Graphic Video Shows Hot Air Balloon Crash That Killed Three People

0

The balloon crashed into power lines last year at the Mid-Atlantic Balloon Festival near Ruther Glen, Virginia. A preliminary report on the crash paints a grim scene as it unfolded.

s3.amazonaws.com

youtube.com

The May 9, 2014, crash killed the balloon pilot, 65-year-old Daniel Kirk, as well as two passengers: Ginny Doyle, 44, and Natalie Lewis, 24.

In the video, the balloon can be seen drifting over a group of trees until it makes contact with the power lines. Sparks fly, and the base of the ballon bursts into flames.

The camera then pans away, but a woman can be heard shouting.

"Move, move, move it's gonna come this way," the woman says in the video. "Oh God, they're on fire. The people are."

The video was released this week as part of a new report on the crash from the National Transportation Safety Board.

The report paints a grisly picture of the crash: As the balloon drifted toward the power lines, Kirk engaged the burner, "which resulted in a spark." The balloon then caught fire, but also climbed back into the air.

It Took 44 Minutes To Shut Power, Delaying Response To Smoke-Filled D.C. Metro Train

Investigators said Friday that even though Metro officials started ventilating the tunnel 10 minutes after an electrical breaker tripped, it took 44 minutes to shut power to the affected rail, delaying the emergency response. One woman died and more than 80 people suffered from smoke inhalation.

In its preliminary report on the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board said the malfunction began at 3:06 p.m. when an electrical breaker tripped. But D.C. Metro didn't shut down power to the affected rail until 3:50 p.m., according to the Associated Press, which reported the findings.

Emergency responders have said they were delayed because Metro didn't say whether the electrified third rail had been shut down.

One woman was killed and more than 80 people were sickened by the billowing smoke when the train stopped in a tunnel near the L'Enfant Plaza station on Monday.

D.C. commuters will face delays Tuesday morning as some trains are still suspended following an electrical malfunction that filled a subway station with smoke on Monday.

All Yellow Line service will be replaced with additional Blue Line trains, until the Yellow line returns to regular service. Other trains will be delayed, according to the WMATA website.

In 2014, the average global temperature was 58.24°F (14.58°C), which was 1.24°F (0.69°C) above the 20th-century average.

That made for the highest average temperature recorded in 135 years, surpassing previous records set in 2005 and 2010 by 0.07°F (0.04°C), according to the report. The fourth warmest year was recorded in 1998.

Last year also saw the hottest December on record.

Nine of the 10 warmest years on record, including 2014, have occurred during the 21st century, the report noted.

The global annual temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.11°F (0.06°C) per decade since 1880, and at an average rate of 0.28°F (0.16°C) per decade since 1970.

52 Reasons 2015 Will Be The Best Year For Music Since Ever

Adele! Kanye! Rihanna! Frank Ocean! Sufjan! Seriously, we’re freaking out.

Adele, TBA

Thanks to a single, winking tweet from Adele, many fans expected the follow-up to her world-conquering sophomore album last year. However, 2014 came and went without so much as a song title and the project remains shrouded in mystery. In a recent interview, long-time collaborator Paul Epworth refused to comment on the sound or status of the album, saying only that it “will come when it's ready." Will she pull a Beyoncé? Collaborate with Pharrell? Make good on her promise to go country? Only time will tell because her people aren't talking.

XL Recordings

Kanye West, TBA

Kanye West, TBA

Appreciators of G.O.O.D. music are starved for new ‘Ye after a 2014 in which a much-anticipated follow-up to Yeezus was teased repeatedly but never produced. One track allegedly leaked, while another made a brief and tantalizing appearance in a World Cup Adidas commercial. On New Year’s Eve, Kanye threw fans for another loop by premiering the first official taste of his next project — an emotionally devastating ballad written from the perspective of his late mother and featuring Paul McCartney. Dubbed “Only One,” the piano-driven tearjerker is about as far from the queasy pyrotechnics of Yeezus as you can get. And with several more McCartney collaborations promised in a press release, the only thing we know is that everything we thought we knew about Yeezus II is wrong. New day, new ‘Ye.

Rihanna, TBA

It’s been two years since Rihanna’s last album and expectations are at an all-time high. Once known for releasing a new album every year, pop’s hardest working hit-maker decided to take some time off in 2013. While she continued to listen to demos and "phuck round" in the studio, it wasn’t until October 2014 that she really buckled down and got to work. According to insiders, her eighth album — dubbed #R8 by fans — will be a mix of ballads and edgier, Hudson Mohawke-esque bangers. She's also reportedly recorded a song titled "Burritos," so, yeah, it sounds like this album will be worth the wait.

