A ground stop was ordered Tuesday evening after a plane bound for Zurich, Switzerland, had to abort takeoff out of Boston’s Logan Airport.The Federal Aviation Administration said the Swiss International Air Lines flight was disabled on Runway 22R.“The crew of SWISS Flight 55 stopped their takeoff at Boston Logan International Airport due to engine issues around 6:25 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Sept. 16. The FAA briefly paused some arrivals to the airport before the plane taxied off the runway,” the agency said in a statement. “The FAA will investigate.”Video showed flames coming out of the plane.The Massachusetts Port Authority, which manages Logan Airport, said the flight returned there because of a sound.“The aircraft returned to Logan for a report of a loud noise,” a Massport spokesperson told NBC10 Boston in a statement. “Nothing was found upon investigation.”“We’re about halfway down the runway when all of a sudden, there’s kind of a boom noise and a big jolt, so the plane jolts forward,” said passenger Molly Furrer. “I could feel the plane braking and then started to skid down the runway until it came to a complete stop.”She says everyone seemed startled, but there was no screaming and passengers remained calm.Soon, the plane was surrounded by first responders.“Once the sirens and the ambulances started to come, and we weren’t told what was going on, that was kind of when the panic started to build a little bit more,” she said. “Because we’re like, ‘I don’t know, is the plane on fire in the back?’ We had no idea.”Furrer says it took several minutes for the pilots to explain what had happened.“The captain came on and told us that there was an engine warning for the second engine and that they had to turn off the engine quickly during takeoff,” she said.She’s thankful nobody was injured and she knows it could have been a lot worse.“The first feeling, fortunately, that I had was general relief that this was caught before we even got into the air, so we didn’t have to make an emergency landing,” said Furrer.The passengers on board that flight eventually headed out about five hours late.Stay with NBC10 Boston for more information as this story develops.

EBS is proud to unveil the newly enhanced NeoLine 112 Mk2 bass cabinet, now shipping with key upgrades that bring even more power, low-end, and reliability to the stage.The first significant change: the cabinet is now 4 inches deeper, offering a noticeable improvement in low-end response, projection, and overall tonal richness. This enhancement ensures that today's bassists get the punch and presence they need from a compact cabinet, whether they're in the studio, on tour, or pushing the limits live.Second, EBS has swapped out the previous flip handles in favor of a single heavy-duty deep-dish handle. This small but significant upgrade helps eliminate the risk of rattling noise, making the cab perform securely even at high volumes, while also improving durability and ease of transport. Third, the high-performance tweeter is now isolated and sealed from the rest of the cabinet, which also helps to reduce the risk of noise due to the sound pressure within the cabinet.Despite the deeper cabinet, and due to the Neodymium speakers and choice of wood, it remains a lightweight cabinet, weighing in at 14.35 kg (31.6 lb).Already a favorite for its lightweight construction and road-ready build, the updated NeoLine 112 (Mk2) now delivers even greater performance with no compromises. It's a compact speaker for serious players. Despite the improvements, the price remains intact.The updated NeoLine 112 Mk2 is available now.Find out more at https://ebssweden.com/cabs/neoline/

Microsoft and Asus are bringing forth the new Asus ROG Xbox Ally handheld next month, and it’s kind of a big deal. Arguably the most noteworthy Xbox device to emerge in over a decade, it’s also arguably not an Xbox... since it’s running full Windows 11. But to create an omnibus of all your installed games in one UI, Microsoft is updating its Xbox app with an integrated view.This has been in testing for a while, centralizing a single launch area for games from the Microsoft Store, Xbox Game Pass, Steam, Activision-Blizzard’s Battle.net, and GOG. Games are automatically added to the Xbox app’s “My Library” area upon installation. Fortnite on the Epic Games Store also makes an appearance on the Xbox Wire story (spotted by The Verge).The update is live on my PC, and indeed, I’m seeing a bunch of games on my system in it. Just so many games. Getting info from Steam seems to be a little hit and miss—several of them are showing a missing logo or a generic one, like the Unity logo for a demo.Michael Crider/FoundryMicrosoft isn’t the first company to try uniting the disparate interfaces for buying, installing, and playing games on Windows. But as the gatekeeper of the platform with new hardware to push, it might have the best chance of actually pulling it off. Just in time, too. The clunkiness of Windows 11 in handheld form factor is well-known, and the various attempts to get around it by companies like Asus and Lenovo have left a lot to be desired.Today’s Xbox app update also shows third-party apps in a simplified, touch-friendly launcher for handheld PCs. According to the Xbox Wire post, an additional update “coming later in September” will show you your cloud playing history across Windows devices—again, just like Steam already does. The additional feature that’s more useful is the ability to “Jump back in” from the home page, presumably integrated with some cloud-synced save files and other settings.

