First plane crash on the summer solstice 2022.......

Plane catches fire at Miami International Airport after crash landing; at least 3 hurt

MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) - A plane arriving from Santo Domingo at Miami International Airport caught on fire after it made a crash landing, tearing through a communications tower and a small building. The Red Air civilian transport aircraft flight 203 made an emergency landing at around 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, after attempting to land at the airport and something went potentially wrong with the landing gear. About 140 people and 11 crew members were on board the plane. The plane collided with several objects and steered off the runaway into the grassy area between the runway and the taxi way. A communications/radar tower that was standing in its path was taken out by the plane, along with a small building in the area. The tower could be seen wrapped around the right wing of the plane, where the fire also ignited. Fire rescue crews responded to the scene and were able to quickly douse out the fire using foam trucks. The plane was evacuated. Those on board the plane appeared to be in good shape. However, according to Miami-Dade Fire-Rescue, three people suffered injuries. Two were transported to Jackson West Hospital and the third was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital. It remains unclear if problems with the landing gear happened before or when it landed. Source

Here read from St. Thomas Aquinas on where Demons reside...

Article 4. Whether our atmosphere is the demons' place of punishment?

Objection 1. It would seem that this atmosphere is not the demons' place of punishment. For a demon is a spiritual nature. But a spiritual nature is not affected by place. Therefore there is no place of punishment for demons.

Objection 2. Further, man's sin is not graver than the demons'. But man's place of punishment is hell. Much more, therefore, is it the demons' place of punishment; and consequently not the darksome atmosphere.

Objection 3. Further, the demons are punished with the pain of fire. But there is no fire in the darksome atmosphere. Therefore the darksome atmosphere is not the place of punishment for the demons.

On the contrary, Augustine says (Gen. ad lit. iii, 10), that "the darksome atmosphere is as a prison to the demons until the judgment day."

I answer that, The angels in their own nature stand midway between God and men. Now the order of Divine providence so disposes, that it procures the welfare of the inferior orders through the superior. But man's welfare is disposed by Divine providence in two ways: first of all, directly, when a man is brought unto good and withheld from evil; and this is fittingly done through the good angels. In another way, indirectly, as when anyone assailed is exercised by fighting against opposition. It was fitting for this procuring of man's welfare to be brought about through the wicked spirits, lest they should cease to be of service in the natural order. Consequently a twofold place of punishment is due to the demons: one, by reason of their sin, and this is hell; and another, in order that they may tempt men, and thus the darksome atmosphere is their due place of punishment.

Now the procuring of men's salvation is prolonged even to the judgment day: consequently, the ministry of the angels and wrestling with demons endure until then. Hence until then the good angels are sent to us here; and the demons are in this dark atmosphere for our trial: although some of them are even now in hell, to torment those whom they have led astray; just as some of the good angels are with the holy souls in heaven. But after the judgment day all the wicked, both men and angels, will be in hell, and the good in heaven.

Reply to Objection 1. A place is not penal to angel or soul as if affecting the nature by changing it, but as affecting the will by saddening it: because the angel or the soul apprehends that it is in a place not agreeable to its will.

Reply to Objection 2. One soul is not set over another in the order of nature, as the demons are over men in the order of nature; consequently there is no parallel.

Reply to Objection 3. Some have maintained that the pain of sense for demons and souls is postponed until the judgment day: and that the beatitude of the saints is likewise postponed until the judgment day. But this is erroneous, and contrary to the teaching of the Apostle (2 Corinthians 5:1): "If our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, we have a house in heaven." Others, again, while not admitting the same of souls, admit it as to demons. But it is better to say that the same judgment is passed upon wicked souls and wicked angels, even as on good souls and good angels.

Consequently, it must be said that, although a heavenly place belongs to the glory of the angels, yet their glory is not lessened by their coming to us, for they consider that place to be their own; in the same way as we say that the bishop's honor is not lessened while he is not actually sitting on his throne. In like manner it must be said, that although the demons are not actually bound within the fire of hell while they are in this dark atmosphere, nevertheless their punishment is none the less; because they know that such confinement is their due. Hence it is said in a gloss upon James 3:6: "They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go." Nor is this contrary to what is said (Luke 8:31), "They besought the Lord not to cast them into the abyss"; for they asked for this, deeming it to be a punishment for them to be cast out of a place where they could injure men. Hence it is stated, "They [Vulg. 'He'] besought Him that He would not expel them [Vulg. 'him'] out of the country" (Mark 5:10).

