I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10 and we start
today with news on the passing of former
first lady rosn Carter wife of the 39th
president of the United States Jimmy
Carter in a statement from The Carter
Center the nonprofit organization
founded by the former president and
first lady Miss rosand passed away
peacefully with her family by her side
at her home in Georgia on Sunday Mrs
Carter was diagnosed with dementia in
May then entered Hospice Care toward the
end of last week she was 96 years old
rosn and Jimmy Carter were married for
more than 77 years longer than any
couple to have taken up Residence at the
White House President Carter served as a
single term president from 1977 to 1981
but the couple was very active in their
post-white house years Rosland played an
instrumental role for their humanitarian
work by establishing the Carter Center
and being an advocate for affordable
housing while working alongside Habitat
for Humanity for more than 30 years rosn
was her husband's heart and soul the
former president said in a statement
rosand was my equal partner in
everything I ever accomplished she gave
me wise guidance and encouragement when
I needed it as long as rosand was in the
world I always knew somebody loved and
supported me Ceremonies for the former
first lady are slated to take place next
week more now on rosn Carter's legacy
and reaction from President Joe Biden
and First Lady Joe Biden tributes
continue pouring in for the late Rosalyn
Carter you know they're really an
Incredible family because they brought
so much grace to the office the former
first lady died Sunday after entering
Hospice Care on Friday she was well
known for her efforts on mental health
and caregiving and women's rights so I
hope that uh during the holidays uh
you'll consider saying you're include
the Carter family family in your prayers
Mrs Carter was actively involved in her
husband's presidency and a strong
advocate for equal treatment of the
mentally ill nobody even talked to each
other about their own mental illness at
all and U and now to see that um um that
actually people can recover is is the
greatest thing but it was the couple's
work after leaving the white house that
would leave the longest Legacy
redefining and revolutionizing the post
presidency
in 1981 they spearheaded A new challenge
joining with Habitat for Humanity
building houses for the poor a year
later they established the Carter Center
a foundation devoted to promoting human
rights resolving conflicts and
eradicating diseases I'm proud of the
work of the Carter Center which has
developed to become one of the most
admired and respected institutions not
only nationally but
internationally 10 second trivia on
which island chain would you find the
town of Kittyhawk where the first
airplane flight was made Outer Banks
Florida Keys sea Islands or Elizabeth
Islands if you said Outer Banks put your
hands up back in 1903 the right flyer
made the first piloted airplane flight
on the Outer Banks of North
Carolina our next story is Pretty Fly
it's about some students who could very
well be the right Brothers and Sisters
of the now they spend their school week
in an airplane hanger at JFK airp port
and queens at the aviation career in
Technical High School they take
Traditional School courses but they also
get their Hands-On mechanic training to
help propeller them on a path in the
aviation industry put your lap trays and
seatbacks in the upright and locked
position let's
go there's a lot of opportunity in this
Aviation that a lot of high school don't
have all right tell me how this preas
syst works ladies and gentlemen these
aren't paid airplane mechanics or
professional repair technicians their
students at Aviation High School in
Queens New York Aviation High School is
a public New York City High School that
is also a Federal Aviation
Administration regulated aviation
maintenance school we are one of the
largest in the country all the
traditional high school cour workk plus
Hands-On work that can get them a job in
the aviation industry right after high
school at Aviation students learn every
aspect of the plane they specialize in
certifications that allow them to
succeed in careers in air aircraft
management and Manufacturing taking on
roles as airplane mechanics air traffic
controllers and flight dispatchers as
soon as they graduate we want to make
sure that they're in class every day
that they're they're studying every day
that they're getting all their jobs done
properly because again there's people's
lives at stake when they get into the
workforce to work on the airplanes that
we all fly on you know there's like so
many um different parts of the plane
that you really need to have some idea
of each section and really every single
class prepares you somewhat for that uh
for that road into uh the aviation field
like other career in technical high
schools Aviation High struggles with
recruiting women in fact women make up
less than 10% of all skilled trade jobs
across the
country I think in any class I'm in
there's less than 10 girls in that class
every day I feel like I have to prove
myself and that's hard but it's very
rewarding when I finish at the same Pace
that the boys
do getting into Aviation High isn't easy
in 2023 just over 4,000 applicants
competed for only 500 seats at the
school students travel by train bus and
faery from all over New York City
commuting up to 2 and 1/2 hours to
attend the
school so it's very early mornings
sometimes like currently I have to be
here about like 6:30 because I'm coming
to practice in for my licensing I mean
it's worth a commute to come here to do
what I'm doing right now but it is
sometimes very lengthy vocational
programs are definitely now getting a
lot more focused and schools like ours
that are aligned with an industry that
has huge need of course is creating
another major Focus for Education
systems across the country the numbers
they're predicting the the desire for
Airlines to find technicians yesterday
is already felt so it's something that
we're dealing with they're putting
together packages to try and lure
technicians to their company cuz the
need is so huge you can see the world
and you're not locked down at a desk
you're always doing something
different all right all you turkeys we
are headed right into the middle and
maybe The Madness of Thanksgiving week
specifically when it comes to travel
this is expected to be the busiest our
roadways and Airways have been in years
on top of that we're also looking down
the eye of some serious storms old
mother nature will be making herself
felt in full force with rain snow and
severe storms set to impact large
portions of the us our inimitable and
magnificent meteorologist Allison
chinchar is here to break it all down as
you pack your bags to travel this
holiday week you may also want to pack
your patience as Mother Nature could add
delays both in the air and on the
roadways a low pressure system
developing over the central us on Sunday
will slide Eastward in the coming days
bringing the chance of rain rain snow
high winds and even possible tornadoes
by Monday the system focuses over the
Midwest and the southeast with nearly 20
million people under the threat for
severe storms along the Gulf Coast
Tuesday is when the real problems begin
especially if you have flights in or out
of the main connecting airports in the
eastern half of the country including
New York DC charet Atlanta and Chicago
as for the roadways rain will lead to
soggy conditions at times for
interstates 95 85 75 40 and 70 there
will also be a rain snow mix for the
Upper Midwest and interior New
[Applause]
England for today's story getting a 10
out of 10 let's head to the White House
South lawn where President Joe Biden
continued the annual American
presidential tradition of pardoning a
turkey to Pardon means to forgive and in
this instance the pardoning means that
the president is uh sparing the turkeys
from being served alongside pumpkin pies
mashed potatoes and casseroles the
pardoning of a turkey is one of the
traditional White House Thanksgiving
festivities marking an opportunity to
give thanks as the holiday season begins
after their pardoning this year's
turkeys Liberty and Bell will be
relocated to a farm to gobble and play
