Today in News History
On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1863, American Civil War: The New York City draft riots begin three days of rioting which will later be regarded as the worst in United States history. In 1922, Helmy Afify Abd El-Bar, Egyptian military commander (died 2011) was born. In 1926, T. Loren Christianson, American politician (died 2019) was born. In 1956, The Dartmouth workshop is the first conference on artificial intelligence. In 1957, Cameron Crowe, American director, producer, and screenwriter was born. In 1961, Khalid Mahmood, Pakistani-English engineer and politician was born. In 1977, New York City: Amidst a period of financial and social turmoil experiences an electrical blackout lasting nearly 24 hours that leads to widespread fires and looting. In 2008, Battle of Wanat begins when Taliban and al-Qaeda guerrillas attack US Army and Afghan National Army troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. deaths were, at that time, the most in a single battle since the beginning of operations in 2001. In 2011, Mumbai is rocked by three bomb blasts during the evening rush hour, killing 26 and injuring 130. In 2013, Typhoon Soulik kills at least nine people and affects more than 160 million in East China and Taiwan. Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives.

Flight Narrowly Misses Drone at Major U.S. Airport
Chip EastUnited Airlines Flight 1513 nearly hit a drone as it landed at Newark Airport on Friday. The flight, which took off from Key West, Florida, was about 100 feet away from the drone moments before it landed in New Jersey, according to the pilot. “We almost hit a drone,” the pilot said to air traffic control in audio obtained by CNN. “About a hundred feet below us.” The pilot also shared that the drone was circular and about three feet wide. As a result of the collision, the Federal Aviation Administration, overseen by Administrator Bryan Bedford, is actively investigating the incident. “We want to send a clear message that operating drones around airplanes, helicopters, and airports is dangerous and illegal,” the agency said in a statement to People. According to the Foundation for Aviation Safety, there have been 28 serious safety incidents involving drones reported to police since October 2024. However, the threat of drone collisions remains, as the FAA receives approximately 100 reports of drone sightings near airports each month.Read it at PeopleRead more at The Daily Beast.

Mapping America’s Domestic Drone Supply Chain
The extent of China’s drone dominance — and how to decouple from it — has long been a source of debate and anxiety in Washington. Last month, the Wall Street Journal reignited controversy by publishing a visual analysis of military quadcopter components, exploring China’s advantages in parts manufacturing and cost. The director of the Defense Innovation Unit objected to the report, stating on X that “By leaving out the dozens of U.S. companies that have plunged into drone component manufacturing, this article disappoints.”Underlying this debate is disagreement about how to measure drone supply chain security.
