A young woman draws on a cardboard near a writing that says, 'It's time to think about destroying highways not building them'. Opponents of the planned A69 highway gather in Maurens-Scopont, Tarn department, France, for a weekend of protests called 'Turboteuf' in the domain of the Maurens-Scopont castle. After protesters try to break into the work site to reach a bridge, riot policemen and protesters scuffle. Riot police use volleys of tear gas canisters. The decision of the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse greenlights the resumption of leveling works on the A69 highway. The Administrative Court of Toulouse decides on February 27 to suspend all works on the A69 project highway between Toulouse and Castres. NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and asks the Court to let the works continue during the time the appeal is judged. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department propose a retroactive law to authorize the building of the A69. They say they want to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca says all leveling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the leveling works and highway structure are not close to the numbers given by Atosca. Moreover, several problems plague the work, such as water evacuation and protection of species. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') wants the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. All expropriations for farmers are not cleared. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed. Maurens-Scopont, Tarn, France, on July 6, 202.

18 February 2025

A protester holds a placard that reads, 'Justice we're here! Prove your independence! Think of common goods.' People gather in Toulouse, France, on February 18, 2025, as plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres go on 'administrative' trial against the French State along with the builder, NGE, and its concessionary Atosca. The last hearing (in theory) against the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway takes place at the Administrative Court of Toulouse. In December, surprising everyone, the judge decides to reopen the files instead of giving the court decision on the content. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), pleads, among other things, that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Imperative for public interest,' is invalid, as did before the 'Rapporteur Public.' The 'Rapporteur Public' sticks to her position that all environmental authorizations should be nullified, taking down the 'Major Imperative for Public Interest.' If confirmed, it will stop the building of the A69 highway. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money.

The localizer antenna facility, essential for guiding aircraft landings near the runway at Muan International Airport in Muan-gun, South Jeolla Province, South Korea, is damaged after a collision with Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 on December 29, 2024. Multiple international aviation experts point out that, unlike the standard design, where such facilities are placed at runway level or elevated on steel towers, the facility at Muan International Airport is secured with thick concrete on a 2-3 meter-high mound of soil. This unconventional design is highlighted as a potential key factor contributing to the tragedy. Jeju Air Flight 7C2216, a Boeing 737-800 carrying 181 people, skids off the runway and collides with a wall, triggering a devastating explosion. Only two crew members seated near the rear emergency exit survive. With 179 confirmed fatalities, this tragedy becomes the deadliest domestic passenger plane crash in South Korean history. Muan International Airport is located approximately 300 km southwest of central Seoul.
