Report says thick smoke filled cabin of Delta plane that took off from Atlanta
Published May 21, 2025 • 2 minute read A Delta airplane takes off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Nov. 22, 2022. Photo by Brynn Anderson / AP Photo The smoke that filled the cabin of a Delta flight as it took off from the Atlanta airport in February was so thick that the lead flight attendant had trouble seeing past the first row of passengers and the pilots donned oxygen masks as a precaution.

Create Account The National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report Wednesday that the plane quickly returned to the airport on the morning of Feb. 24 and evacuated all 99 people aboard. Two people sustained minor injuries during the evacuation, but no one was hurt by the smoke. Initially, the airline described the incident as just a haze inside the Boeing 717 aircraft. Delta didn't immediately respond to questions about the incident Wednesday afternoon. The flight attendants reported that the smoke began near one of the doors in the front of the plane before it also started coming out of all the vents throughout the plane, according to the report. The flight attendants tried contacting the pilots but initially couldn't reach them because they were focused on emergency procedures and flying the plane. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The flight attendants assured passengers they were trained for the situation and asked them to remain calm. Shortly after the smoke appeared, the NTSB said, the pilots got a low oil pressure alarm for the right engine, so they shut it down as they were returning to the airport. When maintenance personnel inspected that engine after the plane landed they found little or no oil in the engine. RECOMMENDED VIDEO The NTSB hasn't determined if that oil leak was the cause of the smoke. That won't be established until the agency completes its full report sometime next year. The plane was met by firefighters when it landed, and when the pilots opened the flight deck door, they 'noticed a tremendous amount of smoke in the cabin, and the captain immediately ordered an evacuation,' the report said. Passengers evacuated the plane through a combination of the emergency slides at the front and back of the plane and climbing off the wing. The flight's destination had been Columbia, South Carolina.

Case of brain-dead pregnant woman kept on life support in Georgia raises tricky questions
Published May 16, 2025 • 5 minute read Emory University Hospital Midtown is seen on Thursday, May 15, 2025, in Atlanta. Photo by Brynn Anderson / AP ATLANTA (AP) — The case of a pregnant woman in Georgia who has been on life support since she was declared brain dead three months ago has given rise to complicated questions about fetal personhood and abortion laws.

Create Account Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse and mother, was about two months pregnant on Feb. 19 when she was declared brain dead, according to an online fundraising page started by her mother. Doctors said Georgia's strict anti-abortion law requires that she remain on life support until the fetus has developed enough to be delivered, her mother wrote. The law, one of a wave of measures enacted in conservative states after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, restricts abortion once cardiac activity is detected and gives personhood rights to a fetus. Smith's mother says it has left her family without a say in a difficult situation, and with her due date still months away, the family is left wondering whether the baby will be born with disabilities or can even survive. Some activists, many of them Black women like Smith, say it raises issues of racial equity. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Emory Healthcare, which runs the hospital, has not explained how doctors decided to keep Smith on life support except to say in a statement they considered 'Georgia's abortion laws and all other applicable laws.' The state adopted a law in 2019 to ban abortion after cardiac activity can be detected, about six weeks into pregnancy, that came into effect after Roe v. Wade was overturned. That law does not explicitly address Smith's situation, but allows abortion to preserve the life or physical health of the pregnant woman. Three other states have similar bans that kick in around the six-week mark and 12 bar abortion at all stages of pregnancy. David S. Cohen, a professor at Drexel University's Thomas R. Kline School of Law in Philadelphia, said the hospital might be most concerned about part of the law that gives fetuses legal rights as 'members of the species Homo sapiens.'

Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Cohen said Emory may therefore consider Smith and the fetus as two patients and that once Smith was on life support, they had a legal obligation to keep the fetus alive, even after she died. 'These are the kind of cases that law professors have been talking about for a long time when they talk about fetal personhood,' he said. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Personhood divide within anti-abortion movement Anti-abortion groups are divided over whether they should support personhood provisions, which are on the books in at least 17 states, according to the advocacy group Pregnancy Justice. Some argue that fertilized eggs, embryos and fetuses should be considered people with the same rights as those already born. This personhood concept seeks to give them rights under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which says a state can't 'deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process or law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Some saw personhood as politically impractical, especially after personhood amendments to state constitutions were rejected by voters in Colorado, Mississippi and North Dakota between 2008 and 2014. Those who steered away sought laws and restrictions on abortion that stopped short of personhood, although they were often informed by the concept. Personhood proponents argue this lacks moral clarity. Some personhood proponents have been sidelined in national anti-abortion groups; the National Right to Life Committee cut ties with its Georgia Right to Life affiliate in 2014 after the state wing opposed bills that restricted abortion but allowed exceptions for rape and incest. Unequal access to care for Black women This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Associated Press has not been able to reach Smith's mother, April Newkirk. But Newkirk told Atlanta TV station WXIA that her daughter went to a hospital complaining of headaches and was given medication and released. Then, her boyfriend awoke to her gasping for air and called 911. Emory University Hospital determined she had blood clots in her brain and she was declared brain dead. It's not clear what Smith said when she went to the hospital or whether the care she was given was standard for her symptoms. But Black women often complain their pain isn't taken seriously, and an Associated Press investigation found that health outcomes for Black women are worse because of circumstances linked to racism and unequal access to care. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Monica Simpson, executive director of SisterSong, the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging Georgia's abortion law, said: 'Black women must be trusted when it comes to our health care decisions.' 'Like so many Black women, Adriana spoke up for herself. She expressed what she felt in her body, and as a health care provider, she knew how to navigate the medical system,' Simpson said, noting that by the time Smith was diagnosed 'it was already too late.' It's unclear whether the clots in Smith's brain were related to her pregnancy. But her situation is undoubtedly alarming for those seeking solutions to disparities in the maternal mortality rate among Black women. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Black women had a mortality rate of 50.3 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2023. That's more than three times the rate for white women, and it is higher than the rates for Hispanic and Asian women. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. While Smith is on a ventilator and likely other life-support devices, being declared brain dead means she is dead. Some experts refer to 'life support' as 'maintenance measures,' 'organ support' or 'somatic support,' which relates to the body as distinct from the mind. Emory has not made public what is being done to allow Smith's fetus to continue to develop. In another case in Florida, doctors successfully delivered the baby of a 31-year-old woman who was declared brain-dead while 22 weeks pregnant, but not without weeks of sustained monitoring, testing and medical care. The woman's family wanted to keep the fetus, physicians with the University of Florida College of Medicine said in a 2023 paper. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. On her first day of admission, doctors administered hormones to raise her blood pressure and placed a feeding tube. After she was transferred to an intensive care unit, an obstetric nurse stayed by her bedside continuously to monitor the fetus' heart rate and movements. She was on a ventilator, regularly received steroids and hormones, and needed multiple antibiotics to treat pneumonia. Her medical team encompassed multiple specialties: obstetrics, neonatology, radiology and endocrinology. Doctors performed surgery to remove the fetus at 33 weeks when its heart rate fell, and the baby appeared to be in good health at birth. 'We don't have great science to guide clinical decision making in these cases,' said Dr. Kavita Arora, an obstetrician and gynecologist in North Carolina who raised concerns about the effect of prolonged ventilator use on a fetus. 'There simply aren't a lot of cases like this.' The 2023 paper warned that 'costs should not be underestimated.' While it is unclear how much it will cost to keep Smith on life support until the fetus can be delivered, or who will be responsible for that cost, her mother's GoFundMe page mentions Smith's 7-year-old son and notes that the baby could have significant disabilities as it aims to raise $275,000.

Cannes makes it official: No nudity on the red carpet

CANNES, France — The Cannes Film Festival red carpet is perhaps the most rigidly controlled red carpet in the world. Now, the festival has added a new stipulation: no nudity.

Create Account While nudity was never previously endorsed at the festival, Cannes updated its dress policy on the eve of its 78th edition to read that 'nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival.' While a no-shirt-no-service policy is standard in places far less glamorous than Cannes, the policy tweak sparked widespread attention Monday because of the recent trend of sheer and 'nude dresses,' such as Bianca Censori's Grammys appearance. Asked for clarity on the policy, Cannes press officers said the festival 'made explicit in its charter certain rules that have long been in effect.' 'The aim is not to regulate attire per se, but to prohibit full nudity on the red carpet, in accordance with the institutional framework of the event and French law,' it said. Cannes also noted that 'voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Still, skin has often been flashed at the French Riviera festival by celebrities like Bella Hadid, Naomi Campbell and Kendall Jenner, and dress policies have long been flouted by celebrities. For evening premieres at the Palais' Grand Theatre Lumiere, black tie and evening wear is required. Though not in recent years, Cannes security officials have sometimes turned away women for not wearing heels. The festival also banned selfies in 2018 — Cannes director Thierry Fremaux called them 'grotesque' — but A-listers sometimes snap a quick photo on the Palais steps. The festival kicks off Tuesday.

(AP) — Rain made for a soggy 151st Kentucky Derby on Saturday, with the Churchill Downs dirt strip listed as sloppy and horse racing fans protecting their fancy hats and clothing with clear plastic ponchos. A field of 19 3-year-olds was set to run 1 1/4 miles for a $3.1 million prize and the garland of red roses shortly after 7 p.m. ET. Advertisement Journalism was the 4-1 wagering favorite in the hours leading up to America's most famous race. Rain fell on and off throughout the day and the 60-degree (15-Celsius) temperature made it feel cool for the horses and humans. That didn't stop fans from betting, drinking, eating, smoking and shopping for souvenirs. It was the first Derby run on a sloppy track since 2019, when Country House won via disqualification. ___ AP horse racing:
