A Boston-bound Delta Air Lines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Portugal, disrupting travel plans for more than 280 passengers.

The flight on Sunday from Barcelona, Spain, to Boston, Massachusetts, was diverted to Porto after smoke was detected in the cabin.

Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that 14 passengers required medical attention after the plane landed, citing Portugal's civil protection service.

Of the 14 passengers, four were taken to local hospitals for smoke inhalation and were reportedly only "lightly" affected, the news agency said.

A Delta spokesperson confirmed the Sept. 27 incident to Fox News Digital but did not comment on the hospitalization reports.

The diversion was due to a "reported mechanical issue," the official said.

"The flight landed safely, and we apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels as we work to get them to Boston as safely and quickly as possible," the spokesperson added.

Delta Air Lines said it was working to rebook customers on alternative flights to their final destinations.

The Airbus A330-300 carried 13 crew members and 283 customers.

The air in aircraft cabins "is as good as or better than the air found in offices and homes," according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 

"In rare instances, mechanical issues such as failures of an engine oil seal or recirculation fan bearings can cause fumes to enter the cabin," the FAA notes on its website.

"Airlines are required to report these incidents to the FAA. The FAA investigates the causes and makes sure they’re fixed before the aircraft returns to service."

All airlines are required "to supply clean air to both passengers and crew members," the FAA added.

"Airplanes must be designed to provide the equivalent of 0.55 pounds of fresh air per minute per occupant, a ventilation rate that is consistent with other public environments," the agency's website states.

Other flights have made headlines in recent months after unexpected incidents prompted crews to return to airports or alter their routes.

Earlier this year, a Cape Air flight bound for Boston was forced to return to Nantucket, Massachusetts, shortly after takeoff when the upper section of its main cabin door partially opened mid-flight.

More recently, a Delta Air Lines flight bound for Orlando returned to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport minutes after takeoff due to a reported medical issue involving a pilot.

The Aug. 31 flight, which carried 178 passengers and seven crew members, landed safely before Delta arranged for a new crew to continue the trip to Orlando.

If you thought a truck bed cover was going to protect your belongings and/or food from bears, think again. They're not likely to pop open your tailgate using the handle to snoop around.

But, as you can see in the video below, bears can rip the bed cover off with ease. Not only that, hopping up on top of a truck bed cover in a parking lot and ripping it open is a teachable moment they can pass along to their cubs.

You can't see exactly what momma bear is after, but her cub is definitely taking notes as it figures out how to get onto the bed cover to join her.

It's safe to assume the bear isn't interested in camping gear or tools.

She in all likelihood is sniffing out food the truck owner mistakenly thought would be protected in the bed of the truck by the cover.

Perhaps a picnic basket? Whatever it was the bears caught the scent of, the cover was no match for these two.

There's more knowledge that can be passed along here, aside from the fact that your food is not safe from bears in the bed of your truck under a cover.

CROWD TESTS THEIR LUCK GETTING CLOSE TO WILD BEAR FOR PICTURES AND VIDEO AT MOUNT RAINIER

The Instagram account that shared the viral video recognized that and shared the one rule you need to remember if you encounter a mother bear and her cubs, never get between them.

Also, if you encounter them:

• Stay calm and do not run.

• Give them plenty of space and slowly back away.

• Never approach the cubs — even for a photo.

• Keep dogs leashed and under control.

• Don’t climb a tree; black bears and cubs can climb extremely well.

• If the bear changes behavior because of you, you’re already too close.

• Carry bear spray where bears are present — and keep it accessible, not buried in your backpack.

Peanut butter is a spread by definition, but when the word "spread" appears on a peanut butter jar label, it's most likely satisfying a legal requirement rather than acting as a simple descriptor.

Skippy, a well-known name in the peanut butter world, must label its Natural Peanut Butter Spread as such because it contains palm oil.

