Investigators have revealed that the crew of the Amazon Air aircraft that crashed over the weekend, leaving five people dead, discussed excessive speed in the moments before the accident. The revelation comes as the widow of one of those who died filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Amazon and its aviation partners. Cargo operations at Miami Airport were broadly back to normal within a few hours of the crash, but Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials have continued to warn that delays to passenger services could mean disruption for belly cargo movements. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has now released a description of what was picked up by the flight recorder, which noted less than two minutes before the crash that one of the two pilots “cautioned they were too fast”. According to the NTSB, that pilot then “made additional comments regarding the aircraft’s excessive speed throughout the remainder of the recording. There was not a consistent verbal response to the comments about speed”. The aircraft touched down at 158 knots, while local reports also noted that it touched down around halfway along the runway. The aircraft subsequently overshot the runway by some 400m, left the airport perimeter and crossed a road, striking vehicles, including a van carrying a crew of aircraft cleaners, before coming to rest and catching fire. Rescue crews had to extricate the pilots from the cockpit, with NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy confirming that the five cleaners in the van struck by the 767 were killed, with a further five people injured, three critically. The widow of one of those killed has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Amazon and its aviation partners, accusing them of negligence, including inadequate personnel training and the use of an unairworthy aircraft. The allegations have not been proven and the NTSB investigation into the cause of the accident continues. Meanwhile,CBS Newshas uncovered records showing that safety concerns had previously been raised by former 21 Air employees. According toCBS, veteran pilot Karl Seuring filed a complaint with the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), alleging he had been fired after raising safety concerns at the carrier. OSHA rejected his complaint, but he appealed, leading to a Department of Labor tribunal before a federal administrative judge in 2023.CBSreported that a ruling in the case was still pending. Mr Seuring and other former pilots have alleged that 21 Air discouraged safety reporting and put pressure on crews over rest requirements, allegations the company has denied. There is no indication that the issues raised in the case were connected to Sunday’s accident, which remains under investigation.

Blog | Qualità dell’aria, cosa ci dicono 11 modelli Copernicus sull’inquinamento in Europa - Info Data Il Sole 24 ORE
Inquinamento ed eventi estremi sono una coppia pericolosa. Il caldo accelera alcune reazioni chimiche nell’atmosfera. La siccità prepara il terreno agli incendi. Le inversioni termiche intrappolano le polveri. E il vento può trasportare fumo e particolato per centinaia di chilometri. È uno dei messaggi del rapporto 2025 sullaqualità dell’aria in Europa del Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, CAMS.Nel lungo periodo le emissioni stanno calando. Ma gli episodi acuti restano frequenti e possono avere effetti importanti sulla salute. Copernicus segnala quattro casi nel 2025: un episodio di PM2,5 a febbraio,una forte intrusione di polvere sahariana a marzo, concentrazioni elevate di ozono durante l’ondata di caldo di agosto e il fumo degli incendi nella Penisola Iberica. A febbraio il freddo ha aumentato il ricorso al riscaldamento. Nell’Europa orientale le emissioni di PM2,5 da fonti residenziali sono cresciute di circa l’8%. Poco vento e poche precipitazioni hanno fatto il resto: gli inquinanti sono rimasti sospesi più a lungo. A marzo è arrivato il Sahara. In alcune aree la polvere desertica ha rappresentato oltre il 30% del PM10. A La Valletta, Malta, il contributo ha raggiunto circa l’80%. Ad agosto il problema è stato l’ozono. Non viene emesso direttamente: si forma in atmosfera quando ossidi di azoto e composti organici volatili reagiscono con la luce solare. Caldo e aria stagnante sono una specie di turbo per questa chimica. Sempre ad agosto, gli incendi in Spagna e Portogallo hanno prodotto grandi quantità di PM2,5. Secondo CAMS, in alcuni giorni gli incendi hanno contribuito per circa il 39% alle concentrazioni misurate a Madrid. Il fumo è arrivato fino in Francia. Ma come si misura tutto questo? Qui sta la parte più interessante. Le mappe CAMS non sono una semplice fotografia delle centraline. Sono il risultato di una fusione tra osservazioni e modelli matematici dell’atmosfera. Le centraline misurano gli inquinanti in punti precisi. I modelli simulano invece vento, temperatura, pioggia, emissioni, trasporto delle masse d’aria e reazioni chimiche. Le osservazioni reali vengono poi usate per correggere continuamente la simulazione: è la cosiddetta “data assimilation”. Per l’Europa CAMS utilizza un insieme di 11 modelli diversi. Il risultato finale nasce dalla loro combinazione. È un modo per ridurre il rischio di affidarsi a una sola previsione e per stimare meglio l’incertezza. La risoluzione delle reanalisi europee è di circa 0,1 gradi, cioè una decina di chilometri. In pratica Copernicus ricostruisce una mappa continua della qualità dell’aria anche tra una centralina e l’altra. Poi c’è il passo successivo: capire da dove arriva l’inquinamento. Con simulazioni dedicate CAMS può stimare quanto pesa il traffico, quanto il riscaldamento, quanto l’agrictura, quanto gli incendi o la polvere desertica e quanto arriva da altri Paesi. Ed è qui che il dato diventa politica pubblica. Sapere che l’aria è inquinata serve. Sapere chi ha prodotto quell’inquinamento serve molto di più. Per approfondire.