Our Lady La Salette On Strange Things Seen In The Sky After The SpaceX Rocket Launch

For the time has come when the most astonishing wonders will take place on the earth and in the air. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)

The demons of the air together with the Antichrist will perform great wonders on earth and in the atmosphere, and men will become more and more perverted. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)

Strange things seen in the sky after the SpaceX rocket launch On Sunday (June 19th) at 12:27 a.m. EDT (0427 GMT), SpaceX launched a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The rocket carried a communications satellite for the Louisiana-based company Globalstar to orbit. A few hours after liftoff, people worldwide started seeing strange things in the sky. They saw a smoke ring. Jerrod Wood, who saw and recorded the video, reported to spaceweather.com, “I believe it shows the orbital insertion of the Globalstar FM15 satellite as it separated from the Falcon 9’s upper stage.”

The Falcon 9’s upper stage deployed the Globalstar communications satellite over two hours after launch; the smoke ring that Wood noticed was the “puff” of separation. People observed the event over much of North America, from Arizona to Missouri and beyond, because it occurred more than 700 miles above Earth. Alasdair Burns of Twinkle Dark Sky Tours said, “It looked like a beautiful galaxy appeared in the sky. It was a very slowly rotating spiral that started small and gradually expanded. Eventually, it became so large and faint that it could no longer be seen. A group of us was on our balcony watching it, and none had ever seen anything like it.”

In western North Carolina, David Cortner of Rutherford College, North Carolina, saw something that didn’t make any sense. Instead of a faint, moonlit ‘jellyfish,’ he saw a rocket-powered aurora. He has shared an 8-frame mosaic showing a red band that appeared shortly after the launch. Cortner said, “The rocket’s trajectory was much higher than I expected; however, it was almost 500 km high by the time it was due east of me, not 150-200 km as are most SpaceX flights up the Atlantic coast. As a result, the rocket passed by me unseen.”

“I went out to watch the midnight launch of the Falcon 9. Here in western North Carolina, I was hoping for a faint, moonlit ‘jellyfish.’ A minute or two after the rocket’s closest approach (by the clock), I noticed this red glow spreading across a broad swath of the eastern sky.” “There was no space weather event in progress. That means the rocket somehow stimulated oxygen atoms ~500 km high to produce an artificial aurora. For reference, natural red auroras range in altitude from 150 km to 250 km, and more rarely up to 600 km.” Spaceweather noted, “We do not know what produced this glow. But we encourage readers to share their views.“ Source

PROPHECY OF MELANIE ON TWO POPES:

"I didn't see, I don't see any Great Pope or Great Monarch before an extremely great tribulation, horrifying, terrible and general for all Christendom. But before that time, twice there will be a short lived peace; TWO shaky, servile, doubtful popes" Mélanie

OUR LADY OF LA SALETTE

God will abandon mankind to itself and will send punishments which will follow one after the other for more than thirty-five years. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)

LA SALETTE + FATIMA TIMELINE

1. Two Popes. (13 March 2013)

2. Manifestation of the Forerunner to the Antichrist (21 October 2019)

3. Death of Two Popes (_ _ / _ _ / 2022)

4. NIGHT ILLUMINED BY UNKNOWN LIGHT DURING NEW MOON (_ _ / _ _ / 2022)

5. Start of Thirty Five Years Worth of Chastisements (_ _ / _ _ / 2022)

6. Rise of the Political Power of the Forerunner to the Antichrist (_ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _)

7. Creation of Forerunner's Nationalist Army (_ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _)

8. Persecution of Catholic Church by Forerunner and His Nationalist Army(_ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _)

9. Murder of Fatima Pope & Faithful on top a Steep Mountain by Forerunner and his Army.

10. The Rise of the Great Monarch & Great Pontiff (near the end of the 35 year Chastisement)

11. The death of the Forerunner to the Antichrist.

REMEMBER - THE 35+ YEARS WORTH OF CHASTISEMENTS DO NOT START UNTIL THE TWO POPES ARE DEAD......

“The great chastisement will come, because men will not be converted; yet it is only their conversion that can hinder these scourges. God will begin to strike men by inflicting lighter punishments in order to open their eyes; then He will stop, or may repeat His former warnings to give place for repentance. But sinners will not avail themselves of these opportunities; He will, in consequence, send more severe castigations, anxious to move sinners to repentance, but all in vain. Finally, the obduracy of sinners shall draw upon their heads the greatest and most terrible calamities. Mélanie

“We are all guilty! Penance is not done, and sin increases daily. Those who should come forward to do good are retained by fear. Evil is great. A moderate punishment serves only to irritate the spirits, because they view all things with human eyes. God could work a miracle to convert and change the aspect of the earth without chastisement. God will work a miracle; it will be a stroke of His mercy; but after the wicked shall have inebriated themselves with blood, the scourge shall arrive Mélanie

“What countries shall be preserved from such calamities? Where shall we go for refuge? I, in my turn, shall ask, What is the country that observes the commandments of God? What country is not influenced by human fear where the interest of the Church and the glory of God are at stake? (Ah, indeed! What country, what nation upon earth?) In behalf of my Superior and myself, I have often asked myself where we could go for refuge, had we the means for the journey and for our subsistence, on condition that no person were to know it? But I renounce these useless thoughts. We are very guilty! In consequence of this, it is necessary that a very great and terrible scourge should come to revive our faith, and to restore to us our very reason, which we have almost entirely lost. Mélanie

DANIEL'S FIRST BEAST LIONESS WITH WINGS OF AN EAGLE: Falcon 9’s First Stage Has Landed On Landing Zone 4

The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her. Dan.7

Daniel's first beast the lioness with wings of an eagle is the Airline/Space Industry.

