Frontier Jet Hits Person On Takeoff, Engine Erupts In Flames At Denver A shocking runway security incident unfolded late Friday at Denver International Airport after Frontier Flight 4345, an Airbus A321 bound for Los Angeles, struck an individual during its takeoff roll, forcing the crew to abort. Full transcript of the ATC audio: Frontier 4345 (pilot): Tower, Frontier 4345, we're stopping on the runway. We just hit somebody and have an engine fire. DEN Tower: Frontier 4345, I see that. DEN Tower (to Frontier 4345): Frontier 4345, I'm going to be rolling the trucks now. Do you know if there are souls on board and fuel remaining? Frontier 4345 (pilot) : Alright, 4345 we have 231 souls on board. We have 21,320 pounds of fuel onboard. There was an individual walking across the runway. pic.twitter.com/4cA5JniCW1 — PaulyBee (@PaulyB303) May 9, 2026 In our view , a commercial jet at a major international airport does not simply "hit someone" on an active runway during takeoff, particularly near the point of rotation. This suggests a potentially serious breakdown in perimeter, airfield, or runway security controls. The incident appears to represent a major security breach at DEN. One working theory is that the individual intentionally entered the aircraft's path, potentially committing suicide by entering the right turbine intake. Hence the fire...

The chants from Middlesbrough fans about Southampton’s spying are likely to linger in the memory far longer than a playoff semi-final that promised far more than it delivered.

The chants from Middlesbrough fans about Southampton’s spying are likely to linger in the memory far longer than a playoff semi-final that promised far more than it delivered. While Southampton will start Tuesday’s second leg as favourites, Boro cannot be discounted after dominating large tracts of a tie thoroughly overshadowed by a spying scandal. Slate grey rain clouds shrouded the Cleveland Hills and it seemed emblematic of the chill gloom enveloping the visitors after Middlesbrough accused one of Southampton’s analysts of spying on a training sessions and resulted in a misconduct charge from the Football League.

Elon Musk 's SpaceX is planning the largest stock debut in history. One likely winner from the deal: an overlooked industrial company founded decades before the Wright brothers ever took to the skies. Industrial gases giant Linde has a small but fast-growing business supplying critical gases to the space industry, enabling the propulsion systems of rocket engines and satellites to get them where they need to go. Before leaving Earth, Linde's gases also play a key role in making and testing components on spacecraft. Linde has been in the space game for more than six decades, from NASA's Apollo program to today's Artemis II moon mission. With the advent of the commercial space race, the government is no longer the only game in town. There are many other space companies popping up, but none is bigger than SpaceX. Linde is building a sprawling $100 million plant in Texas near SpaceX to ease delivery. Linde's presence in the space industry is indicative of its behind-the-scenes role in the broader economy. It may not be a household name. But this U.K.-based, nearly $230 billion market capitalization company has been for more than a century supplying gases such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen to many industries. Among their uses, Linde's gases create the fizz in sparkling waters, provide respiratory support to hospital patients, and help lasers etch billions of tiny transistors onto artificial intelligence chips. Soon, the low-profile Club name, which we like for its consistent growth and pricing power, may get a jolt from one of the splashiest Wall Street debuts in recent memory. SpaceX confidentially filed initial public offering (IPO) paperwork last month. The Musk venture is seeking to raise as much as $75 billion, at a target valuation of around $1.75 trillion, according to Reuters. That's just massive. For comparison, Meta Platforms has a market cap of $1.55 trillion. The rocket and satellite maker is targeting a late June listing . Launching rockets isn't c...

