CHICAGO (CBS)– Groups of hundreds of motorcyclists in Chicago are putting themselves and others at risk as they blow red lights, stop signs and ride on sidewalks.

As CBS 2’s Jim Williams reported Tuesday, these incidents have been reported in numerous places — from the South Loop at 13th Street and Wabash Avenue to the Magnificent Mile and Jackson Park — often late at night.

Hundreds of motorcyclists disobey traffic laws and roar down the street forcing pedestrians to scramble.

“It’s just amazing and frightening, actually,” said Kim, who wants to remain anonymous.

Kim speaks for many of her neighbors in describing the reckless motorcyclists.

“Two hundred, 300 motorcyclists barreling down the road,” she said, “disregarding all traffic lights, stop signs, speed limits, pedestrians on sidewalks.”

The motorcyclists’ own videos show it all: Wheelies on the Kennedy Expressway, as they weave from lane to lane.

In another video, they blow red lights on a busy North Michigan Avenue, right in front of pedestrians.

In Jackson Park, a motorcyclist can be seen riding on the sidewalk for blocks near the Museum of Science and Industry, close to parents and their children.

“The frightening thing is just the sheer number of them,” Kim said. “You have no control. Everybody jumps out of the way.”

Kim has also seen motorcyclists stop traffic at intersections.o

It’s problem in other parts of the country as well. In Florida, police are using helicopters to track mobs of reckless motorcyclists.

New York is monitoring social media accounts of motorcyclists.

A Chicago Police spokeswoman told CBS 2 that in the last 90 days, she could only find 911 calls regarding the motorcycle on the sidewalk near the museum. But people in the South Loop insist they’ve called police too.

Kim and her neighbors want action now.

“Walking across the street and fearing they’re going to hit me — they’ve put my life at risk without me having any choice,” Kim said.

Tuesday afternoon, Ald. Pat Dowell (3rd) told CBS 2 she’s calling for public hearings with the police department and the Office of Emergency Management to hear the concerns and to come up with solutions to crackdown on the reckless motorcyclists.

The mayor of Minneapolis, a Democrat, is trying to "antagonize" and "bully" President Trump to discourage him from coming to the historically blue state, a police union leader said Tuesday.
Lieutenant Bob Kroll, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, said on "Fox & Friends" that Mayor Jacob Frey is discriminating against Trump ahead of his upcoming rally at the Target Center on Thursday.
Kroll's claims are in line with Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, who accused Frey of "abuse of power" over a proposed $530,000 security fee to use the arena.
"It's disparate treatment," Kroll said. "They have not charged nearly that much for other events..."
A campaign press release states: "The radical leftist mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, is abusing the power of his office and attempt to extort President Trump's re-election campaign by conjuring a phony and outlandish bill for security in an effort to block a scheduled Keep America Great rally."

President Donald Trump thanked the Minnesota Police Department Federation on Tuesday for selling “Cops for Trump” T-shirts after the radical Minneapolis Mayor blocked police from wearing uniforms to the upcoming Trump rally.

President Trump thanks Lt. Bob Kroll for his kind comments on FOX and Friends this morning.

The two had been involved in an intimate relationship since November, according to a probable cause statement, but things went sour when Sporer saw something she didn’t like on Thomas' cellphone.

"They both agreed to break up so Thomas went onto the plane and sat in the cock-pit and Sporer went to the gate," according to a probable cause affidavit. "Sporer became angry and went onto the plane to confront Thomas. Sporer grabbed Thomas by the neck tie and slapped him in the face with an open hand three times. Thomas retaliated by grabbing Sporer and striking her in the ribs with a closed fist."

‘Drunk’ plane passenger vomits in woman’s hair on US flight – forcing cabin crew to clean her up in the sink

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10105088/drunk-plane-passenger-vomit-flight-usa/

A DRUNK plane passenger was escorted off the aircraft after throwing up on a woman's head, forcing cabin crew to clean her up in the sink.

The ordeal prompted cabin crew to make passengers deplane so that the aircraft could be deep cleaned before it set off to Baltimore from Chicago.

One passenger managed to film the aftermath of disgusting incident which left the woman's hair covered in the man's vomit.

The passenger who shared the video to ABC7 News said the woman was forced to clean the vomit out of her hair in a sink.

The video shows a member of the Spirit Airlines cabin crew wipe the woman’s hair with a tissue in efforts to clean it from the vomit.

The co-pilot is then heard making an announcement to passengers, jokingly saying that he’s surprised this is not a flight to Las Vegas, saying: “This stuff only happens on my Vegas flights, never happens in Chicago.

“If anybody else is drunk, please get off the airplane now.”
 
A new era of airline loyalty programs has arrived. United Airlines announced this week that the criteria for elite qualification in its MileagePlus loyalty program would change dramatically next year. Starting in January of 2020, United’s loyalty members will earn elite status based on Premier Qualifying Flights and Premier Qualifying Segments only. Flight miles, the traditional metric by which frequent flyers used to earn status, are no longer going to be considered.
It wasn’t too long ago that frequent flyers on American, Delta, and United earned elite status based solely on how far they fly. If a passenger flew 100,000 miles or 100 segments on any of the carriers, for example, top-tier (published) status was awarded, yielding perks such as upgrades, free checked bags, and free seat assignments.
In 2013, however, that formula changed when Delta introduced qualifying dollars to its equation for calculating for elite status. From that point forward, frequent flyers needed to earn a baseline number of miles or segments and also spend a companion amount of cash — up to $15,000 for the top published tier — to earn the same status as before. American and United quickly followed suit leaving only Alaska with its legacy earning structure.
Now United is taking the mileage out of the equation. MileagePlus members next year will earn status based on both Premier Qualifying Points (PQPs) or Premier Qualifying Flights (PQFs) along with PQPs. Premier Qualifying Points, which are effectively the same as Premier Qualifying Dollars in the current MileagePlus economy, are earned on a 1:1 basis as a function of how much is spent on a ticket (exclusive of taxes).

Pilots union officials at two of the largest U.S. airline operators of the 737 Max, American and Southwest Airlines, reacted with dismay.

“This more evidence that Boeing misled pilots, government regulators and other aviation experts about the safety of the 737 Max," said Jon Weaks, president of Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, in a statement. "It is clear that the company’s negligence and fraud put the flying public at risk."

And Dennis Tajer, spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association for American, said "it's very serious if Boeing had someone within who is describing something egregious." He added, "We want to know under what conditions (MCAS was malfunctioning) so we can determine if something is new within the MCAS system."

He also said the union is solidly behind the FAA's Dickson on the matter. "We count on the FAA as a safety-culture partner."
