Nearly 5,000 pilots are suspected to have lied about having mental health conditions and other health disorders which would prevent them from flying.The Washington Post broke the news that nearly 600 of those pilots being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) fly planes for passenger flights and over 4,800 are veterans receiving disability benefits. The Post reported:QuoteThe pilots under scrutiny are military veterans who told the Federal Aviation Administration that they are healthy enough to fly, yet failed to report — as required by law — that they were also collecting veterans benefits for disabilities that could bar them from the cockpit....FAA spokesman Matthew Lehner acknowledged in a statement that the agency has been investigating approximately 4,800 pilots “who might have submitted incorrect or false information as part of their medical applications.” The FAA has now closed about half of those cases, he said, and has ordered about 60 pilots — who Lehner said “posed a clear danger to aviation safety” — to cease flying on an emergency basis while their records are reviewed.Data collected by the National Transportation Safety Board shows that pilots’ medical issues were the cause of 9 percent of fatal aviation accidents from 2012 to 2022.

More than 100,000 migrants have poured into New York City since April 2022, overwhelming the government's capacity to house and feed them. Many residents of the city and surrounding areas are growing increasingly resentful of the measures Adams has approved, from kicking wedding parties out of hotels to shipping migrants to suburban counties and even housing adult men in the gyms of actively-used elementary schools. New Yorkers are also alarmed by scenes like these: Over the past year, I've been covering the migrant crisis in NYCThese last 3 weeks, I have seen Scene that were out of a movie where I found 100s of migrants sleeping on the streets outside the Roosevelt Hotel NYC that racked up millions of views on the internet which forced… pic.twitter.com/KBwFBUacRx— Viral News NYC (@ViralNewsNYC) August 21, 2023The latest flashpoint: The city's housing of 3,000 migrants in a tent city on Randall's Island, an expanse along the East River between Northern Manhattan and Queens dominated by parkland and recreational facilities.