A general view of the cruise ship MV Hondius stationary off the port of Praia, the capital of Cape Verde, on May 3, 2026. AFP | Getty Images For now, prediction market traders aren't too worried about the hantavirus. Kalshi data shows only a 21% chance of the hantavirus outbreak will be a concern this year. The prediction markets platform opened its market on the hantavirus on Wednesday night, noting it will be resolved if the World Health Organization verifies that the virus is "a public health emergency of international concern" in 2026. Compared to other markets opened on the same day, trading in this market has been high. On Friday, volume related to the outbreak hit over $174,000, the highest out of any market that opened in that time. The WHO identified the virus as an outbreak on May 4, according to the Associated Press , a few weeks after several passengers on a Dutch-flagged cruise ship sailing the Atlantic Ocean grew ill. An outbreak is when there are a higher number of people catching diseases than what is expected within a specific community, geographic location or season, the WHO's website states. The fatal and viral respiratory disease is transmitted through urine, feces or saliva of infected rodents and by touching contaminated surfaces, according to the WHO . Spanish health officials said Friday that a woman in the country's southeastern region has symptoms consistent with hantavirus, Reuters reported. In the Netherlands , three people with symptoms of the virus tested negative. That said, the WHO said the public health risk for the virus is low. "While this is a serious incident, WHO assesses the public health risk as low." Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the media . "It's possible that more cases may be reported." The WHO reported that there were a total 147 passengers and crew members on board the cruise ship. A former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official and another person familiar with the matter told CNBC this we...

Daniel Chetroni/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis AI infrastructure capacity continues to grow at a hyperbolic rate, along with the procurement of the "connective tissue" that keeps data centers running. While market participants debate which is better—copper or fiber optics? The shares of Credo Technology ( CRDO ) are showing accelerating growth, due to the proven effectiveness of their copper solutions in scaling hyperscalers. Despite the fact that the stock has risen 95% since my last valuation, which assumed a discount of 42%, today my confidence in Credo is significantly higher. At last, the company is entering a new phase of its development, moving towards a vertically integrated model where, alongside copper cables, optical connections capable of high speeds (1.6T and 3.2T) will be developed. I will analyze how Credo’s "economic moat" is changing following the acquisition of DustPhotonics. I will also assess the risks posed by optical competitors and define the key metrics and takeaways to expect from the upcoming report. The "Economic Moat" of the CRDO Strategy The formation of the "connective tissue" within data centers that perform computing operations requires cables and connectivity technologies capable of ensuring uninterrupted, fast data transmission. Considering the record-breaking scale of hyperscalers, Credo possesses a "moat" related to the role of its products in building AI infrastructure. The hyperscalers, interested in improving data transfer and energy efficiency, utilize Credo’s technologies, comprising three product lines (SerDes IP, Active Electrical Cables, and optical digital signal processors). First, specialized HPCs are built using SerDes IP. Second, Active Electrical Cables consist of a new type of cable with embedded chips. Third, optical digital signal processors power optical transceivers. CRDO's Revenue and Margins. Analysts at Goldman Sachs ( GS ) believe that CRDO stocks have high potential due to the fact that copper ca...
The optimistic take is that Chelsea avoided equalling their worst run of league defeats since 1952 and warmed up nicely for next Saturday’s FA Cup final with a merited draw at Liverpool.

The optimistic take is that Chelsea avoided equalling their worst run of league defeats since 1952 and warmed up nicely for next Saturday’s FA Cup final with a merited draw at Liverpool. Optimism, however, was thin on the ground at Anfield where boos greeted the full-time whistle and Arne Slot’s decision to introduce Alexander Isak for Rio Ngumoha. His team are crawling towards Champions League qualification with dissent for company. Enzo Fernández’s fortunate free-kick cancelled out an early strike from Ryan Gravenberch in what was a mediocre contest between two teams enduring mediocre campaigns. The sound of Anfield captured Liverpool’s display to perfection. The acclaim for an early lead and dominant opening gave way to jeers and whistles by the 39th minute as an increasingly lax home performance invited Chelsea to take the initiative.

Stockholders of nuclear start-up Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) have a good reason to cheer right now. After a disastrous first quarter, in which the company's share price fell more than 30%, the stock is once again trading in positive territory for the year (barely). Oklo began the year with a bang, skyrocketing 47% in the first full week of January. But over the next few months, its price dropped steadily , hitting a low of just $45.58/share on March 30. From there, it took off again, soaring 75% from that low to hit $79.62/share on May 6. As of Thursday's close, it was trading at $72.21/share, for an overall gain of 0.7% for the year. So, investors who bought shares in late March are happy, but those who bought in mid-January are likely less enthused. But how have longer-term investors fared? If you'd invested $10,000 in Oklo a year ago, how much would you have today? Continue reading
