JetBlue plane rolls off runway while landing at Boston Logan Airport
A JetBlue plane rolled off the runway into a grassy area while landing at Boston Logan Airport Thursday morning, according to JetBlue and Massport.
No one was hurt when flight 312 from Chicago left the runway around 11:50 a.m., JetBlue said. Passengers deplaned safely and were bused to the terminal.
'Safety is JetBlue's top priority. We will conduct a full investigation of the incident and will work closely with the relevant authorities to understand the cause,' the airline said in a statement.
Runway 33-L remains closed while the plane is being assessed, Massport said.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop at Logan Airport preventing all planes from arriving or departing following the incident, but it has since been lifted, WCVB reported. The incident has led to delays at the airport of up to two hours.
It is unclear what caused the incident. No further information has been released.

Critters take over at Meadowbrook Nature Preserve as programming starts at new amphitheater
Meadowbrook Nature Preserve hosted one of its first events at the newly built amphitheater, located on the property on 700 North in Liberty Township. 'Capes, Crown and Critters' took place on Saturday in partnership with organizations including Humane Indiana Wildlife. Kids and their families were welcomed to Meadowbrook to show off a costume, learn about wildlife, meet Smokey Bear, dissect an owl pellet and decorate a birdhouse. South Haven Library volunteers were present for puppet show storytelling. Nicole Harmon, director of Humane Indiana Wildlife and Rehabilitation Center, brought with her three wildlife ambassadors for her presentation, including Eastern screech owl Jasper, which is common in Northwest Indiana. 'Each owl species makes their own individual noises, and within those species, they each make over 20 different sounds,' said Harmon. 'When we are taught that an owl hoots, that is such a minuscule understanding of the sounds they make.' The Eastern screech owl is also a secondary cavity nester, which means they live in places that are not made by them. 'Jasper will not be able to ever be released because of an injury to the left side of his face,' said Harmon. 'We believe that a hawk may have reached into the cavity nest with his talons and grabbed out baby Jasper, causing puncture wounds, injuring parts of him that are necessary to live in the wild.' Humane Indiana has been the largest rehab center in the state for the past five years, taking in 25,000 animals to date. Jim Haniford, volunteer coordinator for Shirley Heinze Land Trust, attended the event with his daughter, Amelia, 6. 'I've been working with the Shirley Heinze Trust for years and I get the inside scoop on the activities here,' said Haniford. 'My daughter loves animals and this was the perfect thing for her to do.' Meadowbrook's amphitheater was completed in the spring through several donors, which were matched by the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority, and additional support from Porter County Government. 'We are looking to host a variety of events in the coming years, from outdoor concerts and plays to educational presentations, and beyond,' said Mari Patis, programs coordinator for Shirley Heinze Trust. 'We want the amphitheater to be a community gathering space, whether it's for events we're hosting or if local groups need a place to gather. 'The amphitheater, along with the other amenities at Meadowbrook, will allow for a wider variety of audiences and events to be hosted at the preserve,' said Patis. Meadowbrook Nature Preserve is 300 acres of moraine forest, wetlands, streams, and agricultural lands, filled with several trails and a rich variety of wildlife. A current list of events at the amphitheater can be found at and includes live music, presentations on local wildlife, a poetry workshop and other family-friendly events.

JetBlue Plane Skids Off Runway and the Pilot's Announcement Changed Everything
What started as a routine flight from Chicago to Boston took a dramatic turn Thursday morning when a JetBlue plane skidded off the runway at Logan International Airport, and what the pilot said next left passengers stunned, WCVB Channel 5 Boston reported. The flight, operated by an Airbus A220, had just landed when it veered off Runway 33L and rolled into the grass. Skid marks were visible across the tarmac, and the aircraft came to a stop just beyond the paved surface. At first, many on board didn't realize anything was wrong until the pilot made a startling announcement: they had 'lost all steering.' 'It was very alarming,' one passenger told local media. 'We had no idea until we started sliding.' Despite the mechanical failure, no one was injured. In fact, several passengers later said they wouldn't have known anything was off if not for the sudden shift and the pilot's calm but candid announcement. That steady response has since earned praise across social media and in the cabin itself. 'She was fabulous,' one passenger said. 'Everyone stayed calm. You could just feel she had control.' Passengers exited the aircraft via portable stairs and were bussed to the terminal. The Massachusetts Port Authority confirmed the runway was closed for a full inspection, and a JetBlue spokesperson said the airline was conducting a full investigation while cooperating with federal FAA also confirmed it has opened an investigation into the incident. No official cause has been confirmed, though wind gusts of up to 36 mph were reported at the time and may have contributed to the loss of steering control. JetBlue emphasized in a statement that 'safety is our top priority' and noted that events like this are rare but taken extremely seriously. For those on board, it was a close call, and a reminder of how quickly a routine flight can turn into a story you'll never forget. Thanks to a composed flight crew and a pilot who kept her cool under pressure, what could have been a disaster ended with safe passengers, solid leadership, and one unforgettable announcement that changed Plane Skids Off Runway and the Pilot's Announcement Changed Everything first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 14, 2025

Exploring Changzhou's Life Aesthetics Along Grand Canal
CHANGZHOU, China, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On June 10, the event "An Encounter with Chinese Culture: Jiangsu Week of the Grand Canal Culture" was held in Brussels, home to the headquarters of the European Union. With the Grand Canal as a symbolic link, the event built a bridge for cultural exchange between civilizations. Changzhou, an ancient Jiangnan city flourishing along the canal, transformed its cuisine into a vibrant feast, showcasing the elegance and wisdom of Eastern aesthetics to captivate European audiences. A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available in this link. The Jiangnan culinary tradition is a vibrant cultural tapestry and aesthetic expression woven into the life along the Grand Canal's banks. Radishes were intricately carved by artisans into soaring dragons and phoenixes; dough-sculpting masters shaped vivid figures from Chinese mythology; and traditional sugar-blowing crafts transformed sweetness into auspicious symbols. A humble bowl of stir-fried rice with dried radish, brimming with rustic charm, emerged as the event's star dish. The "Four Seasons Lion's Head" dish, artfully paired with seasonal ingredients, reflected a philosophy of living in harmony with nature. "Every dish is a masterpiece nurtured by the waters of the canal and a legacy of craftsmanship," said Liu Yuchun, Chinese Culinary Master and Executive Dean of the Jiangnan Culinary Research Institute. The Grand Canal carries not only culinary treasures but also the profound wisdom of Eastern living. Zhu Jun, the fifth-generation inheritor of the Lanling Cheng-style Tui Na (traditional Chinese therapeutic massage), showcased two renowned techniques: the "Expanding Finger Kneading Method" and the "Soaring Dragon Tail Swinging Method," both regarded by scholars as medical legacies of canal culture. At the event, Zhu Jun's hands brought this ancient canal-nurtured wisdom to life, showcasing the healing power of traditional Chinese medicine. Notably, as early as 2023, Changzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital signed a cooperation agreement with Belgium's Guoyitang Clinic to establish the Menghe School TCM Center. This cross-cultural encounter across mountains and seas not only added a new chapter to the 50th anniversary of China-EU diplomatic relations but also propelled the ancient civilization of the Grand Canal toward a broader future -- allowing its millennia-old way of life to continue flowing with vitality.
