Un Boeing 737 della compagnia low-cost Air Florida decolla dal National Airport di Washington in condizioni climatiche proibitive.

In pochi attimi, il volo 90 si trasforma in una delle tragedie aeree più drammatiche della storia. Tra errori umani, condizioni estreme e decisioni cruciali, la storia prende una piega inaspettata, dando vita a momenti di paura, coraggio e incredibile determinazione.

Recovery teams have spent the day in the frigid waters outside Reagan National Airport, engaged in the grim activity of retrieving the 67 victims of last night's deadly collision between an army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane. Among the victims, figure skaters returning from a training camp in Kansas. And according to The New York Times, a preliminary investigation into the crash shows the air traffic control tower was understaffed. The report says the controller handling helicopters was also directing commercial planes, jobs usually assigned to two separate people. Plus, the Blackhawk helicopter involved in the crash is known as the workhorse of the military. Powered by two turbine engines, it can climb 19-thousand feet and lift more than nine thousand pounds. Now, it's at the center of the first major crisis for the new Trump administration. And the crash was similar to the crash back in 1982 - when an Air Florida jet crashed into the Potomac in the middle of a very snowy day in January when the jet, weighed down by ice, couldn't get airborne and crashed into the 14th Street Bridge.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris fills in for an ailing Sean and covers an already unbelievable week. The horrific crash of American Airlines Flight 5342 into the icy Potomac brings back memories of Air Florida flight 90 which suffered a similar fate in 1982, and our hearts and prayers go out to all the families affected. Meanwhile, it's confirmation hearing palooza on Capitol Hill with US Senators proving time and time again that they aren't even worthy to answer your phones – especially Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Chris predicts Kash Patel and RFK Jr. will get through but exudes caution on Tulsi Gabbard given her controversial positions on Putin, Assad, and Edward Snowden. Republicans are fresh off their retreat and we will see where they go with the massive Big Beautiful Bill; or, be more strategic and try to put some wins on the board. Lastly, with he 80th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Chris remembers his own research into the juxtaposition of the German Concentration Camps and the American Japanese Internment Camps. He gives special shout out to Geddy Lee of RUSH and his autobiography, “My Effin Life” where Geddy recounts his parents meeting in Auschwitz during the war. We never know what God is doing or His purposes. But we know that through faith we can be healed and have hope.

Opowiadamy o sytuacjach, w których uległość wobec autorytetów doprowadziła do tragedii, a konkretnie w tym odcinku - do katastrof lotniczych. Potwierdzają one słuszność wniosków płynących z eksperymentu Milgrama, mówiących, że ludzie są z natury posłuszni osobom wyższym rangą, nawet jeśli stoi to w sprzeczności z ich zasadami, zdrowym rozsądkiem albo wręcz zagraża ich życiu. No bo czym wytłumaczyć fakt podporządkowania się kapitanowi, który robi wszystko, by staranować innego jumbo jeta? Za dwa tygodnie, w 90. odcinku naszego podcastu, opowiemy Wam o innych, niekoniecznie lotniczych tragediach spowodowanych przez “milgramowskie” posłuszeństwo. Jeśli Wam się spodoba, rozważcie wsparcie nas na Patronite - dzięki Waszym wpłatom będziemy mogli utrzymać cotygodniowy rytm ukazywania się nowych odcinków: https://patronite.pl/crazynaukaJeśli wolisz jednorazowo postawić nam kawę, to super.

Es imposible para alguien egocéntrico como yo valorar en su justa medida el significado de su muerte. Sumida como estoy en una rutina de estrés y prisas, sé que necesito una visión más profunda de la cruz. ¿Por qué alguien daría su vida por otro? Me cuesta entenderlo en el caso de Cristo, pero en el de un ser humano que da su vida por otro que no es su hijo, su madre, ni su cónyuge, me parece increíble.Eso fue lo que hizo Arland Williams el 13 de enero de 1982. El vuelo 90 de Air Florida sobrevolaba las frías aguas del Potomac cuando se precipitó sobre el río. Hubo seis sobrevivientes. Desde el helicóptero de rescate, lanzaron el salvavidas para rescatarlos uno a uno. El primer lanzamiento cayó junto a Arland que, en vez de sujetarse a él para ascender hacia la vida, lo paso a otro, segundo lanzamiento, mismo resultado. Tercero, cuarto, quinto... por fin el sexto, el que le quedaba a él: Demasiado tarde. Arland, de cuarenta y seis años, se había ahogado, habiendo podido evitar la muerte, estuvo dispuesto a morir para que otros no la experimentaran.Jesús pudo haberla evitado también. Pudo haber usado algún salvavidas o que su Padre hiciera un milagro para evitarle la muerte de cruz. Pudo no haber venido a este mundo y haber utilizado otro tipo de salvavidas para arrojar a la humanidad. ¿Por qué eligió la cruz? Me resulta tan difícil comprenderlo como comprender por qué Arland decidió poner a otros antes que él y aceptar su propia muerte. Pero para los que se aferraron a ese único salvavidas, fue una oportunidad de comenzar de cero, con una visión completamente distinta de la vida y con un agradecimiento que lo permea todo. Eso es también lo que nos ofrece la cruz.Aunque mi razón no lo entienda, acepto que la justicia de Dios es más elevada que la mía. Acepto que él no actúa por capricho, sino que es sabio y fiel, puro amor, y confío en él. Acepto que soy su hija, que me ahogo en este frío mundo de pecado, y que Cristo es el único salvavidas que tengo. Sobrepasa mi entendimiento, pero me aferro a él para ascender hacia la vida. Vivo agradecida por ese salvavidas y te lo paso a ti. Podemos compartirlo.«¿Por qué Dios no usó su soberanía para perdonarnos que Cristo tuviera morir?».John Piper.*http://www.nbcnews.com/id/21902983/ns/health-behavior/t/hidden-cost-heroism/#.WXNsbtPhCDU [consultado en agosto de 2017]. 

Unbelievable survival story of the crash of Air Florida flight 90 and what was known as "The Man in the Water". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justinknowles/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justinknowles/support

After the tragic crash of Air Florida's Flight 90 into Washington's Potomac River, an unforgettable scene was played out in the dark, icy waters. Twice, a balding, middle-aged "average" man had a chance to save himself. Twice he chose instead to save someone else. And then he disappeared. First published November 1982. Written by Claire Safran. Read by Zoë Meunier.

