NASA Aircraft Makes Emergency Landing in Houston; Rep. Omar Sprayed at Town Hall; Mountain Lion Captured in San Francisco; and Anti-Aging Trials to Begin
Houston, TX - A NASA WB-57 aircraft made an emergency landing at Ellington Field in southeastern Houston on Tuesday morning after a mechanical issue caused its landing gear to fail, according to NASA spokesperson Bethany Stevens. Video footage showed the aircraft touching down on the runway without its landing gear extended. The pilot maintained control as the aircraft slid down the runway, using friction to slow down. "Today, a mechanical issue with one of NASA’s WB-57s resulted in a gear-up landing at Ellington Field," Stevens said. No injuries were reported. A thorough investigation is underway.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, Representative Ilhan Omar was sprayed with an unknown liquid by a man during a town hall event Tuesday night. Footage showed a man approaching Omar at her lectern and spraying the substance in her direction before being tackled by security. Omar called on Homeland Security for assistance.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a 77-pound mountain lion caused a stir in the wealthy Pacific Heights neighborhood on Tuesday. The animal was first spotted Monday morning. Dozens of officials worked to capture and tranquilize the male cat after warnings were issued advising people to slowly back away if they encountered it. Madrey Hilton, who took video of the animal Monday morning, alerted authorities, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "The lion just looked like it was minding its own business," Hilton told the newspaper, adding that it scaled the wall and headed into Lafayette Park.
In other news, the first human test of a rejuvenation method is set to begin "shortly," according to Harvard professor David Sinclair. Sinclair confirmed that Life Biosciences, a Boston startup he cofounded, has received FDA approval to proceed with clinical trials of a treatment called ER-100. The announcement followed a conversation on X between Sinclair and Elon Musk, where Musk speculated that aging is "very solvable." Sinclair agreed, stating that aging has a "relatively simple explanation and is apparently reversible."
