MIAMI (ANP) - De zwarte dozen van het vrachtvliegtuig van Amazon Prime Air dat zondag op de internationale luchthaven van Miami van de landingsbaan schoot en tegen meerdere voertuigen botste, zijn gevonden, aldus voorzitter van de Amerikaanse onderzoeksraad voor vervoersveiligheid NTSB Jennifer Homendy maandag.

Bij het ongeluk kwamen zeker vijf mensen, inzittenden van de voertuigen, om het leven. Vijf mensen raakten gewond, drie daarvan verkeren in kritieke toestand.

De zwarte dozen zullen door de NTSB worden geanalyseerd en de piloot en co-piloot van het vliegtuig zullen worden gehoord, aldus Homendy. Een mogelijke oorzaak van het gebeurde is volgens haar pas vast te stellen aan het eind van het onderzoek.

Alle vluchten werden ten gevolge van het ongeluk opgeschort. Vanaf zondagavond werden de vluchten hervat.

Corie Walsh charged with murder after two-year-old Barrett found dead in basement of Illinois family home last week

An Illinois woman charged with killing her two-year-old son had been closely following the murder trial of Massachusetts mother Lindsay Clancy and was texting friends about the case just hours before her son was found dead, prosecutors said.

Corie Walsh, 40, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder after her son, Barrett, was found dead in the basement of the family’s suburban Chicago home last Tuesday, according to court records obtained by NBC Chicago.

Counter-measures covering several sectors come after Trump announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods

Canada is set to impose retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of American imports early on Tuesday, escalating a trade fight with its largest trading partner as tensions between US president Donald Trump and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney intensify.

The tariffs, which take effect at 12.01am on Tuesday, will range from 15% to 50% and apply to products covering C$27.6bn in imports from the US. The measures will target sectors including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics – industries that have been most affected by US tariffs.

OS index examines which ‘urban heat islands’ suffer the most – and which cope the best with rising temperatures

Portsmouth, Leicester, Exeter, Bristol and Nottingham will be among the cities that warm the most by the end of this century as global heating turns British cities into urban heat islands, according to research.

Analysis from Ordnance Survey (OS) has created a heat vulnerability index for all cities in Great Britain. Portsmouth, which sits on the south coast of England and is home to 208,000 people, is the most vulnerable to extreme heat today and into the future, according to the research from the OS, the Met Office and the data analysis company 4 Earth Intelligence.

Last year the writing program at the University of Baltimore used an app that tracks students while they're writing in Google Docs, offering teachers a video playing back revisions "with a scoreboard of all the edits, pastes and minutes spent on it," writes the Washington Post. "Is it surveillance? Yes, I think obviously," says the program's director.

But was there a better way?

She is one of a dozen educators around the country who told The Post that they're experimenting with a different approach to student use of generative artificial intelligence this school year. Teachers and professors are throwing out old assignments, installing new policies and protocols, and incorporating AI built for the classroom, rather than feeling forced to choose between returning to pencil and paper or acting like the AI police.

Her new lesson plan even incorporates generative AI in a controlled way to let her evaluate students' critical thinking skills. She created chatbots using BoodleBox, the university's AI vendor, that allow instructors to see both sides of the conversation. For an assignment testing students' ability to make evidence-based arguments, they participate in a simulated school board meeting about banning books. It involves debating chatbots designed by Zeleny with names like the Confrontational Parent. Writing students usually turn in business proposals and research papers. This semester, instructors are starting to ask instead for transcripts of conversations a student had with a chatbot, a handwritten outline of their composition, and a video reflection of how they felt about the work. "In a lot of ways, we have made these assignments harder, but writing should have always had more detailed checkpoints along the way," she said.
