Drunk Pilots Face Accusations After Libyan Private Jet Crash

Two pilots of a 2026 Cessna Citation Latitude private jet crashed on landing at Misrata International Airport in Libya, with prosecutors alleging they were flying under the influence; they were detained pending pretrial review. The Turkish-operated jet, which had departed Istanbul Atatürk Airport to pick up VIP passengers, carried three people (a German pilot, a Turkish co-pilot, and a Turkish flight attendant) and suffered a fiery runway crash with no injuries. The operator, BKNJET Aviation Co., disputed the alcohol allegations, saying no verified evidence had been received as investigations continue and the airport disruption was short.

LA crosswalk tragedy nets $176M verdict for Iskander family

A Los Angeles civil jury found socialite Rebecca Grossman and former MLB pitcher Scott Erickson negligent and acted with malice in the 2020 deaths of 11-year-old Mark Iskander and 8-year-old Jacob Iskander, awarding their family $176 million in wrongful-death and emotional-distress damages, with a potential second phase to consider punitive damages; Grossman is already serving 15 years to life after a 2024 criminal conviction for second-degree murder. Witnesses testified the pair had been drinking and may have been street racing, with Grossman’s car hitting the boys at about 73 mph in a marked crosswalk, throwing Mark more than 250 feet and leaving Jacob across the road. The verdict breakdown included $59M for Mark, $48M for Jacob, $35M to their mother Nancy, and $34M to Zachary.
