}}[[Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota|Lac qui Parle County]], in Minnesota, United States, had two battles for its [[county seat]] during the 1800s. The first was between [[Williamsburg, Minnesota|Williamsburg]] and [[Lac qui Parle, Minnesota|Lac qui Parle Village]]. The second was between [[Dawson, Minnesota|Dawson]] and [[Madison, Minnesota|Madison]] which culminated in the [[County (United States)|county]] [[courthouse]] being stolen and a case being brought to the [[Minnesota Supreme Court]].<ref name=":0" />

After the establishment of [[Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota|Lac qui Parle County]] in 1871 by the [[Minnesota Legislature]], a dispute over the [[county seat]] almost immediately erupted between [[Williamsburg, Minnesota|Williamsburg]] (now a [[ghost town]]) and [[Lac qui Parle, Minnesota|Lac qui Parle Village]]. In 1872, Lac qui Parle Village was declared to be the county seat.<ref name=":0">[https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/0cd63179-351c-4cd5-8611-9311ca65aed2 "National Registry of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination Form, Lac qui Parle County Courthouse"] ''National Park Service''.

== Dispute ==
In 1884, the [[Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway]] was built through the county, but bypassed Lac qui Parle Village. This stunted the community's opportunities for future growth. Two new towns were founded in 1884 along the railway's route, [[Dawson, Minnesota|Dawson]] and [[Madison, Minnesota|Madison]]. In April 1885, Dawson and Madison sparked a new battle for the county seat. Residents of both towns petitioned the county board for the relocation of the county seat and an election was scheduled for November 1886. During the year and a half before the election, the ''[[Dawson Sentinel|Dawson Eagle]]'' and the ''Madison Press'', newspapers representing their respective towns, entered an editorial battle on issues like the county seat and their subsequent [[rivalry]], spurred on by local business leaders, which continued until the 1900s.<ref name=":0" /> The animosity and actions between the two cities was called a "county seat war" by various newspapers at the time.<ref>{{Cite news |date=20 November 1886 |title=Mora.

A legal battle ensued, culminating in the case being heard by the [[Minnesota Supreme Court]] in September 1887.

'''Marineland''' (official name '''Marineland of Canada Inc.''') is a themed [[zoo]] and [[amusement park]] in [[Niagara Falls, Ontario]], Canada. It is operating on a reduced scale while it is slated for redevelopment. No amusement rides are operating and it is claimed that all land animals have been transferred from the facility, however videos in 2024 showed large numbers of deer and some bears still on site. The park continues to exhibit [[dolphin]]s and [[beluga whale]]s.

In the past, the park had performing [[Marine life|marine animal]] shows, exhibits of marine and land animals, and amusement rides. The marine mammals included [[dolphin]]s, [[sea lion]]s, and [[beluga whale]]s. Until 2023, the park also kept [[walrus]]es and [[orca|orcas]].<ref name="CBC-Kiska">{{cite web |title=Kiska, the last captive killer whale in Canada, has died |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/kiska-killer-whale-marineland-dies-1.6775673? |website=CBC |publisher=The Canadian Press |access-date=March 11, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230311020042/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/kiska-killer-whale-marineland-dies-1.6775673 |archive-date=March 11, 2023 |date=March 10, 2023}}</ref> The park also kept bears, deer, and other land animals.

It was founded and operated by [[John Holer]], a [[Slovenes|Slovenian]] immigrant, from 1961 until his death in 2018. He started with one tank and built the operation into a major attraction and employer.

The park's keeping of [[marine mammals]] is controversial, and the park has been involved in several lawsuits related to the practice. The keeping of the sea mammals is opposed by [[animal rights activists]], and Marineland has been the site of numerous animal rights demonstrations.

=== Land animals ===
In addition to marine exhibits, Marineland features land animals at its park, such as black bears and deer. In 2023, Marineland was charged by the province of Ontario for providing inadequate care to their black bears under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ontario charges Marineland over care of its black bears |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/marineland-charges-black-bears-1.6860742 |website=CBC News |publisher=The Canadian Press |access-date=June 17, 2023 |archive-date=June 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230617165321/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/marineland-charges-black-bears-1.6860742 |url-status=live }}</ref> Marineland was charged $85,000 in 2024 for failing to improve conditions for their black bears after the previous visit. Provincial inspectors concluded that these animals had minimal access to water, were being kept in unsuitable enclosures, and were unable to fulfill their psychological needs.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Fung |first1=Nathan |title=Marineland ordered to pay $85K after failing to improve living conditions for 3 young bears |url=https://www.cbc.ca/1.7295868 |website=CBC News |access-date=August 18, 2024}}</ref>

==History==
{{see also |#Animal controversies}}
The park was founded by [[John Holer]], a Slovenian immigrant who had worked in circuses in Europe.<ref name="gm-2018-07-22"/> Holer and a partner bought a portion of the [[Harry Oakes]] estate near the falls. The park opened in 1961 as "Marine Wonderland and Animal Farm".<ref name=star/><ref>{{cite news |title=Attraction is being expanded |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19760718&id=zzkjAAAAIBAJ&pg=2157,4711494 |page=52 |access-date=October 3, 2011 |newspaper=Reading Eagle |date=July 18, 1976 |archive-date=December 1, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211201125224/https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19760718&id=zzkjAAAAIBAJ&pg=2157%2C4711494 |url-status=live }}</ref> Holer welded two large steel tanks together and brought in three sea lions and charged one quarter for admission and another to feed the animals.<ref name=star/> The attraction also featured an underwater show featuring two female swimmers.<ref name=windsor/> In 1963, a trained sea lion "Jeff" escaped from Marine Wonderland and made it to the Niagara River and went over the falls. Holer offered a {{CAD|50}} reward and organized a helicopter search.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=Trained Seal Flips Over Falls |date=May 24, 1963 |page=1}}</ref> The seal was recaptured by Holer a few days later in [[Queenston, Ontario|Queenston]], where it was found sunning itself with teenager Tommy Haines, who was given the reward.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=Flying Tackle Nabs Falls-Flipping Seal |date=May 27, 1963 |page=5}}</ref> In 1964, Holer added two dolphins, along with a few other animals and the attraction became known as "Marineland And Game Farm".<ref name=windsor/> By 1966, a 2,000-seat "aquatheatre" was completed along with a "grotto" of aquariums and shops.<ref name=windsor/> The grotto in the new Aquarium Dome contained eight tanks used to display fresh-water fish.<ref name="star-1968-08-18">{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |first=Lotta |last=Dempsey |title=51,200 pounds of choice fish that's no fun shopping spree |date=August 18, 1968 |page=55}}</ref> The park became a popular family attraction and recorded an annual attendance of 250,000 for the 1967 season.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |first=Lotta |last=Dempsey |title=The new look at Niagara for children |date=August 17, 1968 |page=36}}</ref> In 1968, the park added [[alligator]]s.<ref name="star-1968-08-18"/> Neighbouring attraction "Niagara Falls Indian Village" closed down after the 1968 season and Marineland purchased their property.<ref>{{cite book |title=Covering Niagara: Studies in Local Popular Culture |first1=Joan |last1=Nicks |first2=Barry Keith |last2=Grant |year=2010 |publisher=Wilfrid Laurier Univ.

In 1971, Marineland added orcas. "Kandu" became the park's major attraction. In 1973, the aquarium purchased Kandy, a {{convert|4000|lb|kg|adj=on}} female orca captured off Vancouver Island in 1973, to mate with Kandu,<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=Whale by mail is bride-to-be for killer |date=October 30, 1973 |page=A6}}</ref> but she died later that year. Kandu lived until 1979 and was replaced by Nootka, captured and brought to the park in 1981. Nootka lived until 2008.<ref name="cetabase.org"/> By 1975, the park kept over 1,000 animals and claimed to be Niagara Falls' "most popular attraction after the falls."<ref>{{citation |title=Make friends with our animals in our beautiful game farm |author=Marineland |newspaper=Toronto Star |date=June 30, 1975 |pages=D18-19}}</ref> In 1975, Marineland became involved in a controversy over another orca captured off Vancouver Island. The capture of 'Kanduke' by the [[Sealand of the Pacific]] aquarium of [[Victoria, British Columbia]], for purchase by Marineland was blocked by the [[Government of British Columbia]], at the instigation of [[Greenpeace]] activists. Claimed to be property by the BC government and resources by the [[Government of Canada]], the orca eventually was transported to Marineland after it was determined that orcas were a resource under the control of the Canadian government.<ref>{{cite news |work=CBC News |first=Deborah |last=Wilson |title=B.C.'s pipeline battle has parallels in 1975 standoff over killer whale capture |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-pipeline-kinder-morgan-environment-whales-barrett-horgan-1.4538089 |date=February 18, 2018 |access-date=March 6, 2018 |archive-date=February 26, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180226113319/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-pipeline-kinder-morgan-environment-whales-barrett-horgan-1.4538089 |url-status=live }}</ref> The incident led to the ending of the capture of orcas in British Columbia waters.

In 1976, Marineland announced a {{CAD|50 million}} expansion on 1,000 adjacent acres, to include a 400-acre "safari park" and amusement centre.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=$50 facelifting for aquatic show |date=January 15, 1976 |page=E11}}</ref> Construction began on a new 15,000-seat stadium and pool for killer whales.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |date=July 22, 1976 |title=No hardhat for friendly Freda |page=E6}}</ref> Marineland purchased two locomotives for a steam train railroad.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=All A-B-O-O-O-A-R-D For Wild West in 1981 |date=July 12, 1978 |page=B8}}</ref> When plans for [[Canada's Wonderland]] were announced, Holer decided to further increase the park's expansion plans, adding a Gothic castle, canals and the world's largest roller coaster, for a total cost of {{CAD|80 million}}.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=A Place to Stand ..

In 1982, Marineland purchased [[Keiko (orca)|Keiko]], a killer whale, from an aquarium in [[Hafnarfjörður]], Iceland. Keiko started performing for the public and developed skin [[lesion]]s indicative of poor health.

In 2004, Marineland opened the "Sky Screamer" triple tower ride. That same year, Marineland bought the Green Oaks Mobile Home Park across the street from the park with plans to relocate maintenance buildings to the site. In 2009, Marineland evicted 47 families that were tenants at the park. The tenants appealed to the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board, lost their case and were ordered off the property by March 2010.

In April 2014, the Vancouver newspaper ''[[The Georgia Straight]]'' published an article alleging that five harbour seals transferred from the [[Vancouver Aquarium]] had fallen ill at Marineland due to "poor water chemistry". According to the article, one, Pepper, died in 2006 from the conditions while the rest were blind. Marineland filed a {{CAD|600,000}} lawsuit in July 2014 against ''The Georgia Straight'' and the article's writer for defamation and damages. According to Marineland, Pepper did not die as described in the article and the others were not blind but were in fact generally healthy.

===Demers allegations===
In May 2012, [[Philip Demers]], trainer of the walrus Smooshi, resigned from Marineland. He had been an employee of Marineland for 12 years and had been noted for his close relationship with Smooshi. Demers made public his concerns about Marineland and has been sued by Marineland.<ref name="nfr-2017-8-10"/> In Demers' version of accounts, Smooshi was moved from Marineland's barn to the Aquarium, where Demers said she deteriorated because of problems with the water. Smooshi was returned to the barn but problems returned. He asked for more walrus trainers, but his request was denied. By 2012, he had had responsibilities for hiring and training employees taken away, and he chose to resign.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |url=https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2012/08/15/marineland_heartache_for_smooshi_the_walrus_as_top_trainer_quits.html |title=Marineland: Heartache for Smooshi the walrus as top trainer quits |date=August 15, 2012 |first=Linda |last=Diebel |access-date=August 11, 2017 |archive-date=August 11, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811223222/https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2012/08/15/marineland_heartache_for_smooshi_the_walrus_as_top_trainer_quits.html |url-status=live }}</ref> On August 15, 2012, the ''Toronto Star'' published an article of Demers' account, alleging that many sea mammals at Marineland live in inhumane conditions and suffer from a variety of illnesses caused by problems with water quality and chronic understaffing.

===Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act===
In 2015, then-Senator Wilfred Moore of the [[Senate of Canada]] introduced Bill S-203, the ''[[Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act]]''. Marineland would be one of two facilities in Canada to be affected by the law after the bill is passed. Marineland, along with the Vancouver Aquarium, opposed the bill. According to Marineland, the Act advances an agenda of entrenching animal rights into the legal framework: "the granting of the rights of a person to whales—what activists call a 'non- human person'—and then to other species".<ref name=soc-2017/> The bill would "fundamentally and critically damage Marineland" and "essentially destroy Marineland's future".<ref name=soc-2017/> Marineland stated that it had enough belugas, but it wanted to get more porpoises in the future and a companion for its one orca.<ref name=soc-2017/> In September 2017, Green Party of Canada leader [[Elizabeth May]] filed a complaint to the Parliament of Canada's Lobbying Commissioner about Marineland's breaches of the Canadian ''[[Lobbying Act (Canada)|Lobbying Act]].'' Marineland had privately lobbied Members of Parliament and Senators without registering with the Lobbying Commissioner in efforts to stop Bill S-203. Marineland's lawyer Andrew Burns registered as a lobbyist in May 2018.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ipolitics.ca/2018/05/16/marineland-adds-its-name-to-federal-lobby-registry/ |title=Marineland adds its name to federal lobby registry |work=iPolitics.ca |first=Holly |last=Lake |access-date=May 23, 2018 |archive-date=May 24, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180524004453/https://ipolitics.ca/2018/05/16/marineland-adds-its-name-to-federal-lobby-registry/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Progressive Conservatives in the Senate, led by Sen.

===Animal abuse charges and complaints===

In 2012, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals received complaints of animal abuse at the park from former employees and issued orders to Marineland as to the standard of care they should be following. At that time, a full investigation was not conducted. On November 10, 2016, however, the agency received a formal 35-page complaint—compiled by California-based group Last Chance for Animals—which included photographs and videos taken by a former Marineland employee whose identity has not been revealed to the public. ([[The Canadian Press]] obtained a copy of the complaint file which was reviewed by some members of the news media; only excerpts have been published.) At that time, the OSPCA began an investigation of possible animal abuse at the park using its staff and a veterinarian.<ref>{{cite news |author=Liam Casey, The Canadian Press |title=Marineland charged for five counts of animal cruelty in ongoing investigation |url=https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2016/12/04/marineland-charged-for-five-counts-of-animal-cruelty-in-ongoing-investigation.html |newspaper=Toronto Star |location=Toronto |date=December 4, 2016 |access-date=January 10, 2017 |archive-date=January 12, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170112174155/https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2016/12/04/marineland-charged-for-five-counts-of-animal-cruelty-in-ongoing-investigation.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

On November 25, 2016, the OSPCA charged Marineland with five counts of [[Cruelty to animals|animal cruelty]] under the Ontario SPCA Act over their treatment of [[peafowl]]s, [[guineafowl]]s, and [[American black bear]]s in the zoo portion of the park.

In October 2017, Marineland filed a lawsuit against the OSPCA, alleging that the OSPCA launched its investigation purely to harm Marineland. "It was motivated by a series of improper objectives, including a desire to accomplish its own policy agenda, to mollify the animal activist community, to please its donors, and to effectively destroy Marineland." Marineland is seeking {{CAD|21 million}} in damages.<ref name="ts-1017-10-26">{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=Marineland sues OSPCA, saying agency was out to 'destroy' theme park |url=https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/10/26/marineland-sues-ospca-saying-agency-was-out-to-destroy-theme-park.html |date=October 26, 2017 |access-date=October 31, 2017 |archive-date=October 27, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171027115432/https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/10/26/marineland-sues-ospca-saying-agency-was-out-to-destroy-theme-park.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The OSPCA responded publicly that it "vehemently denies all of the allegations and will defend itself."<ref name="ts-1017-10-26"/>

In January 2020, Ontario's Animal Welfare Services took over enforcement of anti-cruelty laws from OSPCA. Subsequently, it opened an investigation into Marineland, which is ongoing as of May 2023. Since then, Marineland has been inspected at least 160 times, but the government has so far refused to reveal any details. However, in May 2021, an affidavit obtained by [[The Canadian Press]] revealed that inspectors had issued two orders to Marineland to repair water systems in animal enclosures. Court documents also revealed that inspectors found all marine mammals in the park to be in distress. Marineland appealed the orders, denying the distress and any relation between water quality and recent deaths, but dropped the appeal a few weeks later.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |date=May 8, 2023 |title=Beluga, dolphin die at Marineland, Ontario government says |url=https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2023/05/08/beluga-dolphin-die-at-marineland-ontario-government-says.html |access-date=May 12, 2023 |website=thestar.com |language=en |archive-date=May 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512025905/https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2023/05/08/beluga-dolphin-die-at-marineland-ontario-government-says.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Province orders Marineland to fix water system after watchdog finds animals in distress {{!}} Globalnews.ca |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/8040435/marineland-water-system-animal-welfare-watchdog/ |access-date=May 12, 2023 |website=Global News |language=en-US |archive-date=May 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512030017/https://globalnews.ca/news/8040435/marineland-water-system-animal-welfare-watchdog/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Advertising==
Marineland's main advertising comes through a series of radio and television commercials with the [[jingle]] "Everyone Loves Marineland", an upbeat [[Pop music|pop]] jingle originally sung by [[Eria Fachin]] and later by Ann-Marie McDonnell and [[Suzie McNeil]].<ref>{{cite news |work=Niagara Falls Review |title=Marineland jingle McNeil's biggest hit |first=John |last=Law |url=http://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/2010/03/30/marineland-jingle-mcneils-biggest-hit |date=March 30, 2010 |access-date=August 14, 2017 |archive-date=August 15, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170815032655/http://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/2010/03/30/marineland-jingle-mcneils-biggest-hit |url-status=dead }}</ref> Marineland has also used other slogans over the years in its advertising:

*"Come to Marineland" (1980–1984)
*"Where the Fun Never Stops" (1985–1988)
*"Happiness is Marineland" (1987–1992)
*"Everyone Loves Marineland" (1993–2024)
*"A Magical Place Marineland" (1995)

'''KXXV''' (channel 25) is a [[television station]] in [[Waco, Texas]], United States, serving [[Central Texas]] as an affiliate of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. Owned by the [[E. W. Scripps Company]], the station maintains studios on South New Road in Waco, and its transmitter is located near [[Moody, Texas]]. KXXV and co-owned [[KRHD-CD]] (channel 15) in [[Bryan, Texas|Bryan]] split the market; KRHD-CD is a [[semi-satellite]] of KXXV with separate local news programming for the [[Brazos Valley]].

Waco was the largest market in the United States without three network-affiliated TV stations until KXXV began broadcasting on March 22, 1985, under the local ownership of Central Texas Broadcasting Company. Briefly the [[NBC]] affiliate in the market, KXXV switched to ABC in December 1985 when NBC returned to rival [[KCEN-TV]]. It has successively been owned by [[Shamrock Broadcasting]], [[Drewry Communications]], [[Raycom Media]], and Scripps. It has typically been a third-place station in local news coverage to its more established competitors.

==History==
Within weeks of each other in 1977, Central Texas Broadcasting Company, formed by Waco businessman Robert A. Mann, and Business Communications Inc. of [[Fort Worth]] applied to the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) for Waco's channel 25.<ref name="Waco770811">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-firm-will-request-wa/129515711/ |date=August 11, 1977 |page=11C |title=Firm Will Request Waco TV License |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175205/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-firm-will-request-wa/129515711/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Waco770817">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-broadcasting-site-ch/129515727/ |date=August 17, 1977 |page=1C |title=Broadcasting Site Chosen Near Moody |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175302/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-broadcasting-site-ch/129515727/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Mann had been approached to be part of the Fort Worth-based group but found he would not own as much of the proposed station as he wished, so he mounted his own application.<ref name="Waco860615">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-robert-mann/130463158/ |date=June 15, 1986 |pages=1E, [https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-despite-setbacks-ma/130463184/ 6E] |first=Alan |last=Nelson |title=Robert Mann |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175143/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-robert-mann/130463158/ |url-status=live }}</ref> A third company, Heart O' Texas Broadcasting Company, applied in September,<ref name="Waco770903">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-another-group-tries/129515751/ |date=September 3, 1977 |page=3A |title=Another Group Tries for Channel |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175147/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-another-group-tries/129515751/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and on December 27, they were joined by Blake-Potash Corporation.<ref name="Waco780111">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-notice-to-interested/132926263/ |date=January 11, 1978 |page=9C |title=Notice to Interested Parties |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175250/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-notice-to-interested/132926263/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The four applications were placed into [[comparative hearing]] status by the FCC on December 4, 1979,<ref name="Waco791220">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-legal-notice/129515815/ |date=December 20, 1979 |page=12D |title=Legal Notice |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175145/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-legal-notice/129515815/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and hearings concluded a year later.<ref name="Waco810107">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-channel-25-right-uns/129515828/ |date=January 7, 1981 |page=9C |title=Channel 25 Right Unsettled |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175144/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-channel-25-right-uns/129515828/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In November 1981, FCC administrative law judge Edward Kuhlmann issued an initial decision favoring Blake-Potash. However, the other three applicants lodged appeals with the commission's review board. Kuhlmann found all four applicants to be flawed in some form due to improprieties in their owners' business dealings.<ref name="Waco820528">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-stations-status-uns/129515859/ |date=May 28, 1982 |page=13 |title=Station's status unsure |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175146/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-stations-status-uns/129515859/ |url-status=live }}</ref> However, the review board's decision in July to overturn the initial finding and award Central Texas Broadcasting the permit was based on what it felt was an inaccurate assessment of claims regarding integration of ownership and management—the participation of shareholders in the operation of the proposed station. Kuhlmann had rejected the claims from Mann's group as unreasonable, but the review board found this decision unfounded.<ref name="Waco820714">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-fcc-awards-tv-licens/129515897/ |date=July 14, 1982 |page=1A |title=FCC awards TV license to Waco financier |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175644/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-fcc-awards-tv-licens/129515897/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Blake-Potash appealed this decision to the full FCC, calling Mann an "artful dodger" and alleging he made conflicting claims about his companies to the FCC and the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]]; Mann denied the claims.<ref name="Waco820819">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-competitors-challeng/129515935/ |date=August 19, 1982 |page=3B |title=Competitors challenge Channel 25 applicant |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175654/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-competitors-challeng/129515935/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Waco820820">{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-man-denies-allegatio/129515949/ |date=August 20, 1982 |page=2B |first=Brenda |last=Spears |title=Man denies allegations of competitors |newspaper=Waco Tribune-Herald |via=Newspapers.com |access-date=October 5, 2023 |archive-date=October 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007175645/https://www.newspapers.com/article/waco-tribune-herald-man-denies-allegatio/129515949/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

With the last appeals by Blake-Potash and Heart O' Texas still pending, Central Texas Broadcasting pressed forward.

The '''Honda Pilot''' is a [[mid-size crossover SUV]] with three-row seating manufactured by [[Honda]] since 2002.<ref>{{cite magazine|url= http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/08q4/2009_honda_pilot_vs._ford_flex_and_four_other_crossovers-comparison_tests |title=2009 Honda Pilot vs. Ford Flex and Four Other Crossovers - Comparison Tests |magazine=[[Car and Driver]] |access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref> Primarily aimed at the [[North America]]n market, the Pilot is the largest SUV produced by Honda. Pilots are currently manufactured in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], and the Pilot was produced in [[Alliston, Ontario]] until April 2007. The first generation Pilot was released in April 2002 as a 2003 model.<ref name=":0">{{cite news|url=http://www.autonews.com/assets/PDF/CA38821213.PDF|title=2004 Car Cutaways|newspaper=Automotive News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The Pilot shares its [[Car platform|platform]] with the [[Acura MDX]], as well as the North American market [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]] [[minivan]]. The Pilot's unibody construction and [[independent suspension]] are designed to provide handling similar to that of a car, and it has integrated perimeter frame rails to permit towing and light [[Off-roading|off-road use]].

Prior to the introduction of the Pilot, Honda marketed the compact crossover [[Honda CR-V|CR-V]] and the [[Honda Passport]] (a [[Badge engineering|rebadged]] [[Isuzu MU|Isuzu Rodeo]]). The Honda Passport that was sold between 1993 and 2002 was a truck-based design. The Pilot is Honda's largest SUV, although the 2010 [[Honda Accord Crosstour|Crosstour]] surpassed the Pilot in length.<ref>{{cite web|last=Giametta |first=Chuck |url= http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |title=2010 Car Comparison: Chevrolet Traverse v Honda Pilot v Toyota Highlander |publisher=iGuida |date=2010-03-21 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130507055459/http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |archive-date=2013-05-07 |access-date=2015-01-07}}</ref> The Pilot is now currently in its fourth generation, with multiple design changes occurring from getting bigger and resembling a truck to downsizing and becoming sleeker to now a slight mix of both.

The Pilot is sold in North America and the Middle East, while the Honda MDX (first generation Acura MDX) was marketed in Japan and Australia for several years. The second-generation Pilot was also sold in Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Latin America, and the Philippines.<ref name=":0" />

===Specifications===
[[File:2005 Honda Pilot EX-L rear 7.4.18.jpg|thumb|left|Rear view]]

The first-generation Pilot was released for sale on June 3, 2002. <ref>https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/release-a7771dd8ef5c22b67e149d004c34c71c-honda-announces-pricing-for-all-new-2003-pilot-suv</ref>
The 2003-2004 Pilots featured the J35A4 engine, an all-aluminum 3.5L V6 SOHC with VTEC, producing {{Convert|240|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|242|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque.

