Night vision goggles may have hindered helicopter pilots before DC jet collision that killed 67, experts say
Night vision goggles may have hindered the U.S. Army helicopter pilots in the moments before the deadly crash with a jet in Washington D.C., that claimed the lives of 67 people, experts have said. The technology, worn by the pilots, would have made it difficult to see the color of the lights on the passenger plane, which could have helped determine the direction in which it was traveling, as well as limiting peripheral vision. Friday saw the final day of public testimony to the National Transportation Safety Board over the fatal midair crash – which occurred almost exactly six months ago in February. Flight 5342 from Kansas was on the final approach to D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport when it collided with the Black Hawk helicopter before exploding. There were 67 people aboard the two flights when they crashed, and none survived. At Friday's hearing, experts said that, in addition to the possible hindrance caused by the use of night vision goggles, pilots also may not have been able to distinguish the aircraft from lights on the ground while the two aircraft were on a collision course. The helicopter pilots may not have known where to look for a plane that was landing on a secondary runway that most planes didn't use, experts said. 'Knowing where to look. That's key,' said Stephen Casner, an expert in human factors who used to work at NASA. Though it is still too early to identify what exactly caused the crash, with a final report from the board expected next year, a number of factors that may have contributed to the tragedy have been unearthed over the past two days of testimony. Major issues to emerge included the fact that the Black Hawk helicopter had been above prescribed levels near the airport as well as the warnings to FAA officials for years about the hazards related to the heavy chopper traffic there. Mary Schiavo, a former U.S. Department of Transportation Inspector General, told The Associated Press that both the Army and the FAA appear to share significant blame for the deadly incident. The Black Hawks' altimeters could be off by as much as 100 feet and were still considered acceptable, she told the outlet. The crew was flying an outdated model that struggled to maintain altitude, while the helicopter pilots' flying was 'loose' and under 'loose' supervision. 'It's on the individuals, God rest their souls, but it's also on the military,' Schiavo said. 'I mean, they just seem to have no urgency of anything.' Questions were also raised during the hearings by the FAA's lack of alcohol testing for air traffic controllers after the crash. Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy urged the Federal Aviation Administration to 'do better" as she pointed to warnings the agency had ignored years earlier. The D.C. collision was the first in a string of crashes and near misses this year that have alarmed officials and the traveling public, despite statistics that still show flying remains the safest form of transportation.

Will these $23 socks last my entire life? I took 150,000 steps to find out
For the first three decades of my life, I rode the nice-shoes-cheap-socks train. Then it happened. Returning from a friend's house, I discovered there was a hole in the ankle of one of my socks. My mind flooded with questions. Mostly, did anyone notice the back of my ankle exposed like Achilles at Troy? My research to avoid this ever happening again led me to Darn Tough Socks. The Vermont company's offer of an unconditional lifetime guarantee caught my eye. If they wear out, they'll ship you another pair for free. That was enough to help me overcome my trepidation of paying $23 for a pair of socks, over 10 times what I normally pay. I settled on the Quarter Midweight Hiking Socks. So far I've taken over 150,000 steps in this pair, and I've reached a decision: I plan to take many, many more. $23 at Darn Tough $22.95 at Amazon One of the reasons I get holes in my socks is a headline that said getting at least 8,000 steps a day halved mortality from all causes. I'm now an avid walker and average around 7,000-10,000 steps a day. As I've found, these socks have excellent insulation. I live in New England, so I've worn my socks in temperatures ranging from 50F to 102F. The merino wool and nylon blend did the job of keeping my feet in the Goldilocks Zone and wicking away sweat. I also appreciated the construction. The toebox is seamless and stretchy, allowing for proper toe splay. The foot is cushioned. The combination leads to less soreness. And I'm certain that Darn Tough Socks are more durable than socks you've previously owned for two reasons. First, one of my quarter-length socks tips the scales at 34 grams compared to 25 grams for a quarter-length from Fruit of Loom. (I weighed them both.) The extra density in the weave means the sock is more resistant to tearing and wear. Second, when I received my pair in the mail, I immediately started poking them with a flathead screwdriver and trying to tear them apart with my bare hands. These socks withstood it all. I haven't had to return a pair to Darn Tough to test their replacement promise, but the Guardian's Filter US editor Nick Mokey has done so in the past, and has another return in the works. 'There are no questions asked, and really no catches,' he says. 'You pay to ship them out, Darn Tough pays for the return.' I also reached out to Darn Tough to find out more, and the company replied that while it can't share the exact number of socks it has replaced, it has exchanged pairs from customers that have passed through golden retrievers, summited Everest and survived wildfires in California. The company says it benefits from offering free replacements because it gets direct feedback from consumers and data on how to improve the design, and it shows a clear commitment to quality control. Darn Tough socks are an investment. It's the type of product that you buy once, quite literally with a lifetime guarantee. If you're on your feet all day, you'll find them an upgrade over socks that are sold in bulk. People who wear socks in lieu of slippers would enjoy them because they provide cushioning while also being comfortable to wear in both hot and cold weather. I know the holidays are some time away – but Darn Tough Socks would make a great stocking stuffer. Socks within socks, imagine that.

