Associated Press Published 6:39 PM EDT Oct 13, 2018 Nashville, Tenn. — Austin Watson’s girlfriend is taking blame for the incident that led the NHL to suspend the Nashville Predators’ forward for 27 games, a punishment reduced to 18 games by an arbitrator on appeal. Jenn Guardino issued a statement Saturday saying the incident June 16 was not an act of domestic violence and that Watson would never hit or abuse her. “My behavior and state of intoxication lead to the police being involved that day,” Guardino said. “I have struggled with alcoholism for many years and I am actively involved in AA.

We handled matters poorly on June 16th and know that we need to make better decisions going forward.” Guardino also apologized to everyone involved, including the Predators and the city of Nashville. Watson played one season at Detroit Country Day and another at Ann … [Read more...] about Girlfriend of NHL’s Austin Watson (Ann Arbor) takes blame for incident that led to suspension

Safety officials want faster reporting of aviation incidents
Aviation-safety officials say a close call last year highlights the need for faster reporting of dangerous incidents before evidence is lost. The National Transportation Safety Board issued a final report Thursday on the July 2017 close call in which an Air Canada jet nearly crashed into planes lined up on the ground at San Francisco International Airport. The pilots were slow to report the incident to superiors. By the time they did, the plane had made another flight and the cockpit voice recording of the close call was taped over. The NTSB says the recording could have helped investigators understand why the Air Canada pilots missed the runway and were about to land on a taxiway where four other planes were idling before they aborted their landing. … [Read more...] about Safety officials want faster reporting of aviation incidents