The 2005 Pilot received a new engine, the J35A6, which added drive-by-wire throttle and produced {{Convert|255|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|250|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Other changes included the transmission with revised 4th and 5th gear ratios providing a smoother transition between gears, along with a new fuel tank design, increasing the Pilot's driving range by over {{Convert|40|mi|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/all-new-2005-honda-pilot-features-new-more-powerful-engine|title=All-New 2005 Honda Pilot Features New, More Powerful Engine|date=September 2, 2004|website=Honda Newsroom}}</ref> All Pilots from 2003-2005 feature VTM-4, Honda's four-wheel drive system.

The Pilot received more updates starting with the 2006 model year, engines were either the J35Z1 (FWD) or the J35A9 (4WD). Both engines were rated at {{Convert|244|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|240|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque; the power reduction is because Honda used the updated SAE net power standard. This was the first time 4WD was not standard on the Pilot.

The new FWD models featured Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system, which can deactivate up to three cylinders under light load to increase fuel economy, to help control noise from the system Honda added Active Control Engine Mount System (ACM) and Active Noise Cancellation ([[Active noise control|ANC]]). Further, this version of the J35 featured updated iVTEC and the automatic transmission a shorter 1st gear ratio. With powertrain updates and the lack of VTM-4 the FWD version had improved fuel economy of 18-city/24-highway, an increase of +1/+2 mpg versus the 4WD.

All Pilots from this generation feature a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Pilot has front struts with a coil-spring, multilink rear suspension for a flat rear load floor. The front track is 66.3 in (1,684 mm) and 66.5 in (1,689 mm) at the rear. The Pilot has a 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) boat/3,500 lb (1,588 kg) trailer towing capability with the optional dealer-installed towing package.

Pilots with Honda's Variable Torque Management 4WD system (VTM-4) sent most power to the front wheels under normal driving conditions. Under acceleration or if wheel slippage is detected at the front wheels, up to 50% of power can be sent to the rear wheels. The system also features a VTM-4 lock button on the dashboard which locks the rear differential and sends 25% of the power to each rear wheel. However, the VTM-4 lock function only operates in first gear, second gear and reverse, and automatically disengages above {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}, then re-engages when the speed drops below {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

===Design===
Design of the Pilot was by Honda's Ricky Hsu through 1999, when styling was approved. The Pilot can accommodate eight passengers in three rows configured as [[stadium seating]]{{clarify|reason=What is stadium seating? The linked article mentions only stadiums, not vehicles|date=June 2024}} as a standard feature. The third row can seat three, but the limited legroom makes it suitable only for small children or adults on short trips. Similar to the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Honda Odyssey]], the rear seats can be folded into flat surfaces for larger cargo. Options include a [[DVD]] entertainment system or a [[Automotive navigation system|navigation system]] for EX-L models, but both cannot be installed simultaneously on the same car.<ref>{{cite patent|country=US|number=D460022|pubdate=2002-07-09|title=Vehicle body|assign1=[[Honda Motor Co.

Other features include [[Anti-lock brakes|ABS]]-equipped four-wheel [[disc brake]]s, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension, and 282° of outward visibility.

====2004 changes====
For the 2004 model year, Honda increased adjustability on second-row seats and added heated front seats and side mirrors to EX-L models.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2004-Honda-Pilot/expert-review/|title=2004 Honda Pilot New Car Test Drive|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

====2005 changes====
For the 2005 model year, Honda added tire pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, revised steering, and upgraded the airbags. The front passenger airbag now featured occupant-sensing deactivation.

[[File:Honda Pilot EX 4WD 2008.jpg|thumb|right|2008 Honda Pilot EX]]
Honda revised the Pilot for the 2006 model year in October 2005. Changes to the exterior included a new fascia with a different grille insert and halogen projector headlights, and tail lights with clear lenses. The EX trim level received redesigned wheels, and the original EX wheels were now found on the LX trim. For the first time, body colored door handles are introduced to the Pilot on the EX trim, and a powered [[moonroof]] is introduced to the Pilot on the EX-L trim. On the inside, side airbags were provided in the C pillar, the gauge cluster was updated and the center console featured chrome trim and redesigned storage compartments and cup holders. For the 2006 model year, Honda added Variable Cylinder Management to the two-wheel-drive models. This VCM tech proved to be problematic in some cases, which led to a class action lawsuit for Honda Motor Co.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/5323-honda-engine-misfire-class-action-lawsuit-settlement/ |title = Honda Engine Misfire Class Action Lawsuit Settlement - Top Class Actions}}</ref>

====2008 changes====
For the last model year of the generation Honda added two new trims. The VP (Value Package) replaces the LX as base trim and SE (special edition) goes in between the EX and EX-L trim.

The larger second generation Pilot was unveiled as a prototype in January 2008 at the [[North American International Auto Show#2008|North American International Auto Show]], and was released for sale on May 22, 2008<ref>https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2040166/redesigned-09-honda-pilot-keeps-08-base-price/</ref>. Assembled at [[Honda Manufacturing of Alabama]] in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], it was offered in five trims; LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and SE (2015 only).<ref>[http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/Honda/Pilot/Honda_US%20Pilot_2015.pdf 2015 Honda Pilot Brochure], Honda Motor Co., via auto-brochures.com, dated 2014, last accessed 19 November 2022</ref> All second generation Pilots used a new J35Z4 3.5-liter V6 i-VTEC engine producing {{convert|250|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} SAE net at 5700 rpm and {{convert|253|lb.ft|N·m|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4800 rpm.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://automobiles.honda.com/pilot/specifications.aspx |title=2009 Honda Pilot - Specifications - Official Honda Site |publisher=Automobiles.honda.com |access-date=2010-10-03}}</ref> EPA fuel economy is rated at {{convert|17|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} city /{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} highway with front-wheel-drive and 16 mpg city / 22 mpg highway for all-wheel-drive. Competing with the Toyota 4Runner, it became popular for its truck-like look, which was designed with influences from [[General Motors|GM's]] full-size [[Chevrolet Tahoe|Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon]]. However it was downsized for better fuel efficiency in the third generation.

Both drivetrains were equipped with five-speed [[automatic transmission|automatics]]. The second generation's wheelbase is {{convert|109.2|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, with a length of {{convert|190.9|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a width of {{convert|78.5|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a height of {{convert|72.7|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} and interior space of {{convert|153.7|cuft|m3|abbr=on}}. The redesigned headlights lost the previous generation's halogen projectors and return to standard halogen reflectors. Features included new two-position memory settings for the driver's seat, a new power tailgate, and the gear shift was relocated from the steering column to the center console between the front seats. The Touring trim included special "Touring" badging on the right side of the back door, a 120-volt power outlet, and a satellite-linked Honda navigation system.

===2011 changes===
The 2011 model year had minimal changes. The voice-activated navigation system which was previously exclusive to the Touring trim became available on the EX-L trim and rear entertainment system became standard equipment on the Touring trim.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2011-Honda-Pilot/|title=2011 Honda Pilot Information|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===2012 facelift===
[[File:2012 Honda Pilot -- 11-10-2011.jpg|thumb|left|2012 Honda Pilot EX]]

The 2012 model year introduced a redesigned front fascia, new alloy wheels, and updates to the interior along with changes to the bumper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/honda/pilot/2012/|title=2012 Honda Pilot - Overview|website=JB car pages|language=en-US|access-date=2021-02-14}}</ref>

====2013 changes====
The 2013 model year included a standard rearview [[backup camera]], i-MID central dashboard 8-inch LCD screen, [[USB connector]], [[Bluetooth]] hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming, and tri-zone climate control.

====2015 changes====
The SE (special edition) trim was added which came standard with a power moonroof, satellite radio, LED headlights(on Touring models), and rear seat entertainment system.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/pilot/2015/|title=2015 Honda Pilot Reviews - Research Pilot Prices & Specs|website=MotorTrend|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===Safety===
The Pilot uses Honda's [[Advanced Compatibility Engineering]] front bracket. For the 2013 model year a rearview [[backup camera]] was made standard. The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] (IIHS) found the Honda Pilot's driver death rate of 2 deaths per million registered among the ten lowest released in their report<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/50/1/1|title=Death rates fall as vehicles improve|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/driver-death-rates|title=Driver death rates|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The exterior is sleeker in appearance compared to its boxier predecessor with a 10 percent reduction in [[drag area]]. Added to the exterior are standard LED brake and tail lights, LED [[daytime running lights]] (DRLs) on EX trims and above, and [[LED headlamp]]s with automatic high-low beam switching the on new Elite model with special "Elite" badging. The Elite trim level also gained features that were new to the Pilot, including ventilated front seats, heated rear captain's chairs which reduced the seating capacity to seven from eight, and a panoramic roof. Alloy wheels became standard.

Newly available safety features include Honda's LaneWatch passenger-side mirror camera or [[blind spot monitoring|Blind Spot Information]] (BSI) and rear Cross Traffic Monitor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=8493-en|title=2016 Honda Pilot - Safety and Driver Assistance - Honda.com|website=news.honda.com|access-date=2018-01-11}}</ref> Additional options, including [[Forward Collision Warning]] (FCW) with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), [[Lane Departure Warning]] (LDW) with [[Lane Centering|Lane Keeping Assist System]] (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), and [[Adaptive Cruise Control]] (ACC) are available as part of the [[Lane centering#Honda Sensing/AcuraWatch|Honda Sensing]] suite. A tri-angle [[backup camera]] is standard with dynamic guidelines optional.

It went on sale on December 12, 2022<ref>https://www.piloteers.org/threads/2023-pilot-officially-revealed.178123/page-7</ref>. A DOHC (non-VTEC) 3.5-liter J35Y8 V6 engine with {{convert|285|hp|kW PS|0}} and {{cvt|262|lbft|0}} of torque now powers this generation Honda Pilot replacing the previous J35Y6 V6 engine. It is now paired to a Honda ten-speed automatic gearbox which replaces the ZF 9HP automatic gearbox. This generation of Pilot contends directly with Toyota’s 2023 Grand Highlander, becoming bigger in size while keeping the sleek body for reduced drag and weight. At launch, there were six distinct trim levels available: LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. For the 2025 model year, Honda reintroduced the Black Edition (available on the 2020-2022 Pilot) trim level to the Pilot. The Black Edition includes 20-inch black alloy wheels, black trim and emblems, red trimmed interior, red LED ambient lighting, Black Edition on seats, and more. For 2025, the LX trim has been dropped, with the Sport now being the entry-level model. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-12 |title=2023 Honda Pilot Review, Pricing, and Specs - EV LEGACY |url=https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |language=English |archive-date=December 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207134040/https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The '''Honda Pilot''' is a [[mid-size crossover SUV]] with three-row seating manufactured by [[Honda]] since 2002.<ref>{{cite magazine|url= http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/08q4/2009_honda_pilot_vs._ford_flex_and_four_other_crossovers-comparison_tests |title=2009 Honda Pilot vs. Ford Flex and Four Other Crossovers - Comparison Tests |magazine=[[Car and Driver]] |access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref> Primarily aimed at the [[North America]]n market, the Pilot is the largest SUV produced by Honda. Pilots are currently manufactured in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], and the Pilot was produced in [[Alliston, Ontario]] until April 2007. The first generation Pilot was released in April 2002 as a 2003 model.<ref name=":0">{{cite news|url=http://www.autonews.com/assets/PDF/CA38821213.PDF|title=2004 Car Cutaways|newspaper=Automotive News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The Pilot shares its [[Car platform|platform]] with the [[Acura MDX]], as well as the North American market [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]] [[minivan]]. The Pilot's unibody construction and [[independent suspension]] are designed to provide handling similar to that of a car, and it has integrated perimeter frame rails to permit towing and light [[Off-roading|off-road use]].

Prior to the introduction of the Pilot, Honda marketed the compact crossover [[Honda CR-V|CR-V]] and the [[Honda Passport]] (a [[Badge engineering|rebadged]] [[Isuzu MU|Isuzu Rodeo]]). The Honda Passport that was sold between 1993 and 2002 was a truck-based design. The Pilot is Honda's largest SUV, although the 2010 [[Honda Accord Crosstour|Crosstour]] surpassed the Pilot in length.<ref>{{cite web|last=Giametta |first=Chuck |url= http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |title=2010 Car Comparison: Chevrolet Traverse v Honda Pilot v Toyota Highlander |publisher=iGuida |date=2010-03-21 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130507055459/http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |archive-date=2013-05-07 |access-date=2015-01-07}}</ref> The Pilot is now currently in its fourth generation, with multiple design changes occurring from getting bigger and resembling a truck to downsizing and becoming sleeker to now a slight mix of both.

