F-35 Pilot Safely Ejected from Plane Before It Crashed in Texas
With a complete undertaking value of $1.7 trillion {dollars}, the F-35 fighter jet hasn’t been with out issues over its 15+ 12 months improvement. A few of these issues have turned out to be harmful, as a report out of The Dallas Morning Information says that an F-35 has crashed at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Value, TX.
The pilot is protected and sound after efficiently ejecting earlier than the aircraft hit the bottom. Lockheed Martin, builder of the jet, is conscious of the scenario and launched an announcement: “We’re conscious of the F-35B crash on the shared runway at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Value and perceive that the pilot ejected efficiently. Security is our precedence, and we are going to comply with applicable investigation protocol.”
No trigger was given but as to what brought about the crash.
The crash occurred round 10 a.m. native time this morning. Native authorities obtained a number of calls in regards to the crash. White Settlement, a city close to the bottom had its cops reply. White Settlement’s police chief Christoper Prepare dinner mentioned that when his officers responded, folks had been already gathered within the highway making an attempt to get a take a look at the crash. “After we obtained right here, there have been folks in the midst of the freeway. Definitely we needed to clear up all of that, from a security perspective” he instructed the Morning Information. Prepare dinner mentioned his division can be aiding within the investigation of the crash.
The pilot was fortunate to make it out of the jet alive earlier than it crashed. Of the numerous issues the F-35 has had, a severe one was found earlier this 12 months that would’ve value the pilot his life. Lots of of F-35s had been discovered to have an issue with their seat ejection techniques. The UOkay-based firm that makes the explosive cartridges used within the ejector system mentioned there had been issues with their manufacturing. But the federal government saved the jets flying. We’ll replace this put up when extra details about the crash comes out there.

Texas Land Commissioner Buckingham redraws Texas-Oklahoma border to ensure safe water for 2 million Texans
The Texas Land Commissioner announced the Red River Boundary Commission has redrawn the Texas-Oklahoma boundary in order to ensure safe water for more than 2 million Texans.
The redraw will secure and make available approximately 30% of the drinking water supply for the surrounding area.
“As Texas Land Commissioner, it is my honor to work on behalf of all Texans and bring solutions to the table to benefit our great state. This redrawn boundary line will ensure that millions of north Texans’ water comes from a secure source in Texas,” said Commissioner Dawn Buckingham.
“I am proud of the GLO’s surveying team for playing such a significant role in settling this boundary issue by using their mapping skills and expertise. Surveying has been a vital part of the GLO since the establishment of this agency in 1836.”

In a press release regarding the move, it was explained that the shift was prompted due to a discovery in 2009 of a pump station that was required to stop operation to prohibit further introduction of Zebra mussels in Texas.
The mussels are believed to have negative impacts due to power plants spending millions removing them from clogged water intakes.

It was during this pause in operation that a question arose regarding where the pump station was located. If the pump was in Oklahoma, operating it could violate federal law prohibiting the interstate transport of zebra mussels.

“It was determined that the pump station that provides drinking water to certain parts of north Texas was inadvertently built straddling the state lines of Texas and Oklahoma,” it said.
“On October 30, 2024, the Red River Boundary Commission, composed of Texas and Oklahoma commissions, executed the Amended and Restated Texoma Area Boundary Agreement to correct the boundary issue and ensure the pump station is located wholly in Texas,” according to the statement.