Regulations set by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) state that, in order to be classified as peanut butter, a product must contain at least 90% peanuts — otherwise, the word "spread" needs to be included on the label.

REESE'S FAMILY MEMBER ESCALATES BATTLE WITH HERSHEY OVER CHOCOLATE INGREDIENTS, BLASTS 'PR STUNT'

The Skippy website acknowledges this FDA regulation, saying: "Natural Peanut Butter Spreads can include additional ingredients like palm oil or other oils, which are not hydrogenated."

"These spreads may still contain at least 90% peanuts but include other ingredients that place them outside the standard definition of 'peanut butter,'" the website notes.

It wasn't the smoothest journey to get this regulation set in stone.

Back in 1959, an FDA press release included the findings of a survey which showed that "products labeled ‘peanut butter’ had reduced their peanut content as much as 20 percent by substituting cheaper hydrogenated or vegetable oils for expensive peanuts and peanut oil," according to the FDA.

When manufacturers asked about adding glycerin to peanut butter in order to fight oil separation, the FDA responded by stating that, "if glycerin could be added without rendering the food adulterated, its addition would have to be set forth prominently on the product label."

It became apparent that customers liked peanut butter that spread easily and had a bit of sweetener.

So, in 1961, the FDA proposed a new standard which maintained products consisting of 90 percent peanuts and additional sweeteners would be classified as peanut butter.

Upon this proposal, three peanut butter brands — Skippy, Jif and Peter Pan — began a twenty-week public hearing to argue what peanut percentage the new standard would dictate.

Eventually, the US Appeals Court approved the FDA proposal to set peanut butter standards "at no less than 90 percent for peanuts and no more than 55 percent fat," according to the FDA.

Today, as shoppers browse supermarket shelves stocked with many different variations of peanut butter, taking a closer look at the label could answer an important question: Is it really peanut butter?

Palm Beach County — home to President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago — passed a one-year moratorium on the planning and construction of data centers as commissioners seek to conduct a thorough review of data centers’ impacts on the environment, noise pollution and electric bills.

The moratorium, passed Thursday, comes just weeks after Trump said communities that reject data centers would "end up being backwards and poor." Among the wealthiest counties in the country, Palm Beach County includes the town of Palm Beach, home to 65 billionaires.

"If you want to go through poverty, crime and squalor, I would say don’t approve of data centers," Trump said from the Oval Office Sept. 4.

The Palm Beach County Commissioners’ 6-0 vote doesn’t put a permanent ban on data centers. Instead, it gives county leadership time to conduct environmental impact reviews before updating zoning rules for where data centers can be built.

TRUMP’S DATA CENTER PUSH FRACTURES CONGRESS AS LOCAL ANGER EXPLODES: 'GRASPING AT STRAWS'

The moratorium applies to all new applications for data centers with an anticipated peak electrical load of at least 50 megawatts.

"Many communities want the economic benefits a data center brings, but we all fear the higher power bills, the negative environmental impact, disruptive noise, the depletion of water resources," a Palm Beach County resident shared during Thursday’s meeting.

Trump has made expanding data centers and accelerating artificial intelligence a cornerstone of his agenda, arguing the United States cannot afford to lose the AI race to China and warning that opposition to data centers only benefits Beijing.

Data centers are the physical backbone of artificial intelligence, housing thousands of powerful computers that store and process digital information while providing the computing power needed to train and run AI systems.

In 2016, Palm Beach County approved the construction of "Project Tango," a proposed 202-acre AI data center, which is located 20 miles from Mar-a-Lago. The data center will also be built near an elementary school and homes.

FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS QUESTION WHETHER AI’S PROMISE OUTWEIGHS ITS RISKS

In July, commissioners voted 6-1 to reject a proposal to expand Project Tango by roughly 1.67 million square feet. But existing approvals for two 100,000-square-foot data center buildings remain in place.

Residents at Thursday's meeting said Project Tango was the driving factor behind the push to hit pause on data center project approvals, with several residents advocating for no data centers to be built.

