The investigation into the plane that crashed into a fence before bursting into flames at a Texas airport showed heavy braking action, according to Michael Graham, a board member with the National Transportation and Safety Board

"What we do know is there was a heavy braking event, which appears to be an aborted takeoff. So, we do know that the brakes were effectively working before the aircraft exited the runway," Graham said Thursday. "We have approximately 1,200 feet of distinguishable heavy braking marks from the tires, looked like they were effectively trying to brake that aircraft," he said.Graham said the engines were in good condition.

The flight data recorder did not suffer heat damage, according to Graham, and will be converted to readable flight data at a lab in Washington, DC.Graham said that prior to the crash into the trees, there was no debris field found on or around the runway."The left wing had made contact with a row of trees. And basically, that's why we have a debris field, much of that is part of the wing coming apart.

Texas nurse convicted of killing 4 men with air injectionsThe Smith County jury deliberated for about an hour before finding William George Davis, of Hallsville, guilty of capital murder involving multiple victims. As a nurse, this is disgusting how people abuse the power they hold as a medical professional to harm others. Disrespectful to not only the families and patients but also the doctors who spent hours performing a complicated surgery on someone’s heart. Hope he rots ❤️ Impossible. Patriarchal toxic propaganda. Probably one of those nurses who is refusing vaccine
