Holy moly.
This was United Flight 328.
Exterior of one of the engine’s caught fire and exterior pieces of the engine fell into yards over Colorado. @michaelagiulia said: “my parents are on this flight 🙃🙃 everyone’s okay though!”
Looking up
Pieces of the engine falling from the sky
This is believed to be the moment when the engine exploded

.@JoshGuilloryUSA, Mayor-President of Lafayette, LA, calls @LouisianaGov “hypocritical” for criticizing the city councils rejection of a mask mandate. Guillory, who won’t use city resources to enforce a state mandate, makes a valid point: the state isn’t enforcing its own mandate
The mayor president’s reference to zero enforcement taken appears to be a reaction to our report, 5 days ago, which noted that of 3,669 masking complaints received since the Governor instituted a mask mandate, zero enforcement has been taken.
The state fire marshal, which is an enforcement agency tasked by the governors with enforcing the mask mandate, has chosen to educate rather than punish, according to the agency’s spokeswoman.

NEW THREAD: Today, Louisiana’s Governor blasted the Lafayette City Council after its rejected, last week, a mask mandate. @LouisianaGov told @washingtonpost: “It's a basic failure of leadership, you know, & there's a partisan edge
to this that quite frankly,
I don't understand.”
Here’s the full response from @LouisianaGov: “let me be clear,
the mask mandate
is enforce in effect
all across the state of Louisiana. The Lafayette city council
doesn't have the authority
to opt out of that mandate...”
“... They took an action,
saying that they weren't going
to enforce it at their level,
and that's regrettable,
it's unfortunate
because that region of our state,
at numerous times
throughout the pandemic,
has actually had some of
the highest positivity rates
and...”

I went home to Lafayette, LA. to cover a story that’s deeply divided people there: masks & mandates. The Mayor won’t enforce @LouisianaGov’s state mandate & the state fire marshal won’t either, other than to educate when a complaint comes in. 1 family is at the center of it all.
Dr. @ashishkjha, Dean of the School of Public Health at Brown University, said, about to the Lafayette report: “mask mandates, asking people to wear masks is such a small step that we all can take, & we have mandates that that require us to do things all the time...” (1/14)
“... We're not allowed to drink and drive. We’re not allowed to smoke inside restaurants and bars and lots of other places. So we have a long tradition of putting in what a really modest restrictions we've got to do that with mask mandates...” (2/14)

Oh the irony. The mayor president of my hometown Lafayette Louisiana has issued a stay at home ORDER & curfew due to a winter storm but he doesn’t want to issue a mask mandate when it comes to a pandemic, only preaching personal responsibility facebook.com/16600902679966… Image
Presumably the mayor is worried about public safety, & the inability of 1st responders to reach people if roads are iced over. Last week a local Dr. asked the city Council to pass a mask mandate b/c of fears that another surge would overwhelm hospitals. The council rejected that

While New Orleans’ Mayor cancelled Mardi Gras, as we know it, west in Lafayette, which has no local restrictions, the Mayor-President “has repeatedly refused to enact or enforce commonsense restrictions intended to slow the spread of the coronavirus.” bayoubrief.com/2021/02/12/kre…
“Whether it’s in his official capacity as Mayor-President of Lafayette or at a clandestine Mardi Gras speakeasy, Josh Guillory has not prioritized the health of Lafayette residents over business interests or his own personal desire to laissez les bons temps rouler.”
You would never normally see Bourbon Street empty on the Friday before Mardi Gras. This year it’s different because bars are closed and no one is allowed to hang out on Bourbon after 7 PM.

THREAD: I asked the fmr mayor of San Juan Puerto Rico @CarmenYulinCruz to explain why food, cots, tarps & other donated items were found in storage rooms at the coliseum in San Juan. You can see the report from @jayfonsecapr & @TatianaOrtizPR & team here:

Here’s the mayors response: “Regarding the food: what was shown on the video rice and water were nor supplies for people in need. They were supplies used to prepare lunch and dinner for our employees...”
“... When it domes to other supplies there are there in case there is a need so that we may be able to respond it is called been prepared.

This administration has been in office for 40 days...”