"I think the best good neighbor data center is no data center," resident Sergei Kelly said. "We have the Everglades to our South and to our West. The coast to our East. I don’t think data centers, especially large data centers they want to build desperately, should be here at all."

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Palm Beach County Commissioners for comment.

The Premier League has reportedly given Manchester City a major red card.

City has been found guilty of more than 100 financial charges that were brought by the league over an eight-year period, according to a report from The Athletic. The punishment has not been decided, and City is expected to appeal potential sanctions, according to the report.

"The Premier League process remains ongoing, with significant elements to be completed, and subject to strict confidentiality. As such Manchester City FC’s position remains consistent with the club’s statement of February 2023," City told The Athletic in a statement.

In November 2018, German outlet Der Spiegel published internal emails from City that it claimed detailed schemes by the club to conceal the true sources of income in a bid to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. City did not dispute the emails but declined to comment because they came from hackers.

The emails prompted a Premier League investigation. In March 2019, UEFA opened a formal investigation into whether City broke the rules.

In February 2020, City was banned from the Champions League for two seasons by UEFA for "serious breaches" of spending rules and failing to cooperate with investigators. City was also fined 30 million euros (then $33 million). City said UEFA’s investigation was "flawed" and announced plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

In July 2020, the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned City’s ban but still imposed a 10 million-euro ($11.3 million) fine for lack of cooperation with investigators.

In 2023, City was referred to an independent commission by the Premier League, which alleged more than 100 breaches of financial rules by the club. City was accused of providing misleading information about its finances from 2009-18 and subsequently failing to cooperate with the league’s investigation. City said it was "surprised" by the allegations and claimed there was a "comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence" to counter them.

City won the Premier League for the fifth time in six seasons after the charges were brought. On Friday, The Athletic reported that City was found guilty of all but one of the charges.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

For four decades, Joseph DeAngelo hid in plain sight as the man authorities would eventually identify as the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist and, most famously, the Golden State Killer. But a new Fox Nation series is investigating whether his known crimes tell the whole story.

"Golden State Killer: Unmasking a Monster" re-examines DeAngelo’s violent past through exclusive testimony and never-before-seen evidence, asking whether his crimes began earlier than previously believed and, if so, what additional victims he left behind.

"There’s a possibility, and probably a high likelihood, that he committed way more crimes than we ever will know about," said Anne Marie Schubert, who served as the Sacramento County district attorney from 2015 to 2023.

NEW CALIFORNIA LAW EXPANDS DNA TOOLS FOR MISSING PERSONS INVESTIGATIONS

DeAngelo was arrested in 2018 at 72 years old following a search of genealogy websites, bringing an end to a decades-long hunt. In 2020, he pleaded guilty to 50 rapes and 13 murders.

The four-part series challenges the established timeline of DeAngelo’s crimes, beginning with accounts of earlier assaults and controlling behavior. It goes on to re-examine evidence surrounding the murders of two teenage girls and explores whether DeAngelo framed others to evade capture.

FOX HOLLOW CORONER REVEALS WHY HE DOUBTS SUSPECTED SERIAL KILLER ACTED ALONE IN HUNT FOR ANSWERS

Later episodes examine his more than 50 attacks as the East Area Rapist and his transformation from serial rapist to serial killer.

The series also raises questions about crimes that remain unsolved, including the cases of Donna Richmond and Bess Snelling, featuring new statements from alleged victims and their relatives.

One survivor featured in the series recounts being violently raped when she was 12 years old. Another person of interest believes his mother was a victim of DeAngelo.

The final chapter examines perhaps the largest lingering question surrounding DeAngelo’s crimes — whether they actually ended in 1986, or whether he continued prowling, raping and killing before his arrest more than three decades later.

The Atlantic staff writer Jenisha Watts said Wednesday she plans to send her young Black son to private school, citing her own experience with struggling schools while choosing a different path from friend and 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones, who recently confronted regrets about her daughter’s public school education.