I once had a very exciting night at Chicago's very busy O'Hare Airport. Just as I was getting ready to leave, they informed us that the radar in the tower had suddenly gone down. Do you know what that means? That means the flight controllers have no way to do anything mechanically to get your plane in or out, so they had to shut O'Hare down to one runway and limit themselves to visual landings. Well, needless to say, many of us didn't go anywhere that night, and I was frustrated because I couldn't get out of the airport. But then I thought about the people above me who couldn't land! As I went outside I saw all these lights; the lights of planes that were circling the airport in what seemed like endless holding patterns. Many of them actually ended up diverted to other destinations that night. You can imagine how frustrated they were. They're almost home, they're in sight of Chicago, they're not on the ground. They're almost, but they're not in - maybe like you. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "So Close to Heaven - But Not In." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Mark 12 where Jesus met a man who was almost home. "One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked of him, 'Of all the commandments, which is the most important?' 'The most important one,' answered Jesus, is this: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 'Well said, Teacher,' the man replied. 'You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but Him.'" And then the man went on to express his understanding that to know God was much more than religion; it was a relationship. This man is right on target. But then Jesus spoke these very sobering words to a man who had all the right answers. He said, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." Interesting words: "not far" but not in. Like those people at O'Hare Airport, in sight of the airport, in sight of home, but they haven't landed yet. I remember there was this Air Florida flight years ago that almost cleared the bridge in Washington D.C. during take-off, and they crashed into the Potomac River with the loss of several lives. They almost made it. Almost. That night might just describe where Jesus sees you regarding knowing Him. You are not far from Him, but you're not in. And you're in danger if you think that close is good enough. It could be that you could end up 18 inches from heaven; that's the distance from your head to your heart. You know the facts, you respect Jesus, you even love Him perhaps, and you know how to fit into the Christian world. But it's in your head; it's not in your heart. You've never really given yourself to Jesus Christ. He knows it and you know it. You know all about Him, but you don't know Him - 18 inches away. God sees you circling the airport, putting off landing. Please, don't play with the possibility of crashing forever because you've circled but you've never landed. "Seek the Lord," the Bible says, "while He may be found." You're almost home. He's within sight, but you do have to land. You have to consciously give the rest of your life to Jesus Christ and consciously put all of your trust in the One who died for your sins, and tell Him you're doing that. He's the One who bought you with His blood, and with His life. I would love to help you make it the rest of the way home. Just come to our website, and we'll help you land. That website is ANewStory.com. You're not far, but you're not in. Come home today.

In this podcast Meghan talks with Ondi Timoner, a documentary film maker and daughter of Eli Timoner about her beautiful, revolutionary film The Last Flight Home. "Behind a white picket fence, on an unremarkable suburban street, we discover Eli Timoner, who founded Air Florida, the fastest growing airline in the world in the 1970's. During his final days, we discover his extraordinary life filled with incredible success and devastating setbacks, and most importantly, an innate goodness which won him the enduring love and support of his family. Through stunning verité footage recorded by his middle child, LAST FLIGHT HOME takes audiences on a heart-wrenching ride through Timoner's life, illustrating a modern day success story built on the power of human connection. Two-time winner of the Sundance Film Festival U.S. Documentary Grand Jury Prize (DIG!, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC) Ondi Timoner returns to the festival with an intensely intimate verité film about her family's harrowing journey to find closure.  As they open up their lives to offer an enlightening view of a universal experience, they demonstrate the grace and connection that can emerge from embracing death. Through laughter and joy, they share a lasting legacy which demonstrates how we might live, even as we die."

p>When I fly into Washington D.C., I sort of flash back to an unforgettable scene. It's been quite a while, but I can't help but think of it as I see that same bridge. It actually happened way back in 1982 in January. It was when Air Florida's flight 90 took off in Washington. It raked the 14th Street Bridge; plunged into the freezing waters of the Potomac River. I can still remember that image of the tail section sticking up out of the river and six survivors clinging to that plane. And there was that rescue helicopter circling overhead, lowering a lifeline to those survivors. And there was this one middle-aged man who was unidentified in the news reports. He kept pushing the lifeline away and passing it to the other five passengers. Now, five people had been rescued. When the chopper went back for that sixth man, he'd slipped beneath the water. The pilot said later, "I have never seen one man with that much commitment." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Two Words That Can Give You Heaven." One man who gave up his life so others wouldn't have to die; does that sound familiar? Someone did that for you. Oh yeah, The Someone. Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Galatians 2:20. Here's what it says, "The life I live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God (tThat's Jesus), who loved me and gave himself for me." There are two simple but life-saving facts there. Jesus loves you and He gave His life for you. You say, "How? Why?" Well, Romans 6:23 provides the context for that out of the Bible. It says, "The wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." See, there's a death penalty for this series of life-choices that we've made that God calls sin. You and I have both lived outside of God's boundaries. We've hijacked the life He was supposed to run, and honestly we've run it our way. Somebody said recently, "Oh, I don't believe a loving God would punish sin." Well, look at the cross of Jesus. He was carrying your sin and mine. He was assuming all the guilt, all the punishment of my sin and yours, and we hear God's one and only Son crying, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" Because a holy God must turn His back on whomever is carrying my sin or yours. Jesus died so you don't have to carry that penalty any longer unless you reject Him and you reject His offer of eternal life. The sacrifice of that man in the Potomac? That's a picture of Jesus giving up His life so you can live. But it's a very incomplete picture, because Jesus was taking eternal death; all our forever suffering, all our forever separation from God, all our hell. And those two life-saving words I mentioned. There was a young man we talked to not long ago who was involved in a cult and came back to the church he had grown up in after becoming disillusioned. And he walked in and he said, "For the first time I saw that cross. I mean, I've seen the cross many times in my life, but I looked at Jesus dying on that cross and for the first time I said these words, �That was for me, wasn't it?'" Those are the two life-saving words - for me. To walk up to the cross where Jesus was dying and say those two words as you look at Him, "For me, Jesus." That's exactly what it said in the Bible, "He loved me and gave himself for me." And so you say, "Jesus, I'm taking you for me." Have you ever told Him that? Why would you wait another day to get this settled? Drop your junk at the cross. Put all your faith in Him as your payment for your sin. If you're ready to finally welcome Him into your life, the One who paid such a high price for you, He's offered His blood to forgive you and erase your sin from God's Book, well then tell Him you want to belong to Him. Let me invite you to join us at our website, because I think we could help you there get started with Jesus. Just go to ANewStory.com. No one's ever loved you like Jesus. No one's ever given so much than God's one and only Son. There's no reason for you to die. Someone died for you so you don't have to. And his name is Jesus.

