🇺🇸 United States Of Americrash ✈ ⚰

And you wonder why the US now wants to make peace with Russia. They are tired of losing pilots and they need Russia's advanced tech & quality titaniums for their aircrafts.

Russia also supplies the US with enriched Uranium. So without Russia the US cannot produce nuclear bombs.

Three people were killed Monday when a medical transport helicopter crashed in Madison County in the 🇺🇸 US state of Mississippi.

"Earlier this afternoon, AirCare 3, our Columbus-based medical transport helicopter, had an accident in rural Madison County, north of the Reservoir. Sadly, there were no survivors," the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) said in a statement.

The helicopter was returning to its base in Columbus, Mississippi, from a patient transport when it crashed in Madison County around 12:30 p.m. Monday, the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s vice chancellor for health affairs, Dr. LouAnn Woodward, said at a news conference.

“The entire Medical Center family is heartbroken over this,” Woodward said.

The pilot and two hospital workers were on board, but not a patient, it said.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said it is launching a go-team to investigate the crash.

"Team is expected to arrive tomorrow," it said on X.

Foreign Affairs › U.S Oil Tanker Explodes After Colliding With Cargo Ship, 32 Injured (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 3:11pm On Mar 11, 2025

A 🇺🇸 U.S flagged oil tanker carrying jet fuel was struck by a cargo ship in the North Sea off the coast of eastern England on Monday, triggering multiple explosions, setting both vessels on fire and sending fuel pouring into the water, officials said. An English port boss said he had been told there was "a massive fireball" following the collision.

The oil tanker which burst into flames after being struck by a cargo ship was 'essential for US national security' and had been loaded with 142,000 barrels of jet fuel, it has emerged today.

Dozens of people have been rescued after the MV Stena Immaculate exploded into a 'massive fireball' off the Yorkshire coast today, leaking some 18,000 tonnes of fuel into the North Sea.

Several hours after the collision happened, the cargo ship's owner said one crew member was missing. Efforts to locate the missing crew member were ongoing, the German-based Ernst Russ said in a statement.

Earlier, local lawmaker Graham Stuart said he was told by U.K. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander that 37 crew members were aboard the two ships, with one hospitalized and the other 36 mariners safe and accounted for.

Crowley Maritime, which operates the U.S.-flagged chemical and oil products carrier MV Stena Immaculate, said the tanker was anchored in the North Sea off the coast of Hull, about 155 miles north of London, when it was struck by the Portugal-flagged container ship Solong.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office said details of the collision and its cause "are still becoming clear." Abdul Khalique, head of the Maritime Center at Liverpool John Moores University, said it appeared the crew of the cargo ship had not been "maintaining a proper lookout by radar" as required by international maritime regulations.

The Stena Immaculate was at anchor near the port of Grimsby, according to ship-tracking site VesselFinder. The Solong was sailing from Grangemouth in Scotland to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. According to the BBC, the Stena Immaculate was en route from Agio Theodoroi in Greece to Killingholme in the U.K.

It is one of just 10 tankers enlisted in a U.S. government program designed to supply the armed forces with fuel during times of armed conflict or national emergency, the BBC reported.

A cargo tank on the ship containing jet fuel ruptured, leaking fuel and a fire broke out, Crowley said.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Canada Will Cut Off Electricity Supply To U.S - Premier Warns (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 12:10pm On Mar 11, 2025

With the way the US brags about being a super power, you'd think it will be them supplying electricity to Canada.

Even Nigeria that they look down on supplies other African countries with electricity.

Ordinary electricity. At this point the US isn't even a regional power, Canada is.

Because with just one click, the whole of the US will be thrown into darkness, into stone age.

From Trump's rant you'll know that Canada is the biggest player in North America and the US relies on them for everything.

They couldn't even put off their wildfires without Canada's help.

Foreign Affairs › Canada Will Cut Off Electricity Supply To U.S - Premier Warns (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 12:08pm On Mar 11, 2025

🇺🇸 President Donald Trump may have delayed most – though not all – of the tariffs he had imposed on Canada and Mexico, but that hasn’t stopped America’s northern neighbors from responding forcefully in retaliation.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford at a press conference that he would move forward with a surcharge on electricity exports to three US states starting Monday, warning that he will turn off access if the United States adds new tariffs on Canadian goods.

“If the United States escalates, I will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely,” Ford told reporters. “Believe me when I say I do not want to do this, I feel terrible for the American people, because it’s not the American people who started this trade war. It’s one person who’s responsible. That’s President Trump.”

Ford on Monday said the 25% surcharge “will cost families and businesses” in New York, Minnesota and Michigan and add around “$100 per month to the bills of hardworking Americans.”

But it would also hurt Canada’s energy industry, in turn. Canada, which is far more dependent on US exports than America is on Canadian goods, risks plunging into a recession if the trade war escalates. As the saying goes: no one wins in a trade war.

Along with his threat to cut electricity off completely, Ford said he may raise the 25% surcharge if US tariffs escalate. Trump has threatened to do just that: On Friday, he said he would levy dairy and lumber tariffs on Canada, matching dollar-for-dollar the duties Canada places on US goods.

And Trump on Sunday said tariffs on Canada and Mexico could rise from the threatened 25% level if the countries don’t make good on their promises to help reduce the amount of fentanyl crossing over the boarder into America.

Last week, the Ontario premier claimed he would shut off power to the US “with a smile on [his] face” if Trump continued to levy tariffs on Canadian exports.

A 🇺🇸 US Beechcraft Bonanza plane crashed in Pennsylvania on Sunday afternoon with five people aboard, according to the Federal Aviation Authority.

The small aircraft went down near a retirement village south of Lancaster Airport, the Manheim Borough Police Department told ABC News.

The plane had just departed from the airport shortly before it crashed, authorities said during a briefing on Sunday evening, adding that the plane might have skidded about 100 feet after it first made contact with the ground.

No one was hurt on the ground, officials confirmed.

All five passengers were transported to Lancaster General Hospital, where trauma and emergency teams were at the ready to provide care, according to hospital spokesperson.

Two of the patients were later transported to Lehigh Valley Health Network’s burn center by PennSTAR flight crews, the spokesperson said, and one patient was transported there by ground ambulance.

The other two patients were discharged from Lancaster General on Sunday night, they added in a statement on Monday.

Venture Jets shared a statement on Monday, confirming that one of its board members was piloting the aircraft at the time of the incident.

"We can confirm that Sunday's tragic aircraft mishap at Lancaster Airport involved one of our family — Matt White. Matt is a long-time aviation advocate and Private Pilot, as well as an Executive Board Member for our company," the statement said, in part.

"The flight in question was a personal flight, in a privately owned aircraft, for the purpose of personal family travel. The flight was not affiliated with, nor operated by our company, nor were any company employees involved."

It was not immediately clear if White was one of the three patients still being treated at the burn center on Monday.

The plane crash occurred around 3 p.m., according to the FAA, which said it will investigate. The National Transportation Safety Board is also monitoring the situation

According to audio from Air Traffic Control, the pilot told the Lancaster Airport control tower that his plane "has an open door we need to return for landing."
