His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The crew was seconds from landing their Airbus A320 jet on a taxiway where other planes loaded with passengers were waiting to take off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could not have gotten literally or figuratively any closer to having a major disaster,” said the National Transportation Safety Board’s vice chairman, Bruce Landsberg, during a hearing Tuesday in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Underscoring the severity of the incident, the NTSB’s top aviation safety staffer, John DeLisi, said it was the first time the board considered a major investigation for an event in which there were no injuries or damaged planes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board said the Air Canada crew mistook the taxiway for a runway because they didn’t adequately review a warning to all pilots about one of the runways being closed for construction. The board cited other mistakes and crew fatigue as contributing factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said the airline would review the safety board’s recommendations and has already taken steps to improve training and procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two pilots “are being held out of service,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The safety board recommended the development of technology to warn pilots and air traffic controllers when a landing plane appears to be aimed at a taxiway instead of a runway. It also said the Federal Aviation Administration should consider better lighting and markings to warn pilots about closed runways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cockpit voice recorder might have helped investigators better understand how the near-accident unfolded. However, the recording was taped over because the NTSB wasn’t notified of the incident for nearly two days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we learned of a passenger airliner almost touching down on a taxiway occupied by four other airliners, we elected to launch a full investigation,” DeLisi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>SFO Ground Video Shows Near-Miss\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/oF7FR7TjnME?t=42\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>In the video above, the Air Canada jet approaching SFO can be seen as the moving bright white light near the top of the frame. At the 1:08 minute mark, the jet’s landing lights sweep across the fuselage of an aircraft just beneath it, lined up to take off.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident occurred just before midnight — it felt like 3 a.m. to the pilots, who had taken off from Toronto. The safety board recommended that Canada strengthen rules to prevent pilot fatigue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The safety board’s chairman, Robert Sumwalt, urged the FAA and Canadian officials to adopt the recommendations “so that we do not have to relearn the lessons of this incident at a far greater cost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air Canada crew was cleared to land on runway 28R, to the right of the closed runway, 28L.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a preliminary NTSB report, the pilots thought the lighted runway was 28L — not theirs.

Firefighting officials said Friday night the fire has burned across 31,325 acres — 49 square miles — since it started early Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans says the fire is still burning along parts of the interstate and that crews will need to assess damage along the right-of-way — including the presence of thousands of burned trees that could topple into the heavily traveled route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire “has been jumping back and forth across Interstate 5,” Don Anderson, deputy director for Caltrans District 2, said Friday afternoon. “… What I’ve been telling people is we’re going to take a good, serious look at it on Sunday, just because there’s so much work we have to do in that canyon — and the fire is still active alongside the highway.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said the agency has identified 3,800 burned trees that need to be removed along the stretch of I-5 where the fire was most intense. He said “a significant number” of those are “hazard trees” alongside the roadway that could pose a threat to traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said workers are already moving up the closed road removing the hazard trees, a job he said they may complete by Sunday. Contract crews will take down burned trees that don’t pose an imminent threat, a process that could take about two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said Caltrans already has a $10 million contract in place to replace damaged guardrails, culverts and signs and repave parts of the roadway compromised by the fire’s intense heat. That work can take place after the highway reopens, he said, but will require lane closures that could “hamper” traffic through the area for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://esrimedia.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Minimalist/index.html?appid=ae1e6e1d909d4a73a62d41e61088c430\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans data show that an average of about 40,000 vehicles a day, including roughly 6,000 trucks, use the stretch of I-5 shut down by the fire.