It was a cold and snowy day in Washington, DC as passengers boarded the narrow-body Air Florida 737. The plane was sprayed with de-icing fluid while waiting at the gate, but a series of errors before the plane reached the runway, and more errors on the runway, sealed the fate of this flight. Just moments after take-off, the plane fell from the sky and crash-landed on the 14th Street Bridge and then plunged into the icy Potomac River. Only five passengers and one crew member survived the crash, while four motorists were killed on the bridge. Following the crash, heroes emerged with names still recognized today. What went wrong with Flight 90? Was it a mechanical failure? Could the weather be blamed? What role did the flight crew play in this disaster? And was the nearby train derailment, where three people died, related to the plane crash? This episode of Radar Contact Lost has the answers. Note: None of the sound effects in this episode are from the actual Air Florida crash.

Eli Timoner, who founded Air Florida, had a picture-perfect life, then suffered a stroke at age 53. His health deteriorated so much that he sought aid-in-dying drugs. He's the focus of the film “Last Flight Home.” Thanks to the #MeToo movement, several Hollywood figures are on trial right now, including Kevin Spacey, Danny Masterson, and Harvey Weinstein. Anna Voloshyna's new cookbook, “Budmo!: Recipes from a Ukrainian Kitchen,” celebrates Eastern European cuisine and Ukraine's identity. As the first Chinese American movie star in Hollywood, Anna May Wong made more than 60 films, but was never cast as the lead. That changed when she paved a way for herself in Great Britain.

Behind a white picket fence, on an unremarkable suburban street, we discover 92-year-old Eli Timoner, who founded Air Florida, the fastest growing airline in the world in the 1970s. During his final days, we discover his extraordinary life filled with incredible success and devastating setbacks and, most importantly, the innate goodness that won him the enduring love and support of his family. Through stunning footage recorded by his middle child, LAST FLIGHT HOME takes audiences on an unforgettable ride through Timoner's life, illustrating a modern-day success story built on the power of human connection. Two-time winner of the Sundance Film Festival's Documentary Grand Jury Prize (DIG!, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC), Ondi Timoner has created her most personal film yet, which intimately portrays her family's challenging journey to find closure and invites us into a rare and honest confrontation and conversation with mortality. LAST FLIGHT HOME is not only a unique and open display of the process of death, without inhibition or sanitization, but also a humanization of the journey of a family ‘midwifing' a patriarch through his final days. Director Ondi Timoner joins us for a conversation on her elegant verité tribute to family, how and why she decided to share the Eli Timoner's inspiring coda with outside world.

On a snowy day in January 1982, Air Florida Flight 90 fell from the sky, crushed a bridge, and smashed through the ice of the Potomac River. But the tragic series of events that led to this crash is only half the story. Heroism, sacrifice, and bravery created a rescue effort like none other to save the survivors of Air Florida 90. But not everyone who survived the initial crash would make it out of the Potomac River alive.

On this episode of The Good,The Bad and The Pure Evil , I look at the tragic crash of Air Florida Flight 90. The Boeing 737 crashed into the 14th Street Bridge over the Potomac River on Wednesday January 13th 1982. Only 4 passengers and 1 crew member would survive. A passenger named Arland Williams would live long enough to aid in the rescue of others before sadly drowning. Pilot error would be stated as the cause along with poor conditions and failure to complete checks required. Air Florida would eventually fold some believe due to the crash and payouts while others believed the company was in failure before the crash....

Filmmaker Ondi Timoner talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about the recently released “Mapplethorpe, The Director's Cut” featuring an all-new soundtrack, previously unseen footage and also addresses Robert Mapplethorpe’s important relationship with Patti Smith and his subsequent pivotal romance with powerhouse art collector Sam Wagstaff. The film stars Matt Smith in the title role, best known as Prince Philip in the Netflix series “The Crown.” The stellar cast includes Marianne Rendón as Patti Smith and John Benjamin Hickey as Sam Wagstaff. LGBTQ icon and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe was one of the most important and controversial artists of the 20th Century living his life boldly and authentically until his untimely death 1989 at age of 42 due to complications from HIV/AIDS. Mapplethorpe’s most controversial works documented and examined the gay male BDSM subculture of New York City in the late 1960s and early 1970s. His historic and provocative 1989 exhibition entitled “Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Moment” generated controversy and even sparked a Congressional debate when Senator Jesse Helms introduced legislation that attempted to stop the National Endowment for the Arts from funding artwork he considered “obscene.” Though Helms’ extreme measures did not pass, a compromise was reached in Congress placing restrictions on NEA funding procedures that’s still in effect today. “Mapplethorpe, The Director’s Cut” also includes restored scenes depicting Mapplethorpe’s childhood love of photography, his embattled relationship with his father and his lingering ambivalent connection to the Catholic faith. We talked to Ondi about her inspiration for creating “Mapplethorpe, The Director's Cut” and her spin on our LGBTQ issues.  Ondi Timoner is one of the most outstanding talents in non-fiction filmmaking. She often takes on the stories of visionaries fighting against all odds with a gripping and unique mixed-media, narrative style. Ondi wrote, directed, produced and edited “Mapplethorpe” that won an Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival and was released theatrically by Samuel Goldwyn in 2018. “Mapplethorpe, The Director’s Cut” is now available on Hulu, Amazon and various digital platforms. Currently she’s putting the finishing touches on a new screenplay “A Stroke of Genius” about the life and career of her late father Eli Timoner who in 1971 founded Air Florida an airline that saw remarkable rapid growth both at the time of its inception and afterwards before suffering a stroke and living the next forty years as a hemiplegic. Timoner is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the DGA, the PGA, the International Documentary Association, Film Fatales and Women in Film.

