Private Jet Crash in Greenacres, Palm Beach County
November 1st, 2026The names of the passengers have not been officially released.
Why did the jet (N722BD) change course and head North East in the final minutes?
Hmm…
Via: Daily Mail:
A private jet carrying nine people has crashed just eight miles from Mar-a-Lago in Florida, erupting into a colossal fire and sending a boom echoing for miles.
The $2 million Learjet 60 plummeted from the air, falling 32,000ft in a minute, causing a roaring amber blaze and plumes of smoke to billow from the scorched roadside in Greenacres, Palm Beach County, the FAA confirmed.
A massive crater marked the impact site, ringed by a wide field of scattered wreckage.
Haunting final audio from inside the cockpit has revealed the panic as the plane started to descend at rapid speeds. All nine people on board died on impact.
The twin-engine business jet nosedived near South Military Trail and Marilyn Drive around 12.50pm. It remains unclear who was on board.
The flight had set off from Austin, Texas, bound for North Eleuthera in the Bahamas before its path abruptly ended just near West Palm Beach, according to flight data.
President Donald Trump had been at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday night hosting a Halloween party, but it’s understood he had already departed for Iowa by the time the explosion occurred.
U.S. Army Practices for “Mass Temporary Interment”
November 1st, 2026Via: ArmyTimes:
The Army is preparing for the grim possibility of burying fallen soldiers on the battlefield, testing how fast it can dig temporary graves while preserving remains for eventual identification and return to families after the end of a conflict.
During an exercise in North Carolina, engineers, preventative medicine teams, chaplains and fatality management specialists prepared for mass temporary interment not used on a large scale since the Korean War, the Army announced in a release last week.
For more than twenty years during wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. air superiority allowed the quick evacuation of remains back to the United States through mortuary affairs channels. Future conflicts — especially those with large-scale combat operations, or LSCO — may not have the same capabilities.
Phase II of Operation Dragon Covenant challenged troops to test and validate temporary burial operations and remains preservation at a large scale. Engineer soldiers involved had to use their equipment to excavate and then fill burial trenches without damaging mock remains, made of skeletal models and water containers, so that hypothetical future forensic teams could unearth and repatriate them after the end of a conflict.

Luxury Hotel In One Of America’s Wokest Cities Sells At Shocking 94% Loss
October 30th, 2026Meanwhile, in Seattle, half the businesses are considering moving.
25 years ago, Seattle seemed like the city of the future. I guess the whole PNW peaked around then. People loved it, they wouldn’t shut up about it. I loved going up there, anywhere from Victoria/Vancouver to Portland. What a choice to make, to wreck that whole beautiful region.

A luxury hotel in downtown Portland has sold for 93.6% less than its previous purchase price, according to the Portland Business Journal.
The 221-room Royal Sonesta hotel, located at 506 S.W. Washington St., was purchased for just $6.83 million by an entity linked to Laxmi Hotels Group.
The property last sold for $108.3 million in 2016, a staggering $101.5 million more than its latest sale price.
The bargain-basement deal was part of a larger eight-property hotel portfolio acquired by Laxmi.
The steep markdown comes as downtown Portland continues to grapple with the fallout from years of rampant drug use, crime and deteriorating street conditions.
The upscale hotel sits diagonally across from the Washington Center building, an area that previously became notorious as one of downtown Portland’s most prominent open-air drug markets.
Largest Heist Ever: Hackers Steal $6.3 Billion in Crypto from Binance *
October 29th, 2026* Federal Reserve: Hold my beer.
Via: Sky:
Cryptocurrency worth more than $6.3bn (£4.7bn) has been stolen from a major exchange – with one industry insider telling Sky News it is “the largest bank heist in human history”.
The security exploit targeted Binance, one of the world’s biggest platforms for trading digital assets, which said it is establishing the facts with urgency.
Deposits and withdrawals have been suspended for customers – with the company insisting that user funds are safe, and all hacking losses will be covered.
According to TRM Labs, a blockchain intelligence firm that tracks the industry, an elite North Korean hacking unit called TraderTraitor was responsible for the theft – and it was completed in just 20 minutes.
That would make it the largest cryptocurrency hack to date – surpassing the $1.5bn that was stolen when the Bybit exchange was targeted last year.

The U.S. Added a Record 20.2 GWh of Battery Storage in Just 3 Months
October 29th, 2026Via: Electrek:
The US battery storage market just posted its biggest quarter ever, adding 20.2 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of new capacity in Q2 2026.
The record quarter brought total battery storage installations for the first half of 2026 to 30.8 GWh – up 23% year over year – according to the new “US Energy Storage Market Outlook” from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.
Nearly all the growth came from large grid batteries. Utility-scale projects accounted for about 18 GWh of Q2 installations, supported by seven gigawatt-hour-scale projects – four in Arizona, two in California, and one in Utah.
