A small plane crashed Sunday afternoon in the park

A small plane crashed Sunday afternoon in the parking lot of #Brethren Village, a retirement community near Lancaster Airport in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, #Pennsylvania. The incident occurred around 3:15 p.m. on March 9, 2025, involving a Beechcraft Bonanza single-engine aircraft with five people on board.⁠
⁠
Witnesses reported that the plane took off from Lancaster Airport but soon veered left and nose-dived into the parking lot, resulting in a fireball and extensive damage to several vehicles. Emergency responders arrived promptly, extinguishing the flames and attending to the injured. All five occupants were transported to local hospitals; however, their current conditions have not been disclosed.⁠
⁠
Notably, there were no injuries reported among individuals on the ground, and the Brethren Village building itself did not sustain structural damage. Approximately a dozen cars were damaged, with five experiencing severe destruction. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the crash and stated that it will conduct an investigation into the incident. ⁠
⁠
This crash follows a series of recent aviation incidents, including a fatal air ambulance crash in #Philadelphia in January. As investigations continue, authorities will work to determine the cause of this latest crash and implement measures to enhance aviation safety.⁠

On a recent episode of #TheTonightShow Starring Ji

On a recent episode of #TheTonightShow Starring Jimmy Fallon, #KaiCenat, the renowned #Twitch streamer and #YouTuber, delved into creating the term "Rizz." Cenat, who is Haitian and Trinidadian, shared how he and his friends coined "Rizz."⁠
⁠
The term quickly gained traction among his followers and the broader online community, becoming a staple in contemporary slang. The widespread use of "Rizz" led to its recognition by linguistic authorities, with some dictionaries considering its inclusion due to its significant impact on modern vernacular.⁠
⁠
During the interview, Cenat expressed amazement at how a term he and his friends casually introduced evolved into a recognized word in the dictionary. ⁠

Woody Clermont has made history as the first #Hait

Woody Clermont has made history as the first #HaitianAmerican male judge elected in #BrowardCounty, marking a significant milestone in the county’s judicial history. His investiture ceremony took place on February 28, 2025, at the main Courthouse in #FortLauderdale.⁠
⁠
Clermont’s journey to the bench is a testament to his dedication to public service and justice. Born in #Brooklyn, #NewYork, to #Haitian parents, he has built a remarkable career, serving as an Assistant State Attorney in the Miami-Dade County State Attorney’s Office from 2005 to 2010. During his tenure, he gained invaluable prosecutorial experience, handling various cases and developing a strong understanding of the justice system.⁠
⁠
Clermont’s appointment marks a significant achievement. He follows in the footsteps of Florence Taylor Barner, the first Haitian American judge elected in #Broward County in 2016. As a County Court Judge, Clermont is assigned to the South Regional Courthouse in Hollywood, where he will handle cases in Criminal Division SB and Civil Division 62.⁠
⁠
The 17th Judicial Circuit, where Clermont will serve, boasts a diverse bench with several judges of #Caribbean descent. Some notable judges of Caribbean descent serving on the 17th Judicial Circuit include:⁠
⁠
-Florence Taylor Barner (Haitian)⁠
-Tabitha B. Eves (Trinidadian)⁠
-Fabienne E. Fahnestock (Haitian)⁠
-Phoebee Francois (Haitian)⁠
-Jackie Powell (Jamaican)⁠
-Jose Izquierdo (Cuban)⁠
-Carlos A. Rodriguez (Cuban)⁠
-Marina Garcia-Wood (Cuban)⁠
-Alberto Ribas Jr. (Cuban)⁠
⁠
The 17th Judicial Circuit serves Broward County and is the second-largest circuit in the state of Florida. Judge Clermont’s appointment is a proud moment for both his family and the Haitian American community, and his legal career is set to inspire many others who aspire to serve in the judiciary. ⁠

