Eight arrested after #climate activists breach German airport

"Climate group #LastGeneration said six individuals had seated themselves on airport asphalt at 4:45 a.m. local time (0245 GMT) to block planes, and it criticised Berlin for subsidising #airlines at the expense of #rail.

Germany's transport minister, Volker Wissing, said new laws were needed to punish such actions as criminal, with up to two years in prison. Current laws classify them as minor offences."

Man the Midwest has been hammered today with tornadoes. At Omaha’s Eppley Airfield (KOMA), what looks like at least four rows of T-Hangers took a direct hit from an EF2, and wiped dozens of airplanes off the FAA registry. Man I am sad for the owners, no idea if there were injuries.

Screengrabs from #wunderground, just look at the tornado warnings!

"The national chief said staff wanted to put her headdress in cargo storage because there was no room in the cabin, and that the situation got tense. She said the flight crew threatened her staff, and other passengers stood up for her.”

Shout out to “other passengers [who] stood up for her”! ❤️

This is a demonstration of the enshitification of [air] travel taken on a new level.. disrespecting Indigenous Leaders.

"European Union authorities have started action against 20 #airlines for misleading “#greenwashing” practices.

They said airlines needed to make clear to what extent claims that the CO2 emissions caused by a flight could be offset by climate projects or through the use of sustainable fuels can be substantiated based on sound scientific evidence."
