Mexican navy ship sails into New York City's Brooklyn Bridge
A Mexican navy ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday during a promotional tour in New York City, the top of its mast brushing the iconic span as it sailed through the East River.
The Mexican navy said in a post on the social media platform X that the Cuauhtémoc, an academy training vessel, was damaged in an accident with the Brooklyn Bridge that prevented it from continuing its voyage.
It added that the status of personnel and material was under review by naval and local authorities, which were providing assistance.

Particularly if you are a lone worker with nobody else near you. That's where Field Safe Solutions hits the mark, with its easy-to-use safety platform that connects workers and employers with all imperative data. Your weekday lunchtime roundup of curated links, news highlights, analysis and features. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again Field Safe is a Calgary-born company that is making great strides in lone worker safety, journey management and compliance calendar streamlining. It was launched in 2018 after discussions with oil and gas companies about concerns regarding the safety of workers in the field, in the event they have a sudden health problem or an accident. How would the company know of their dilemma and be able to help? Technical people at Field Safe listened to the concerns of management, but more importantly spent time in the field talking with workers on the front lines who were worried about how they would fare if a dangerous situation occurred while they were out of touch with fellow workers and others who could be of assistance. A device to handle the needs was designed and introduced in 2019 and, despite being up against stiff competition, it earned Field Safe a contract from Flour Canada to provide devices for workers at the massive LNG Canada construction site at Kitimat, B.C. Whatever requests Flour had, Field Safe's response was 'we can do it.' And they performed well, resulting in a number of new clients seeking the comfort of relying on them for their own employees' safety. It's interesting to note that of its next four customers, three joined the Field Safe board. The company is run today by CEO Danny Hay, who joined Field Safe six years ago as its CFO. Hay is a chartered accountant, graduating with a bachelor of commerce from Haskayne School of Business, who held previous positions that included officer and director of TSX and TSX-v listed companies, most recently as CFO of an Alberta alternative energy company. He is a board member of groHERE, a vertical farming company growing superior tasting strawberries in a controlled environment, and has been a board member of Calgary Foothills Soccer Club for more than a decade.

Workers and their families must be thankful of the choice their employers have made in selecting Field Safe, knowing they are never truly alone. And it is a comfort for the office to be certain of where they are, and can streamline event recording, notifications, task assignments and progress visibility for accountability. Most important, according to Field Safe vice-president of innovation Doug Junor, is that every need-to-know is found simply and with ease on a cellphone after uploading the cloud-based software, designed to fulfil the specific needs of each customer. Junor says visiting with field workers and attending company safety meetings helped design the software to respond to specific needs, many for simplicity. Workers wanted big type, scrolling instead of tapping, and colour coding of green, yellow and red that made it easy to respond with — and say goodbye to clipboard, pen and paper, big white binders and call-in services. Calls for help are immediately reported to the closest fellow workers in the area, and on up the list as far as notifying STARS. Field Safe is attracting customers from a wide range of industries that have lone worker employees — such as utilities, forestry, land and environmental services, and municipal governments. Junor says his reward is hearing a wife say, 'You solved my biggest fear — if he didn't come home and I didn't know where he was.'

Photo by ROBERT ATANASOVSKI / AFP/Getty Images A Delta Air Lines Inc. jet was forced to abort landing to avoid a midair collision with a B-52 bomber in North Dakota last week, a go-around manoeuvre described as 'aggressive' by ABC News citing the pilot.

Create Account The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement on Monday that it's investigating the July 18 incident, which involved Delta flight 3788, operated by SkyWest Inc. The pilot apologized to passengers after landing, ABC said in a report Sunday, citing a recording of remarks by the pilot, who it didn't identify. The near-miss comes at a time air safety in the U.S. is under intense scrutiny. With a chronic shortage of controllers, breakdowns of air traffic systems, and the fatal crash involving an American Airlines Group Inc. regional jet with a U.S. Army helicopter, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has pledged an overhaul to boost safety. The SkyWest-operated Delta jet had departed from Minneapolis on Friday evening and was on approach to Minot Airport, North Dakota, which is located approximately 18 kilometres south of an Air Force base. The military airfield is home to 26 B-52 bombers and almost 13,000 personnel, dependents, and civilians on-site. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The pilots were cleared to land by an air traffic controller, but they executed a go-around manoeuvre, SkyWest said. Flightradar24 data shows minutes prior to landing the Embraer SA E175 jet reached an altitude of about 2,200 feet before rapidly climbing to 4,150 feet and performing a u-turn to make a second, successful attempt at touchdown. The Air Force didn't release any information to ABC on the incident. Delta referred all comments to SkyWest. 'SkyWest flight 3788, operating as Delta Connection from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Minot, North Dakota on July 18, landed safely in Minot after being cleared for approach by the tower but performed a go-around when another aircraft became visible in their flight path,' the regional jet operator said in a statement. 'We are investigating the incident.' Congress has provided the Federal Aviation Administration $12.5 billion to start the modernization of air traffic telecommunications equipment. Duffy says the overhaul of the aging systems will cost $31.5 billion. —With assistance from Allyson Versprille. Uncategorized Toronto & GTA Editorial Cartoons Columnists Canada

Helicopter fire simulator used to train sailors at CFB Halifax
As firefighters risk their lives across the country, a few are training at home to fight fires at sea. Members of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Department of Defence took part in lifesaving, nighttime firefighter training in the Halifax area Thursday. 'We are practicing on a trainer that kind of simulates a helicopter crashing on a flight deck of one of our ships that we have at sea,' said Petty Officer David Ward. The trainer is a controlled system that's part of the damage control division at CFB Halifax, Ward said. There is a helicopter onsite that trainers ignite using propane jets that bubble up through a water bath. 'We're trained to quickly respond,' he said. 'Our first priority is to get those casualties out.' Ward said rescues require aggressive firefighting techniques to push the fire back and get air crew out as fast as possible before extinguishing the fire and eliminating hazards. 'The helicopters can carry torpedoes, machine guns, whatnot. We have to disarm those.' Ward said the training was developed in the air force and carried over to the navy. He said they train officers from every ship in the fleet at the facility. Sailor 1st Class David Fitzpatrick said the training was a great experience for learning new skills and firefighting positions. 'It's a good challenge of course, mentally and physically,' Fitzpatrick said. 'Especially with the hot temperatures we've been having here in July.' Family and friends were given the opportunity to attend Thursday's training simulation. Fitzpatrick said it was nice to show loved ones what they do. Sailor 1st Class Van Allen was commanding the trainees in the field. He said his team's performance was excellent. 'What I'm looking for from my guys out there is one, knowledge… The other thing is aggression,' Allen said. 'You've got to be aggressive attacking the fire. The fire fights back.' Allen said the goal is to build muscle memory and camaraderie. Ward said the teams build plenty of both during the month-long course. 'Some of them don't know each other but they'll know each other for the rest of their career,' Ward said. DND firefighter training For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
