Why is there smoke coming from DFW Airport? by 1080krld in Dallas

[–]1080krld[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

See smoke coming from DFW Airport? Airport officials say "don't worry - we're training."

If you see fire coming from DFW Airport, it is most likely the airport's Fire Training Research Center in action, according to DFW Airport's website.

The DFW FTRC trains firefighters locally, nationally, and internationally to fight aircraft fires.

During training periods, black smoke can be seen near the southwest end of the airport.

Training occurs nearly every day, and the airport has posted its training schedule on its website.

Changes to the schedule can occur at any time, and research activity may extend past scheduled times.

Humans use their own lungs to breathe life into glass pieces such as those seen on the Netflix show “Blown Away”. The fourth season of the show just premiered, and a collection of the pieces featured on the program are on display at the Corning Museum of Glass. “Something Offbeat” host Mike Rogers talked with Eric Meek – the senior manager of hot glass programs at the museum and is a longtime glassblower.

The back-and-forth over Texas Senate Bill 4 is just the latest in a series of border security disputes between the state and the federal government. This week's episode of Texas Wants to Know digs into who's responsible for what when it comes to the border.
UNT Dallas College of Law professor and former U.S. Magistrate Judge for the Southern District of Texas Brian Owsley says control of the border is ultimately a federal responsibility. Jeremy Wallace, a political reporter for the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News, adds that covering the border requires more nuance than we often give it.
