I’ve lived in Northern and Central NJ since 1977. I grew up driving by Newark Airport on the Turnpike, watching the planes pass over so low. And now it’s happened.
United Airlines flight strikes light pole on the NJ Turnpike
-
A United flight arriving at EWR (Newark NJ) hit a bakery truck on the frickin' New Jersey Turnpike this afternoon. (Apparently the plane hit a light pole that hit the truck.) You need to watch the video to appreciate. The driver and the passengers are reportedly ok.

Weekly output: American Airlines WiFi, Archer Aviation eVTOL air taxis, Google display-ads antitrust violations
During one of the busier travel weeks of the year (happy Easter, everyone), it only seems right for two of my posts for clients to involve commercial aviation. Airlines also figure in my own schedule over the coming week, because Saturday night I depart for Brazil to moderate three panels at Web Summit Rio.
In addition to the posts below, I wrote one Thursday for Patreon readers about how my attitude about taking press trips–meaning, trips subsidized by the company or organization behind the event in question–has changed over the past 10 years.
4/15/2025: Free Inflight Wi-Fi (Finally) Coming to American Airlines, PCMag
AA started this week with the least-competitive WiFi pricing of any U.S. carrier, and now it has one of the most-asterisked announcements of free WiFi among its competitors.
4/17/2025: Archer Aviation, United Airlines Tease Electric Air Taxi Hops to NYC Airports, PCMag
Spending half an hour on a Teams call with Archer’s chief commercial officer Nikhil Goel yielded details left out of the the company’s press release–as well as a questionable assurance that the Trump administration’s devotion to innovation would speed the Federal Aviation Administration’s certification of its Midnight electric vertical-take-off-and-landing aircraft.
4/17/2025: Google Guilty of ‘Willfully Anticompetitive Acts’ in Display-Ads Business, Court Finds, PCMag
A little over two years after I filed a post from a deli in Wallops Island, Va., about the Justice Department’s lawsuit alleging multiple antitrust violations by Google in its display-ads business, I covered Judge Leonie Brinkema holding for the plaintiffs on three of their five claims in a ruling that could lead to the forced divestiture of major parts of Google’s display-ads business. Since that business has done my own industry few favors in recent years, I don’t feel too sorry for Google about that possibility.
