Sick dog on flight diverts California-bound jetliner to Minnesota, airline says
A passenger's dog who fell ill in the cabin of an airliner diverted the California-bound flight to a Minnesota airport, Delta Air Lines reported.
Flight 694 took off from Detroit Metro Airport bound for Los Angeles International Airport on Monday, May 26, the airline told McClatchy News in an email.
After a dog became ill in the cabin, the flight landed at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to allow the passenger and animal to disembark, the airline said.
A veterinarian on the flight also provided care to the dog and medical personnel met the flight when it landed, Delta said.
'The safety of our customers and people comes before everything else at Delta,' the airline said.
The diversion caused a 2 ½-hour delay for the 181 passengers aboard, Delta said. The flight continued to Los Angeles and landed safely.
The airline did not provide information on the dog's condition, but the pilot told passengers the pet would be all right, KTLA reported.

Abandoned building fire in San Diego burns for over an hour
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — It took dozens of firefighters an hour to put out a fire that broke out in an abandoned building in San Diego Sunday night. 75 San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel, along with air support, worked to douse a fire in an abandoned two-story commercial building in the 3600 block of Ocean View Boulevard in the Mountain View neighborhood that started around 7:49 p.m. Sunday. The SDFD battalion chief said firefighters brought in a water tower, and that the building had previously been burned, making it hazardous for crews to go inside initially. Firefighters were able to put the fire out by 8:52 p.m. No injuries were reported. The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department was assisted by the National City Fire Department and the Coronado Fire Department. A fire investigator has been assigned to investigate the fire.

6 missing at sea after small plane crashes off San Diego
A search was underway Sunday night for six missing people after a small plane crashed in the ocean off of San Diego that afternoon, authorities said. The U.S. Coast Guard received a report at 12:45 p.m. that a twin-engine Cessna 414 had crashed around three miles west of Point Loma. A debris field was located off of the coast in an area where the water was estimated to be 200 feet deep, according to the Coast Guard. Multiple agencies worked together to scour the area for any survivors Sunday afternoon and evening. This included air and marine Coast Guard crews, air and marine Customs & Border Protection crews, San Diego Harbor Police boat crews and San Diego Lifeguard crews. No one had been found as of 11:30 p.m., Coast Guard Petty Officer Ryan Graves told The Times. The Coast Guard Cutter Sea Otter crew will remain on scene overnight to continue the search, and helicopter crews were set to rejoin the effort at first light, he said. Local resident Tyson Wislofsky witnessed the crash while surfing near Point Loma on Sunday afternoon. "I saw him come down at angle. He wasn't flying straight to the ground," Wislofsky told NBC4 News. "The next time he came out of the clouds, he went straight into the water. Full throttle." The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash. Information on the the identity of those missing was not immediately available.

Salmonella recall of 20 million eggs from Walmart, Safeway, Ralphs, among others
Another salmonella outbreak caused the recall of 1.7 million dozen eggs — meaning roughly more than 20 million less eggs to fry — and has sickened people in seven states. The aforementioned eggs were distributed to Walmart, Safeway, chains owned by Kroger and various other independent and chain supermarkets. Hilmar, California's August Egg Company, a division of Gemperle Enterprises, produced the eggs and issued the recall Friday. 'August Egg Company is not selling fresh shell eggs at this time,' the company-written, FDA-posted recall notice said. 'Our firm has voluntarily been diverting eggs to an egg-breaking plant for over 30 days, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any potential foodborne pathogens.' READ MORE: Public health alert: Deadly E. coli found in beef sent to Whole Foods stores Packaging for the recalled eggs will have plant code P-6562 or CA5330 with the Julian Dates between 32 to 126. The eggs that went to Walmart stores had sell by dates from March 4 through June 19. Other retailers got eggs with 'sell by dates' from March 4 through June 4. August Egg says these eggs went to stores in California, Washington, Illinois, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, and Indiana. The recall section of Walmart's website says this also involves its stores in Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin. ▪ Marketside (a Walmart store brand): Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. ▪ First Street (a Smart & Final house brand): Cage Free Large Brown loose eggs. ▪ Clover: Organic Large Brown Eggs, one dozen. ▪ Nulaid: One dozen Medium Brown Cage Free, one dozen Jumbo Brown Cage Free. ▪ O Organics: Cage Free Large Brown, six eggs; and Large Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Safeway and other Albertson's-owned stores. ▪ Raley's (store brand): Large Cage Free Brown, 12 eggs: Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. ▪ Simple Truth: Cage Free Large Brown and Medium Brown 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Food 4 Less, Ralphs and other Kroger-owned chains. ▪ Sun Harvest: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. ▪ Sunnyside: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; and Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. Saturday's outbreak update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 79 people have been sickened in this outbreak with 21 hospitalizations. Of those 79, 63 are in California. The remaining 16 break down as Nevada and Washington (four each); Arizona, three; Nebraska and New Jersey (two each); and Kentucky, one. Salmonella outbreaks tend to be very undercounted because most people recover without medical attention. The CDC estimates about 1.35 million people in the United States will get salmonella each year. Of that number, 26,400 will be hospitalized, usually driven to the hospital by bloody diarrhea, and 420 will die. Usually, salmonella just means a few days of diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomachaches. If you have any of the recalled eggs listed above, return them to the store for a refund or throw them deep into the garbage. If you have any questions about the recalls, call August Farms at 800-710-2554, noon to 8 p.m., Eastern time.
