 and Powerball 15. It was not immediately clear if any winning tickets had been sold. A jackpot winner would have the option to have their winnings doled out in annual payments over 29 years or take a single lump sum payment. The estimated cash value of the lump sum for Wednesday’s drawing was $527.3 million before taxes. The last Powerball jackpot win came on New Year’s Day, when a single winning ticket in Michigan claimed an $842.2 million jackpot.  Players win the jackpot by matching all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are around 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball, but smaller prizes are available. The chances of winning any prize, the smallest of which is $4, are 1 in 24.87.

By Kris Van Cleave Updated on: April 3, 2024 / 11:03 PM EDT / CBS News The Federal Aviation Administration is looking into a Southwest flight that veered off course while on approach to land at New York’s LaGuardia Airport and may have buzzed the air traffic control tower with as little as 67 feet of clearance, CBS News has learned.  The incident occurred around 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 23, when pilots of Southwest Flight 147 aborted their first approach because of bad weather. While on final approach of their second landing attempt, an air traffic controller is heard urgently telling the pilots of the Boeing 737 to “go around” and climb to 2,000 feet.  “Go around! Go around!” Fly runway heading, climb and maintain 2,000. Climb and maintain 2,000. 2,000,” the air traffic controller said, according to a feed from liveatc.net. The plane had apparently drifted to the east and was no longer lined up with the runway. Preliminary flight tracking data from Flightradar24 put the airliner at an altitude of 300 feet when it began to climb. The FAA said it’s investigating

WASHINGTON —  The challenge, the Lakers said, was as much mental as anything else. Six games in nine days including contests against some of the worst teams in the league, a stretch that closed Wednesday against the Wizards. “Those are teams, respectfully, that we should beat,” D’Angelo Russell said the night prior. And even though the Wizards had just upset the Milwaukee Bucks, the Wizards were another win the Lakers were supposed to get. That didn’t mean it was going to be easy. Road weary from a trip that took them from Milwaukee to Memphis to Indiana to Brooklyn and to Toronto before reaching Washington, D.C., the Lakers needed to find some last bit of reserve fuel to finish things off. Having seen their 17-point lead reduced to just two in the fourth quarter, LeBron James made sure the offense would be flat-footed no more. He attacked the Wizards zone. Soared for a two-handed dunk and triggered a run that gave the Lakers a 125-120 win and a 5-1 late-season trip. “I think offensively we’ve been very consistent. Our ball movement, sharing the ball. We still

An Easter Sunday burglary at a San Fernando Valley money storage facility netted thieves as much as $30 million in cash in an operation that has, at least for now, left authorities baffled, the Los Angeles Times reported.   The March 31 heist, which is among the biggest in L.A.’s history, occurred at an undisclosed Sylmar facility that handles cash from businesses across Southern California, L.A. police shared with The Times.   While it’s unclear how thieves knew about the massive amount of money held in the facility’s safe, the break-in was considered complex, suggesting a highly experienced burglary crew that managed to breach the building through the roof and gain access to the vault without activating the alarm system.   There were no signs of the break-in outside of the vault itself, and officials at the facility weren’t even aware of the heist until the safe was opened Monday.   Officials at the Sylmar facility alerted LAPD and detectives from the department’s Mission Division arrived to search for and gather evidence.   Law enforcement sources told The Times that the burglary is one of the
