Much has happened since our last PFAS podcast (July 11). The Home Depot, a chain of more than 2,000 home improvement stores in North America, announced it would stop selling rugs and carpets containing per- and poly-fluorinated (aka PFAS) chemicals, which are commonly added to resist stains. A 62-year-old Ellington man's drinking water well tested positive for PFAS chemicals, prompting the state to start sending bottled water to his house. And the Connecticut Interagency PFAS Task Force, formed shortly after a huge June 8 firefighting foam spill at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, is expected to deliver its initial recommendations to Gov. Ned Lamont on Oct. 1. Courant reporter Gregory Hladky pours over the latest PFAS findings on the latest Capitol Watch podcast.

An accident at Bradley International Airport caused tens of thousands of gallons of firefighting foam to leak into the Farmington River in June. That foam contains PFAS, a group of chemicals linked to serious health risks. This hour, we take a look at how this accident happened, and what threats it poses to our health and environment. Here in Connecticut, some lawmakers are just learning about the risks of these “forever chemicals”. We also hear from New Hampshire, where activists have been pushing for action on PFAS water contamination for years. Do you enjoy spending time on the Farmington River? Are you worried about the impact of these chemicals on your health?Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She was a pageant girl who had already garnered six prestigious titles. This included Little Miss Colorado, America's Royale Miss and Little Miss Charlevoix, among others. With her blonde hair, blue eyes and gorgeous smile she had a bright future ahead of her. JonBenét's parents were a wealthy couple living in Boulder Colorado. Her dad, John was a multi-millionaire businessman and her mother, Patricia, was a socialite and former beauty queen herself. Both parents were fond of their daughter and provided her everything she could ever need in their luxury plush home. It was 5:45 AM when Patsy Ramsey called 911 weeping and distraught, saying that her daughter, JonBenét had been kidnapped. Within 7 minutes, the first responders were already at the home. John led the officers inside into the kitchen where on the table was a three-page handwritten note from the supposed kidnapper. #2 Black Triangle UFO's Since the early 80s, sightings of mysterious black triangle ships in the sky have been reported all over the world. These mysterious crafts are just as described - they have a triangle shape and are made from black or dark metal with flashing lights underneath. Among the first sightings of this type of UFO are those reportedly seen in Hudson Valley. It was 1983 when residents in the Hudson Valley of New York, reported a large craft fly over the area. (some say it was the size of a house and others reported it being as big as a football field) The craft had a distinct boomerang or triangular shape and had flashing lights on its underside. Witnesses also noted that it was made from a gunmetal or grayish color material. More than 5,000 people claimed seeing the huge ship and this included ordinary civilians, scientists and police officers. It was completely silent and slow moving and everyone was overwhelmed at the sheer size of it. Police were baffled when calls started coming in about the craft. Moreover, many estimate the ship was flying low at around 500-800 feet above the ground. The nearby Bradley International Airport neither confirmed nor denied the existence of the craft but said that if they had anything on radar it was most likely a weather balloon. However, most of the residents and witnesses aren't buying that explanation.

     What's the history of Bradley International Airport and why is it named for someone from Oklahoma? Is it time to change the name? On the 75th anniversary of Bradley Field (almost to the day) CT Explored's Elizabeth Normen talks with Jerry Roberts of the New England Air Museum about the past, present, and future of Connecticut's international airport and air museum.