The Pilot is sold in North America and the Middle East, while the Honda MDX (first generation Acura MDX) was marketed in Japan and Australia for several years. The second-generation Pilot was also sold in Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Latin America, and the Philippines.<ref name=":0" />

===Specifications===
[[File:2005 Honda Pilot EX-L rear 7.4.18.jpg|thumb|left|Rear view]]

The first-generation Pilot was released for sale on June 3, 2002. <ref>https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/release-a7771dd8ef5c22b67e149d004c34c71c-honda-announces-pricing-for-all-new-2003-pilot-suv</ref>
The 2003-2004 Pilots featured the J35A4 engine, an all-aluminum 3.5L V6 SOHC with VTEC, producing {{Convert|240|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|242|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque.

The 2005 Pilot received a new engine, the J35A6, which added drive-by-wire throttle and produced {{Convert|255|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|250|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Other changes included the transmission with revised 4th and 5th gear ratios providing a smoother transition between gears, along with a new fuel tank design, increasing the Pilot's driving range by over {{Convert|40|mi|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/all-new-2005-honda-pilot-features-new-more-powerful-engine|title=All-New 2005 Honda Pilot Features New, More Powerful Engine|date=September 2, 2004|website=Honda Newsroom}}</ref> All Pilots from 2003-2005 feature VTM-4, Honda's four-wheel drive system.

The Pilot received more updates starting with the 2006 model year, engines were either the J35Z1 (FWD) or the J35A9 (4WD). Both engines were rated at {{Convert|244|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|240|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque; the power reduction is because Honda used the updated SAE net power standard. This was the first time 4WD was not standard on the Pilot.

The new FWD models featured Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system, which can deactivate up to three cylinders under light load to increase fuel economy, to help control noise from the system Honda added Active Control Engine Mount System (ACM) and Active Noise Cancellation ([[Active noise control|ANC]]). Further, this version of the J35 featured updated iVTEC and the automatic transmission a shorter 1st gear ratio. With powertrain updates and the lack of VTM-4 the FWD version had improved fuel economy of 18-city/24-highway, an increase of +1/+2 mpg versus the 4WD.

All Pilots from this generation feature a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Pilot has front struts with a coil-spring, multilink rear suspension for a flat rear load floor. The front track is 66.3 in (1,684 mm) and 66.5 in (1,689 mm) at the rear. The Pilot has a 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) boat/3,500 lb (1,588 kg) trailer towing capability with the optional dealer-installed towing package.

Pilots with Honda's Variable Torque Management 4WD system (VTM-4) sent most power to the front wheels under normal driving conditions. Under acceleration or if wheel slippage is detected at the front wheels, up to 50% of power can be sent to the rear wheels. The system also features a VTM-4 lock button on the dashboard which locks the rear differential and sends 25% of the power to each rear wheel. However, the VTM-4 lock function only operates in first gear, second gear and reverse, and automatically disengages above {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}, then re-engages when the speed drops below {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

===Design===
Design of the Pilot was by Honda's Ricky Hsu through 1999, when styling was approved. The Pilot can accommodate eight passengers in three rows configured as [[stadium seating]]{{clarify|reason=What is stadium seating? The linked article mentions only stadiums, not vehicles|date=June 2024}} as a standard feature. The third row can seat three, but the limited legroom makes it suitable only for small children or adults on short trips. Similar to the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Honda Odyssey]], the rear seats can be folded into flat surfaces for larger cargo. Options include a [[DVD]] entertainment system or a [[Automotive navigation system|navigation system]] for EX-L models, but both cannot be installed simultaneously on the same car.<ref>{{cite patent|country=US|number=D460022|pubdate=2002-07-09|title=Vehicle body|assign1=[[Honda Motor Co.

Other features include [[Anti-lock brakes|ABS]]-equipped four-wheel [[disc brake]]s, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension, and 282° of outward visibility.

====2004 changes====
For the 2004 model year, Honda increased adjustability on second-row seats and added heated front seats and side mirrors to EX-L models.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2004-Honda-Pilot/expert-review/|title=2004 Honda Pilot New Car Test Drive|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

====2005 changes====
For the 2005 model year, Honda added tire pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, revised steering, and upgraded the airbags. The front passenger airbag now featured occupant-sensing deactivation.

===2006 facelift===
[[File:Honda Pilot EX 4WD 2008.jpg|thumb|right|2008 Honda Pilot EX]]
Honda revised the Pilot for the 2006 model year in October 2005. Changes to the exterior included a new fascia with a different grille insert and halogen projector headlights, and tail lights with clear lenses. The EX trim level received redesigned wheels, and the original EX wheels were now found on the LX trim. For the first time, body colored door handles are introduced to the Pilot on the EX trim, and a powered [[moonroof]] is introduced to the Pilot on the EX-L trim. On the inside, side airbags were provided in the C pillar, the gauge cluster was updated and the center console featured chrome trim and redesigned storage compartments and cup holders. For the 2006 model year, Honda added Variable Cylinder Management to the two-wheel-drive models. This VCM tech proved to be problematic in some cases, which led to a class action lawsuit for Honda Motor Co.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/5323-honda-engine-misfire-class-action-lawsuit-settlement/ |title = Honda Engine Misfire Class Action Lawsuit Settlement - Top Class Actions}}</ref>

====2007 changes====
For the 2007 model year, Honda added Nimbus Gray Metallic, Dark Cherry Pearl, Aberdeen Green Metallic, and Formal Black as four new colors to all models.

====2008 changes====
For the last model year of the generation Honda added two new trims. The VP (Value Package) replaces the LX as base trim and SE (special edition) goes in between the EX and EX-L trim.

The larger second generation Pilot was unveiled as a prototype in January 2008 at the [[North American International Auto Show#2008|North American International Auto Show]], and was released for sale on May 22, 2008<ref>https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2040166/redesigned-09-honda-pilot-keeps-08-base-price/</ref>. Assembled at [[Honda Manufacturing of Alabama]] in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], it was offered in five trims; LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and SE (2015 only).<ref>[http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/Honda/Pilot/Honda_US%20Pilot_2015.pdf 2015 Honda Pilot Brochure], Honda Motor Co., via auto-brochures.com, dated 2014, last accessed 19 November 2022</ref> All second generation Pilots used a new J35Z4 3.5-liter V6 i-VTEC engine producing {{convert|250|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} SAE net at 5700 rpm and {{convert|253|lb.ft|N·m|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4800 rpm.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://automobiles.honda.com/pilot/specifications.aspx |title=2009 Honda Pilot - Specifications - Official Honda Site |publisher=Automobiles.honda.com |access-date=2010-10-03}}</ref> EPA fuel economy is rated at {{convert|17|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} city /{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} highway with front-wheel-drive and 16 mpg city / 22 mpg highway for all-wheel-drive. Competing with the Toyota 4Runner, it became popular for its truck-like look, which was designed with influences from [[General Motors|GM's]] full-size [[Chevrolet Tahoe|Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon]]. However it was downsized for better fuel efficiency in the third generation.

Both drivetrains were equipped with five-speed [[automatic transmission|automatics]]. The second generation's wheelbase is {{convert|109.2|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, with a length of {{convert|190.9|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a width of {{convert|78.5|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a height of {{convert|72.7|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} and interior space of {{convert|153.7|cuft|m3|abbr=on}}. The redesigned headlights lost the previous generation's halogen projectors and return to standard halogen reflectors. Features included new two-position memory settings for the driver's seat, a new power tailgate, and the gear shift was relocated from the steering column to the center console between the front seats. The Touring trim included special "Touring" badging on the right side of the back door, a 120-volt power outlet, and a satellite-linked Honda navigation system.

===2011 changes===
The 2011 model year had minimal changes. The voice-activated navigation system which was previously exclusive to the Touring trim became available on the EX-L trim and rear entertainment system became standard equipment on the Touring trim.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2011-Honda-Pilot/|title=2011 Honda Pilot Information|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===2012 facelift===
[[File:2012 Honda Pilot -- 11-10-2011.jpg|thumb|left|2012 Honda Pilot EX]]

The 2012 model year introduced a redesigned front fascia, new alloy wheels, and updates to the interior along with changes to the bumper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/honda/pilot/2012/|title=2012 Honda Pilot - Overview|website=JB car pages|language=en-US|access-date=2021-02-14}}</ref>

====2013 changes====
The 2013 model year included a standard rearview [[backup camera]], i-MID central dashboard 8-inch LCD screen, [[USB connector]], [[Bluetooth]] hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming, and tri-zone climate control.

====2015 changes====
The SE (special edition) trim was added which came standard with a power moonroof, satellite radio, LED headlights(on Touring models), and rear seat entertainment system.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/pilot/2015/|title=2015 Honda Pilot Reviews - Research Pilot Prices & Specs|website=MotorTrend|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===Safety===
The Pilot uses Honda's [[Advanced Compatibility Engineering]] front bracket. For the 2013 model year a rearview [[backup camera]] was made standard. The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] (IIHS) found the Honda Pilot's driver death rate of 2 deaths per million registered among the ten lowest released in their report<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/50/1/1|title=Death rates fall as vehicles improve|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/driver-death-rates|title=Driver death rates|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The third-generation 2016 Pilot debuted at the [[Chicago Auto Show#2015|Chicago Auto Show]] in February 2015, and production began in May. It was made available for sale on June 18, 2015<ref>https://www.freep.com/story/money/business/2015/05/21/honda-pilot-production-suv-crossover-lincoln-alabama/27704919/</ref>.

The exterior is sleeker in appearance compared to its boxier predecessor with a 10 percent reduction in [[drag area]]. Added to the exterior are standard LED brake and tail lights, LED [[daytime running lights]] (DRLs) on EX trims and above, and [[LED headlamp]]s with automatic high-low beam switching the on new Elite model with special "Elite" badging. The Elite trim level also gained features that were new to the Pilot, including ventilated front seats, heated rear captain's chairs which reduced the seating capacity to seven from eight, and a panoramic roof. Alloy wheels became standard.

Newly available safety features include Honda's LaneWatch passenger-side mirror camera or [[blind spot monitoring|Blind Spot Information]] (BSI) and rear Cross Traffic Monitor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=8493-en|title=2016 Honda Pilot - Safety and Driver Assistance - Honda.com|website=news.honda.com|access-date=2018-01-11}}</ref> Additional options, including [[Forward Collision Warning]] (FCW) with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), [[Lane Departure Warning]] (LDW) with [[Lane Centering|Lane Keeping Assist System]] (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), and [[Adaptive Cruise Control]] (ACC) are available as part of the [[Lane centering#Honda Sensing/AcuraWatch|Honda Sensing]] suite. A tri-angle [[backup camera]] is standard with dynamic guidelines optional.

The revised 3.5-liter V6 engine has [[gasoline direct injection|direct-injection]] and a [[start-stop system]] (on the Touring and Elite trims) with improved power at {{convert|280|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}, a 6-speed automatic is standard on the LX, EX, and EX-L trims while a [[ZF Friedrichshafen|ZF]] 9-speed automatic is standard on the Touring and Elite trims. With all-wheel drive models the amount of engine torque sent to each rear wheel is variable. EPA-estimated fuel economy is improved with [[front-wheel drive]] (FWD) 6-speed models registering {{convert|19|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|22|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}, and [[all-wheel drive]] (AWD) models registering {{convert|18|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|26|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|21|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} (city/highway/combined). 9-speed models see fuel economy of {{convert|20|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} mpg in FWD configuration and {{convert|19|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|26|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|22|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} (city/highway/combined) in AWD configuration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fueleconomy.gov/ |title=Honda Pilot Fuel Economy |publisher=FuelEconomy.gov |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150708093450/http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ |archive-date=July 8, 2015 }}</ref>

Though overall dimensions are smaller, the interior becomes more spacious modelled after the Odyssey, and weight is down approximately {{convert|300|lb|kg|abbr=on}} with [[noise, vibration, and harshness]] (NVH) reduced. Structurally 21.3% of the Pilot's body is composed of 980, 1300 and 1,500 [[MPa]] ultra-high-[[yield strength|strength]] steels, 5% is from aluminum or magnesium, an additional 34.5% is 270 MPa mild strength steel used in areas to minimize repair costs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2015/06/17/2016-honda-pilot-only-38-5-mild-steel-has-very-specific-repair-dos-and-donts/|title=2016 Honda Pilot only 34.5% mild steel, has very specific repair dos and don'ts|publisher=Repairer Driven News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://automobiles.honda.com:443/|title=Shop Current & Upcoming Vehicles {{!}} Honda|website=Honda Automobiles|language=en|access-date=2019-12-20}}</ref>

For the 2019 model year, Honda has refreshed the Pilot inside and out. The powertrain for the Pilot has remained unchanged, but Honda did revise the nine-speed transmission and [[start-stop system]] that are only found on the Touring and Elite trims. The exterior now featured new bumpers, grille, wheels, standard LED headlights, and revised tail lights. A hands-free tailgate is now available. In the interior, the gauge cluster is replaced with a new one, similar to the one found on the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]].

