进击的巨人

A | Good news for flyers who opt for the window seat, your boarding zone will soon be prioritized on United Airlines.According to an internal memo from the Chicago-based carrier obtained by ABC News, starting on Oct. 26, the airline will change its boarding process for economy class passengers that will speed up getting seated and situated by two minutes.

United Airlines' new WILMA boarding process

"WILMA" boarding, which was tested at four domestic line stations, seats economy window passengers first followed by middle seats and aisle seats.While this does not affect pre-boarding groups, premium cabins and flyers with premier or alliance status before Group 3, the revision ensures that window seats and exit rows are followed by middle in Group 4 and aisle passengers in Group 5 during the boarding process."Multiple customers in a same economy reservation will receive the same and highest applicable boarding group excluding Basic Economy customers in boarding Group 6," the memo stated.According to United, this change comes at a time when there's a need for more efficiency, with the airline stating that "boarding times have increased by up to two minutes since 2019."The change also comes ahead of the busy holiday travel season that has previously been fraught with delays, in which a speedy boarding process can be extremely helpful in ensuring on-time departures.。当地时间1月14日，美国洛杉矶县方面表示，洛杉矶山火已造成至少25人死亡。

B | 此外，有超过1.2万栋建筑被毁，超过155.4平方公里的土地被烧毁。央视记者在山火灾区看到，一街之隔，却是两番景象。视频加载中...央视记者刘骁骞：在洛杉矶山火重灾区帕利塞德，我发现一个很奇怪的现象，和废墟仅仅一路之隔的地方，这些建筑却保存非常完好，似乎完全没有受到山火的影响。难道说大火在蔓延的时候特意绕过了这些地方吗？其实这些高档的商铺是“帕利塞德村购物中心”。根据美国主流媒体的披露，当地时间7日晚、8日凌晨山火蔓延后，购物中心的地产拥有者紧急地从相邻的亚利桑那州调来了一支私人救火队。几天前，洛杉矶消防部门还否认过私人救火队的作业，但这个说法很快不攻自破，而且雇佣私人消防服务的情况并不局限于购物中心这一家。这些水车都是私人租赁的，每一辆都装有12吨左右的水。它们就这样停在街边，随时待命。

C | 在美国，正常情况下，雇佣私人消防服务一般要通过消防部门或者保险公司，很少会直接和顾客对接。服务收费也很昂贵，能达到每小时2000美元。这个事件曝光后，很多洛杉矶居民，特别是那些在火灾中失去家园的受害者非常愤怒，又很无奈，还有什么比“有钱能让山火‘绕道’”更能体现社会的不公呢？同时，他们更想知道，如果私人消防队能阻止山火，为什么城市的消防队却做不到呢？还有更多疑问浮出水面，消防部门反馈，他们在救火时发现百分之二十的消火栓都没有水，或者水压太低。这个情况和当时私人消防队的作业有没有关系？同时，这些私家救火车的出现是否阻碍了民众的撤离和官方消防队的及时进入？这些恐怕都是下一个阶段加州政府必须调查的问题。