Here is my take on the Four Beasts:

The Four beasts of Daniel are:

FIRST BEAST LIONESS WITH WINGS OF AN EAGLE = THE AIRLINE AND SPACE INDUSTRIES

1. The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her

SECOND BEAST BEAR = SOCIAL MEDIA (facebook twitter etc...)

2. And behold another beast like a bear stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh.

THIRD BEAST LEOPARD = NATIONALISM OF THE FORERUNNER TO THE ANTICHRIST (HE WHO MURDERS THE FATIMA POPE WITH AN ARMY MADE UP OF MANY NATIONS)

3. After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it.

FOURTH BEAST = THE ANTICHRIST (THIS IS CHURCH DOCTRINE AS ALL FATHERS TESTIFY)

4. After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.

All four beast are different from one another - the third and fourth beasts are political in nature but different - the third being man-made nationalistic political authority and the fourth being man-made universal political authority.

I think this is in line with what the Church Fathers would say.

Murder-Suicides By Pilots Caused By Flying Above 35,000ft In The Habitat Of Demons: Demonic Activity Driving Pilots To Suicide...

Murder-Suicides by Pilots Are Vexing Airlines as Deaths Mount

(Bloomberg) -- For decades, commercial airline travel has gotten progressively safer. But one cause of deaths has stubbornly persisted: pilots who intentionally crash in murder-suicides. Preliminary evidence suggests the crash of a China Eastern Airlines Corp. jet in March may be the latest such tragedy, a person familiar with the investigation said. If confirmed, that would make it the fourth since 2013, bringing deaths in those crashes to 554. So as aircraft become more reliable and pilots grow less susceptible to errors, fatalities caused by murder-suicides are becoming an increasingly large share of the total. While intentional acts traditionally aren’t included in air-crash statistics, they would be the second-largest category of deaths worldwide if they were, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. By comparison, 1,745 people died as a result of pilot error, mechanical failures or other causes on Western-built jets from 2012 through 2021. “It’s scary,” said Malcolm Brenner, a former human-behavior investigator with the US National Transportation Safety Board who worked on the probe of the 1999 EgyptAir Flight 990 crash, which was found to be an intentional act. “It is a major cause of concern. It’s one the industry needs to address.” Source

Water POURS into cabin of British Airways flight at 30,000 feet as staff desperately try to stop the flow on Airbus A380 from Heathrow to Washington DC

A British Airways flight saw chaos onboard as water poured into the cabin. Crew members desperately tried to stop the relentless flow of water as the plane soared 30,00 feet in the sky. The plane, on transatlantic flight BA292, left Heathrow at 10.40pm last Friday and landed in Washington DC at 10.55 on Saturday. The Airbus A380 is a double decker plane with two flights of stairs, one at the front and one at the back of the airplane which has room for 500 passengers. BA have told us that a fault with a water storage unit at the back of the plane flooded the flight of stairs used by economy passengers on the plane. BA said: 'There was no safety issue at any point, this was from the clean drinking water supply. 'The flight continued safely to Washington and landed as normal. 'A faulty valve was replaced and the issue fixed.' The shocking technical fault occurred towards end of the 7 hour flight to the States. Engineers managed to fix the valve and the same plane was back in the air the same day. BA have told us that this is rare as one staff member had never seen it happen in the three and a half years he had worked there.An airline worker told The Sun: 'This was not a flight for nervous flyers. 'An inflight waterfall is not a regular feature at BA. It looked more British Waterways that British Airways. 'Crew gave thanks the leak happened towards the end of the transAtlantic crossing. 'There were a few people saying their Hail Mary's, but staff were professional throughout.' In one video a BA stewardess can be heard whispering 'no f****** way' while water poured down the cabin.

Twenty Sixth Spring Explosion: Rental Car Full Of Ammunition Blows Up At San Antonio International Airport After Man Set It On Fire.

