A faulty software update issued by security giant CrowdStrike has resulted in a massive overnight outage that’s affected Windows computers around the world, disrupting businesses, airports, train stations, banks, broadcasters and the healthcare sector.

CrowdStrike said the outage was not caused by a cyberattack, but was the result of a “defect” in a software update for its flagship security product, Falcon Sensor. The defect caused any Windows computers that Falcon is installed on to crash without fully loading.

The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation after two planes from major commercial airlines appeared to nearly collide mid-air in an unnerving dash camera video taken by police in Syracuse, New York, this week. Although experts say the flights were not actually on a collision course, based on preliminary evidence, they were for a time flying in very close proximity — just 725 feet apart at their nearest point.

Prosecutors are reportedly recommending criminal charges against Boeing to the Department of Justice over allegations that the plane manufacturer violated a settlement related to two fatal crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft.

Senior DOJ officials are reviewing the recommendations and have until July 7 to make a final decision about whether to prosecute the company, Reuters and CNN reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Outgoing Boeing CEO David Calhoun apologized Tuesday to the hundreds of families who lost loved ones in crashes of the company’s 737 MAX jets — then faced scathing rebukes from senators who accused the company of placing profits over lives.

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun faced bipartisan heat Tuesday as he sat for his first congressional testimony nearly six months after the door plug of a Boeing 737 Max 9 blew off during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.

Calhoun, who announced in March he was stepping down at the end of the year, sought to assure senators his company was serious about improving its safety and quality practices amid ongoing investigations by the Justice Department and federal regulators.

Outgoing Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun began his testimony before Senate lawmakers on Tuesday by addressing the loved ones of passengers who were killed in crashes involving the aerospace manufacturer's planes, as the company faces alleged safety concerns over its practices.

"Before I begin my opening remarks, I would like to speak directly to those who lost loved ones on Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302," Calhoun said in his prepared testimony before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Friday it is investigating the use of titanium for components in some Boeing and Airbus jets, as the material was possibly sold with false documentation verifying its authenticity.

The investigation was announced after a New York Times report Friday, which indicated that Spirit AeroSystems, which provides fuselages for Boeing and wings for Airbus and the FAA, used falsified documents.

The Biden administration on Friday tightened vehicle fuel mileage standards, part of its strategy to transform the American auto market into one that is dominated by electric vehicles that do not emit the pollution that is heating the planet.

On an apparent impulse she may regret for the rest of her life, Kathy Hochul disgraced the office of the governor of New York and possibly torpedoed her political career, starting with her reelection bid in 2026.

Just weeks before congestion pricing tolls were set to turn on and start delivering faster commutes and billions of dollars in transit improvements for eight and a half million New Yorkers, Gov. Hochul announced her dark-of-night decision to shelve the program “indefinitely.”

In a surprise reversal, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that planned congestion pricing in Manhattans Congestion Relief Zone will be shelved indefinitely—seemingly putting an end to what had been a contentious policy.

The plan, which was set to begin on June 30th, would have charged passenger vehicles up to $15 to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street. It would have been administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and was intended to curtail vehicle traffic in and below Midtown—specifically by out-of-state drivers.