The agency says it also believes the contractor improperly reinstalled parts of the train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contractor, Shimmick Construction, denies responsibility for the issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFMTA has promised \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/projects/twin-peaks-tunnel-improvements-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the $40 million project\u003c/a> would lead to improved service on the K-Ingleside, L-Taraval and M-Ocean View light-rail lines, all of which use the tunnel to get from the Castro to the west side of Twin Peaks. The project, which closed the tunnel for two months, included installing new rails and track ballast (the gravel bed on which rails usually sit) and seismic retrofits to the century-old tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni began advising riders two days after the tunnel reopened on Aug. 25 that some trains were being delayed by “signal issues” at West Portal — the western entrance to the 2-mile bore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on a review of Muni advisories on Twitter, those issues eased after a few days. But daily delays described as “system issues” or “signal issues” began again on Monday, causing major backups in K, L and M service heading toward downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Haley, the SFMTA’s director of transit, said Wednesday the problems were due to missteps by Shimmick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said in an interview that both series of problems involved Muni Metro’s automatic train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Muni’s light-rail vehicles enter the system’s tunnels, including the Twin Peaks Tunnel, they transition from operator control to the automatic system. The train control system includes trackside equipment that identifies each vehicle as it arrives by counting the number of axles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that identification is made as intended — Haley said the process involves a “handshake” between computerized equipment at trackside and aboard each light-rail vehicle — the train is put on automatic control. In the case of the refurbished Twin Peaks Tunnel, the train is cleared to travel to the next station, Forest Hill, at a speed of 50 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that immediately after the tunnel reopened last month, the automatic train control system was not executing the “handshake” at West Portal. The system’s response is to slow the trains to a crawl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that the problem, which he described as intermittent but disruptive, involved improperly reinstalled components for the train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could mean the components were relocated in the wrong place, they were buried under track or ballast that was put back down, that kind of thing,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that SFMTA employees have found that by reducing the automatically set speeds for a 1,000-foot section of eastbound track at West Portal, trains are able to proceed through the area without stopping. Once past the affected section of track, trains are able to resume their normal speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said the second issue was more serious and grew out of previously scheduled construction last Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shimmick crews brought heavy equipment into the tunnel through the West Portal entrance, he said, and in the process damaged the train control system’s trackside components.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had all sorts of heavy equipment vehicles going in, and they damaged the equipment alongside the trackway,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the components damaged was the system that counts vehicle axles. Haley said the result is that the system “stops the train and says, ‘Wait a minute, you’re not going any further until we figure out who you are.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damage was extensive enough that it has prevented Muni from issuing remote commands to clear the problem from its operations control center. Instead, two Muni workers have been stationed at West Portal, Haley said, and are trying to manually correct problems with the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley added that the damage has caused a ripple effect throughout the Muni Metro system, as it forces downtown-bound trains to slow to 25 mph for the entire length of the Twin Peaks Tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Muni crews have replaced much of the damaged equipment at trackside and are working with the train control system’s manufacturer on a fix that could be in place later Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said the SFMTA has discussed the problems with Shimmick Construction, but declined to characterize the conversations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a representative for Shimmick said the company is not to blame for the train control problems and denied its equipment caused any damage last weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have reached out to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to offer our continued post-construction support,” Chapin Fay, a Shimmick spokesperson, said in an emailed statement. “The automatic train control system work on the project was not under our purview and we are not aware of any damage that was done this weekend by our equipment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supervisor that represents the area of the West Portal station expressed outrage on Thursday after learning about the subway problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These delays are unacceptable,” said Supervisor Norman Yee in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I urge the SFMTA to work with the contractors to resolve these issues as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new West Portal problems come just weeks after Mayor London Breed put SFMTA chief Ed Reiskin on notice she expects quick action to resolve the transit agency’s service issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked how much the West Portal issues might cost, Haley said, “Well, I can tell you the biggest concern I have for the cost is the public inconvenience and the impact on service. … I’m less concerned about the dollar value than the loss of confidence that our riders have.