Two firefighters died while working to extinguish a raging fire Wednesday aboard an Italian cargo ship that was loading automobiles at Port Newark in New Jersey, the authorities said. The firefighters “made an attempt to extinguish the fire and, because of the intense heat, they got pushed back out of the area where the initial fire was,” Chief Rufus Jackson of the Newark Fire Department said in a news conference early Thursday. The firefighters who died on the ship, the Grande Costa d’Avorio, were not immediately identified. “This was a tragedy, and my heart goes out to the family of each of these members and also the Newark Fire Department,” Chief Jackson said. “We’re going to continue to work, and we’re going to continue to pray for the family of the two members who were lost tonight.”Port Authority police officers responded after 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday to a fire on a ship that was docked at Port Newark, said Lenis Valens, a spokeswoman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

An "unruly" passenger aboard an American Airlines flight forced an emergency landing this week. The traveler allegedly rushed at the cockpit after she couldn't get a cocktail, according to reports. "I started freaking out because so many people started getting up on me," Miles told the news outlet. However, law enforcement ultimately dismissed the charge against Miles following an investigation, the airport told Insider on Friday. The FBI told Insider "no further action is planned unless additional information or evidence comes to light."
Passengers onboard United Airlines flight 2038 were in for a slithering surprise when they found a snake on their plane Monday. Unlike in the 2006 cult film "Snakes on a Plane" starring Samuel L. Jackson, however, this lone garter snake was not venomous. The airline did not clarify at what point the snake was discovered or how it got on the plane. No injuries were reported, and there was no impact to airport operations, the authority said. In 2016, passengers on Aeromexico flight 23 were joined by a snake hanging right above their seats.
Oct 18 (Reuters) - The unexpected appearance of a live snake on a plane caused some turbulence among business-class passengers aboard a United Airlines jet at the end of a flight from Florida to New Jersey. The reptile stowaway, identified as a harmless garter snake, turned up on United Airlines Flight 2038 from Tampa shortly after landing Monday afternoon at Newark Liberty International Airport, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. There were no injuries, no impact to airport operations, and the plane later departed Newark, she said. No mention was made by any of the parties involved as to how the snake might have gotten aboard a commercial airline flight. Monday's incident was not the first real-life instance of a serpentine creature hitching a ride aboard a commercial jet.