She wanted bigger and better so she went to work for National Airlines because she knew National was bought by Pan Am. Now we are talking! She couldn’t keep up with the schedule having a young child at home. The trips were too long. So she left the airlines and started working in antiques. There was a wonderful shop near by and the women she worked with were creative. She loved working with them until she had to recreate herself again and went to work as a make up artist traveling to different stores for promotions. That wasn’t enough. She said maybe she should be a cosmetologist. So she found herself doing hair and make up, but again not finding her niche. She knew there was more for out there.

Na "live" do canal ASA, lembramos o acidente com o voo 090 da Air Florida, em 13 de janeiro de 1982. O Boeing 737-200 caiu logo após decolar do Aeroporto Nacional de Washington D.C. devido contaminação da asa por precipitação de neve, atingindo ponte na 14ª Avenida para em seguida mergulhar nas águas do Rio Potomac. Apenas cinco ocupantes da aeronave sobreviveram à tragédia. Participa do bate-papo, o comandante Rafael Santos, que voa Boeing 777 na Korean Air.

The 2018 midterms are trying to wind down. In Georgia, with a narrow lead in unofficial returns, Brian Kemp on Thursday stepped down as secretary of state and declared victory in the gubernatorial race while there are votes left to count.Democratic Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema has taken a narrow lead over Republican opponent Martha McSally in the Arizona Senate race as officials continue to tally mail-in ballots — a change in fortunes that could narrow the size of the GOP majority next year. Sinema now leads McSally 49.1 percent to 48.6 percent, according to results provided by election officials at 8 p.m. EST on Thursday. The two congresswomen were separated by just 9,610 ballots cast statewide, with a Green Party candidate lagging far behind.The Florida Senate race is still too close to call. According to unofficial results on the Florida Department of State website at 11:45 a.m. EST on Friday, Nov. 9, Republican Gov. Rick Scott led Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson by 15,046 votes — or 0.18 percentage points. We're watching that margin closely, because if it stays about that small, it will trigger a recount. It's already narrowed since election night, when Scott initially declared victory with a 56,000-vote lead. Broward County's undervote rate is way out of line with every other county in Florida, which exhibited, at most, a 0.8 percent difference. President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday, replacing him for the time being with loyalist Matthew G. Whitaker, who has echoed the president's complaints about the special counsel investigation into Russia's alleged election interference and will now take charge of the inquiry. Whitaker has courted the anti-abortion, evangelical Christian vote, saying at one candidate's forum that he would scrutinize nominees for federal judge seats to ensure they had a "biblical view of justice." In August 2017, Mr. Whitaker wrote a piece called "Mueller's investigation of Trump is going too far," in which he said, “I would start with the idea of Marbury v. Madison. That's probably a good place to start and the way it's looked at the Supreme Court as the final arbiter of constitutional issues. We'll move forward from there. All New Deal cases that were expansive of the federal government. Those would be bad. Then all the way up to the Affordable Care Act and the individual mandate.”He was asked in 2014, during an ill-fated run in the Republican senatorial primary in Iowa, about the worst decisions in the Supreme Court's history. Is Whitaker using his faith inappropriately?The Thousand Oaks gunman went from Marine vet to mass shooter. Marine Corps veteran Ian Long, 28, stormed into the Borderline Bar & Grill country music dance hall in Thousand Oaks, California, firing a Glock .45-caliber handgun without a word as patrons line-danced late Wednesday night; he killed 12 people. This mass shooting has put gun control back in the spotlight, but will the country ever reach a consensus on how we deal with this issue?Michelle Obama rips Trump in a new memoir. She expressed disbelief over how so many women would choose a "misogynist" over Hillary Clinton, "an exceptionally qualified female candidate." She also slammed Trump's "birther" campaign questioning her husband's citizenship, calling it bigoted and dangerous, and saying it put her family at risk of being harmed. “What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls?" she wrote, according to ABC News. "Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family's safety at risk. And for this, I'd never forgive him.” Trump responded in a news conference by saying, "I'll give you a little controversy back, I'll never forgive [President Barack Obama] for what he did to our US military. It was depleted, and I had to fix it," Trump said. "What he did to our military made this country very unsafe for you and you and you."

Janice Ockershausen, and host Andy Ockershausen, on scheduling Joe Theismann as a guest~ "And don't forget, speaking of Charles, we've had Charles Mann, we've had Shawn Springs, we've had Mark Moseley. We're hoping to get Joe Theismann so if anybody knows Joe Theismann and can get us Joe Theismann for Season 4 that'd be much appreciated." Janice Ockershausen, with host Andy Ockershausen, in studio Our Town DC Podcast How and Why Our Town? Andy Ockershausen: This is Our Town, this is Andy Ockershausen. I think back to that wonderful, beautiful summer day we were driving down to Rehoboth Delaware to visit some very dear friends for a weekend and Janice said to me, "Honey we're losing touch and we're losing track of a lot of good things going on. Why don't we do a podcast about Washington?" I said, "What is a podcast?" That was the first time, Ken, I ever heard that word, podcast. I know it had been in our vocabulary somewhere, but I hadn't paid attention to it. Janice started me thinking and made my life, we have really established something that I never thought possible and that was we started all over again. Radio without a transmitter. Janice Ockershausen: We liked the idea of the intimate one on one conversation between two friends, whether it's at a bar or over dinner that you haven't seen somebody in a while. So that concept of sharing a relationship with either people you know or people you used to know or people you want to come to know. Andy Ockershausen: Well the thing that made it so possible was your ingenuity in planning this and planning WMAL in the picture. But because of my years in the business and because of all the people I've come in contact with it was easy for me to talk to people because I knew so much about them, maybe things they didn't think that we knew about, but we knew about. The other side of it is they were comfortable with it because they knew who I am and who I was and who I am now is you. Janice Ockershausen: Well a lot of the people that we talked to over Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3 we've had relationships with. You've lived through the news stories with people. We had Maurice Cullinane on in Season 1. You lived through the ... It was just the 50th anniversary of the Resurrection City and the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Andy Ockershausen: Well and being part of what happened and the shooting at the Blair House because of WMAL, way back where I was fortunate enough to start at WMAL and live through all of these things and all these talented people. People in the audience would come and say, oh I know your name because I hear it, I hear it on Harden and Weaver. I hear it on Trumbull and Core. Occasionally Ken Beatrice will talk about you. I hear you during the Redskin games, they drop your name in. So, I was known as WMAL without being a performer. WMAL Always a Breaking News Channel Janice Ockershausen: Still to this day people come up to you and say, "What's going on with WMAL?" It's been what? 30 some years. Andy Ockershausen: Who was it that was just asking me the other day? He said, you're the radio guy? I said yeah. He said, I used to- Janice Ockershausen: That was your doctor. Andy Ockershausen: Yeah and I said, this is my wife Janice Iacona. He said, oh I know that name. I remember listening to Harden and Weaver talk about Janice. I mean this was out of the blue. Janice Ockershausen: Right. I guess the biggest compliment I ever had being the producer for the Harden and Weaver show was an operator, I was calling 411 for information. Or somebody was calling to find out, getting my phone number and they said, "Oh you mean Janice Iacona? The one that works for Harden and Weaver?" So that was the C&P operator I think that it was. So that was my biggest- Andy Ockershausen: That wasn't about the Air Florida crash was it? Janice Ockershausen: No the Air Florida crash was something we both lived through. Andy Ockershausen: Right.

