Family of 5 stuck in Atlanta after Delta flight issues
SUMMARY: A family stranded in Atlanta for six days after arriving from Paris attempts to fly out for the third time. They faced two flight cancellations and were left with limited options: returning to Paris, using another airline for over $4,000, or staying in Atlanta at their own expense. Frustrated with Delta’s lack of assistance, they learned they must rent a car to reach South Dakota without reimbursement. Hoping their noon flight goes smoothly, they continue to face travel chaos. For updates on travel issues, tips can be sent by texting ‘delays’ to 404-885-7611.
After several delays and two cancelled flights, they’re still miles from home in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and have spent hundreds on hotels and transportation https://www.11alive.com/article/travel/delta-family-5-stuck-atlanta-flight-trip-paris-outage-crowdstrike/85-ee2f6bba-c0c9-45ab-bebf-2ee7ebcefd70

Tech that helped get responders to Apalachee shooting | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Appalache High School’s recently installed Panic alarm system played a critical role during a shooting incident, credited with saving lives by immediately alerting police and triggering a lockdown. The panic buttons, worn by teachers around their necks, allowed for quick communication in an emergency. Within minutes, school resource officers confronted the shooter. The system, known as CICS, sent real-time alerts and coordinates to first responders, aiding their rapid response. Experts emphasize that while such technology enhances safety, it is part of a larger, complex strategy for school security, requiring trained law enforcement presence and a combination of safety measures.
FOX 5 is taking a closer look at the panic alarm system installed in Apalachee High School first responders have credited with saving lives during Wednesday’s tragic shooting.
