Notes for Saturday September 21 & Sunday September 22, 2019
Today
we talk with Director
Robert
Adetuyi (Stomp
the Yard, Bring It On)
about his new film STAND!
This film transports us to Winnipeg,1919 in the grips of violent
anti-immigrant riots and a general strike that altered the course of
history. STAND! follows
Ukrainian immigrant Stefan, smitten with his Jewish suffragette
neighbor, Rebecca, but family and anti-immigrant veterans oppose the
would-be Romeo and Juliet. When a movement develops to better the
lives of immigrants, Stefan, Rebecca and a city of immigrants take on
the halls of power in an inspirational, but high stakes, final stand.

An
Armstrong County man suspected of driving under the influence
Wednesday in New Kensington told police he tried to run away because
he was wanted on a warrant, but was “too fat” to get away. Now,
31-year-old Danial James Hilton Dopson faces charges of aggravated
assault, resisting arrest, escape, driving under the influence, drug
possession, and traffic violations. He remained in Westmoreland
County Prison on Thursday after failing to post $50,000 bond. New
Kensington police Officer Jerry Hobeck said that, after a vehicle
pursuit of Dopson, he drew his gun and told Dopson to get on the
ground. Dopson eventually complied. However, as Hobeck went to arrest
Dopson, he got up and tried to run. Hobeck was able to arrest Dopson
after a brief struggle. According to the complaint, Dopson had an
“overpowering odor of alcoholic beverage emanating off his breath
and his speech was slow and slurred.” Dopson allegedly told police,
“I tried to run, but I realized I was too
fat.”

A
transatlantic flight was forced to divert to the Republic of Ireland
because a pilot spilled a cup of coffee on the aircraft's controls.
According to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, the Airbus
A330-243, operated by Condor, was traveling from Frankfurt in Germany
to CancĂșn in Mexico on February 6th when it was forced to jettison
fuel and divert to Shannon airport. The 49-year-old pilot, who has
over 13,000 hours of flying experience, had been given a cup of
coffee without a lid by cabin crew and accidentally knocked it over
as the plane was flying over the North Atlantic Ocean, carrying 11
crew and 326 passengers. Some of the liquid spilled onto the audio
control panel, which became very hot and produced smoke and a burning
smell. The damage caused “significant communication difficulty for
the flight crew,” and forced them to wear oxygen masks. The
equipment became so hot that one of the buttons on the control panel
began to melt, which prompted the pilot to divert. The Air Accidents
Investigation Branch said there were no injuries and that the airline
had since changed its procedures to ensure cup lids are provided for
flights on all routes.