We will look back the 1982 Air Florida crash in Washington DC......it was a day of tragedy and heroism......we look at the politics and selective indignation over President Trump's "hole" remarks......they are praising President Trump in the streets of Iran.........my AT post about "The darkest hour".....Robert Stack (1919-2003).......Keith Jackson died at 89................and other stories..............

In 2012, Congress created a new government agency called FirstNet and tasked it with building a high-speed wireless network that would allow all first responders in the United States to communicate with each other daily and in times of emergencies. In July, FirstNet awarded AT&T with a 25 year contract to do the actual work. In this episode, hear highlights from a recent hearing about this new network as we examine the wisdom of contracting such an important part of our public safety infrastructure to the private sector.

Witnesses: Curtis Brown: Virginia Deputy Secretary of Public Safety & Homeland Security Dr. Damon Darsey: University of Mississippi Medical Center Professor Mark Goldstein: GAO Physical Infrastructure Issues Director Chris Sambar: AT&T FirstNet, Senior Vice President Michael Poth: FirstNet CEO Timestamps & Transcripts 1:10 Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): In 2012 Congress created the First Responder Network Authority to lead the development of a nationwide interoperable public-safety broadband network in the United States. Following the communication’s failures that plagued recovery efforts during 9/11 and other national emergencies, including Hurricane Katrina, there was and still is a clear need for a reliable communications network to support the essential work of our public-safety officials. Such a network would improve coordination among first responders across multiple jurisdictions and enhance the ability of first responders to provide lifesaving emergency services quickly. 6:37 Sen. Brian Schatz (HI): With FirstNet, firefighters will be able to download the blueprint of a burning building before they enter; a police officer arriving at a scene can run a background check or get pictures of a suspect by accessing a federal law enforcement database; most importantly, emergency personnel will not be competing with commercial users for bandwidth. They will have priority on this network, which will be built and hardened to public-safety specifications. It will have rugged eyes and competitive devices and specify public-safety applications. 9:40 Curtis Brown: Last week the governor was proud to announce that Virginia was the first state in the nation to opt in to FirstNet. Virginia opted in to provide current AT&T public-safety subscribers with the benefit of priority services now at no cost to the Commonwealth, as well as the green light to build out of Virginia’s portion of the national public-safety broadband network. We believe that decision to opt in will promote competition within the public-safety communications marketplace, that will reduce costs and drive innovation across all carriers. Opting out was _____(00:31-verily) considered, but the unknown cost and risk associated with deploying and operating a network was not feasible. 19:45 Mark Goldstein: In March 2017 FirstNet awarded a 25-year contract to AT&T to build, operate, and maintain the network. FirstNet’s oversight of AT&T’s performance is very important, given the scope of the network and the duration of the contract. Among GAO’s findings in the report are the following: first, FirstNet has conducted key efforts to establish the network, namely releasing the requests for proposal for the network and awarding the network contract to AT&T. As the contractor, AT&T will be responsible for the overall design, development, production, operation, and evolution of the network. 24:35 Chris Sambar: The AT&T team that I lead is dedicated exclusively to FirstNet. I expect this group to grow to several-hundred employees by this year’s end as we hire people across the country with a broad range of skill sets to help us ramp up our network build out. Overall, AT&T expects to spend $40 billion over the lifetime of this contract and to build an operating unique, nationwide, interoperable, IP-based, high-speed mobile network, encrypted at its core, that will provide first responders priority, primary users with preemption and all other users during times of emergency and network congestion. The First Responder Network will be connected to and leverage off AT&T’s world-class telecommunications platform, valued at nearly $180 billion, including a wireless network that reaches 99.6% of the U.S. population. In addition, AT&T will support first responders 24 by 7 by 365 with a dedicated security-operation center and help desk. We will provide first responders with a highly secure application ecosystem as well as a highly competitive flexible pricing on equipment and services that they select for their unique needs. One of the most important resources that AT&T brings to bear on the new First Responder Network is our best-in-class national disaster-recovery team. We have spent more than a 130,000 working hours on field exercises and disaster-recovery deployments over the last two decades. This team combines network infrastructure, support trailers, recovery engineering-software applications, and boots on the ground filled by full-time and volunteer AT&T disaster-response team members. In order to support the First Responder Network, AT&T will increase its disaster-recovery fleet by adding 72 new custom-designed vehicles, just for the FirstNet mission. 26:55 Chris Sambar: Possibilities include near real-time information on traffic conditions, which can help determine the best route to an emergency for a first responder; wearable sensors and cameras for police and firefighters to help give them better situational awareness and camera-equipped drones and robots that will be able to deliver real-time imagery. Our FirstNet efforts are expected to create 10,000 U.S. jobs over the next two years as well as significant public-private infrastructure investment. 30:25 Michael Poth: We’ve created and delivered state plans on June 19 to 50 states, two territories, and the District of Columbia three months ahead of schedule, and as mentioned, the five governors from five great states have already opted in. None of this could be possible, though, without the public-private framework that Congress established for the FirstNet network, by leveraging private-sector resources, infrastructure, cost savings, public-private partner synergies to deploy, operate, and maintain the system. FirstNet can be now deployed quickly, efficiently, and cost effectively. 