San Diego-bound flight from Atlanta blows tire, causing engine damage: FAA
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A San Diego-bound Alaska Airlines aircraft sustained engine damage Thursday after blowing a tire during takeoff in Atlanta, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The flight, which had more than 170 people on board between passengers and crew, continued on to its destination despite the damage to the right tire of the left strut and adjacent engine, per an FAA preliminary incident notice. In a statement, a spokesperson for Alaska Airlines said their flight and maintenance technicians determined it was safe to continue to San Diego, but declared an emergency landing at San Diego International Airport as a precaution to ensure additional support was available. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, landed without incident and was taken out of service by the airline shortly after for maintenance. San Diego's airport now accepts mobile drivers' licenses at TSA security The extent of the damage to the aircraft is unknown at this time, as well as what caused the tire to pop. 'While this incident is a rare occurrence, our flight crews train extensively to safely manage through many scenarios. We apologize for any concern this experience may have caused,' the Alaska Airlines spokesperson added. Aircraft tire bursts are relatively rare, but are more likely during takeoff than in landing, according to the aircraft engineering company Aeropeep. The probability of a tire burst as a plane is lifting off is about one in 10,000, as opposed to one in 100,000 in landing. Redundancy in landing equipment and strict maintenance of the aircraft can help with managing blowouts, but Aeropeep notes it can still pose a safety risk to its occupants as it can lead to bigger issues. This was the case in the deadly crash of Air France Flight 4590 back in 2000, which killed 113 people. The French government's investigation into the incident concluded the crash was caused by a rupture of the fuel tank after the plane ran over debris, triggering a tire blowout. With this safety risk in mind, pilots say flights that experience a blown tire during takeoff will either abort or return to land for an inspection once it becomes known a tire is compromised.

JSerra defeats Loyola to capture Open Division boys' soccer championship
Something had to give when JSerra and Loyola met for the CIF Southern Section Open Division boys' soccer championship Friday night at Fred Kelly Stadium on the campus of El Modena High. Both teams entered unbeaten, having given up just 10 each all season, so one goal figured to be enough to win. It was, although JSerra added an insurance goal late to prevail 2-0 and capture its third section title and second in the last three years. The seventh-seeded Cubs played their San Juan Capistrano rivals even through the first 40 minutes. JSerra began pressing early after intermission. A mixup in the back line allowed top scorer Gavin Allegaert to slip behind the defense in the penalty area and send a strike into the upper left corner of the goal with 20:53 remaining. 'It was a long ball over my head and the center back's head and it bounced out in front of me, there was miscommunication between the keeper and center back and I buried it top corner,' the UC San Diego-bound forward said of his 20th goal of the season. 'In these kinds of games scoring first is huge… whoever gets the first goal usually wins.' The goal seemed to deflate the seventh-seeded Cubs (20-1-4), who were seeking their fifth CIF title and first since 2016. Loyola, ranked third in the state, had its best chance when Josh Gallagher stole the ball deep in Lions territory, whirled and fired just wide of the post in the 22nd minute. JSerra doubled its lead when Michigan commit Jake Tatch broke free along the left sideline, crossed to Finn Wilkins, and the freshman headed it in from seven yards out with 10:38 left. 'Jake played a great ball, I saw it coming and just had to attack,' Wilkins said. Allegaert nearly made it 3-0 as the clock ticked under four minutes, but Christopher Stillwell made a diving, one-handed save. Senior goalkeeper Liam Johnson made five saves to post his eighth shutout, the best being a punch over the bar in the final 10 minutes for the Trinity League champions (17-0-1), who defeated Sunny Hills by an identical score to win the Southern Section Division 1 crown in 2023 before going on to capture the regional crown and finish No. 1 in the nation by MaxPreps. Coach Erik Kirsch's squad hopes to write a similar ending this season. 'We were expecting a very similar style to Mater Dei.' Johnson said. 'My defense does all the work. Most games I don't have to do much but I'm there when they need me.' Sign up for the L.A.