Def Jam

Kendrick Lamar, TBA

Kendrick Lamar, TBA

What we know: 1) “i” and the untitled track he performed as the last musical guest ever on Colbert both slay. 2) His last album Good Kid M.A.A.D City was a rare kind of insta-classic revelation that floored just about everyone exposed to it. 3) Kendrick himself is a rare music artist, unafraid to take risks, confound fans, and say what’s on his mind in this era where nearly everyone is content to play it safe. All that adds up to next-level anticipation for whatever it is King Kendrick has planned, and we’re told from a label rep who has heard the album that our expectations aren’t misplaced. “I can’t tell you anything about the album,” he told us. “Except it’s going to blow you away.” Of course, label reps are paid to make hyperbole sound natural, but we are completely inclined to agree here.

Documents Detail Neighbors' War Against Romney's Beachfront Mansion

0
0

The House that Mitt built.

The outside of Romney's proposed home.

California Coastal Commission

Neighbors of former Gov. Mitt Romney waged an organized campaign to prevent him from building a 11,000-square-foot mansion on his La Jolla, California, property, documents from the City of San Diego and California Coastal Commission show.

Their concerns centered around Romney's claim to own the land in front of the proposed beachside home and the size of his home, which residents said would both change the character of the community and possibly privatize a beach they had long-considered public.

More than two dozen La Jolla residents signed and sent a letter in 2013 to the California Coastal Commission requesting a public hearing about the Romneys' plans, and various neighbors expressed their concerns to the city in emails during a public comment period in 2011. Several residents did also express support for Romneys' proposed home in 2013 to Commission.

The Coastal Commission rejected the claims against Romney building the home in October of 2013, and gave Romney's plans the green light.

Romney's tensions with his neighbors has been noted but before but the emails and the extent of the campaign against him have not been previously reported.

"We along with several of our neighbors on Dunemere have concerns about the potential impact based on the size, scale and mass of the proposed project compared to the prevailing neighborhood development on Dunemere Drive itself," two Romney neighbors — couple Randy Clark and Tom Maddox — emailed the city of San Diego in 2011.

Maddox and Clark were profiled in the 2012 New York Times article "The Candidate Next Door," which touched on Romney's unpopularity in the neighborhood and neighbors' opposition to his plans to build the mansion. As noted in the Times story, the couple refused to sign a letter in support of the project when asked by Romney's architect.

"The street is very unique to the area and most of the homes are on a completely different size and scale," added the couple in their email. "Our home along with the other homes on Dunemere that are in the immediate vicinity are much much smaller than the size of the proposed development. The neighborhood dates to the 1920-1940 time period and our home as well as others immediately next to or across from the Romney house are very small In size and are of a unique character. The lot sizes are relatively small, the street is one way with limited access."

Romney's plans to build the 11,000-square-foot mansion at the site of his existing home first came to light during the 2012 presidential election in the Politico story "Mitt Romney's 4-car fantasy home."

That story sparked cries that Romney was out of touch, and included a line about Romney's home including a car elevator — a detail that was frequently mocked in the months that followed. Politico, which was provided the plans for Romney's home by a rival campaign (and then independently verified their contents) did not post the blueprints for Romney's home, due to concerns raised by the Secret Service.

The blueprints have since been posted online multiple times by city and state entities.

The concerns the home would dwarf the majority of homes in the community was expressed in several other emails to the city from neighbors during the comment period.

"I'm concerned that an 11,000 square foot house with 8,000 square feet above ground is not consistent with the character of the street and the immediate Beach Barber Tract area," wrote neighbor Gidon Cohen.

"Most homes on the street, while varying significantly in style, are of modest size ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 square feet, which gives the street its unique character. While I favor a property owner's right to build the home of his/her choice, I would hope this can be done in a way that does not compromise the character of the street. I know there are other neighbors , who share my concerns , and hope you give voice to this point of view as you deliberate the merits of the project."

The Romney's next door neighbors likewise expressed concern about the Romney home negatively affecting the neighborhood's character.

"We have lived next door to the Romney house since 1978. We are concerned about the potential negative impacts of the project upon the neighborhood," wrote Steven and Carolyn Runyan.

"Our primary concern is that the proposed development would be out of proportion for the neighborhood. The size of the proposal would be disproportionately larger any other house on Dunemere Drive. The Romney house would be much larger than the mean/average size of the houses in the neighborhood. Therefore, statistically, it would have to be considered the outlier."

A man living across the street from Romney echoed these concerns.

"My home is located....directly across from the proposed Romney project," wrote Walter Turek. "I am extremely concerned and opposed to the size and scope of the proposed project."

