Holiday travel chaos
ahead after Atlanta
airport outage
ATLANTA — Ticketing and baggage
areas were a bit backed up, but security lines
were moving quickly in Atlanta this morn-
ing as the world’s busiest airport recovered
from a crippling power outage.
Thousands of people remained stranded
a day after the outage at Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport, where more
than 1,000 flights were grounded just days
before the start of the Christmas travel rush.
A sudden power outage that Georgia
Power said was caused by a fire in an under-
ground electrical facility brought the airport
to a standstill Sunday around 1 p.m.
All outgoing flights were halted, and
arriving planes were held on the ground at
their point of departure. International flights
were diverted, officials said.
Delta Air Lines, with its biggest hub in
Atlanta, was hardest hit. By Sunday eve-
ning, Delta had already canceled nearly 900
flights and another 300 Monday, nearly all
of them in Atlanta, according to tracking
service FlightAware.com.
Robert Mann, an aviation consultant
and former American Airlines executive,
said it likely will be Tuesday before Del-
ta’s operations in Atlanta return to normal,
and for passengers “it could be most of
the week” because there aren’t many open
seats on other flights in the last week before
Christmas.
ing at least 750 homes. Some 18,000 more
homes are still threatened.
LOS ANGELES — Thousands of firefight-
ers tried Sunday to shield coastal communities
from one of the biggest wildfires in California
history while a funeral procession rolled past
burn-scarred hillsides in honor of one of their
colleagues who was killed battling the flames.
Crews cleared brush and dug containment
lines above hillside neighborhoods in Santa
Barbara County, taking advantage of slightly
calmer winds a day after gusts fanned a flare-up
that prompted more evacuations.
“Everything’s holding really well,” fire
information officer Lisa Cox said. “Thousands
of homes have been saved.”
While gusts had eased somewhat, even
lower intensity winds were still dangerous, she
warned. The fire northwest of Los Angeles was
45 percent contained.
Television news footage showed at least
one structure burned on property in the wealthy
enclave of Montecito, and authorities said dam-
age assessments could take days.
Mourners stood on freeway overpasses to
pay respects to firefighter Cory Iverson, 32,
who died Thursday of burns and smoke inha-
lation. His funeral procession was scheduled
to wind through five Southern California coun-
ties before ending up at a funeral home in San
Diego, where he was based with a state fire
engine strike team. He is survived by his preg-
nant wife and a 2-year-old daughter.
The blaze is also blamed for the Dec. 6 death
of a 70-year-old woman who died in a car crash
on an evacuation route.
The fire that started nearly two weeks ago
has burned more than 1,000 structures, includ-
Report: US soldier
fought to end after
ambush in Niger
WASHINGTON — Army Sgt. La David T.
Johnson died in a hail of gunfire, hit as many as
18 times as he took cover in thick brush, fight-
ing to the end after fleeing militants who had
just killed three comrades in an October ambush
in Niger.
A military investigation has concluded that
Johnson wasn’t captured alive or killed at close
range, dispelling a swirl of rumors about how
he died.
Johnson, 25, of Miami Gardens, Florida, was
killed by enemy rifle and machine gun fire from
members of an Islamic State offshoot, accord-
ing to U.S. officials familiar with the findings.
The Oct. 4 ambush took place about 120 miles
north of Niamey, the African nation’s capital.
His body was recovered two days later.
A 12-member Army special forces unit was
accompanying 30 Nigerien forces when they
were attacked in a densely wooded area by as
many as 50 militants traveling by vehicle and
carrying small arms and rocket-propelled gre-
nade launchers.
All told, four U.S. soldiers and four Nigerien
troops were killed in the ambush. Two U.S. and
eight Nigerien troops were wounded.
The bodies of three U.S. soldiers were
located on the day of the attack, but not John-
son’s remains. The gap in time led to questions
about whether Johnson was killed in the assault
and not found, or if he was taken away by the
enemy.
Johnson’s mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson,
told CNN today that she first learned of the lat-
est investigation results on Facebook. She also
says the military hasn’t told her why her son’s
remains weren’t found at the same time as the
bodies of his comrades.
“I want the truth ... but there’s no closure,”
she said.
US judge steps down
after accusations of
sexual misconduct
SAN FRANCISCO — A prominent appeals
court judge announced his retirement today,
days after women alleged he subjected them to
inappropriate sexual conduct or comments.
Judge Alex Kozinski of the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals said in a statement that a bat-
tle over the accusations would not be good for
the judiciary. He said he’ll step down, effective
immediately.
The Washington Post reported last week
that at least 15 women made allegations against
Kozinski that go back decades. The allegations
include inappropriate touching and lewd com-
ments. Six former clerks or more junior staff
members accused Kozinski of inappropriate
behavior, including showing them pornography.
Kozinski, 67, was chief judge of the 9th Cir-
cuit, the largest federal appeals court circuit in
the country, from 2007 to 2014. He is known
for his irreverent opinions, and his clerks often
win prestigious clerkships at the U.S. Supreme
Court.
The 9th Circuit has opened a misconduct
inquiry that was transferred Friday to the Judi-
cial Council of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in New York.
