Passenger describes moments when man attacks attendant on Miami-bound flight, swallows rosary beads
SUMMARY: A Miami-bound flight from Savannah became chaotic when 31-year-old Dange Augustine exhibited erratic behavior shortly after takeoff. Witnesses reported he screamed, stomped, and kicked a flight attendant in the chest, leading the pilot to turn the plane back to Savannah. Passengers, including Rob Rosenberg, described Augustine’s actions as violent and unsettling, including swallowing rosary beads and damaging seats. After the plane landed, Augustine continued to struggle violently, requiring three taser deployments and a haircutting intervention to release his grip on his sister. He faced multiple charges while claiming they were fleeing spiritual attacks, marking the event as exceptionally disturbing for passengers.

SpaceX delays flight to replace NASA’s stuck astronauts after launch pad problem
SUMMARY: Summarize this content to 100 words: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A launch pad problem prompted SpaceX to delay a flight to the International Space Station on Wednesday to replace NASA’s two stuck astronauts.The new crew needs to get to the International Space Station before Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams can head home after nine months in orbit.Concerns over a critical hydraulic system arose less than four hours before the Falcon rocket’s planned evening liftoff from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. As the countdown clocks ticked down, engineers evaluated the hydraulics used to release one of the two arms clamping the rocket to its support structure. This structure needs to tilt back right before liftoff.Already strapped into their capsule, the four astronauts awaited a final decision, which came down with less than an hour remaining in the countdown. SpaceX canceled for the day. The company did not immediately announce a new launch date, but noted the next try could be as early as Thursday night.Once at the space station, the U.S., Japanese and Russian crew will replace Wilmore and Williams, who have been up there since June. The two test pilots had to move into the space station for an extended stay after Boeing’s new Starliner capsule encountered major breakdowns in transit. Starliner’s debut crew flight was supposed to last just a week, but NASA ordered the capsule to return empty and transferred Wilmore and Williams to SpaceX for the return leg.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
