American Airlines plane that caught fire had engine parts installed incorrectly, NTSB finds
The American Airlines flight that caught fire soon after taking off from Denver International Airport in March had several parts installed incorrectly and fuel leaks, according to a preliminary report released Thursday. The Dallas-bound aircraft had one loose part inside the right engine installed in the wrong direction and fuel leaking from the fitting of another part that was also fastened incorrectly, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report. Soon after the plane took off, the crew noticed issues with the right engine, the report said. "The captain noted high engine vibration indications for the right engine," the report stated, while the crew discussed whether they needed to divert before contacting American Airlines dispatchers. They landed safely, but soon after arriving at a gate, passengers and crew members noticed fire and smoke filling the cabin. Images and video showed passengers evacuating the aircraft and standing on the wings of the plane. "One of the flight attendants tried calling the flight crew" while another "knocked on the cockpit door to alert the flight crew," the report said. The NTSB report also showed streaks on the outside of the engine from the leaking fuel. The plane was towed to a hangar for examination. During an inspection of the damage, investigators saw that the plane "exhibited heat/smoke/burn indications near the right engine nacelle, right wing, right side of the fuselage aft of the wing, the right main landing gear, and the right main landing gear wheel well," the report said. In addition, "the lockwire of a fuel fitting on the variable stator vane (VSV)" was loose and installed in the incorrect direction, in addition to other issues. Further examination of the engines found that one fan blade platform was fractured, according to the report. Another part of the plane that controls airflow through the turbine's compressor was found to be "incorrectly fastened and secured … allowing fuel to leak from the fitting." American Airlines said 172 passengers and six crew members were on board at the time of the incident. The airplane had "substantial damage" while 12 passengers and the six crew members sustained minor injuries, according to the report. Fox News Digital has reached out to American Airlines.

New California fire maps show which areas in the Sacramento region are most at risk. See where your home stands
A recent CBS News study revealed that more homes in the Sacramento area are at risk of wildfire. The findings show that more than 90% of homes are in the Wildland Urban Interface, or areas where urban communities and houses meet forested or natural landscaped areas. "Well, it's very surprising," said Jenny Ferreira, who lives in Elk Grove. The findings come as a surprise to some residents like Ferreira. CBS News collected data that shows the number of homes in the WUIs has exploded in Elk Grove, specifically in the southern area near the Sky River Casino. According to the data, 85 homes were in the WUI in 1990 compared to close to 10,000 homes in 2020, and the area just keeps growing. Cal Fire recently released fire hazard severity maps, but on the maps, one part of Elk Grove is not highlighted as a severity zone. CBS News Sacramento got answers directly from the state fire marshal on why. "Hazard is really the likelihood of a fire and risk is really looking at the damage the wildfire is going to do," said California State Fire Marshal Chief Daniel Berlant. Berlant said the Cal Fire maps only look at hazards, which are based on long-term factors like topography, weather, fire history and vegetation type that cannot change, whereas fire risk can change. "What was the home built out of? Does that home have defensible space? Is there water supply? Is there a fuel break? Is there fire protection?" Berlant said. CBS News Sacramento asked him if it is safe to build communities in the WUIs. Chief Berlant responded, yes, as long as you follow Cal Fire's building codes, home harden and have five feet of defensible space. "The challenge is 90% of homes in wildfire-prone areas were built before this current code went into effect in 2008," Berlant said. "Our challenge is how can we help homeowners retrofit their home." Consumnes Fire defines most areas around Elk Grove as grassland. Cal Fire said if a fire were to ignite here, it would not burn as severely as in a mountain community that is surrounded by forest. Although that does not mean the homes are completely out of the woods. According to CBS News' data collected from the First Street Foundation, 35% of homes in the Sacramento region could be at "major risk" of wildfire in the next 30 years and 19% of homes at "severe risk." "I might look into converting my grass into rocks," said Vonn Lam, who lives in Elk Grove. Lam has lived in the area since 2005 and never felt threatened by fire, but it is on her radar now. "I do need to be mindful of all the vegetation near me," Lam said. "I am very worried about the insurance going up and a lot of insurance is not covering California because of the fires." Berlant said the issue is that there is no consistency with risk models, which are typically what insurance companies use to determine who to insure. "While we are mapping hazards, insurance companies are mapping risk," Berlant said. Cal Fire is researching how fire spreads from one home to another to better understand risk. "Regardless, if you live near an area that is near a field, a grassland, a forested area, you should be prepared," Berlant said. We cannot change the terrain, but we can change how we live in the terrain - working together to prevent another devastating wildfire.

Lansing-area teen dead, another injured, after a power line electrocution incident
One teenager is dead and another hospitalized after a power line electrocution incident near Lansing, Michigan. The accident happened Tuesday near an apartment building in Leslie, according to a report from Leslie Police Chief Evan Bennehoff. While the incident is still under investigation, officers learned "the boys touched the power line with a metal pole," the police chief said. The Leslie Fire Department responded to the call on Worthington Place Drive. A Consumers Energy spokesperson said as a safety measure after the accident, the company cut off the electric circuit to the area, affecting service to 488 customers. "While we do not have updates on the condition of the injured individual, our thoughts are with their loved ones during this difficult time, and we are hoping for a full recovery," the company said. WLNS, the CBS affiliate in Lansing, said in its report the fatality was a 14-year-old and the injured boy was 15.
