MONKEYPOX, NEAR MISSES, AND CHAOS

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyAlbum: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 It was a week in the air that was hard to believe and impossible to ignore. Start with the near collision over Fort Lauderdale. A JetBlue flight on final approach nearly hit a small Beechcraft 76 from a flight school that was flying erratically and had gone completely silent on air traffic control. The JetBlue crew received a TCAS collision alert and climbed hard to avoid it. The two aircraft came within 500 feet of each other. The air traffic controller's on the record assessment of the other pilot: "That guy's insane." The pilot's response: "I agree." The FAA is investigating. Then there's the story that should have been front page news everywhere. Two NIH researchers were arrested at Detroit Metro Airport after allegedly smuggling 113 vials of monkeypox virus into the United States from Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, where an active outbreak was underway, packed in Styrofoam coolers inside a large black case on a commercial Delta flight. They told Customs it was diagnostic equipment. It was not. The U.S. Attorney said it plainly: "Let that sink in." And in the background of all of it, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is threatening to pull Customs and Border Protection officers from airports in sanctuary cities, a move that would effectively shut down international travel at LAX, O'Hare, SFO, and six other major hubs. Elizabeth has the reaction and the details.
