People in Florida neighborhood stop dinner, grab tools to rescue 4 people in plane crash

Residents in a Miami suburb used an ax, fire extinguisher and garden hose to rescue four people from a small plane that crashed into a tree in yet another mishap near a busy South Florida airport. 'It was nothing short of heroic,' Angelo Castillo, the mayor of Pembroke Pines in Broward County, said Tuesday. But Castillo is frustrated. He said there have been more than 30 crashes in the past five years on or around North Perry Airport, which serves small planes. A local street is named for 4-year-old Taylor Bishop, one of three people who died when a plane crashed into an SUV in 2021. 'We need better assurances that these planes are not going to keep falling out of the sky,' Castillo said. 'The airport was a dairy farm before World War II. Now it's the busiest general aviation airport in Florida. But within a five-mile radius, there are approximately half a million people.' A pilot and three passengers were approaching the airport in a Cessna T337G when the aircraft crashed into a tree in the Pines Village neighborhood around 8 p.m. Sunday, authorities said. 'Residents put their dinner forks down to get out there,' Castillo said. 'Some had garden hoses to put the fire out. There were cuts and bruises, but all four survived.' Giovanna Hanley said the plane crashed near her mother's house where she was staying. 'Within seconds, my hero Father in Law was breaking glass and pulling out the injured. ... This is personal. This is angering. This is unacceptable,' Hanley said on Facebook, referring to plane crashes. An email seeking comment from North Perry Airport was not immediately answered Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash. Castillo, meanwhile, wants an independent investigation of local air safety. 'People are up in arms, and I can't blame them,' he said.

University of Michigan starts new programs for their first-year applicants

The new school year is approaching, and the University of Michigan is adding an early decision program to its undergraduate application process, and will begin admitting students into two new first-year undergraduate programs. Applications to the university for the 2026-2027 year open Aug. 1. Under the early decision program, prospective first-year students must apply by Nov. 1 to be eligible to receive their admission response by late January. With early decision also comes early action, meaning students who are accepted must commit by May 1. In the application, a written signed agreement is required by the applicant, a parent or guardian, and their high school counselor. If accepted, the applicant must withdraw other applications from all colleges and universities. "As we approach the start of an academic year with what is likely to be a record number of undergraduate students, we are excited to offer this new approach to the undergraduate application process at the university," said Laurie McCauley, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. "The introduction of Early Decision at U-M allows high-achieving undergraduate students to affirm their commitment to the university earlier in the application process and enjoy peace of mind during the rest of their senior year of high school." The university encourages highly qualified students who already know that the university is their first choice to take advantage of this option. Students who are still exploring their options can still apply with the regular decision options, which allow students to apply by Feb. 1, 2026. Participating in any of the above applications will allow students to be eligible for available financial aid. Regardless of the process, admissions staff will still use the same holistic application review and selection process. Once admitted, students can choose two newly added programs from Michigan's catalog. Each of these new programs will be available as options for the University of Michigan's 2026-2027 prospective first-year students.
