DETROIT – Happy Spring. It feels good to say that! This winter was no joke. I don’t know about you but I can’t wait to see flowers popping out of the ground.
We’ve remained busy in the Help Me Hank unit. One story that got a of attention…was a very personal story about a Michigan native’s fight to make sure we’re safe in the sky.

Kathleen Handley’s mother was killed on United Flight 811, 30 years ago. The cargo door blew open and 9 passengers were pulled from the plane and died. The industry knew the door had a flaw too. The recent developments with the Boeing Max 8 737 planes have promoted people like Kathleen to speak out about the importance of this investigation. You can find her story below.
We have also been working on a few big investigations that will air soon.
We hope you enjoy the weekend.
Ben says it’s going be a nice one…finally!

Scam of the Week
The FTC is reminding people to watch out for tech support scams.
In fact, older adults are five times more likely to report losing money to a tech support scammer. Remember, a tech support company will not call you out of the blue to tell you there's something wrong with your computer.
And if a popup tells you to call a number because of suspicious activity on your computer…just ignore it.
