The investigation into why Champlain Towers South collapsed entered a new phase as the National Institute of Standards and Technology presented preliminary findings Thursday.NIST has dissected materials, by examing past and current structural codes and analyzing simulated models of the building to come up with failure hypotheses.All throughout the investigation of the collapse, that occurred two summers ago, concerns about the pool deck have been a focus.Now investigators are zeroing in on this and it appears that could have been where the collapse initiated.Investigations said the pool deck had severe strength deficiencies.“Tagline associate’s work shows that the design of the structure of CTS failed to meet the codes and standards applicable at the time of original construction and would also not meet current codes and standards,” said an investigator. A pool deck slab diagram was presented that showed yellow and red dots at certain columns.They represent yellow ...

BSO lieutenant colonel testifies in trial of former school resource officer

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:14:46 GMT

The trial for Scot Peterson, a former school resource officer accused of failing to protect students during the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, continued. On Thursday, prosecutors brought in Broward Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Samaroo to testify. Samaroo has 30 years of experience and has helped create different types of training for law enforcement. The prosecution is attempting to paint a picture that Peterson went through several different training courses, both in the classroom and live active training, that should have prepared him for the shooting that took place at the school. “Your job as law enforcement is the mere presence, is to disrupt their mindset, to change their game plan,” Samaroo said. “Does that mean to go towards the sound of gunshots?” an attorney asked. “Yes,” Samaroo said.“Does that mean you must know precisely where the gunshot is coming from?” an attorney asked. “...

Theme parks bounced back in 2022 from pandemic lows with revenue, if not attendance

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:14:46 GMT

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Last year marked a return to normal for the theme park industry around the world with operators reporting revenues, and in some cases attendance, at par or above pre-pandemic levels, according to a new report.Globally, the theme park industry hit a peak in 2019, the year before the spread of the COVID-19 virus forced many parks and attractions to shut down temporarily and then reopen with restrictions on attendance.Many operators focused on improving visitor experiences through adapting app-based technologies and that paid off with revenues in 2022 that surpassed 2019 levels, even if attendance had not bounced back in the same way, according to the report released Wednesday by the Themed Entertainment Association and AECOM, the design and engineering firm.“The pandemic revealed a sophisticated consumer base that is willing to pay more for out of home entertainment and experiences. However, consumers also demand more in terms of comfort, ease, quality, and satisf...

EU conservatives fail to kill nature restoration bill — for now

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:14:46 GMT

STRASBOURG — Both sides are claiming victory after an existential battle between left- and right-wing coalitions on a key piece of Green Deal legislation in the European Parliament on Thursday. But with EU elections on the horizon, it was a sign that the war has just begun.Days of tension crescendoed when the environment committee began voting on the controversial Nature Restoration Regulation, a proposal that wants to put at least 20 percent of the bloc’s degraded habitats back into a good natural state by 2030. Left-leaning MEPs high-fived, clapped and whooped when the first amendment — a call by the conservative European People’s Party to reject the legislative proposal entirely — narrowly failed to find a majority. The vote was tied, with 44 in favor and 44 against. That result meant that the EPP’s push to kill the bill was dismissed, and lawmakers moved on to what turned into a three-hour voting marathon on 2,500 amendments to the bill. They eventually ran out of time, fo...

Boris Johnson joked UK Tories would lose majority if they sacked every groper, claims ex-aide

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:14:46 GMT

LONDON — Boris Johnson once joked that the Conservatives would “lose our majority” in parliament if they suspended every MP “who’s pinched someone’s bottom,” a former top aide to the prime minister has claimed.Speaking on a Global podcast about the final days of Johnson’s tumultuous premiership, his ex-director of communications Guto Harri said Johnson tried to be “fair” to his then-deputy chief whip Chris Pincher, who was accused of groping two men while drunk.“As [Johnson] put it in the heat of the moment, ‘if we took away the whip from everyone here who’s pinched someone’s bottom, we’ll lose our majority’,” Harri said.The Pincher scandal was just one of many harassment stories to hit Westminster and the Conservatives. The case — where Johnson was thought to have acted slowly to dismiss Pincher and questions were raised about what he knew about the allegations before appointing him to the rol...