⁠ On March 1, 2025, #Haitian authorities seized

⁠
On March 1, 2025, #Haitian authorities seized over $100,000 in cash at Hugo Chavez #CapHaïtien International Airport. The funds were discovered on a Bahamasair flight arriving from #Nassau, resulting in the arrest of two #Haitian nationals. However, the flight attendant allegedly involved in the incident returned to Nassau before authorities could apprehend her.⁠
⁠
#Bahamasair has acknowledged the incident and reiterated its commitment to maintaining stringent security measures. The airline is conducting an internal review and collaborating with the Haitian National Police, the Royal Bahamas Police Force, and Interpol.⁠
⁠
Notably, Bahamasair had temporarily suspended flights to Haiti in late 2024 due to security concerns but had resumed services to Cap-Haïtien. The airline assures the public that it continues to closely monitor the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.⁠
⁠
This incident highlights the ongoing challenges airlines face in ensuring security and compliance with international regulations. Authorities are actively investigating the matter to determine the full extent of the alleged smuggling operation and any potential breaches of protocol.⁠

#PresidentTrump is poised to sign an executive ord

#PresidentTrump is poised to sign an executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to initiate the process of dismantling the U.S. Department of Education, according to sources familiar with the matter. The draft order instructs Secretary McMahon to close the department "to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law."⁠
⁠
This move aligns with a longstanding conservative objective of returning control of education to individual states and reducing federal oversight. The draft order asserts that federal programs have failed students, teachers, and families and advocates for a decentralized approach to education governance. ⁠
⁠
Secretary McMahon, recently confirmed by the Senate, has reportedly informed her staff about the impending actions. However, fully dismantling the Department of Education would require congressional approval, necessitating a 60-vote majority in the Senate due to legal constraints on significant programs it manages. ⁠

#Haiti has taken a step toward improving regional

#Haiti has taken a step toward improving regional connectivity with the official inauguration of the upgraded #AntoineSimon International Airport in #LesCayes. The airport, which is reported to have been expanded and modernized, is now capable of receiving international flights, offering a crucial alternative to the country’s main airport in #PortauPrince, which remains affected by security concerns.
The upgrade was formally launched on March 5, 2025, by #LeslieVoltaire, President of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), alongside key government officials, including the Ministers of Public Works, Economy and Finance, Trade and Industry, and #Culture and Communication. The improvements elevate the airport’s classification from category 2B to 3B, allowing it to accommodate aircraft carrying up to 80 passengers. The rapid runway expansion from 1,500 to 1,850 meters was completed in just ten days by the construction company Vorbe & Fils.
The airport opens when #ToussaintLouverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince faces severe disruptions. Ongoing gang violence has suspended commercial flights to the capital, prompting Haiti to seek new entry points for passengers and goods.
The situation in Port-au-Prince has cut off Haiti’s southern region from major economic hubs, worsening an already fragile humanitarian situation. With the expansion of Antoine Simon International Airport, local leaders hope to revitalize trade, tourism, and humanitarian assistance delivery to the South, which has long struggled with isolation due to poor infrastructure and security risks.
The airport’s expansion follows the January 17, 2025, opening of the South International Port in Les Cayes. Together, these projects aim to boost economic activity in the region, attract investment, and facilitate the movement of people and goods. Despite the improvements, it remains unclear when major airlines will begin offering commercial flights to Les Cayes. #lunionsuite #haitianamerican #haitian #caribbean

JetBlue Airways has announced an extension of its

JetBlue Airways has announced an extension of its flight suspension to Haiti's main international airport in Port-au-Prince. Initially set to expire on April 30, the suspension will remain in place until at least June 11, 2025.⁠
⁠
As the only U.S. carrier operating direct flights between #PortauPrince and #SouthFlorida and #NewYork, JetBlue's decision comes in response to Haiti's ongoing civil unrest. The airline's primary concern is the safety and well-being of its customers and crew members.⁠
⁠
According to a JetBlue spokesman, "Due to the ongoing civil unrest in #Haiti, we have made the decision to suspend all flights to and from the country through at least June 11, 2025. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and update our plans as necessary."⁠
⁠
The extension of the flight suspension coincides with the expiration of the Federal Aviation Administration's ban on U.S. commercial and cargo airlines on March 12. Meanwhile, Haiti's Transitional Presidential Council has announced the domestic airport in #LesCayes is now capable of receiving international flights, following a runway extension. ⁠
⁠
This development is seen as a significant step forward for the development of the South, which has been cut off from the capital due to criminal gangs controlling major highways.⁠