It is now paired to a Honda ten-speed automatic gearbox which replaces the ZF 9HP automatic gearbox. This generation of Pilot contends directly with Toyota’s 2023 Grand Highlander, becoming bigger in size while keeping the sleek body for reduced drag and weight. At launch, there were six distinct trim levels available: LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. For the 2025 model year, Honda reintroduced the Black Edition (available on the 2020-2022 Pilot) trim level to the Pilot. The Black Edition includes 20-inch black alloy wheels, black trim and emblems, red trimmed interior, red LED ambient lighting, Black Edition on seats, and more. For 2025, the LX trim has been dropped, with the Sport now being the entry-level model. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-12 |title=2023 Honda Pilot Review, Pricing, and Specs - EV LEGACY |url=https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |language=English |archive-date=December 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207134040/https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The '''Honda Pilot''' is a [[mid-size crossover SUV]] with three-row seating manufactured by [[Honda]] since 2002.<ref>{{cite magazine|url= http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/08q4/2009_honda_pilot_vs._ford_flex_and_four_other_crossovers-comparison_tests |title=2009 Honda Pilot vs. Ford Flex and Four Other Crossovers - Comparison Tests |magazine=[[Car and Driver]] |access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref> Primarily aimed at the [[North America]]n market, the Pilot is the largest SUV produced by Honda. Pilots are currently manufactured in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], and the Pilot was produced in [[Alliston, Ontario]] until April 2007. The first generation Pilot was released in April 2002 as a 2003 model.<ref name=":0">{{cite news|url=http://www.autonews.com/assets/PDF/CA38821213.PDF|title=2004 Car Cutaways|newspaper=Automotive News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The Pilot shares its [[Car platform|platform]] with the [[Acura MDX]], as well as the North American market [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]] [[minivan]]. The Pilot's unibody construction and [[independent suspension]] are designed to provide handling similar to that of a car, and it has integrated perimeter frame rails to permit towing and light [[Off-roading|off-road use]].

Prior to the introduction of the Pilot, Honda marketed the compact crossover [[Honda CR-V|CR-V]] and the [[Honda Passport]] (a [[Badge engineering|rebadged]] [[Isuzu MU|Isuzu Rodeo]]). The Honda Passport that was sold between 1993 and 2002 was a truck-based design. The Pilot is Honda's largest SUV, although the 2010 [[Honda Accord Crosstour|Crosstour]] surpassed the Pilot in length.<ref>{{cite web|last=Giametta |first=Chuck |url= http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |title=2010 Car Comparison: Chevrolet Traverse v Honda Pilot v Toyota Highlander |publisher=iGuida |date=2010-03-21 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130507055459/http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |archive-date=2013-05-07 |access-date=2015-01-07}}</ref> The Pilot is now currently in its fourth generation, with multiple design changes occurring from getting bigger and resembling a truck to downsizing and becoming sleeker to now a slight mix of both.

The Pilot is sold in North America and the Middle East, while the Honda MDX (first generation Acura MDX) was marketed in Japan and Australia for several years. The second-generation Pilot was also sold in Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Latin America, and the Philippines.<ref name=":0" />

===Specifications===
[[File:2005 Honda Pilot EX-L rear 7.4.18.jpg|thumb|left|Rear view]]

The first-generation Pilot was released for sale on June 3, 2002. <ref>https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/release-a7771dd8ef5c22b67e149d004c34c71c-honda-announces-pricing-for-all-new-2003-pilot-suv</ref>
The 2003-2004 Pilots featured the J35A4 engine, an all-aluminum 3.5L V6 SOHC with VTEC, producing {{Convert|240|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|242|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque.

The 2005 Pilot received a new engine, the J35A6, which added drive-by-wire throttle and produced {{Convert|255|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|250|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Other changes included the transmission with revised 4th and 5th gear ratios providing a smoother transition between gears, along with a new fuel tank design, increasing the Pilot's driving range by over {{Convert|40|mi|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/all-new-2005-honda-pilot-features-new-more-powerful-engine|title=All-New 2005 Honda Pilot Features New, More Powerful Engine|date=September 2, 2004|website=Honda Newsroom}}</ref> All Pilots from 2003-2005 feature VTM-4, Honda's four-wheel drive system.

The Pilot received more updates starting with the 2006 model year, engines were either the J35Z1 (FWD) or the J35A9 (4WD). Both engines were rated at {{Convert|244|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|240|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque; the power reduction is because Honda used the updated SAE net power standard. This was the first time 4WD was not standard on the Pilot.

The new FWD models featured Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system, which can deactivate up to three cylinders under light load to increase fuel economy, to help control noise from the system Honda added Active Control Engine Mount System (ACM) and Active Noise Cancellation ([[Active noise control|ANC]]). Further, this version of the J35 featured updated iVTEC and the automatic transmission a shorter 1st gear ratio. With powertrain updates and the lack of VTM-4 the FWD version had improved fuel economy of 18-city/24-highway, an increase of +1/+2 mpg versus the 4WD.

All Pilots from this generation feature a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Pilot has front struts with a coil-spring, multilink rear suspension for a flat rear load floor. The front track is 66.3 in (1,684 mm) and 66.5 in (1,689 mm) at the rear. The Pilot has a 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) boat/3,500 lb (1,588 kg) trailer towing capability with the optional dealer-installed towing package.

Pilots with Honda's Variable Torque Management 4WD system (VTM-4) sent most power to the front wheels under normal driving conditions. Under acceleration or if wheel slippage is detected at the front wheels, up to 50% of power can be sent to the rear wheels. The system also features a VTM-4 lock button on the dashboard which locks the rear differential and sends 25% of the power to each rear wheel. However, the VTM-4 lock function only operates in first gear, second gear and reverse, and automatically disengages above {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}, then re-engages when the speed drops below {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

===Design===
Design of the Pilot was by Honda's Ricky Hsu through 1999, when styling was approved. The Pilot can accommodate eight passengers in three rows configured as [[stadium seating]]{{clarify|reason=What is stadium seating? The linked article mentions only stadiums, not vehicles|date=June 2024}} as a standard feature. The third row can seat three, but the limited legroom makes it suitable only for small children or adults on short trips. Similar to the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Honda Odyssey]], the rear seats can be folded into flat surfaces for larger cargo. Options include a [[DVD]] entertainment system or a [[Automotive navigation system|navigation system]] for EX-L models, but both cannot be installed simultaneously on the same car.<ref>{{cite patent|country=US|number=D460022|pubdate=2002-07-09|title=Vehicle body|assign1=[[Honda Motor Co.

Other features include [[Anti-lock brakes|ABS]]-equipped four-wheel [[disc brake]]s, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension, and 282° of outward visibility.

====2004 changes====
For the 2004 model year, Honda increased adjustability on second-row seats and added heated front seats and side mirrors to EX-L models.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2004-Honda-Pilot/expert-review/|title=2004 Honda Pilot New Car Test Drive|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

====2005 changes====
For the 2005 model year, Honda added tire pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, revised steering, and upgraded the airbags. The front passenger airbag now featured occupant-sensing deactivation.

===2006 facelift===
[[File:Honda Pilot EX 4WD 2008.jpg|thumb|right|2008 Honda Pilot EX]]
Honda revised the Pilot for the 2006 model year in October 2005. Changes to the exterior included a new fascia with a different grille insert and halogen projector headlights, and tail lights with clear lenses. The EX trim level received redesigned wheels, and the original EX wheels were now found on the LX trim. For the first time, body colored door handles are introduced to the Pilot on the EX trim, and a powered [[moonroof]] is introduced to the Pilot on the EX-L trim. On the inside, side airbags were provided in the C pillar, the gauge cluster was updated and the center console featured chrome trim and redesigned storage compartments and cup holders. For the 2006 model year, Honda added Variable Cylinder Management to the two-wheel-drive models. This VCM tech proved to be problematic in some cases, which led to a class action lawsuit for Honda Motor Co.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/5323-honda-engine-misfire-class-action-lawsuit-settlement/ |title = Honda Engine Misfire Class Action Lawsuit Settlement - Top Class Actions}}</ref>

====2007 changes====

The larger second generation Pilot was unveiled as a prototype in January 2008 at the [[North American International Auto Show#2008|North American International Auto Show]], and was released for sale on May 22, 2008<ref>https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2040166/redesigned-09-honda-pilot-keeps-08-base-price/</ref>. Assembled at [[Honda Manufacturing of Alabama]] in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], it was offered in five trims; LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and SE (2015 only).<ref>[http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/Honda/Pilot/Honda_US%20Pilot_2015.pdf 2015 Honda Pilot Brochure], Honda Motor Co., via auto-brochures.com, dated 2014, last accessed 19 November 2022</ref> All second generation Pilots used a new J35Z4 3.5-liter V6 i-VTEC engine producing {{convert|250|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} SAE net at 5700 rpm and {{convert|253|lb.ft|N·m|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4800 rpm.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://automobiles.honda.com/pilot/specifications.aspx |title=2009 Honda Pilot - Specifications - Official Honda Site |publisher=Automobiles.honda.com |access-date=2010-10-03}}</ref> EPA fuel economy is rated at {{convert|17|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} city /{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} highway with front-wheel-drive and 16 mpg city / 22 mpg highway for all-wheel-drive. Competing with the Toyota 4Runner, it became popular for its truck-like look, which was designed with influences from [[General Motors|GM's]] full-size [[Chevrolet Tahoe|Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon]]. However it was downsized for better fuel efficiency in the third generation.

Both drivetrains were equipped with five-speed [[automatic transmission|automatics]]. The second generation's wheelbase is {{convert|109.2|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, with a length of {{convert|190.9|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a width of {{convert|78.5|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a height of {{convert|72.7|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} and interior space of {{convert|153.7|cuft|m3|abbr=on}}. The redesigned headlights lost the previous generation's halogen projectors and return to standard halogen reflectors. Features included new two-position memory settings for the driver's seat, a new power tailgate, and the gear shift was relocated from the steering column to the center console between the front seats. The Touring trim included special "Touring" badging on the right side of the back door, a 120-volt power outlet, and a satellite-linked Honda navigation system.

===2011 changes===
The 2011 model year had minimal changes. The voice-activated navigation system which was previously exclusive to the Touring trim became available on the EX-L trim and rear entertainment system became standard equipment on the Touring trim.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2011-Honda-Pilot/|title=2011 Honda Pilot Information|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===2012 facelift===
[[File:2012 Honda Pilot -- 11-10-2011.jpg|thumb|left|2012 Honda Pilot EX]]

The 2012 model year introduced a redesigned front fascia, new alloy wheels, and updates to the interior along with changes to the bumper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/honda/pilot/2012/|title=2012 Honda Pilot - Overview|website=JB car pages|language=en-US|access-date=2021-02-14}}</ref>

====2013 changes====
The 2013 model year included a standard rearview [[backup camera]], i-MID central dashboard 8-inch LCD screen, [[USB connector]], [[Bluetooth]] hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming, and tri-zone climate control.

====2015 changes====
The SE (special edition) trim was added which came standard with a power moonroof, satellite radio, LED headlights(on Touring models), and rear seat entertainment system.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/pilot/2015/|title=2015 Honda Pilot Reviews - Research Pilot Prices & Specs|website=MotorTrend|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===Safety===
The Pilot uses Honda's [[Advanced Compatibility Engineering]] front bracket. For the 2013 model year a rearview [[backup camera]] was made standard. The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] (IIHS) found the Honda Pilot's driver death rate of 2 deaths per million registered among the ten lowest released in their report<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/50/1/1|title=Death rates fall as vehicles improve|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/driver-death-rates|title=Driver death rates|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The third-generation 2016 Pilot debuted at the [[Chicago Auto Show#2015|Chicago Auto Show]] in February 2015, and production began in May. It was made available for sale in June.

The exterior is sleeker in appearance compared to its boxier predecessor with a 10 percent reduction in [[drag area]]. Added to the exterior are standard LED brake and tail lights, LED [[daytime running lights]] (DRLs) on EX trims and above, and [[LED headlamp]]s with automatic high-low beam switching the on new Elite model with special "Elite" badging. The Elite trim level also gained features that were new to the Pilot, including ventilated front seats, heated rear captain's chairs which reduced the seating capacity to seven from eight, and a panoramic roof. Alloy wheels became standard.

Newly available safety features include Honda's LaneWatch passenger-side mirror camera or [[blind spot monitoring|Blind Spot Information]] (BSI) and rear Cross Traffic Monitor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=8493-en|title=2016 Honda Pilot - Safety and Driver Assistance - Honda.com|website=news.honda.com|access-date=2018-01-11}}</ref> Additional options, including [[Forward Collision Warning]] (FCW) with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), [[Lane Departure Warning]] (LDW) with [[Lane Centering|Lane Keeping Assist System]] (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), and [[Adaptive Cruise Control]] (ACC) are available as part of the [[Lane centering#Honda Sensing/AcuraWatch|Honda Sensing]] suite. A tri-angle [[backup camera]] is standard with dynamic guidelines optional.

