SUMMARY: A Cobb County man passed out due to extreme heat on a Delta Air Lines flight from Savannah to Atlanta last month. The plane, delayed on the tarmac for over 30 minutes without air conditioning, caused unbearable cabin temperatures. Emergency crews rushed the man to a Savannah hospital, where doctors warned he nearly suffered heatstroke. Delta confirmed the incident and stated it will cover related medical costs. This is not the first time Delta has faced such issues; a similar heat-related incident occurred in 2023 on a delayed Las Vegas-to-Atlanta flight. Delta says uncomfortable cabin heat is uncommon and they review such cases to prevent recurrences.

Arsenio Young experienced extreme heat exhaustion on a delayed Delta flight without air conditioning, leading to his hospitalization. Delta acknowledged the incident and stated they would address treatment costs, noting that uncomfortable cabin temperatures can occur in certain circumstances.

SUMMARY: A new South Carolina law now requires children under 12 to wear seatbelts in golf carts, effective immediately, to improve passenger safety. Golf carts are widely used in the Lowcountry but have caused several accidents on the Isle of Palms, including rollovers and passengers being ejected. The law, signed by Governor Henry McMaster, also mandates that drivers be at least 16 years old, licensed, and restricts golf cart operation to daytime. Officials emphasize educating the public on safety, seatbelt installation, and proper use. Parents are urged to follow the rules to prevent accidents and legal issues.