Rental Car Explodes Near TX Airport

A rental car “exploded as if it contained ammunition” near a Texas airport after a man set it on fire, according to local reports. Authorities say a 35-year-old man set the vehicle on fire at a gas station near the San Antonio International Airport before driving toward the terminals over the weekend, KENS reported. As the car became immersed in flames, officials say the suspect escaped and ran away, according to WOAI. The car then exploded like it was full of ammo, police said, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Police and firefighters were called to the explosion in the 9000 block of Airport Boulevard at about 10 p.m. Saturday, June 11, KSAT reported. Nobody was found inside the vehicle, and no one reported any injuries. Authorities used surveillance videos to find the suspect, WOAI reported. He was later arrested by San Antonio Airport Police outside Terminal B. He faces an arson charge, KSAT reported, and the investigation is ongoing. Source

I Pray For The Destruction Of The Space Industry During The Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass: Astra Rocket BLOWS UP And Two NASA Satellites Are Lost

The darksome atmosphere is as a prison to the demons until the judgment day. They carry fire of hell with them wherever they go. The devils besought the Lord not to cast them into the abyss; for they asked for this, deeming it to be a punishment for them to be cast out of a place- where they could injure men. Hence it is stated,They besought Him that He would not expel them out of the country. St Thomas Aquinas

Astra rocket fails and two NASA satellites are lost

California-based Astra on Sunday launched two shoebox-size NASA satellites from Cape Canaveral in a modest mission to improve hurricane forecasts, but the second stage of the company's low-cost booster malfunctioned before reaching orbit and the payloads were lost. "The upper stage shut down early and we did not deliver the payloads to orbit," Astra tweeted. "We have shared our regrets with @NASA and the payload team. More information will be provided after we complete a full data analysis." We had a nominal first stage flight. The upper stage shut down early and we did not deliver the payloads to orbit. We have shared our regrets with @NASA and the payload team. More information will be provided after we complete a full data review. — Astra (@Astra) June 12, 2022

It was the seventh launch of Astra's small "Venture-class" rocket and the company's fifth failure. Sunday's launch was the first of three planned for NASA to launch six small CubeSats, two at a time, into three orbital planes. Given the somewhat risky nature of relying on tiny shoebox-size CubeAats and a rocket with a very short track record, the $40 million project requires just four satellites and two successful launches to meet mission objectives. The NASA contract calls for the final two flights by the end of July. Whether Astra can meet that schedule given Sunday's failure is not yet known. "Although today's launch with @Astra did not go as planned, the mission offered a great opportunity for new science and launch capabilities," tweeted NASA science chief Thomas Zurbuchen. Although today’s launch with @Astra did not go as planned, the mission offered a great opportunity for new science and launch capabilities. https://t.co/9s30sDWJzz — Thomas Zurbuchen (@Dr_ThomasZ) June 12, 2022

Sunday's launching came and hour and 43 minutes late, primarily to ensure the booster's load of liquid oxygen propellant was at the proper temperature. Finally, hoping to chalk up the company's third successful flight to orbit, Astra engineers counted down down to liftoff at 1:43 p.m. ET. With its five first-stage engines generating 32,500 pounds of thrust, the 43-foot-tall Rocket 3.3 roared away from pad 46 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, putting on a dramatic show for area residents and tourists enjoying a sunny day on nearby beaches. The first stage boosted the payload out of the lower atmosphere, handing off to the single engine powering the rocket's upper stage. All appeared to be going smoothly when, about a minute before the second stage engine was expected to shut down, an onboard "rocketcam" showed a flash in the engine's exhaust plume. The camera view them showed what appeared to be a tumble before video from the rocket cut off. Source

'Five People Presumed Dead' After MV-22B Osprey Belonging To 3rd Marine Air Wing Crashes In The Californian Desert

'Five people presumed dead' after MV-22B Osprey belonging to 3rd Marine Air Wing crashes in the Californian desert

A military aircraft from a Marine unit headquartered in Miramar, San Diego, has crashed in California, leaving officials to believe all five passengers are dead. The MV-22B Osprey crashed in Imperial County near Highway 78 and the town of Glamis - 30 miles north of the Mexican border, and 150 miles east of San Diego. The crash was confirmed by Naval Air Facility El Centro, 30 miles from the crash site. 'We can confirm that an aircraft belonging to 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing crashed near Glamis, CA,' they stated on their Facebook page. 3rd MAW has units based in Miramar, Yuma, Pendleton and Twentynine Palms. 'Military and civilian first responders are on site. 'Contrary to initial reports, there was no nuclear material on board the aircraft. More information will be made available as we receive it.' The crash happened about 12:25pm local time, said 1st Lt. Duane Kampa, a 3rd MAW spokesman. Officials believe at least five people were aboard at the time of the crash. Investigators have presumed all passengers are dead, according to FOX 5 reporter Malik Earnest. Footage from News 11 Yuma showed military personnel and first responders gathering in the desert, with a helicopter flying off to the crash site. Smoke could be faintly seen on the horizon. Source