The revised 3.5-liter V6 engine has [[gasoline direct injection|direct-injection]] and a [[start-stop system]] (on the Touring and Elite trims) with improved power at {{convert|280|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}, a 6-speed automatic is standard on the LX, EX, and EX-L trims while a [[ZF Friedrichshafen|ZF]] 9-speed automatic is standard on the Touring and Elite trims. With all-wheel drive models the amount of engine torque sent to each rear wheel is variable. EPA-estimated fuel economy is improved with [[front-wheel drive]] (FWD) 6-speed models registering {{convert|19|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|22|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}, and [[all-wheel drive]] (AWD) models registering {{convert|18|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|26|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|21|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} (city/highway/combined). 9-speed models see fuel economy of {{convert|20|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} mpg in FWD configuration and {{convert|19|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|26|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|22|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} (city/highway/combined) in AWD configuration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fueleconomy.gov/ |title=Honda Pilot Fuel Economy |publisher=FuelEconomy.gov |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150708093450/http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ |archive-date=July 8, 2015 }}</ref>

Though overall dimensions are smaller, the interior becomes more spacious modelled after the Odyssey, and weight is down approximately {{convert|300|lb|kg|abbr=on}} with [[noise, vibration, and harshness]] (NVH) reduced. Structurally 21.3% of the Pilot's body is composed of 980, 1300 and 1,500 [[MPa]] ultra-high-[[yield strength|strength]] steels, 5% is from aluminum or magnesium, an additional 34.5% is 270 MPa mild strength steel used in areas to minimize repair costs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2015/06/17/2016-honda-pilot-only-38-5-mild-steel-has-very-specific-repair-dos-and-donts/|title=2016 Honda Pilot only 34.5% mild steel, has very specific repair dos and don'ts|publisher=Repairer Driven News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://automobiles.honda.com:443/|title=Shop Current & Upcoming Vehicles {{!}} Honda|website=Honda Automobiles|language=en|access-date=2019-12-20}}</ref>

For the 2019 model year, Honda has refreshed the Pilot inside and out. The powertrain for the Pilot has remained unchanged, but Honda did revise the nine-speed transmission and [[start-stop system]] that are only found on the Touring and Elite trims. The exterior now featured new bumpers, grille, wheels, standard LED headlights, and revised tail lights. A hands-free tailgate is now available. In the interior, the gauge cluster is replaced with a new one, similar to the one found on the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]]. The infotainment system is updated with the latest HondaLink software and it also features the CabinControl app (also found in the Odyssey). 4G LTE hotspot, CabinTalk, and a new rear entertainment system are now available. The volume slider has also been replaced with a volume knob. Honda has replaced the steering wheel with a new design, also from the Odyssey. [[Lane centering#Honda Sensing/AcuraWatch|Honda Sensing]] is now standard on all trim levels for the Pilot.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2019-honda-pilot-suv-preview/|title=2019 Honda Pilot leans on family-friendly tech from Odyssey|website=CNET}}</ref>

It is now paired to a Honda ten-speed automatic gearbox which replaces the ZF 9HP automatic gearbox. This generation of Pilot contends directly with Toyota’s 2023 Grand Highlander, becoming bigger in size while keeping the sleek body for reduced drag and weight. At launch, there were six distinct trim levels available: LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. For the 2025 model year, Honda reintroduced the Black Edition (available on the 2020-2022 Pilot) trim level to the Pilot. The Black Edition includes 20-inch black alloy wheels, black trim and emblems, red trimmed interior, red LED ambient lighting, Black Edition on seats, and more. For 2025, the LX trim has been dropped, with the Sport now being the entry-level model. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-12 |title=2023 Honda Pilot Review, Pricing, and Specs - EV LEGACY |url=https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |language=English |archive-date=December 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207134040/https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The '''Honda Pilot''' is a [[mid-size crossover SUV]] with three-row seating manufactured by [[Honda]] since 2002.<ref>{{cite magazine|url= http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/08q4/2009_honda_pilot_vs._ford_flex_and_four_other_crossovers-comparison_tests |title=2009 Honda Pilot vs. Ford Flex and Four Other Crossovers - Comparison Tests |magazine=[[Car and Driver]] |access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref> Primarily aimed at the [[North America]]n market, the Pilot is the largest SUV produced by Honda. Pilots are currently manufactured in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], and the Pilot was produced in [[Alliston, Ontario]] until April 2007. The first generation Pilot was released in April 2002 as a 2003 model.<ref name=":0">{{cite news|url=http://www.autonews.com/assets/PDF/CA38821213.PDF|title=2004 Car Cutaways|newspaper=Automotive News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The Pilot shares its [[Car platform|platform]] with the [[Acura MDX]], as well as the North American market [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]] [[minivan]]. The Pilot's unibody construction and [[independent suspension]] are designed to provide handling similar to that of a car, and it has integrated perimeter frame rails to permit towing and light [[Off-roading|off-road use]].

Prior to the introduction of the Pilot, Honda marketed the compact crossover [[Honda CR-V|CR-V]] and the [[Honda Passport]] (a [[Badge engineering|rebadged]] [[Isuzu MU|Isuzu Rodeo]]). The Honda Passport that was sold between 1993 and 2002 was a truck-based design. The Pilot is Honda's largest SUV, although the 2010 [[Honda Accord Crosstour|Crosstour]] surpassed the Pilot in length.<ref>{{cite web|last=Giametta |first=Chuck |url= http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |title=2010 Car Comparison: Chevrolet Traverse v Honda Pilot v Toyota Highlander |publisher=iGuida |date=2010-03-21 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130507055459/http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |archive-date=2013-05-07 |access-date=2015-01-07}}</ref> The Pilot is now currently in its fourth generation, with multiple design changes occurring from getting bigger and resembling a truck to downsizing and becoming sleeker to now a slight mix of both.

The Pilot is sold in North America and the Middle East, while the Honda MDX (first generation Acura MDX) was marketed in Japan and Australia for several years. The second-generation Pilot was also sold in Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Latin America, and the Philippines.<ref name=":0" />

===Specifications===
[[File:2005 Honda Pilot EX-L rear 7.4.18.jpg|thumb|left|Rear view]]

The first-generation Pilot was released for sale on June 3, 2002. <ref>https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/release-a7771dd8ef5c22b67e149d004c34c71c-honda-announces-pricing-for-all-new-2003-pilot-suv</ref>
The 2003-2004 Pilots featured the J35A4 engine, an all-aluminum 3.5L V6 SOHC with VTEC, producing {{Convert|240|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|242|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque.

The 2005 Pilot received a new engine, the J35A6, which added drive-by-wire throttle and produced {{Convert|255|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|250|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Other changes included the transmission with revised 4th and 5th gear ratios providing a smoother transition between gears, along with a new fuel tank design, increasing the Pilot's driving range by over {{Convert|40|mi|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/all-new-2005-honda-pilot-features-new-more-powerful-engine|title=All-New 2005 Honda Pilot Features New, More Powerful Engine|date=September 2, 2004|website=Honda Newsroom}}</ref> All Pilots from 2003-2005 feature VTM-4, Honda's four-wheel drive system.

The Pilot received more updates starting with the 2006 model year, engines were either the J35Z1 (FWD) or the J35A9 (4WD). Both engines were rated at {{Convert|244|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|240|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque; the power reduction is because Honda used the updated SAE net power standard. This was the first time 4WD was not standard on the Pilot.

The new FWD models featured Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system, which can deactivate up to three cylinders under light load to increase fuel economy, to help control noise from the system Honda added Active Control Engine Mount System (ACM) and Active Noise Cancellation ([[Active noise control|ANC]]). Further, this version of the J35 featured updated iVTEC and the automatic transmission a shorter 1st gear ratio. With powertrain updates and the lack of VTM-4 the FWD version had improved fuel economy of 18-city/24-highway, an increase of +1/+2 mpg versus the 4WD.

All Pilots from this generation feature a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Pilot has front struts with a coil-spring, multilink rear suspension for a flat rear load floor. The front track is 66.3 in (1,684 mm) and 66.5 in (1,689 mm) at the rear. The Pilot has a 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) boat/3,500 lb (1,588 kg) trailer towing capability with the optional dealer-installed towing package.

Pilots with Honda's Variable Torque Management 4WD system (VTM-4) sent most power to the front wheels under normal driving conditions. Under acceleration or if wheel slippage is detected at the front wheels, up to 50% of power can be sent to the rear wheels. The system also features a VTM-4 lock button on the dashboard which locks the rear differential and sends 25% of the power to each rear wheel. However, the VTM-4 lock function only operates in first gear, second gear and reverse, and automatically disengages above {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}, then re-engages when the speed drops below {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

===Design===
Design of the Pilot was by Honda's Ricky Hsu through 1999, when styling was approved. The Pilot can accommodate eight passengers in three rows configured as [[stadium seating]]{{clarify|reason=What is stadium seating? The linked article mentions only stadiums, not vehicles|date=June 2024}} as a standard feature. The third row can seat three, but the limited legroom makes it suitable only for small children or adults on short trips. Similar to the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Honda Odyssey]], the rear seats can be folded into flat surfaces for larger cargo. Options include a [[DVD]] entertainment system or a [[Automotive navigation system|navigation system]] for EX-L models, but both cannot be installed simultaneously on the same car.<ref>{{cite patent|country=US|number=D460022|pubdate=2002-07-09|title=Vehicle body|assign1=[[Honda Motor Co. Ltd.]]|inventor1-last=Hsu|inventor1-first=Ricky|inventor2-last=Oda|inventor2-first=Tatsuya}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |url=http://world.honda.com/news/2001/c011213_1.html |title=All-New Honda Pilot Sport-Utility Vehicle Set to Debut Next Year Pre-Production Model to be Shown at NAIAS |date=2001-12-13 |work=honda.com |access-date=2015-11-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304091813/http://world.honda.com/news/2001/c011213_1.html |archive-date=2016-03-04 }}</ref>

Other features include [[Anti-lock brakes|ABS]]-equipped four-wheel [[disc brake]]s, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension, and 282° of outward visibility.

====2004 changes====
For the 2004 model year, Honda increased adjustability on second-row seats and added heated front seats and side mirrors to EX-L models.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2004-Honda-Pilot/expert-review/|title=2004 Honda Pilot New Car Test Drive|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

====2005 changes====
For the 2005 model year, Honda added tire pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, revised steering, and upgraded the airbags. The front passenger airbag now featured occupant-sensing deactivation.

===2006 facelift===
[[File:Honda Pilot EX 4WD 2008.jpg|thumb|right|2008 Honda Pilot EX]]
Honda revised the Pilot for the 2006 model year in October 2005. Changes to the exterior included a new fascia with a different grille insert and halogen projector headlights, and tail lights with clear lenses. The EX trim level received redesigned wheels, and the original EX wheels were now found on the LX trim. For the first time, body colored door handles are introduced to the Pilot on the EX trim, and a powered [[moonroof]] is introduced to the Pilot on the EX-L trim. On the inside, side airbags were provided in the C pillar, the gauge cluster was updated and the center console featured chrome trim and redesigned storage compartments and cup holders. For the 2006 model year, Honda added Variable Cylinder Management to the two-wheel-drive models. This VCM tech proved to be problematic in some cases, which led to a class action lawsuit for Honda Motor Co.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/5323-honda-engine-misfire-class-action-lawsuit-settlement/ |title = Honda Engine Misfire Class Action Lawsuit Settlement - Top Class Actions}}</ref>

====2007 changes====
For the 2007 model year, Honda added Nimbus Gray Metallic, Dark Cherry Pearl, Aberdeen Green Metallic, and Formal Black as four new colors to all models.

====2008 changes====
For the last model year of the generation Honda added two new trims. The VP (Value Package) replaces the LX as base trim and SE (special edition) goes in between the EX and EX-L trim.

[[File:Honda Pilot EXL 2009 (rear).jpg|thumb|left|Rear view]]
The larger second generation Pilot was unveiled as a prototype in January 2008 at the [[North American International Auto Show#2008|North American International Auto Show]]. Assembled at [[Honda Manufacturing of Alabama]] in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], it was offered in five trims; LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and SE (2015 only).<ref>[http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/Honda/Pilot/Honda_US%20Pilot_2015.pdf 2015 Honda Pilot Brochure], Honda Motor Co., via auto-brochures.com, dated 2014, last accessed 19 November 2022</ref> All second generation Pilots used a new J35Z4 3.5-liter V6 i-VTEC engine producing {{convert|250|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} SAE net at 5700 rpm and {{convert|253|lb.ft|N·m|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4800 rpm.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://automobiles.honda.com/pilot/specifications.aspx |title=2009 Honda Pilot - Specifications - Official Honda Site |publisher=Automobiles.honda.com |access-date=2010-10-03}}</ref> EPA fuel economy is rated at {{convert|17|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} city /{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} highway with front-wheel-drive and 16 mpg city / 22 mpg highway for all-wheel-drive. Competing with the Toyota 4Runner, it became popular for its truck-like look, which was designed with influences from [[General Motors|GM's]] full-size [[Chevrolet Tahoe|Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon]]. However it was downsized for better fuel efficiency in the third generation.

