S. government on Tuesday acknowledged for the first time the harms that the construction and operation of dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers in the Pacific Northwest have caused Native American tribes.

The pilot and passenger of a small plane who died after crashing into a Steamboat Springs mobile home park Monday have been identified. Dan Dunn, 67, and Jessica Melton, 42, died in the plane crash, according to Routt County coroner Mitch Locke. None of the residents in the West Acres mobile home park were injured. Dunn was piloting the plane and Melton was the sole passenger, but it’s unclear what the two’s relationship was, Locke said. The plane — a Cessna 421 — took off from Longmont and was headed to Ogden, Utah when it crash landed in Steamboat Springs, sparking a fire that quickly engulfed two homes and several outbuildings, police and fire officials said on Facebook. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but according to preliminary reports from the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane was experiencing engine issues. The plane is registered under the business name of High County Aero with a Berthoud address in Larimer County linked to Dunn, according to FAA records.

Boston — The 911 system across Massachusetts went down Tuesday afternoon, making it impossible for anyone to reach emergency services. It was unclear how many communities were affected, said Elaine Driscoll, director of communications and policy at the state’s Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox advised the public to contact local police departments if they need help. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “In addition, if you’re having any issues that are medical related, or EMS or fire-related, you can go and pull your local call box, that’s the red light boxes that fire departments have on local street corners, to also get medical attention that way,” he said. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said residents shouldn’t worry about calling the correct number or facility for their emergency, but to just reach out to their nearest authorities. “If you are experiencing an emergency, if you find your way to police, fire or EMS, we will make sure that you get to the right place,” she said. She said authorities were working to resolve the issue. Cox said the disruption “could be very temporary.” “But we thought it was important, particularly with the heat that we’re about to experience, to make sure that we give people the opportunity to know what’s going on,” he said. Several years ago, Massachusetts suffered sporadic 911 outages.
