An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport early Thursday morning.

The incident took place around 1 a.m. as AA flight 1644 was arriving from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).

The aircraft departed DFW at 10:45 p.m. and was scheduled to land at LAX at 11:54 p.m.

Los Angeles Fire Department personnel were on the scene when the plane safely landed on the runway more than an hour behind schedule.

It was unclear exactly what was wrong with the aircraft but freelance media firm KNN reported there was some type of issue with its front landing gear.

No injuries were reported in the incident.

Cellphone cameras captured police officers in the city of San Bernardino violently beating a man earlier this year, leaving him with serious injuries in an incident that authorities say is now under investigation.  

The beating unfolded on June 6 at around 8 p.m. near the Kwik Stop Dairy, located at 133 East 40^th Street, according to a press release from the attorneys representing the man arrested.  

An employee of Kwik Stop Dairy, Billy Hill was reportedly walking between his employer’s business and another business when he was approached by a San Bernardino Police Department officer who “cleared him and waved him to leave,” Hill’s attorneys said.  

Hill’s lawyers then allege that two other SBPD officers approached Hill and attempted to take him into custody.  

In footage of the incident captured by a bystander, Hill is seen and heard asking officers why they are arresting him, as they attempt to get his hands behind his back and push him toward the hood of a patrol vehicle.

“Mr. Hill was immediately grabbed and struck by two of the SBPD officers. Within seconds, a third SBPD officer ran to the scene and grabbed Mr. Hill,” the release stated. “Mr. Hill had a handcuff placed on his right hand while the third SBPD officer struggled with his left hand.” 

Moments later, the video shows one of the three officers pull out his stun gun and use it on Hill’s left leg as he tries to get that officer to stop using the stun gun with his free hand.  

That’s when the video shows the officer with the stun gun back off, pull out his baton and strike Hill in the lower legs more than a dozen times.  

“The SBPD officer used both hands and used his full force while striking Mr. Hill violently sixteen times in motions similar to swinging a baseball bat,” Hill’s lawyers said.  

Hill reportedly suffered broken bones in both legs.  

Lawyers for Hill say that it was later learned that officers were searching for a suspect involved in a hit-and-run that was unrelated to Hill.  

In body-worn camera footage of the incident released by SBPD, Hill is seen telling a person behind him to record audio and video of the arrest while he repeatedly questions the two officers.  

He also does not appear to comply when ordered to put his hands on his head as the officers moved in on him.  

In a statement released just after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, San Bernardino Police Chief Darren L. Goodman said that the department is aware of the video showing officers using force during the arrest.  

“The content of this video has understandably raised concerns within our community,” the statement, posted to X, formerly Twitter, stated in part. “We recognize the public’s concern and interest in this matter and ask for patience as we conduct a meticulous investigation. It is essential that the process is allowed to proceed without bias, ensuring a fair and just outcome.”

Chief Goodman also encouraged anyone with information about the incident or anyone with additional footage to contact the police department.  

Taco Bell fans from all generations will have the opportunity to enjoy some gone-but-not-forgotten menu items at three Southern California restaurants.

Beginning Thursday, Taco Bell will roll out its “Nostalgic Menu” exclusively at three stores in Orange County, giving longtime fans the chance to experience some of the most beloved items from years past.

Five items, each representing the decade from which they debuted, will be added to menus Thursday for only a few short days at Taco Bell restaurants located in Brea, Fullerton and Irvine.

The returning items are part of a menu test, Taco Bell officials said, meant to celebrate some of the fast food company’s “most mouth-watering, iconic hits through the decades.”

The Nostalgic Menu includes the following items, representing their respective decades:

• Tostada (1960s): The Tostada is made with a crispy corn tostada shell, layered with refried beans, red sauce, lettuce and shredded cheese. The Tosta was one of Taco Bell’s original menu items and will be available for purchase at $2.19
• Green Burrito (1970s): The Green Burrito is filled with refried beans, onions, shredded cheddar and green sauce made with green chili, tomatillos, jalapeno peppers and spices. The Green Burrito was a popular ’70s menu item and can be had in 2024 for $2.49.
• Meximelt (1980s): The ’80s favorite is filled with pico de gallo, a blend of mozzarella, cheddar and monterey jack cheese melted with seasoned beef in a tortilla, priced at $2.99.
• Beef Gordita Supreme (1990s): The Gordita, an iconic Taco Bell item from the ’90s, is made using warm flatbread, seasoned beef, reduced-fat sour cream, lettuce, cheese blend and topped with diced tomatoes. The Gordita goes for $2.99
• Caramel Apple Empanada (2000s): The post-Y2K creation is a crispy dessert filled with apple pieces and a creamy filling with caramel notes, available for $2.99.

These Taco Bell fan-favorites are available only at the following stores for a limited time:

• Irvine: 2222 Barranca Pkwy, Aug. 15-21
• Brea: 303 W. Imperial Hwy, Aug. 15-21
• Fullerton: 31 E. Orangethorpe Ave., Aug. 15-21

Taylor Montgomery, chief marketing officer of Taco Bell, said the company has a “rich history” and a deep vault of products that fans love and clamor for, and said that the fast food chain is regularly exploring ways to reintroduce them to the public when it makes sense.

“Now, we’re thrilled to unite two groups of fans: those who fondly remember these menu items and those who have yet to experience the delight of a Caramel Apple Empanada or savor their first bite of a Meximelt with this menu,” Montgomery said.

While only limited to these three stores in California for now, if the menu test goes swimmingly, Taco Bell says it may bring back these items nationwide later this year for a limited time.