36:10 Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): Dr. Darsey mentioned that the Mississsippi wireless communications commission has expressed concerns about FirstNet’s commitment to hardening the network. You mentioned this in your testimony, the need for FirstNet infrastructure to be hardened. Can you discuss why that’s important, and is it more important in the rural areas, and also, in your experience, how do broadband needs differ between urban and rural communities with respect to providing emergency medical services? Dr. Damon Darsey: Sure. Thanks for the question. I’ll give you an example. Couple years ago we had a tornado, as you well remember, that took out a hospital in the northeast part of our state. And the medical center has got a pretty robust program to respond to that, and we did. The challenge in that was it took out a couple of commercial towers, but it did not, after a fairly close hit, take out one of our hardened public-safety communication towers. What that did for us is we lost all ability to communicate data out of that area, which was vital in moving and evacuating the hospital, nursing home, and recovering the people that were there. That’s the piece that is the concern that I think we share, all of us here, of how do we make that as hardened as possible. In terms of rural and urban, from a medical perspective we can do a lot more, as our team is showing in Mississippi and other states, if we know about the patient well before they get close to a hospital. If we can reach out and touch the stroke patient in the middle of the Mississippi Delta, we can dramatically increase their chances of survival and meaningful use after arrival to the hospital. Currently, we’re doing that over radio, and it’s working really well, but now imagine that in the rural areas. In urban areas, it’s vital in the medical world, but here we’re five minutes from multiple hospitals. Now take that as a 45 or 50 minutes away, and what we can do with broadband data in that time is truly life saving and saving of healthcare dollars. There’s a nexus here that FirstNet can combine both of those. 41:00 Michael Poth: Numerous bids were in, and they were analyzed with a great level of detail, and through that process that the Department of Interior assisted us with as the acquisition experts, AT&T came out as the prevailing solution and prevailing company provider. Sen. Bill Nelson (FL): The question is why. Poth: Well, the value that they’re bringing with their existing infrastructure, their ability and size, their financial sustainability to be able to take on something of this nature, and their lowest-risk approach to implementing this in the shortest time was truly some of the value propositions that made them more competitive than some of the other bids that were analyzed. 42:13 Chris Sambar: The initial RFP that FirstNet released contemplated building out a public-safety broadband network using just band class 14, and we responded accordingly. But through discussions, we decided we would extend it beyond just the band class 14, which is the spectrum that was allocated for first responders in 2012. We said we would open up all of the spectrum bands within AT&T. So, essentially, what that means is the day that a state opts in, they have immediate access to AT&T’s entire network, all spectrum bands, and they will see the benefits of FirstNet on all spectrum bands, all wireless towers, from AT&T that are LTE enabled. So I think that’s a tremendous benefit that FirstNet was not expecting when they contemplated the original RFP. But when we brought that, I think they were very pleased with that, and that helped us. Sen. Bill Nelson (FL): So, you’re going to have a level playing field for all device manufacturers. Sambar: Absolutely, sir. 43:15 Sen. Bill Nelson (FL): There must have been some folks in Virginia that suggested that you opt out of the network and chart your own path. Tell me the benefits to Virginia’s first responders of the governor’s decision to opt in. Curtis Brown: Thank you, Senator. The decision to opt in was really based on looking at the benefits that comes with opt in, the immediate priority and preemption services that would come for those who are subscribers to the network. And a major thing, Senator, is to the fact that it comes at no cost to the Commonwealth. We have been disproportionately impacted by sequestration and other aspects—the governor had to close a 300-million-dollar budget deficit—and so looking at the cost it would take to build a network and sustain it, it just was not feasible. 47:45 Chris Sambar: We initially envisioned, when we launched the State Plan portal on June 19, that we would have roughly 50 user IDs and passwords per state. That would be 50 individuals who would access the portal. We immediately got feedback that states wanted more, and we are offering more. So, we have a state right now, as a matter of fact, 227 login and user IDs have been issued. So, it shouldn’t be an issue for a state if they have additional people. The only requirements we have, Senator, is that, as Mr. Poth said, that it’s an official email address, somebody in the state who works for the state— Unknown Senator: Right. Sambar: —or an authorized consultant. Either of those is fine. We just don’t want, like, a @gmail, @hotmail, someone that we don’t know who they are. Unknown Senator: Right, okay. 53:14 Michael Poth: How do the states hold us accountable? As FirstNet shifts gears from developing a proposal and making an award, for the next 25 years we are going to be in a position to work with the states, continuous and public safety in all of those states, to make sure that all of their expectations, both from the State Plans and in the future, are being met and translated. If appropriate, we back into contractual actionable items. Or if AT&T, for example, is not meeting the requirements or the expectations, FirstNet will, on behalf of public safety and those states, enforce the terms of the contract. 54:55 Michael Poth: Canada is using the same exact spectrum that we’ll be utilizing with AT&T, so there’s a lot of synergies. We’ve spent a great deal of time coordinating and comparing notes with Canada and the public-safety entities in that country as to what we’re doing so that there is the inoperability between the countries will also be realized. 1:08:50 Chris Sambar: So we have had a number of states as well as federal agencies we’ve been in communication with, and some of the states have been very direct that they’re interested us putting our LTE equipment on state-, city-, municipal-owned assets. That would give them the benefit of revenue from AT&T through a lease agreement. It would also give us a benefit of being able to build out the network faster. 1:24:20 Michael Poth: AT&T’s already been doing this, as mentioned, for years with their fleet of 700 deployables. Now with the 72 dedicated, which are much smaller units which is going to give us the ability to maybe get those into areas that are a little tougher to get to, we’re very excited about that. That is an absolute addition to the solution that we’re going to be able to bring to public safety quickly. 1:25:50 Chris Sambar: So, we will be building out band class 14 over the coming five years across a significant portion of our network. In the meantime, before band class 14 is built out, we will be using our commercial network. There are requirements in the contract with FirstNet over how quickly we need to build out band class 14, and we have to hit those milestones in order to receive the payments due to us from FirstNet. If we don’t hit those milestones, we don’t receive the payments, so we will be aggressively building out band class 14 for first responders. Again, in the meantime, they will have access to all of AT&T’s bands. So to say it simply, if you are a first responder, Senator, you will not know whether you’re on band class 14 or any other AT&T band, but you will have the exact same experience regardless of what band you are on on AT&T network. Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): Your position isn’t the service that’s provided, and the consumer and the public-safety user, to them it will be immaterial where it’s coming from. Sambar: The way I like to say— Exactly. The way I say it is this: public safety has been told for many years that the magic of FirstNet happens on band class 14, and we’ve changed that. That’s not correct anymore. The magic happens on the AT&T network period, and it doesn’t matter where you are, you’re going to have the exact same experience. So we’ve extended it far beyond the band class 14 to our entire network. Wicker: Will you build out the class 14 spectrum only where it is economically viable, or will you build it out where there is written requirement in the arrangement between you and FirstNet? Sambar: We are building band class 14 where we need the capacity in our network. So in order to provide priority and preemptive services to first responders and have enough capacity for everyone that’s on the network, including the first responders, there are places where we will need additional capacity; that’s where we’re building— Wicker: And you will determine that need. Sambar: AT&T, based on capacity triggers—obviously, we’ve been doing this for a long time—based on capacity triggers that we see in the network, we build out band class 14 as additional capacity on individual—and this is done on a tower-by-tower basis. 1:28:00 Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): Are you able to say what approximate percentage of the lower 48 landmass will be covered by band class 14 build out? Chris Sambar: Unfortunately, I am not, Senator. That’s proprietary between FirstNet and AT&T. I would say, again, it’s a significant portion, though. Wicker: Can you be more specific than “significant”? Sambar: That would be proprietary, Senator. I apologize. Wicker: And what makes it proprietary? Sambar: The specific details of the contract between FirstNet and AT&T. There’s a number of specific details that are proprietary, Senator. Wicker: That is proprietary and not available to the public— Sambar: That’s correct, Senator. Wicker: —or to the Congress. Sambar: That’s correct, Senator. 1:29:35 Sen. Roger Wicker: Then in terms of this coverage, which you said really shouldn’t matter what band it’s coming over— Chris Sambar: Mm-hmm. Wicker: —are you able to say what percentage of the lower 48 landmass will be covered in one way or the other? Sambar: One way or the other? Wicker: Yes. Apart, of course, from the deployables. Sambar: So, 99.6% of the U.S. population will be covered by AT&T’s network. 1:39:05 Chris Sambar: The vast major—as we understand it, based on our research and FirstNet’s research—the vast majority of firefighters, for example, are not issued devices for their daily use at work, especially volunteer firefighters. Greater than 70% of police officers are in the same situation: they are not provided a device. They’re using their personal devices. We are going to make available the FirstNet network to all of those first responders, regardless of whether you’re a volunteer, whether your agency provides you a device, or whether you bring your own personal device. They will have access to the FirstNet network. Once we can verify their credentials and ensure that we have the right people on the network, they will have access to all of those features and benefits, and it will come at a significantly lower price than they’re paying today for their personal or commercial service. So it’s a tremendous benefit to all first responders. 1:39:55 Sen. Roger Wicker (MS): On user fees, will they cost the same for all network users, or will they vary by regions, public-safety agencies, or states? Chris Sambar: It’s difficult to answer because there are different use cases, so it depends. If you’re a large department and you want unlimited data and you have a number of applications that you want preinstalled on the device and you have mobile-device management software, that would be one use case. There may be a rural department that wants to connect body cameras and dashboard video camera from a police department. It will depend on the use case. Wicker: So it’s use case and not regions and states. Sambar: That’s correct, sir. Wicker: That would be the variable. Sambar: That’s correct. Hearing: Public Safety Communications; House Committee Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, September 29, 2005. Witnesses: David Boyd: Homeland Security Dept SAFECOM Program Director Timothy Roemer: Member of the 9/11 Commission, Director of the Center for National Policy Art Botterell: Emergency Information Consultant Timestamps & Transcripts 30:44 David Boyd: Interoperability’s not a new issue. It was a problem in Washington, D.C. when the Air Florida flight crashed into the Potomac in 1982, in New York City when the Twin Towers were first attacked in 1993, in 1995 when the Murrah Building was destroyed in Oklahoma City, and in 1999 at Columbine. Too many public-safety personnel cannot communicate by radio, because their equipment is still incompatible, or the frequencies they are assigned to are different and they haven’t got bridging technologies available. They operate on 10 different frequency bands, and they run communication systems that are often proprietary and too often 30 or more years old. Over 90% of the nation’s public-safety wireless infrastructure is financed, owned, operated, and maintained by the more than 60,000 individual local jurisdictions—police, fire, and emergency services—that serve the public. 1:43:00 Timothy Roemer: Let me give you a couple examples of what the 9/11 Commission found as to some of these problems. We found all kinds of compelling instances of bravery and courage, people going into burning buildings and rescuing people. They might have rescued more. We might have saved more of the fire department chiefs, officers, police officers, emergency personnel, if they would have had public-radio spectrum to better communicate. At 9:59 in the morning on 9/11 four years ago, a general evacuation order was given to firefighters in the North Tower. The South Tower had collapsed. A place that held up to 25,000 people had been diminished to cement, steel, and ash. The people, then, in the North Tower, many of the chiefs in the lobby, didn’t even know that the other tower had collapsed, or else they might have been able to get more people out more quickly. We had comments from people saying such things as, we didn’t know it had collapsed. Somebody actually said, Mr. Chairman, that people watching TV had more information than we did in the lobby on 9/11 in the North Tower. People on TV in Florida or California knew more than our first responders on site in New York City. 1:45:10 Timothy Roemer: Mr. Chairman, then we had a disaster happen in the southern part of our country in New Orleans where we had other communication problems. In New Orleans, there’re three neighboring parishes were using different equipment on different frequencies. They couldn’t communicate. We had National Guard in Mississippi communicating by human courier, not by radio frequencies; and we had helicopters up in the air looking at our own citizens on the roofs of their homes in New Orleans, screaming and yelling for help, but they couldn’t talk in the helicopters with the boats in the water to try to find out who was rescued, who wasn’t, and who needed help. 1:55:45 Art Botterell: Third, we can no longer afford to rely on vendor-driven design of our emergency-communications infrastructure. Businesses are responsible for maximizing shareholder value, not for protecting the public welfare. We need independent sources of information and planning for our future emergency infrastructure lest we continue to get updated versions of the same old thing.