Both drivetrains were equipped with five-speed [[automatic transmission|automatics]]. The second generation's wheelbase is {{convert|109.2|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, with a length of {{convert|190.9|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a width of {{convert|78.5|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a height of {{convert|72.7|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} and interior space of {{convert|153.7|cuft|m3|abbr=on}}. The redesigned headlights lost the previous generation's halogen projectors and return to standard halogen reflectors. Features included new two-position memory settings for the driver's seat, a new power tailgate, and the gear shift was relocated from the steering column to the center console between the front seats. The Touring trim included special "Touring" badging on the right side of the back door, a 120-volt power outlet, and a satellite-linked Honda navigation system.

===2011 changes===
The 2011 model year had minimal changes. The voice-activated navigation system which was previously exclusive to the Touring trim became available on the EX-L trim and rear entertainment system became standard equipment on the Touring trim.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2011-Honda-Pilot/|title=2011 Honda Pilot Information|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===2012 facelift===
[[File:2012 Honda Pilot -- 11-10-2011.jpg|thumb|left|2012 Honda Pilot EX]]

The 2012 model year introduced a redesigned front fascia, new alloy wheels, and updates to the interior along with changes to the bumper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/honda/pilot/2012/|title=2012 Honda Pilot - Overview|website=JB car pages|language=en-US|access-date=2021-02-14}}</ref>

====2013 changes====
The 2013 model year included a standard rearview [[backup camera]], i-MID central dashboard 8-inch LCD screen, [[USB connector]], [[Bluetooth]] hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming, and tri-zone climate control.

====2015 changes====
The SE (special edition) trim was added which came standard with a power moonroof, satellite radio, LED headlights(on Touring models), and rear seat entertainment system.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/pilot/2015/|title=2015 Honda Pilot Reviews - Research Pilot Prices & Specs|website=MotorTrend|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===Safety===
The Pilot uses Honda's [[Advanced Compatibility Engineering]] front bracket. For the 2013 model year a rearview [[backup camera]] was made standard. The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] (IIHS) found the Honda Pilot's driver death rate of 2 deaths per million registered among the ten lowest released in their report<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/50/1/1|title=Death rates fall as vehicles improve|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/driver-death-rates|title=Driver death rates|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The third-generation 2016 Pilot debuted at the [[Chicago Auto Show#2015|Chicago Auto Show]] in February 2015, and production began in May. It was made available for sale in June.

The exterior is sleeker in appearance compared to its boxier predecessor with a 10 percent reduction in [[drag area]]. Added to the exterior are standard LED brake and tail lights, LED [[daytime running lights]] (DRLs) on EX trims and above, and [[LED headlamp]]s with automatic high-low beam switching the on new Elite model with special "Elite" badging. The Elite trim level also gained features that were new to the Pilot, including ventilated front seats, heated rear captain's chairs which reduced the seating capacity to seven from eight, and a panoramic roof. Alloy wheels became standard.

Newly available safety features include Honda's LaneWatch passenger-side mirror camera or [[blind spot monitoring|Blind Spot Information]] (BSI) and rear Cross Traffic Monitor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=8493-en|title=2016 Honda Pilot - Safety and Driver Assistance - Honda.com|website=news.honda.com|access-date=2018-01-11}}</ref> Additional options, including [[Forward Collision Warning]] (FCW) with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), [[Lane Departure Warning]] (LDW) with [[Lane Centering|Lane Keeping Assist System]] (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), and [[Adaptive Cruise Control]] (ACC) are available as part of the [[Lane centering#Honda Sensing/AcuraWatch|Honda Sensing]] suite. A tri-angle [[backup camera]] is standard with dynamic guidelines optional.

The revised 3.5-liter V6 engine has [[gasoline direct injection|direct-injection]] and a [[start-stop system]] (on the Touring and Elite trims) with improved power at {{convert|280|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}, a 6-speed automatic is standard on the LX, EX, and EX-L trims while a [[ZF Friedrichshafen|ZF]] 9-speed automatic is standard on the Touring and Elite trims. With all-wheel drive models the amount of engine torque sent to each rear wheel is variable. EPA-estimated fuel economy is improved with [[front-wheel drive]] (FWD) 6-speed models registering {{convert|19|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|22|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}, and [[all-wheel drive]] (AWD) models registering {{convert|18|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|26|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|21|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} (city/highway/combined). 9-speed models see fuel economy of {{convert|20|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} mpg in FWD configuration and {{convert|19|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|26|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|22|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} (city/highway/combined) in AWD configuration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fueleconomy.gov/ |title=Honda Pilot Fuel Economy |publisher=FuelEconomy.gov |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150708093450/http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ |archive-date=July 8, 2015 }}</ref>

Though overall dimensions are smaller, the interior becomes more spacious modelled after the Odyssey, and weight is down approximately {{convert|300|lb|kg|abbr=on}} with [[noise, vibration, and harshness]] (NVH) reduced. Structurally 21.3% of the Pilot's body is composed of 980, 1300 and 1,500 [[MPa]] ultra-high-[[yield strength|strength]] steels, 5% is from aluminum or magnesium, an additional 34.5% is 270 MPa mild strength steel used in areas to minimize repair costs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2015/06/17/2016-honda-pilot-only-38-5-mild-steel-has-very-specific-repair-dos-and-donts/|title=2016 Honda Pilot only 34.5% mild steel, has very specific repair dos and don'ts|publisher=Repairer Driven News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://automobiles.honda.com:443/|title=Shop Current & Upcoming Vehicles {{!}} Honda|website=Honda Automobiles|language=en|access-date=2019-12-20}}</ref>

For the 2019 model year, Honda has refreshed the Pilot inside and out. The powertrain for the Pilot has remained unchanged, but Honda did revise the nine-speed transmission and [[start-stop system]] that are only found on the Touring and Elite trims. The exterior now featured new bumpers, grille, wheels, standard LED headlights, and revised tail lights. A hands-free tailgate is now available. In the interior, the gauge cluster is replaced with a new one, similar to the one found on the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]]. The infotainment system is updated with the latest HondaLink software and it also features the CabinControl app (also found in the Odyssey). 4G LTE hotspot, CabinTalk, and a new rear entertainment system are now available. The volume slider has also been replaced with a volume knob. Honda has replaced the steering wheel with a new design, also from the Odyssey. [[Lane centering#Honda Sensing/AcuraWatch|Honda Sensing]] is now standard on all trim levels for the Pilot.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2019-honda-pilot-suv-preview/|title=2019 Honda Pilot leans on family-friendly tech from Odyssey|website=CNET}}</ref>

For the 2020 model year, a new Black Edition trim was added to the lineup.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-honda-pilot-goes-into-stealth-mode-with-black-edition/| title = 2020 Honda Pilot Goes Into Stealth Mode With Black Edition}} </ref>

====2021 changes====
The [[ZF 9HP transmission|9-speed transmission]] is now standard on all trim levels, and a Special Edition is slotted between EX-L and Touring trims.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32909283/2021-honda-pilot-priced/ |title = 2021 Honda Pilot Price Up $600, Standard 9-Speed Automatic Added}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=July 2, 2020|title=Honda Pilot Prices, Reviews, and Pictures {{!}} Edmunds|url=https://www.edmunds.com/honda/pilot/|website=[[Edmunds.com]]}}</ref>

==== 2022 changes ====
For the 2022 model year, Honda introduced an entry-level Sport trim and a new TrailSport off-road oriented trim. The Sport trim replaced the discontinued LX and EX trim levels. The TrailSport exterior features include a suspension lift that increases ground clearance by {{convert|0.6|in|mm|1|abbr=on}}, black exterior trim, 18-inch alloy-wheels, and an orange and black TrailSport badge. On the interior, TrailSport models include TrailSport logos on seats and orange stitching.

Other changes to the 2022 Pilot include the 8-inch infotainment system and LED headlights becoming standard equipment and the introduction of a new Sonic Gray Pearl exterior paint color.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-10-25|title=2022 Honda Pilot Arrives with Expanded Standard Features|url=https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/2022-honda-pilot-arrives-with-expanded-standard-features|access-date=2022-02-22|website=Honda Automobiles Newsroom|language=en}}</ref> Honda Pilot 2023: Honda's Most Capable SUV<ref name=":1" />

It is now paired to a Honda ten-speed automatic gearbox which replaces the ZF 9HP automatic gearbox. This generation of Pilot contends directly with Toyota’s 2023 Grand Highlander, becoming bigger in size while keeping the sleek body for reduced drag and weight. At launch, there were six distinct trim levels available: LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. For the 2025 model year, Honda reintroduced the Black Edition (available on the 2020-2022 Pilot) trim level to the Pilot. The Black Edition includes 20-inch black alloy wheels, black trim and emblems, red trimmed interior, red LED ambient lighting, Black Edition on seats, and more. For 2025, the LX trim has been dropped, with the Sport now being the entry-level model. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-12 |title=2023 Honda Pilot Review, Pricing, and Specs - EV LEGACY |url=https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |language=English |archive-date=December 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207134040/https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The '''Honda Pilot''' is a [[mid-size crossover SUV]] with three-row seating manufactured by [[Honda]] since 2002.<ref>{{cite magazine|url= http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/08q4/2009_honda_pilot_vs._ford_flex_and_four_other_crossovers-comparison_tests |title=2009 Honda Pilot vs. Ford Flex and Four Other Crossovers - Comparison Tests |magazine=[[Car and Driver]] |access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref> Primarily aimed at the [[North America]]n market, the Pilot is the largest SUV produced by Honda. Pilots are currently manufactured in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], and the Pilot was produced in [[Alliston, Ontario]] until April 2007. The first generation Pilot was released in April 2002 as a 2003 model.<ref name=":0">{{cite news|url=http://www.autonews.com/assets/PDF/CA38821213.PDF|title=2004 Car Cutaways|newspaper=Automotive News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The Pilot shares its [[Car platform|platform]] with the [[Acura MDX]], as well as the North American market [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]] [[minivan]]. The Pilot's unibody construction and [[independent suspension]] are designed to provide handling similar to that of a car, and it has integrated perimeter frame rails to permit towing and light [[Off-roading|off-road use]].

Prior to the introduction of the Pilot, Honda marketed the compact crossover [[Honda CR-V|CR-V]] and the [[Honda Passport]] (a [[Badge engineering|rebadged]] [[Isuzu MU|Isuzu Rodeo]]). The Honda Passport that was sold between 1993 and 2002 was a truck-based design. The Pilot is Honda's largest SUV, although the 2010 [[Honda Accord Crosstour|Crosstour]] surpassed the Pilot in length.<ref>{{cite web|last=Giametta |first=Chuck |url= http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |title=2010 Car Comparison: Chevrolet Traverse v Honda Pilot v Toyota Highlander |publisher=iGuida |date=2010-03-21 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130507055459/http://iguida.com/2010-car-comparison-traverse-pilot-highlander |archive-date=2013-05-07 |access-date=2015-01-07}}</ref> The Pilot is now currently in its fourth generation, with multiple design changes occurring from getting bigger and resembling a truck to downsizing and becoming sleeker to now a slight mix of both.

The Pilot is sold in North America and the Middle East, while the Honda MDX (first generation Acura MDX) was marketed in Japan and Australia for several years. The second-generation Pilot was also sold in Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Latin America, and the Philippines.<ref name=":0" />

===Specifications===
[[File:2005 Honda Pilot EX-L rear 7.4.18.jpg|thumb|left|Rear view]]

The first-generation Pilot was released for sale on June 3, 2002. <ref>https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/release-a7771dd8ef5c22b67e149d004c34c71c-honda-announces-pricing-for-all-new-2003-pilot-suv</ref>
The 2003-2004 Pilots featured the J35A4 engine, an all-aluminum 3.5L V6 SOHC with VTEC, producing {{Convert|240|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|242|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque.

The 2005 Pilot received a new engine, the J35A6, which added drive-by-wire throttle and produced {{Convert|255|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|250|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Other changes included the transmission with revised 4th and 5th gear ratios providing a smoother transition between gears, along with a new fuel tank design, increasing the Pilot's driving range by over {{Convert|40|mi|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/all-new-2005-honda-pilot-features-new-more-powerful-engine|title=All-New 2005 Honda Pilot Features New, More Powerful Engine|date=September 2, 2004|website=Honda Newsroom}}</ref> All Pilots from 2003-2005 feature VTM-4, Honda's four-wheel drive system.