Tracy Feldsott, a former La Jolla resident who had objected to the proposed Romney residence prior to her move, told BuzzFeed News that there were several issues with the proposed project, given the geography and geology of the site.

"I'm from La Jolla, and used to use that beach. It's very, very crowded there" she said, adding that she was opposed to the project "because it would close off the beach, but also because the land around there is sandstone. If they're going to go down [to build a 4,591 square-foot basement], it's going to affect other people, I believe."

Feldsott added that that "the streets are so narrow" in the neighborhood that "when they come, the streets have to be closed off, and the neighbors are all inconvenienced."

"This is just a ridiculous use of the land," she said.

One La Jolla resident whose name appeared in the letters of opposition is actually supportive of Romney and his construction plans.

"I'm definitely a fan of Gov. Romney, I voted for him, I was totally for that," said Jack Clancy who signed the letter calling for a hearing on the appeal to BuzzFeed News. "I don't know how it came out that I was against the building at all. I was totally in agreement with everything he was doing prior to. When the Secret Service were here, I even bypassed my daily walk with my dog just to help those guys out."

"I'm so happy that he's going to be a neighbor of ours. Please put me on the good list."

Another neighbor who lived next door to the Romneys, Jeff Lepore, wrote in support saying that "this new home will enhance our neighborhood greatly in character and value."

In a surprise appearance before the San Diego city council during a public comment period in 2013, Ann Romney herself spoke out against the delays in building her home and troubles she and Mitt encountered.

"Notice defects can be problematic for transparent government and public participation, two things that Mitt and I strongly support," she said as she citing that inaccurate details that were published in the newspaper concerning the public comment period.

As noted by the LA Times the main floor is 4,681 square feet, the second floor is 1,790 square feet and the basement is 4,591 square feet.

Included in the Coastal Commission report on Romney's mansion, as well, was a letter in opposition from a previous resident of the home, whose parents had once owned the property.

"As far as my parents were concerned the beach has always been public property," wrote Steele Lipe. "Unlike the East Coast where beaches and their access are virtually all private property California beaches to my knowledge are public property and the State through its Coastal Commission has been vigilant in keeping it so."

"Therefore, I am truly skeptical and dismayed that the beach beyond the seawall should be or could be considered private property. If that is the case, then the owner has the right to cordon off the beach and prevent its use."

In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Lipe said he was "distressed" by what Romney was doing.

"Mitt Romney took a bulldozer to the house," he said. "It wasn't big enough for him and his family."

"He tried to be a nice guy but he so out of touch with people," said Lipe of the election.

Former Romney neighbor Anthony Ciani, an architect and advocate of keeping the beach in front of the Romney's home public, led the drive to stop the construction of Romney's mansion.

Ciani appealed the City of San Diego's planning commission's approval of Romney's home to the California Coastal Commission, which would have final say on the matter.

Ciani raised a number of issues about the Romney's home is his appeal.

The Coastal Commission's report:

"The appellant contends that the project does not conform because the bulk and scale of the proposed residence is out of character with the surrounding community, the City's CDP does not properly protect public use of the beach area, the proposed residence will be threatened by geologic risks during its estimated 75 years of economic life, the project blocks vertical public access through a set of existing concrete stairs, the project will have a negative impact on the water quality of the beach, and the project does not protect a historically significant structure."

The Commission staff rejected the claims and said "that no substantial issue exists with respect to the grounds on which the appeal has been filed."

After the home was eventually approved by the Coastal Commission, LA Times columnist Robin Abcarian reported the Romneys would provide public access to the beachfront.

Ciani and Matthew A. Peterson, the attorney who lobbied to push through the development project for Romney — and repeatedly butted heads with Ciani — resolved some issues in a phone call after the plan's approval the LA Times further reported.

Ciani still contended the Romneys did not own the beach.

Romney's attorney and lobbyist declined a request by BuzzFeed News to comment on the process and confirm details, but said Romney and his wife were deciding whether to keep or sell their home once the construction was completed.

"Mitt and Ann's plans are firm. They will be completing the construction of the home by the end of the year, but no decision has been made at this time whether to keep it, or sell it. That is all I have for you at this time."

Multiple emails to Romney's communications team received no response.

This Director's Reaction To Not Getting An Oscar Nomination Is Amazing

“I was a victim of my instincts,” the Force Majeure director told BuzzFeed News. “I wanted to win, and my emotions took over.”

Of the many surprising developments in Thursday's announcement of the 87th Academy Award nominations, one that was a bit lost in the shuffle was the absence of the Swedish film Force Majeure from the Best Foreign Language Film category.