They say God never gives you more than you can handle. On January 13, 1982, He sure as hell attempted to do so to the city of Washington, DC. Snow cascaded from the sky, making driving home from work to the suburbs a treacherous undertaking. At National Airport, an Air Florida flight with a crew inexperienced in flying under winter conditions waited impatiently for takeoff. And underneath the city, an improperly closed rail switch and a subway train packed to the gills would have a devastating introduction to one another.

Mission encre noire Tome 18 Chapitre 237 Voici la deuxième partie des suggestions pour les fêtes: De si jolies petites plages de Jean-claude Charles paru en 2016 aux éditions Mémoire d'encrier. Romancier, poète, essayiste et journaliste né en 1949 à Port-au-prince et décédé à Paris en 2008, Jean-claude Charles publie en 1982 un livre/enquête coup de poing qui nous relate la génèse des premiers boat people haïtiens en Amérique. Son écriture ne tremble pas pour nous narrer l'absurde des contraintes imposées aux réfugiés. Un livre/colère dont la pertinence est malheureusement toujours d'une actualité brûlante. Extrait:«Vendredi 4 septembre 1981, 7h30. Un avion d'Air Florida décolle de l'aéroport international de Miami, avec à son bord 120 haïtiens. Provenance des passagers: le camp de Krome. Destination: le pénitencier d'Otisville, prison de haute sécurité dans le nord de l'État de New York. Sept gardes frontaliers d'El Paso, spécialement entraînés à mater les émeutes, et un interprète créolophone accompagnent ces futurs pensionnaires d'un établissement récemment utilisé à incarcérer, à côtés des prisonniers de droit commun pour lequel en principe il est fait, des étudiants iraniens pro-khomeinystes-le symbole est de taille.» Jean Désy publie en 2016 Amériquoisie aux éditions Mémoire d'encrier. Jean Désy vous propose une magnifique parole d'Amérique, une amérique d'épinette noire où il n'est pas interdit de rêver. C'est une réflexion sur le fait métis et le nomadisme physique et culturel, rédigée d'une plume désarmante et lyrique. Pour celles et ceux qui ont apprécié le film Québécoisie, un must ! Extrait:«Il me semble qu'il persiste un déchirement détestable qui hante de nombreux québécois francophones et les empêche d'unifier deux grands désirs, soit le désir d'autonomie (si essentiel pour tout peuple digne) associé à l'envie de voir fleurir le fait français en Amérique, avec un autre désir, tout aussi puissant, mais probablement plus caché, qui est celui de n'a pas créer de nouvelles frontières.» Un monde meilleur de Marcus Sakey paru en 2016 aux éditions Série noire chez Gallimard Tome 2 de la trilogie des Brillants s'annonce comme un tourneur de page des plus efficace. Comment faire pour survivre dans un monde qui vous rejette lorsque vous possédez des dons hors du commun ? 1% de la population des USA, les Brillants, font face à ce dilemme depuis les années 1980. La tâche se complique lorsqu'une partie de cette minorité se rebelle et réclame le pouvoir. Nick Cooper est appelé une fois de plus à la rescousse. Dans un univers dystopique qui n'a rien à envier à Blade runner, Marcus Sakey utilise les outils du polar et de la science fiction pour mettre en place un suspense des plus efficace. Extrait:«Clay conserva une expression affable, mais les trois autres échangèrent des regards en consultant leurs notes. Cooper sentait qu'ils adoptaient une attitude de retrait. Peu importe. Puisque tu es là, autant dire la vérité. «Eh bien, prenez maintenant en considération le point de vue des Brillants. Les enfants niveau un sont enlevés de force à leur famille et envoyés dans des académies. Sans procès équitable ni jury, le DAR tue les Brillants qu'il considère comme une menace pour la société. Grâce à l'initiative Surveillance et contrôle, chaque Brillant américain se verra implanter une micropuce dans le cou...» Autres temps, autre moeurs, Le cavalier de Saint-Urbain de Mordecai Richler paru en 2016 aux éditions Boréal. Lori Saint-Martin et Paul Gagné présente une nouvelle fois une copie sans faute, pour une traduction du fameux roman de Mordecai Richler paru initialement en 1971. L'un des grands romans de l'écrivain, Le cavalier de Saint-urbain dépeint la réussite sociale d'un homme, Jack Hersh, qui, par mauvaise fréquentation risque de tout perdre lors d'un procès pour agression sexuelle. Lasser, par une situation si absurde, l'homme se laisse aller à l'autodérision. Le Cavalier de Saint-Urbain est un livre satirique jouissif. Extrait:«En le voyant se diriger d'un pas titubant vers la table basse et saisir la bouteille, elle songea: Oh mon Dieu, pourquoi a-t-il fallu qu'il quitte Montréal, cet idiot? Qui, au lendemain de la guerre, n'aurait pas donné n'importe quoi en échange d'un passeport canadien? Pas un juif ne se serait prosterné à plat ventre pour être admis dans un si bon pays. «Voici», dit jake en chancelant, un livre dans une main, son verre dans l'autre. Il lut à haute voix:«Quand je contemple ma vie passée, je n'y découvre rien qu'une stérile perte de temps, assaisonnée de dérangements du corps et de l'esprit, avoisinant la folie, qui, je l'espère, permettront à mon Créateur de me pardonner mes nombreuses fautes et de m'excuser mes nombreuses imperfections.» Ma terre est un fond d'océan de Serge Lamothe paru en 2016 aux éditions Mémoire d'encrier. dans ce troisième recueil de poésie, le poète sort une langue matraque pour répondre à l'âme meurtrie d'une humanité qui souffre. Les mots se chargent de déranger l'universelle bêtise. «Attentif à l'autre, à sa fragilité, le poème fait son nid à l'endroit même où chacun de nous se sait mortel.» Extrait:«le désert de mes mots se peuple de brigands/une traînée d'insultes retient la boue/qui me dévore les lèvres»   Mission encre noire sera de retour le 12 janvier 2017, je vous souhaite de passer de belles fêtes !
