Illinois café rescued from closure after harassment over drag show Brown found the flyer at his house early Thursday morning. These flyers were left on several other streets in town and the East Rock neighborhood in New Haven."There's somebody with some intent and some resources that are trying to stir up trouble.

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:30:34 GMT

HONOLULU (KHON2) — At least 12 passengers are planning to file a lawsuit against Hawaiian Airlines over a flight that hit severe turbulence and injured dozens of people. The attorney is raising questions on whether the pilot and co-pilot took the necessary precautions to avoid the injuries. Illinois café rescued from closure after harassment over drag show On December 18, 2022, Hawaiian Airlines flight 35 from Phoenix was 40 minutes from landing in Honolulu when it hit severe turbulence, sending passengers floating from their seats. Honolulu Emergency Medical Services said 20 people were taken to the hospital. An attorney who represents 12 injured passengers said the captain should have ordered all passengers and crew members to sit down and buckle up, knowing they were about to hit severe turbulence."That simply was not done on this flight — and that is what should’ve been done on this flight. And, if that had been done, then nobody would have been injured," said attorney Nomaan ...

For veteran Marc-Andre Fleury, no matter what, Las Vegas will feel like home

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:30:34 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Marc-Andre Fleury admittedly didn’t know much about Las Vegas before the Golden Knights selected him in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft. He remembered traveling to Sin City once prior, with his experience more or less defined by what he saw on The Strip.As time progressed, though, Fleury fell in love with Las Vegas, and maybe more importantly, Las Vegas fell in love with him. He was the face of the Golden Knights during their first season in the NHL as they shocked the world en route to reaching the 2018 Stanley Cup Final.In total, Fleury played 192 games for the Golden Knights before being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in a move that devastated the fan base.
