A crane from a truck crashed on top of a large home in Hamilton Township, Mercer County, New Jersey.

The incident occurred Tuesday around 12:30 p.m. at a home on Lea Drive. Officials said workers were operating a crane to deliver a hot tub to the backyard of the home when they noticed something was off. The workers then saw the boom shifting toward the house and ran for cover as the crane crashed into the roof of the home.

Footage from SkyForce10 showed the crane on top of the damaged roof as well as the tilted truck.

The crane was removed as of Tuesday evening, but the newly renovated home still has to deal with the damage.

Inspectors will come to determine the full extent of the damage to the home and whether it is safe to live there.

Officials are still working to determine what caused the crane to crash into the home. However, no injuries were reported due to the incident.

The ongoing government shutdown is having major impacts for air travelers in and out of Southern California.

Monday night, there were no air traffic controllers working at the Hollywood Burbank Airport due to staffing shortages, which led to widespread delays and cancellations.

FAA reports staffing issues at airports as government shutdown continues

However, on Tuesday, air traffic controllers were scheduled to return to work and full staffing of the control tower at Hollywood Burbank Airport. Flight operations were expected to return to normal with flights starting at 7 a.m., according to the operations employee on duty.    

Early Tuesday morning, all of the flights leaving Burbank were on time and all of the flights coming into the San Fernando Valley airport were on time. Delays were reported later Monday, but those were due to weather conditions with widespread morning fog.

From 4:15 p.m. to 10 p.m., the FAA said there were no air traffic controllers in Burbank. The shortages were expected due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests and staffing issues, air traffic controllers at the airport told NBCLA.

The airport has a system in place to hand off air traffic control duties to another agency in the event of a shortage, they said. Southern California TRACON (SCT) serves most airports in Southern California, one of the busiest air spaces in the country. The agency’s air space includes an area from about 20 miles north of Burbank to the U.S.-Mexico border and from the San Bernardino area west to Santa Catalina Island.

The FAA said departures to Burbank were delayed an average of 151 minutes.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the airport was expected to remain without controllers until about 10 p.m., but officials were working to bring in staff as soon as possible.  It is unclear if controllers were actually back in the tower Monday night.

According to the FAA’s website, several measures were put in place, including ground delays at airports in other cities.    

Earlier in the day, airport spokesman Mike Christensen told City News Service that “operations and flights were running normally,” but referred further questions to the FAA once the staffing shortage took effect.

“As Secretary (Sean) Duffy said, there have been increased staffing shortages across the system. When that happens, the FAA slows traffic into some airports to ensure safe operations,” according to the FAA.    

Gov. Gavin Newsom blamed the situation on the shutdown, posting on X, “Thanks, @realDonaldTrump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15 p.m. to 10 p.m. today because of YOUR government shutdown.”

The government shutdown entered its sixth day Monday as Democrats and Republicans remained at odds over a funding plan. Both a GOP-backed stopgap measure and a Democratic alternative failed to advance in the Senate.    

The last federal shutdown lasted 35 days in 2018-19 during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.    

The FAA advised passengers to check https://fly.faa.gov for real-time flight impacts.

The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said that it is normal for a few controllers to call in sick on any given day and said what happened Monday night is the latest example of how national staffing shortages are a real problem.

The D.C. area is leading the way for an innovative community solution to improve the lives of our neighbors. Goodwill of Greater Washington is announcing a massive renovation of its flagship Arlington donation center and store.

The building that’s been there for decades is coming down, and a new partnership will rebuild a new Goodwill store that will also bring more than 120 new affordable homes.

The Goodwill store on S. Glebe Road is always bustling — but now it’s buzzing with news that it will temporarily close later this month. You probably know Goodwill as a place to donate gently used items and do thrift shopping, but those are just means to serve Goodwill’s primary mission.

“Goodwill’s primary mission is workforce development. We try to find jobs and job opportunities and provide job training for people who are faced with barriers to employment. One of the biggest barriers to employment is housing and daycare,” Brendan ​Hurley with Goodwill of Greater Washington​ said.

A new partnership will bring all of those solutions together in one place.

“This is the first Goodwill store that will have affordable housing attached to it, in the entire country,” Hurley said.

Goodwill has partnered with Affordable Homes and Communities (AHC) to develop a new Goodwill donation center, store, topped with 128 affordable homes. Most will be two- to three-bedroom units. The community will also have on-site childcare and on-site workforce development.

“This is a project that’s supported roundly by Arlington County, by the community at large,” said Mary Claire Davis of AHC. “And when the community comes together and decides it’s a priority, we can do things like this.”

The current store will close Oct. 27, and the project will break ground this winter. The new store is expected to open by the end of 2027, and residents can expect to move into the new affordable homes in 2028.

“In this time when things are challenging and it feels like we’re divided, it’s really exciting to work together and solve problems,” Davis said.

In the meantime, Goodwill is directing material donations to its other locations in Arlington County and Falls Church.

Firefighters were called out on Tuesday afternoon after smoke and flames were spotted in the North County community of De Luz.

The Sandia Fire is burning on Sandia Creek Road, west of Doville Ranch Road and Lynda Lane, in “a remote area with difficult access” just south of Riverside County.

The latest updates appeared to offer a conflicting picture of efforts to fight the fire: Evacuation warnings were issued at 5:22 for Zones SDC-0022 & SDC-0023 on the Genasys Evacuation Map, but 10 minutes later, officials said a very-large air tanker had been released by authorities coordinating the air attack.

Several firefighting aircraft have been spotted making drops, with others also being called for, with ground crews assigned to fight the flames as well. A call for additional resources has been sent out as well, authorities said.

Although Cal Fire stated earlier that the brush fire had burned 50 acres, with the potential to spread to 250 acres, that figure was later downgraded to 24 acres; at 4:38 p.m., Cal Fire said that structures in the area were being threatened.

A large plume of smoke is visible from the fire, which is burning northwest of Fallbrook and east of Camp Pendleton.