The world’s largest supplier of seafarers plans to temporarily prohibit Filipino crew from working in high-risk areas in the Middle East
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. The world’s largest supplier of seafarers plans to temporarily prohibit Filipino crew from working in high-risk areas in the Middle East September 11, 2026 In response to recent deaths and injuries of Filipino seafarers on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz thePhilippinesis set to bar the deployment its nationals to certain high-risk areas in the Middle East. The Philippines already gives it seafarers the right to refuse to sail through high-risk areas, but a copy of draft advisory from the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) seen bySeatrade Maritime Newswould take this a significant step further barring owners and crewing agents from deploying Filipino seafarers on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, as well as operations in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The draft DMW advisory details planned temporary restrictions on the deployment of Filipino seafarers in the “covered areas” of the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman. The move is being taken it says is being taken due to the “continuing security threats and the grave and imminent risks to the life, safety, health, and welfare of Filipino seafarers”. Related:The disconnect between charter contracts and seafarer welfare In the draft advisory, which is expected to be issued in the coming days, DMW directs Licensed Manning Agents (LMAs), principles, shipowners, ship managers to refrain from deploying or assigning Filipino seafarers on vessels scheduled to enter or transit the Strait of Hormuz. The bar on deployment would also cover the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, however there is an exception if the vessels operate exclusively in these areas with transiting Hormuz. Each Filipino seafarer deployed in these areas would be required to be fully informed of the security risks, individually affirm their willingness to sail, and have the right to refuse to sail. The advisory would also require LMAs and owners/manager to arrangement for the reassignment, crew change, disembarkation, relocation, or repatriation of Filipino seafarers for vessels entering or transiting the “covered areas”. For Filipino seafarers already deployed in areas covered by the advisory agents and owners/managers would be required to coordinate with the DMW for their “disembarkation, crew change, relocation, or repatriation at the earliest safe and practicable opportunity”. The Philippines will also prohibit the deployment of its seafarers onboard any vessel that has been previously attacked if it is to sail in a high-risk area, regardless any of changes in flag, ownership or management. As the world’s largest supplier of crew to international shipping a number of Filipino seafarers have been killed or injured in attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and the safety of Philippines nationals working overseas including on ships, has been a major political issue in the Southeast Asian nation. Related:10 Filipino seafarers refuse to sail through Strait of Hormuz Earlier this week DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac announced that the Department was investigating shipowners and Philippine manning agencies linked to five vessels, carrying Filipino seafarers, that were attacked or exposed to danger in the Strait of Hormuz and the Black Sea. The probe followed the attack on the Saudi-flagged tankerSidrin the Strait of Hormuz on 31 August killing two of the 16 Filipino crew onboard.

Il richiamo all’ambiente in pubblicità è legittimo se c’è un riscontro oggettivo Il Sole 24 ORE
Le nuove norme
Il principio assume particolare rilievo in una fase in cui il contrasto al greenwashing è sempre più centrale, sia nella normativa europea sia nell’attività delle autorità di controllo. Inoltre, anticipa un quadro che sta per modificarsi sostanzialmente con la piena applicazione del Dlgs 30/2026 che, dal prossimo 27 settembre, cambia il Codice del consumo (Dlgs 206/2005, articoli 18, 21, 22, 23, 48 e 49). La decisione chiarisce, infatti, che non ogni richiamo all’ambiente costituisce automaticamente un green claim illecito: perché vi sia pubblicità ingannevole è necessario dimostrare che il beneficio ambientale vantato sia falso, non verificabile o idoneo a indurre in errore il consumatore.
L’ordinanza conferma che il termine “pura” non è riservato esclusivamente alle acque minerali naturali, poiché la legge tutela la “purezza originaria” delle acque minerali e non il concetto di purezza in senso assoluto.
La Cassazione, invece, accoglie il ricorso della Federazione sotto il profilo risarcitorio e la sentenza è stata cassata con rinvio limitatamente alla quantificazione del danno. Sul piano sostanziale, però, il messaggio della Suprema Corte è chiaro: la sostenibilità può essere legittimamente usata nella comunicazione commerciale quando il vantaggio ambientale dichiarato trova un riscontro oggettivo e verificabile. Non ogni richiamo all’ambiente è greenwashing; lo diventa soltanto quando manca un fondamento reale o il consumatore viene indotto in errore.