Sydney Sweeney breaks silence on American Eagle woke backlash with cryptic post
Sydney Sweeney made a rare return to social media following widespread backlash over her American Eagle denim campaign. The 27-year-old actress, who stars in the label's autumn ad rollout with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,' found herself at the center of controversy. On Friday, American Eagle defended the Euphoria star, insisting she did nothing wrong after critics labeled the campaign 'Nazi propaganda.' Some interpreted the 'great jeans' slogan as a reference to Sweeney's genetic background—her mixed European ancestry and rural Idaho upbringing. The phrase 'great genes' has historically been linked to celebrating whiteness, thinness, and conventional attractiveness, leading some to call the campaign a tone-deaf marketing misstep, according to a Salon report. On Saturday, Sydney shared a cryptic and rare post on Instagram: a photo of a bouquet of pale pink roses with a white heart sticker attached, leaving fans guessing. In the campaign visuals, the Spokane, Washington-born actress—who is set to portray boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic—models various denim looks. In an accompanying video, Sydney buttons up her jeans and reflects, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color… my genes are blue.' A second advert sees the camera pan down Sydney's chest as she models a plunging denim jumpsuit. She muses: 'My body's composition is determined by my genes...' before exclaiming: 'Hey, eyes up here' as the camera cuts back to her face. The advert has divided fans, however, with one critic calling the clip 'one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while.' Taking to social media, many expressed their shock at messaging, which they aligned to Nazi propaganda. Outraged fans penned: 'So Sydney (& American Eagle) somehow expect audiences to not interpret this visual as a euphemism for eugenics and white supremacy?' 'The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign is just modern day Nazi propaganda. Like it's wild how blatant it is. Things are weird right now, man.'; The phrase 'great genes' is 'historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness,' which it said made 'this campaign seem to be a tone-deaf marketing move,' a Salon report on the backlash read 'the most nazi part of the Sydney sweeney add for me was the use of the word offspring'; ''Jeans (Genes) are past down from parent to offspring' 'My jeans (genes) are blue' 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans (genes)' Nothing is ever a coincidence, this is eugenics'; TikTok named Angie under the handle @vital_media_marketing then reviewed the ad and pointed out what she felt were problematic elements with the underlying message. Angie said: 'As it's panning up her body and on her face and her features, she's literally talking about her family tree and the genetics that have been handed down to her, her blonde hair and her blue eyes, and how great they are.' Many people panned the tone of the ad campaign on American Eagle's Instagram page, as one user quipped, It's giving "Subtle 1930's Germany."' Yet many were quick to defend Sydney, branding the backlash 'unhinged'. They shared on X/Twitter: 'I'm not sure how to say this nicely but if you think a jeans ad with a pun about Sydney Sweeney being pretty is a nazi dogwhistle you genuinely need to put the phone down for a while.'; 'everyone is seriously reading too much into this and y'all need to go take a hike or something because sydney sweeney is literally just promoting jeans, not 'nazi propaganda'' 'The claim that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad is pro-eugenics because of a 'good genes/jeans' pun is genuinely unhinged. It's a denim campaign, not a manifesto. Not every blonde with blue eyes is a Nazi. Some of you need a history book — and a nap'; 'You guys don't have to like Sydney Sweeney or the ways she promotes herself but don't you think comparing those Jean commercials to nazi propaganda is a tad extreme?' Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Sweeney and American Eagle for further comment on the story. Sweeney said in a July 23 news release about the fall campaign: 'There is something so effortless about American Eagle.' She said of the clothier: 'It's the perfect balance of being put-together but still feeling like yourself.' The Euphoria star continued: 'Their commitment to creating pieces that make you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin is something that resonates with me. 'It's rare to find a brand that grows with you, the way American Eagle has for generations.' The Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood actress wrapped up in saying, 'They have literally been there with me through every version of myself.' American Eagle Outfitters president Jennifer Foyle opened up about the ad campaign, which is slated to raise money for domestic violence charities, in the news release. 'This fall season, American Eagle is celebrating what makes our brand iconic – trendsetting denim that leads, never follows,' Foyle said. 'Innovative fits and endless versatility reflect how our community wears their denim: mixed, matched, layered and lived in.' The fashion executive explained why Sweeney made for the perfect focal point of the promotion. 'With Sydney Sweeney front and center, she brings the allure, and we add the flawless wardrobe for the winning combo of ease, attitude and a little mischief,' Foyle said.