Watts said in her Atlantic essay that Hannah-Jones’ experience helped convince her she could not make the same decision for her son.

"I could never make the choice she made," Watts said. "I know too well what can go wrong. I’m sending him to a private preschool, and I plan to apply for private kindergarten too."

Hannah-Jones, who previously said that scrutiny of her decision should also focus on Black children whose families cannot afford better options, responded directly to Watts in a new statement to Fox News Digital.

'THE VIEW' HOST SUNNY HOSTIN CLAIMS HER CHILDREN EXPERIENCED RACISM AT PRIVATE SCHOOLS

"I have a deep respect for Jenisha and all she has overcome," she said. "Our concerns and values as parents are always shaped, to some degree, by our own experiences as children. Unlike Jenisha, I got a parachute out of my segregated school, and that changed my life. And, as a result, I have always thought about the equal worth of children who didn't get that parachute and how that shaped their lives as well.

"I still believe, as I always have, in public schools as necessary and common good, that education should be the great equalizer and that parents should not have to choose between doing what's right for their children and what's right for community."

Hannah-Jones said the problems raised by both families ultimately required broader policy changes.

"In the end, the inequality I write about and that Jenisha experienced is systemic and will only be fixed if we acquire the political will to make different policy choices that value the inherent worth of all of our children, even if those children happen to be born Black and poor," she said.

MORE THAN 400,000 NEW YORK CITY CHILDREN ENROLLED IN FAILING PUBLIC SCHOOLS: REPORT

School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, offered a sharply different assessment in a statement to Fox News Digital, arguing Watts was right to prioritize her son rather than wait for improvements to the public school system.

"Jenisha Watts is doing what a parent is supposed to do. She is putting her son first," he said. "Watts has options most families do not. The scandal is not that she is using them. The scandal is that politicians and teachers unions fight to keep those options out of reach for everyone else. School choice is the equalizer. Trapping kids in failure factories by zip code only makes inequality worse.

"It is time to fund students, not systems, so all families can have a shot at the American dream. If Hannah-Jones and her friends actually want to help other children, they should fight for the funding to follow the student. You do not fix public schools by locking kids in them. You fix them by giving families a way out — and giving those schools a reason to change."

Watts described Hannah-Jones as a "confidant and friend" and defended her against critics who accused her of sacrificing her daughter’s education for her ideals. But Watts said her own childhood in Lexington, Kentucky, where she described receiving an "abysmal education," shaped the choice she is now making for her son.

Watts said those academic deficiencies followed her into adulthood.

"I’m a staff writer for The Atlantic, and I’m writing a memoir, and I still can’t shake off my poor education," she wrote.

The debate followed Hannah-Jones’ recent New York Times Magazine essay revisiting a choice she first detailed in a 2016 Times Magazine cover story. Hannah-Jones said she eventually apologized to her daughter Najya after reviewing academic problems that followed her through elementary and middle school.

Najya told her mother she wished her own education had received more consideration alongside Hannah-Jones’ concerns about educational inequality.

"Sometimes I wish, instead of always thinking about other kids, you would have thought about me. I never really got the education I wanted," Najya said.

New York City Public Schools Chancellor Kamar H. Samuels defended the public school system’s mission in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"From day one, I have made it clear: Every student, regardless of background or ability, should feel affirmed, valued and held to high expectations," Samuels said. "At New York City Public Schools, we know that our students benefit from inclusive environments where every child has access to rigorous academics, student supports and diverse learning opportunities.

"This is the crux of my vision of a truly integrated public school system, and I am committed to doing the work to make that a reality."

Watts said her decision was not meant as a condemnation of Hannah-Jones or parents who choose differently but reflected what she sees as a broader failure that forces families to weigh their children’s immediate interests against struggling schools.

"America should not force parents to make that kind of choice," she said.
