PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies first baseman/designated hitter Bryce Harper left Thursday night’s game against the Washington Nationals with what the team called mid-back spasms.The Phillies said that Harper was undergoing additional evaluation.Harper was originally credited with an error on a Dominic Smith grounder in the fourth inning when he went to field a ball that hit the first base bag, then bounced off his chest.

Investigators: Pilot miscommunication caused United plane to drop near ocean

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:02:19 GMT

Federal investigators said Thursday that miscommunication between pilots led to a United Airlines jet diving within 748 feet (228 meters) of the ocean’s surface shortly after takeoff from Hawaii in December.The National Transportation Safety Board said in a final report that the crew failed to manage the plane's vertical path, airspeed and nose direction after the mix-up between the captain and co-pilot. Which airlines have the most delayed flights out of Denver? After a normal takeoff during heavy rain at Kahului Airport on the island of Maui, the captain asked the co-pilot, or first officer, to reset the wing flaps, but the co-pilot heard “15” instead of “five," according to the NTSB. Soon the pilots realized that the plane was pitched downward and accelerating. “At this point, I knew the captain was having difficulty with airspeed control ... I couldn’t be certain what the captain was dealing with," the co-pilot later told investigators. The plane's nose continued to pitch down...
