My Watch Duty app is reporting on a fire in Malibu that's grown from 2 to 20 acres in the span of the last half hour. Per the report: "It is actively spotting ahead of itself & fire activity is increasing". We're having some vicious Santa Ana Winds today, so this could go sideways fast. 😣

So there was another aborted landing and go-around at LAX involving Lufthansa Flight #456 arriving from Frankfurt. I'm really wondering how any flight crew can run out of runway at LAX, ffs. The tail didn't touch down, or this would have been an entirely different story.

This is a still of a Lufthansa 747 overshooting its landing at LAX and deciding to abort, at which time the tail end of the plane almost touches the runway when the wheels leave the ground.
