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. Despite visual cues such as different lighting on taxiways, they aimed their jet to land to the right of 28R, on a parallel taxiway where the other planes were waiting to take off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11694646\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11694646\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/SFORunways-800x597.jpg\" alt=\"A Google Earth view of Runways 28L and 28R at San Francisco International Airport.

Adyanthaya writes in the caption, “OMG! AA Flight attendant violently took a stroller from a lady with her baby on my flight, hitting her and just missing the baby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the recording does not capture the alleged stroller incident and begins instead with a woman holding a baby and sobbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unidentified male passenger then appears to come to her defense saying, “What’s the guy’s name that did that with the stroller?” An employee comes into the frame and the male passenger says, “You do that to me and I’ll knock you flat.” The two men approach each other, fingers jabbing. The employee repeats, “Hit me,” and the passenger says, “I’ll knock you out.” The captain pulls the employee away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Federal and state officials say San Francisco International Airport's lack of proper maintenance and inspections led to the erosion of a seawall that prompted calls for emergency repairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week SFO was slated to begin construction work on the wall that protects the airport's perimeter from San Francisco Bay, a month after the Board of Supervisors approved $1.5 million in airport capital improvement funds to pay for the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, since then, the problem has gotten worse, according to airport spokesman Doug Yakel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Erosion is continuing,\" Yakel said. \"The wall has not failed, which is what we're trying to stave off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An inspection over the summer found the wall was significantly eroded, prompting the airport to \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/30/sfo-grappling-with-emergency-repairs-to-eroded-seawall/\">declare an emergency\u003c/a> and a top SFO official later said the structure needed to be shored up quickly to prevent flooding on all of the airport's runways and taxiways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO has been working to secure permits for the job from the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission as well as from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both agencies say the erosion was a long-term problem and should not be qualified as an emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just because SFO declares an emergency doesn't mean that the regulatory agencies which protect the Bay would declare an emergency,\" said commission executive director Larry Goldzband in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission \"finally\" received information it requested from the airport and plans to issue an amended permit that retroactively allows SFO to fix the seawall, Goldzband said, adding that it took the airport too long to answer the commission's questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the erosion problems were reported to the commission earlier, regulators could have considered potentially stronger plans to repair the seawall, Goldzband said. Instead, the agency is issuing an \"after-the-fact\" permit, which it doesn't like doing, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a similar permit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did deem this project not an emergency,\" said Janelle Leeson, regulatory project manager at the federal agency's San Francisco district. \"From the Corps' standpoint it was deferred maintenance,\" Leeson said in an interview. \"It's been deteriorating over years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The permit through the Army Corp of Engineers is for temporary work, according to Leeson.
