SS United States, long docked in Philly, goes under the waves

The formerly Philadelphia-docked SS United States now rests at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Why it matters: So ends the vessel's strange odyssey from the United States' largest ocean liner to Philly landmark to world's largest artificial reef . Driving the news: The controlled sinking began Wednesday afternoon roughly 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin-Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The sinking was slow going and stretched on for hours, but it was all over around 10pm when the ship fully disappeared into the water. Zoom in: The SS United States now joins a smorgasbord of other sunken vessels and artificial reefs for divers to explore off the beach. Plus: The ship's iconic red-white-and-blue smokestacks, as well as radar mast and a massive five-blade propeller were removed before the sinking — all of which will be incorporated into a land-based museum for the ship nearby. 👷 How it works: No explosives were used to sink the ship. Instead, crews strategically placed openings in the ship's hull and underwent a controlled flooding, which allowed it to rest in an upright position on the Gulf floor. Several compartments and lower deck areas that were deemed unsafe were also sealed

FAA lifts nationwide ground stop after 5 hours, including at NJ, NY airports

The Federal Aviation Administration issued ground stops nationwide for about five hours Friday, including at all of the tri-state area's international airports. The FAA advisory had cited extraordinary circumstances and reasons of safety, according to a social media post by Flightradar24, which tracks air traffic in real time. In a news conference at the White House on Friday night, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said the outage was due to an “incredibly old air traffic control system” that resulted in routers being overloaded with data on Friday, causing an “inconsistency in the data” around 3:36 p.m. Friday. At 8:15 p.m. Friday, the ground stop was lifted, Duffy said. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, speaking alongside Duffy in the White House press briefing room, said there was no evidence Friday of a cyberattack. Duffy called on Congress to urgently appropriate billions of dollars in new funding to modernize an antiquated air traffic control system that is currently dependent on a combination of technologies that date back to the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating

Philadelphia's Kratom and Hemp Crackdown Set to Kick In, Permit Rules Still a Mystery

A sweeping new Philadelphia ordinance restricting the sale of kratom and intoxicating hemp products is set to take effect Thursday, Nov. 12, carrying fines of up to $2,000 per day for violations and no grace period for stores to come into compliance. The law adds an entirely new chapter to the city code targeting what it calls intoxicating substances, but it leaves unanswered how the city plans to inspect shops or respond to complaints once the rules are live.
