Bo Snerdley with New Journey, here with a dire warning. We could easily lose the Black voters who voted for Trump if we take them for granted like the Democrat Party did for nearly 70 years. If you want to see Black voters support America First Policies in 2025 and turn out for Republican candidates like Winsome Sears, then we need to start the work today.

The fire was put out by several emergency vehicles using water and foam. The flames were too widespread on the plane.

Officials confirmed that JAL Flight 516 departed from Shin Chitose Airport in Japan and flew to Haneda. Haneda Airport is one of Japan’s busiest.

All services and runways at the airport have been suspended.