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The project, which closed the tunnel for two months, included installing new rails and track ballast (the gravel bed on which rails usually sit) and seismic retrofits to the century-old tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni began advising riders two days after the tunnel reopened on Aug. 25 that some trains were being delayed by “signal issues” at West Portal — the western entrance to the 2-mile bore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on a review of Muni advisories on Twitter, those issues eased after a few days. But daily delays described as “system issues” or “signal issues” began again on Monday, causing major backups in K, L and M service heading toward downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Haley, the SFMTA’s director of transit, said Wednesday the problems were due to missteps by Shimmick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said in an interview that both series of problems involved Muni Metro’s automatic train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Muni’s light-rail vehicles enter the system’s tunnels, including the Twin Peaks Tunnel, they transition from operator control to the automatic system. The train control system includes trackside equipment that identifies each vehicle as it arrives by counting the number of axles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that identification is made as intended — Haley said the process involves a “handshake” between computerized equipment at trackside and aboard each light-rail vehicle — the train is put on automatic control. In the case of the refurbished Twin Peaks Tunnel, the train is cleared to travel to the next station, Forest Hill, at a speed of 50 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that immediately after the tunnel reopened last month, the automatic train control system was not executing the “handshake” at West Portal. The system’s response is to slow the trains to a crawl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that the problem, which he described as intermittent but disruptive, involved improperly reinstalled components for the train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could mean the components were relocated in the wrong place, they were buried under track or ballast that was put back down, that kind of thing,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that SFMTA employees have found that by reducing the automatically set speeds for a 1,000-foot section of eastbound track at West Portal, trains are able to proceed through the area without stopping. Once past the affected section of track, trains are able to resume their normal speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said the second issue was more serious and grew out of previously scheduled construction last Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shimmick crews brought heavy equipment into the tunnel through the West Portal entrance, he said, and in the process damaged the train control system’s trackside components.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had all sorts of heavy equipment vehicles going in, and they damaged the equipment alongside the trackway,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the components damaged was the system that counts vehicle axles. Haley said the result is that the system “stops the train and says, ‘Wait a minute, you’re not going any further until we figure out who you are.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damage was extensive enough that it has prevented Muni from issuing remote commands to clear the problem from its operations control center. Instead, two Muni workers have been stationed at West Portal, Haley said, and are trying to manually correct problems with the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley added that the damage has caused a ripple effect throughout the Muni Metro system, as it forces downtown-bound trains to slow to 25 mph for the entire length of the Twin Peaks Tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Muni crews have replaced much of the damaged equipment at trackside and are working with the train control system’s manufacturer on a fix that could be in place later Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said the SFMTA has discussed the problems with Shimmick Construction, but declined to characterize the conversations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a representative for Shimmick said the company is not to blame for the train control problems and denied its equipment caused any damage last weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have reached out to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to offer our continued post-construction support,” Chapin Fay, a Shimmick spokesperson, said in an emailed statement. “The automatic train control system work on the project was not under our purview and we are not aware of any damage that was done this weekend by our equipment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supervisor that represents the area of the West Portal station expressed outrage on Thursday after learning about the subway problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These delays are unacceptable,” said Supervisor Norman Yee in an emailed statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I urge the SFMTA to work with the contractors to resolve these issues as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new West Portal problems come just weeks after Mayor London Breed put SFMTA chief Ed Reiskin on notice she expects quick action to resolve the transit agency’s service issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked how much the West Portal issues might cost, Haley said, “Well, I can tell you the biggest concern I have for the cost is the public inconvenience and the impact on service. … I’m less concerned about the dollar value than the loss of confidence that our riders have.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The department said its investigation is ongoing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two short videos of the episode, which occurred about 8:45 p.m. Thursday on an N-Judah light-rail vehicle near 34th Avenue and Judah Street in the city’s Outer Sunset neighborhood, were tweeted late Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AnnaMSterling/status/1035391641861799936\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the videos depicts an adult white male who has another person in a headlock on one of the vehicle’s seats. Other passengers approach, exclaiming, “He’s a kid!” and “Over music?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second video shows the first adult and a second, also apparently white, trying repeatedly to force a younger male off the vehicle through an open side door. The younger man, who appears to be a person of color, struggles to stay on the car and screams “Stop!” several times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The videos were posted by Anna Sterling, an independent journalist and part-time producer for KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em> program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said on Twitter that she had obtained the video from a witness who got off the Muni car at the same stop as the young man to offer aid. “He is OK,” Sterling reported early Friday via tweet. “He was shaken up after the incident for sure though.
