Why These Giant Storage Tanks Increasingly Hold Very Little Oil
Hundreds of steel tanks several stories tall rise like giant bales of hay from the plains. They make up the largest private oil storage site in the United States, and, after six months of war, they are close to the emptiest they have been in recent years.

Looking Down at This Winter's Big Freeze
For much of North America, the past month has felt less like a season and more like a siege.

What We Know About the Fate of Iran’s Nuclear Program After Israeli and U.S. Strikes
This weekend, President Trump declared that Iran’s nuclear capabilities were “completely and totally obliterated” by U.S. airstrikes. The full extent of the damage, which is being assessed by U.S. spy agencies, is still unclear.
As U.S. Considers Using Bunker-Buster Bombs, Here’s What It Takes to Hit Iran’s Deepest Nuclear Site
The B-2 can operate at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet. Commercial airliners typically fly at a maximum altitude of 40,000 feet. As it approaches its target, maintaining a speed of approximately 500 miles per hour, a door at the belly of the bomber opens to drop the bomb. GBU-57/B The GBU-57/B weighs as much as a school bus. The bomb has only been tested before and has never been used in combat. After the bomb is deployed, it uses GPS to reach the target.
Swept by the fires, away from their lives
In the aftermath of the Los Angeles fires that destroyed thousands of homes and properties, many fire victims moved far away from Altadena and Pacific Palisades in a sudden diaspora that upended the two tight-knit communities in ways beyond the initial loss of property. Residents now living in rentals, with expenses that have ballooned, expressed frustration with school transfers, longer commutes to work and the overnight disappearance of yearslong relationships with their neighbors.

A deadly midair collision between an American Airlines passenger jet and a U.S. Army helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington highlights the complexity of navigating an airspace with many civilian and military aircraft. The airport has three runways that intersect, but only one is used for nearly all of its hundreds of daily flights. With the routes of aircraft routinely criss-crossing one another, there is little room for error as planes descend onto the runways.

Getting around the West Bank is never easy, but it’s a lot harder if you are Palestinian. That’s no accident. We rode along on two bus trips, one for Israelis, the other for Palestinians, that tell a story of separate and unequal roadways. The two passengers departed from neighboring communities and even used some of the same roads. At a roundabout near Jerusalem, the paths of the Israeli and the Palestinian diverged dramatically.