The world’s fondness for matcha is about to be tested by steep price increases.Global demand for the powdered tea has skyrocketed around the world, fueled by consumer interest in its health benefits and by the bright green matcha lattes bubbling up on social media. In the U.S., retail sales of matcha are up 86% from three years ago, according to NIQ, a market research firm.But the matcha market is troubled. In Japan, one of the biggest matcha producers, poor weather reduced this year’s harvest. Matcha is still plentiful in China, another major producer, but labor shortages and high demand have also raised prices there.For Americans, there’s the added impact of tariffs. Imports from China are currently subject to a 37.5% tariff, while the U.S. has a 15% tariff on imports from Japan. It’s not clear if tea will be exempted from tariffs because it’s a natural product that’s not grown in significant quantities in the U.S. — an accommodation that the Trump administration has made for cork from the European Union. The Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative didn’t respond to messages left by The Associated Press.Aaron Vick, a senior tea buyer with California-based tea importer G.S. Haly, says he paid 75% more for the highest-grade 2025 crop of Japanese matcha, which will arrive in the U.S. later this fall. He expects lower grades of matcha to cost 30% to 50% more. Chinese matcha — while generally cheaper than Japanese matcha — is also getting more expensive because of high demand, he said.“People should expect an enormous increase in the price of matcha this year,” Vick said. “It’s going to be a bit of a tough ride for matcha devotees. They will have to show the depth of their commitment at the cash register.”Even before this year’s harvest, growing demand was straining matcha supplies. Making matcha is precise and labor intensive. Farmers grow tencha — a green tea leaf — in the shade. In the spring, the leaves are harvested, steamed, de-stemmed and de-veined and then stone ground into a fine powder. Tencha can be harvested again in the summer and fall, but the later harvests are generally of lower quality.There are ways to cut corners, like using a jet mill, which grinds the leaves with high pressure air. But Japan has other issues, including a rapidly aging workforce and limited tencha production. And despite Japanese agricultural ministry trying to coax tea growers to switch to tencha from regular green tea, many are reluctant to do so, concerned that the matcha boom will fade.That’s giving an opening to China, where matcha originated but fell out of favor in the 14th century. Chinese matcha production has been growing in recent years to meet both domestic and international demand.Chinese matcha has historically been considered inferior to Japanese matcha and used as a flavoring for things like matcha-flavored KitKat bars instead of as a drinking tea. But the quality is improving, according to Jason Walker, the marketing director at Firsd Tea, the New Jersey-based U.S. subsidiary of Zhejiang Tea Group, China’s largest tea exporter.“We are seeing more and more interest in Chinese matcha because of capacity issues and changing perception,” Walker said. “It used to be the idea that it has to be Japanese matcha or nothing. But we have a good product too.”Starbucks is among the companies using matcha from China for its lattes. The company said it also sources matcha from Japan and South Korea. Dunkin’ and Dutch Bros. didn’t respond when asked where they source the matcha.Josh Mordecai, the supply chain director for London-based tea supplier Good & Proper Tea, said he is approached almost daily by Chinese matcha suppliers. For now, he only buys matcha from Japan, but the cost to acquire it has risen 40% so he’ll have to raise prices, he said.Mordecai said he saw more demand for matcha in the last year than in the previous nine years combined. If matcha prices continue to rise, he wonders if consumers will switch to other tea varieties like hojicha, a roasted Japanese green tea.“We’ll see if this is a bubble or not. Nothing stays on social media that long,” Mordecai said.Julia Mills, a food and drink analyst for the market research company Mintel, expects the social media interest in matcha to die down. But she thinks matcha will remain on menus for a while.Mills said matcha appeals to customers interested in wellness, since it contains antioxidants and l-theanine, an amino acid known for its calming effects, and it’s less caffeinated than coffee. Millennials and Generation Z customers are more likely to have tried matcha than others, Mills said.The traditional way of preparing it, whisking the powder together with hot water in a small bowl, also appeals to drinkers who want to slow down and be more intentional, Mills said.That’s true for Melissa Lindsay of San Francisco, who whisks up some matcha for herself every morning. Lindsay has noticed prices rising for her high-end matcha, but it’s a habit she’d find hard to quit.“It’s not just a tea bag in water,” Lindsay said. “It’s a whole experience of making it to your liking.”David Lau, the owner of Asha Tea House in San Francisco, hopes to keep customers drinking matcha by limiting price increases. Lau raised the price of his matcha latte by 50 cents after the cost the matcha he buys from Japan more than doubled. He’s also looking into alternate suppliers from China and elsewhere.“We’re in the affordable luxury business, you know, just like any other specialty cafe. We want people to be able to come every day, and once you reach a certain price level, you start to price people out,” he said. “We want to be really cognizant and aware of not doing that.AP Video Journalist Haven Daley contributed from San Francisco.—Dee-Ann Durbin, AP Business Writer
