What's happening now

LaGuardia — EMAS-ersättning väntas efter incident (2016-10-01)

A source-backed watch item, not confirmation of an active project or current physical installation.

Why RWI is watching this: Old enough that treating it as current would be misleading, but RWI has no evidence yet of what happened since. Not discarded - just unconfirmed.
