Plane forced to return to JFK Airport after horse on board gets loose

​

In the air traffic control audio, a pilot is heard saying, "We are a cargo plane with a live animal, a horse, on board. The horse managed to escape its stall. There's no issue with flying, but we need to go back to New York as we can't resecure the horse."

Rivian software update bricks infotainment system, fix not obvious

Never auto-update critical systems and wait while others get updates to see if there are bugs.

 

 

Burning under water, that car is a tool of Satan.

Brazen Burglars Are Crashing Vehicles Into Stores
West Coast, with more lenient law-enforcement policies, has been hard hit, current and former officials say




The surge in motor-vehicle thefts has been propelled, in part, by more Hyundais and Kias being stolen after social-media challenges were issued last year. Police have said those vehicles typically are used for joy riding or committing other crimes.
While this type of break-in has been around for decades, criminals are increasingly driving into storefronts, rather than the more standard practice of hooking chains onto vehicles to pull out a specific item of value, like a safe, said James Dudley, former San Francisco deputy police chief.
“They’re figuring that if they break through the front doors, they can get away with whatever is of value inside before police can respond,” said Dudley, a lecturer in criminal justice studies at San Francisco State University.

 

Coast Guard rescues missing sailor adrift in tattered vessel 270 miles off North Carolina coast

​

The Coast Guard Atlantic Area command center issued an urgent marine message broadcasting a description of the man’s boat to other sailors. Cmdr. Wes Geyer, search and rescue mission coordinator, described the search area as "nearly twice the size of Texas" and the seas as "very unforgiving."

Police: Woman drove around railroad crossing's arms killing her, passenger in NC

It happened in the Rowland community of Robeson County.

"The gates were down. The gates in front of the track. And she had drove around the end of one gate. And was going through the railroad crossing,” said Rowland Police Chief Hubert Graham.

The crash split the car in half.

Commercial Flights Are Experiencing 'Unthinkable' GPS Attacks and Nobody Knows What to Do

Commercial air crews are reporting something “unthinkable” in the skies above the Middle East: novel “spoofing” attacks have caused navigation systems to fail in dozens of incidents since September.
In late September, multiple commercial flights near Iran went astray after navigation systems went blind. The planes first received spoofed GPS signals, meaning signals designed to fool planes’ systems into thinking they are flying miles away from their real location. One of the aircraft almost flew into Iranian airspace without permission. Since then, air crews discussing the problem online have said it’s only gotten worse, and experts are racing to establish who is behind it
...
While GPS spoofing is not new, the specific vector of these new attacks was previously “unthinkable,” according to OPSGROUP, which described them as exposing a “fundamental flaw in avionics design.” The spoofing corrupts the Inertial Reference System, a piece of equipment often described as the “brain” of an aircraft that uses gyroscopes, accelerometers, and other tech to help planes navigate. One expert Motherboard spoke to said this was “highly significant.”

I read an article about Russia practicing exactly the same thing but with shipping vessels ... it wouldn't surprise me one bit if this were related

 

I haven't read the article, but as the snippet points out, GPS spoofing is far from new -- it's widely believed to be how Iran managed to capture one of our drones many years ago.

But what is troubling is the claim that they are corrupting the INS -- if that is happening, that is, indeed, a very poorly designed avionics system. The whole idea is that these are separate systems that can therefore be used to cross-check each other. The only interaction should be limited to read-only actions for the purposes of doing the cross checks.

I wonder if the INS is actually using GPS-derived information (such as a timing reference), or if it is more a case of the two systems being connected to the same communications bus that is then somehow letting someone that infiltrates the GPS being able to piggyback over into the INS.

One possibility, which was a tactic that was being actively researched back when I was doing some peripherally-related work, was to pull off the GPS track slowly enough that the INS system didn't have reason to suspect that anything was wrong. Since INS has drift issues, it needs to be periodically corrected. I wonder if this is the "corruption" that they are talking about -- that the INS data is being lured into correcting itself using the slowly, but maliciously, drifting GPS data.

The good news is that aircraft have a built-in way of combatting GPS spoofing owing to their usual orientation relative to the spoofers. The satellites are "up" and the spoofers are "down" -- so use more directional antennas and only rely on signals that are sufficiently above the horizon. There are some technical challenges involved, but there always are.
