“People were dying and we didn’t know why,” Cornman told me. “We didn’t understand the physics of why the planes were crashing.” The deadly gusts were thought to be blowing in from the ocean or from thunderstorms outside the airports. But the danger turned out to be right above them. In the late seventies, researchers at NCAR and the University of Chicago discovered that the crashes were caused by microbursts—sudden, violent downdrafts. In a microburst, a storm cloud dumps cool air and rain straight down, like water from a broken awning. The air spreads horizontally after it lands, so the pilot thinks he’s flying into a headwind at first. He lifts the plane’s nose slightly and decreases the engines’ thrust. Then the downdraft hits, followed by a vicious tailwind, sending the aircraft to the ground.

Nintendo’s lawsuit, filed in the US Court of International Trade, cites a Supreme Court ruling from February that confirmed a lower courts’ opinion that the Trump administration’s global tariffs were illegal. Nintendo’s lawyers claim that the video game company has been “substantially harmed by the unlawful of execution and imposition” of “unauthorized Executive Orders,” and the fees Nintendo has already paid to import products into the country. In response, the company is seeking a “prompt refund, with interest” of the tariffs it has paid.
