Float Plane Flips
Two men escaped without injury after the floatplane they were in attempted to land on Lake Bemidji, causing it to flip and submerge. Emergency dispatchers received several 911 calls around 4:15 p.m. reporting that a floatplane had flipped while attempting to land on the lake, said Christopher Muller, Beltrami County’s emergency management director and public information officer. The plane came to rest south of the Bemidji Town and Country Club and began sinking upside down. Both men got out of the plane on their own. Before deputies arrived, boaters on the lake were already helping. They pulled up to the overturned plane, helped the men out of the water, and stuck around long enough to confirm no one else was on board. The plane never fully sank; its pontoons kept it floating upside down until boats towed it to shore. Paramedics checked out both men at the scene. Neither wanted to go to the hospital. Investigators found the landing gear down and exposed when they arrived, though it’s too early to say what caused the crash, Muller said. The FAA and NTSB have been notified and are investigating.
Gas Prices
Diesel prices surged nearly 17 cents per gallon nationally in the past week, leaving it less than 25 cents away from an all-time record high. Gas Buddy says gasoline, while not at all-time records, is at its highest level ever recorded this late in the calendar year, meaning Americans could for the first time ever see a national average price of gasoline above $4 per gallon on Labor DaAverage gasoline prices in Minnesota have risen 16.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.13 per gallon. The national average price of gasoline has risen 2.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.05.Gas Buddy says while some oil shipments are apparently getting through the Strait of Hormuz, the dominant force propping up both gasoline and diesel prices is increasingly the growing loss of Russian refinery capacity, as continued Ukrainian attacks knock more facilities offline and constrain the global supply of refined fuels.
