Article Icon 1DIA Trespasser Collision Raises Questions

Federal officials and local police continue to investigate an incident in which a Frontier Airlines plane fatally struck a person on a Denver International Airport (DIA) runway late Friday night.

The person had been trespassing on the airfield after jumping a perimeter fence, DIA said. The collision sparked an engine fire and forced the evacuation of all 224 passengers and seven crew members. Twelve passengers reported minor injuries.

Experts called the crash an “extraordinary incident” that could prompt airports nationwide to reassess perimeter security. A former DIA security officer said the airfield’s east side has been a known “vulnerability point” for years.

Passengers also voiced concern about the evacuation, saying they were stuck in the plane as smoke filled the cabin, then left outside in the cold. The National Transportation Safety Board said it is gathering information to determine whether the evacuation warrants a safety investigation.

Article Icon 1Victor Declares Water Emergency

Victor, a city in Teller County, declared an emergency Sunday in response to a service outage that’s left the mountain community without reliable water service for days.

A water main broke Thursday during work to replace aging infrastructure. The break led to a system failure, leaving most people in Victor and nearby Goldfield with intermittent or no service.

The city instructed those with service not to use water for drinking, cooking, showering, laundry, or other nonessential purposes, as crews work to restore the system. Potable water, non-potable water, and showers have been made available to the public.

Residents should plan for up to 72 hours without reliable service, the city said Sunday. A boil order may last as late as May 21, depending on how quickly the water can be treated.

Article Icon 1Heat Wave Brings Summer Weather

A heat wave is expected to bring summer-like weather and highs up to 90 degrees this week.

Today, a weak cold front will push highs on the Front Range down into the upper 70s and low 80s, with a slight chance for isolated afternoon showers or thunderstorms near the foothills. The Western Slope, meanwhile, could see highs up to 95 degrees.

Heat will ramp up across the state Wednesday, reaching the mid-to upper 80s and possibly topping 90 degrees in some areas. Denver could see its first 90-degree day of the year.

Thursday and Friday may bring more thunderstorms and showers, depending on the track of an approaching storm system.

The Flyover

 
For years, the biggest complaint for hearing aid users has been the same: "I can hear, but I can't understand." Traditional hearing aids relied on fixed programs where you had to manually switch settings or hope the device guessed right. That era is officially over.
 
At Hello Hearing Studios, a company proudly founded and rooted right here in Colorado, we are introducing AI-powered technology that doesn’t just "process" sound; it understands it using Deep Neural Networks (DNN). These devices are trained on over 22 million real-world sound environments. They act like a high-definition lens for your ears, instantly distinguishing between the clinking of silverware and your spouse's voice, or the hum of a car engine and a grandchild’s whisper.
 
This isn't just "louder" sound; it's significantly better speech clarity in the toughest environments. Unlike older technology that simply turned everything up, these AI-driven processors are sharpening what matters while fading the background into a natural, soft ambiance.