The Pilot received more updates starting with the 2006 model year, engines were either the J35Z1 (FWD) or the J35A9 (4WD). Both engines were rated at {{Convert|244|hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|240|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque; the power reduction is because Honda used the updated SAE net power standard. This was the first time 4WD was not standard on the Pilot.

The new FWD models featured Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system, which can deactivate up to three cylinders under light load to increase fuel economy, to help control noise from the system Honda added Active Control Engine Mount System (ACM) and Active Noise Cancellation ([[Active noise control|ANC]]). Further, this version of the J35 featured updated iVTEC and the automatic transmission a shorter 1st gear ratio. With powertrain updates and the lack of VTM-4 the FWD version had improved fuel economy of 18-city/24-highway, an increase of +1/+2 mpg versus the 4WD.

All Pilots from this generation feature a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Pilot has front struts with a coil-spring, multilink rear suspension for a flat rear load floor. The front track is 66.3 in (1,684 mm) and 66.5 in (1,689 mm) at the rear. The Pilot has a 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) boat/3,500 lb (1,588 kg) trailer towing capability with the optional dealer-installed towing package.

Pilots with Honda's Variable Torque Management 4WD system (VTM-4) sent most power to the front wheels under normal driving conditions. Under acceleration or if wheel slippage is detected at the front wheels, up to 50% of power can be sent to the rear wheels. The system also features a VTM-4 lock button on the dashboard which locks the rear differential and sends 25% of the power to each rear wheel. However, the VTM-4 lock function only operates in first gear, second gear and reverse, and automatically disengages above {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}, then re-engages when the speed drops below {{Convert|18|mph|0|abbr=on}}.

===Design===
Design of the Pilot was by Honda's Ricky Hsu through 1999, when styling was approved. The Pilot can accommodate eight passengers in three rows configured as [[stadium seating]]{{clarify|reason=What is stadium seating? The linked article mentions only stadiums, not vehicles|date=June 2024}} as a standard feature. The third row can seat three, but the limited legroom makes it suitable only for small children or adults on short trips. Similar to the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Honda Odyssey]], the rear seats can be folded into flat surfaces for larger cargo. Options include a [[DVD]] entertainment system or a [[Automotive navigation system|navigation system]] for EX-L models, but both cannot be installed simultaneously on the same car.<ref>{{cite patent|country=US|number=D460022|pubdate=2002-07-09|title=Vehicle body|assign1=[[Honda Motor Co.

Other features include [[Anti-lock brakes|ABS]]-equipped four-wheel [[disc brake]]s, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension, and 282° of outward visibility.

====2004 changes====
For the 2004 model year, Honda increased adjustability on second-row seats and added heated front seats and side mirrors to EX-L models.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2004-Honda-Pilot/expert-review/|title=2004 Honda Pilot New Car Test Drive|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

====2005 changes====
For the 2005 model year, Honda added tire pressure monitoring, electronic stability control, revised steering, and upgraded the airbags.

===2006 facelift===
[[File:Honda Pilot EX 4WD 2008.jpg|thumb|right|2008 Honda Pilot EX]]
Honda revised the Pilot for the 2006 model year in October 2005. Changes to the exterior included a new fascia with a different grille insert and halogen projector headlights, and tail lights with clear lenses. The EX trim level received redesigned wheels, and the original EX wheels were now found on the LX trim. For the first time, body colored door handles are introduced to the Pilot on the EX trim, and a powered [[moonroof]] is introduced to the Pilot on the EX-L trim. On the inside, side airbags were provided in the C pillar, the gauge cluster was updated and the center console featured chrome trim and redesigned storage compartments and cup holders. For the 2006 model year, Honda added Variable Cylinder Management to the two-wheel-drive models. This VCM tech proved to be problematic in some cases, which led to a class action lawsuit for Honda Motor Co.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/5323-honda-engine-misfire-class-action-lawsuit-settlement/ |title = Honda Engine Misfire Class Action Lawsuit Settlement - Top Class Actions}}</ref>

====2007 changes====
For the 2007 model year, Honda added Nimbus Gray Metallic, Dark Cherry Pearl, Aberdeen Green Metallic, and Formal Black as four new colors to all models.

====2008 changes====
For the last model year of the generation Honda added two new trims. The VP (Value Package) replaces the LX as base trim and SE (special edition) goes in between the EX and EX-L trim.

[[File:Honda Pilot EXL 2009 (rear).jpg|thumb|left|Rear view]]
The larger second generation Pilot was unveiled as a prototype in January 2008 at the [[North American International Auto Show#2008|North American International Auto Show]]. Assembled at [[Honda Manufacturing of Alabama]] in [[Lincoln, Alabama]], it was offered in five trims; LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and SE (2015 only).<ref>[http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/Honda/Pilot/Honda_US%20Pilot_2015.pdf 2015 Honda Pilot Brochure], Honda Motor Co., via auto-brochures.com, dated 2014, last accessed 19 November 2022</ref> All second generation Pilots used a new J35Z4 3.5-liter V6 i-VTEC engine producing {{convert|250|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} SAE net at 5700 rpm and {{convert|253|lb.ft|N·m|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4800 rpm.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://automobiles.honda.com/pilot/specifications.aspx |title=2009 Honda Pilot - Specifications - Official Honda Site |publisher=Automobiles.honda.com |access-date=2010-10-03}}</ref> EPA fuel economy is rated at {{convert|17|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} city /{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} highway with front-wheel-drive and 16 mpg city / 22 mpg highway for all-wheel-drive. Competing with the Toyota 4Runner, it became popular for its truck-like look, which was designed with influences from [[General Motors|GM's]] full-size [[Chevrolet Tahoe|Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon]]. However it was downsized for better fuel efficiency in the third generation.

Both drivetrains were equipped with five-speed [[automatic transmission|automatics]]. The second generation's wheelbase is {{convert|109.2|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, with a length of {{convert|190.9|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a width of {{convert|78.5|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}, a height of {{convert|72.7|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} and interior space of {{convert|153.7|cuft|m3|abbr=on}}. The redesigned headlights lost the previous generation's halogen projectors and return to standard halogen reflectors. Features included new two-position memory settings for the driver's seat, a new power tailgate, and the gear shift was relocated from the steering column to the center console between the front seats. The Touring trim included special "Touring" badging on the right side of the back door, a 120-volt power outlet, and a satellite-linked Honda navigation system.

===2011 changes===
The 2011 model year had minimal changes. The voice-activated navigation system which was previously exclusive to the Touring trim became available on the EX-L trim and rear entertainment system became standard equipment on the Touring trim.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2011-Honda-Pilot/|title=2011 Honda Pilot Information|website=Autoblog|language=en|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===2012 facelift===
[[File:2012 Honda Pilot -- 11-10-2011.jpg|thumb|left|2012 Honda Pilot EX]]

The 2012 model year introduced a redesigned front fascia, new alloy wheels, and updates to the interior along with changes to the bumper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/honda/pilot/2012/|title=2012 Honda Pilot - Overview|website=JB car pages|language=en-US|access-date=2021-02-14}}</ref>

====2013 changes====
The 2013 model year included a standard rearview [[backup camera]], i-MID central dashboard 8-inch LCD screen, [[USB connector]], [[Bluetooth]] hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming, and tri-zone climate control.

====2015 changes====
The SE (special edition) trim was added which came standard with a power moonroof, satellite radio, LED headlights(on Touring models), and rear seat entertainment system.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/pilot/2015/|title=2015 Honda Pilot Reviews - Research Pilot Prices & Specs|website=MotorTrend|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-03}}</ref>

===Safety===
The Pilot uses Honda's [[Advanced Compatibility Engineering]] front bracket. For the 2013 model year a rearview [[backup camera]] was made standard. The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] (IIHS) found the Honda Pilot's driver death rate of 2 deaths per million registered among the ten lowest released in their report<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/50/1/1|title=Death rates fall as vehicles improve|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/driver-death-rates|title=Driver death rates|work=iihs.org|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref>

The third-generation 2016 Pilot debuted at the [[Chicago Auto Show#2015|Chicago Auto Show]] in February 2015, and production began in May. It was made available for sale in June.

The exterior is sleeker in appearance compared to its boxier predecessor with a 10 percent reduction in [[drag area]]. Added to the exterior are standard LED brake and tail lights, LED [[daytime running lights]] (DRLs) on EX trims and above, and [[LED headlamp]]s with automatic high-low beam switching the on new Elite model with special "Elite" badging. The Elite trim level also gained features that were new to the Pilot, including ventilated front seats, heated rear captain's chairs which reduced the seating capacity to seven from eight, and a panoramic roof. Alloy wheels became standard.

Newly available safety features include Honda's LaneWatch passenger-side mirror camera or [[blind spot monitoring|Blind Spot Information]] (BSI) and rear Cross Traffic Monitor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=8493-en|title=2016 Honda Pilot - Safety and Driver Assistance - Honda.com|website=news.honda.com|access-date=2018-01-11}}</ref> Additional options, including [[Forward Collision Warning]] (FCW) with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), [[Lane Departure Warning]] (LDW) with [[Lane Centering|Lane Keeping Assist System]] (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), and [[Adaptive Cruise Control]] (ACC) are available as part of the [[Lane centering#Honda Sensing/AcuraWatch|Honda Sensing]] suite. A tri-angle [[backup camera]] is standard with dynamic guidelines optional.

The revised 3.5-liter V6 engine has [[gasoline direct injection|direct-injection]] and a [[start-stop system]] (on the Touring and Elite trims) with improved power at {{convert|280|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}, a 6-speed automatic is standard on the LX, EX, and EX-L trims while a [[ZF Friedrichshafen|ZF]] 9-speed automatic is standard on the Touring and Elite trims. With all-wheel drive models the amount of engine torque sent to each rear wheel is variable. EPA-estimated fuel economy is improved with [[front-wheel drive]] (FWD) 6-speed models registering {{convert|19|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|22|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}, and [[all-wheel drive]] (AWD) models registering {{convert|18|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|26|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|21|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} (city/highway/combined). 9-speed models see fuel economy of {{convert|20|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|27|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|23|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} mpg in FWD configuration and {{convert|19|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|26|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}}/{{convert|22|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on}} (city/highway/combined) in AWD configuration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fueleconomy.gov/ |title=Honda Pilot Fuel Economy |publisher=FuelEconomy.gov |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150708093450/http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ |archive-date=July 8, 2015 }}</ref>

Though overall dimensions are smaller, the interior becomes more spacious modelled after the Odyssey, and weight is down approximately {{convert|300|lb|kg|abbr=on}} with [[noise, vibration, and harshness]] (NVH) reduced. Structurally 21.3% of the Pilot's body is composed of 980, 1300 and 1,500 [[MPa]] ultra-high-[[yield strength|strength]] steels, 5% is from aluminum or magnesium, an additional 34.5% is 270 MPa mild strength steel used in areas to minimize repair costs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2015/06/17/2016-honda-pilot-only-38-5-mild-steel-has-very-specific-repair-dos-and-donts/|title=2016 Honda Pilot only 34.5% mild steel, has very specific repair dos and don'ts|publisher=Repairer Driven News|access-date=2015-11-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://automobiles.honda.com:443/|title=Shop Current & Upcoming Vehicles {{!}} Honda|website=Honda Automobiles|language=en|access-date=2019-12-20}}</ref>

For the 2019 model year, Honda has refreshed the Pilot inside and out. The powertrain for the Pilot has remained unchanged, but Honda did revise the nine-speed transmission and [[start-stop system]] that are only found on the Touring and Elite trims. The exterior now featured new bumpers, grille, wheels, standard LED headlights, and revised tail lights. A hands-free tailgate is now available. In the interior, the gauge cluster is replaced with a new one, similar to the one found on the [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Odyssey]]. The infotainment system is updated with the latest HondaLink software and it also features the CabinControl app (also found in the Odyssey). 4G LTE hotspot, CabinTalk, and a new rear entertainment system are now available. The volume slider has also been replaced with a volume knob. Honda has replaced the steering wheel with a new design, also from the Odyssey.

It is now paired to a Honda ten-speed automatic gearbox which replaces the ZF 9HP automatic gearbox. This generation of Pilot contends directly with Toyota’s 2023 Grand Highlander, becoming bigger in size while keeping the sleek body for reduced drag and weight. At launch, there were six distinct trim levels available: LX, Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. For the 2025 model year, Honda reintroduced the Black Edition (available on the 2020-2022 Pilot) trim level to the Pilot. The Black Edition includes 20-inch black alloy wheels, black trim and emblems, red trimmed interior, red LED ambient lighting, Black Edition on seats, and more. For 2025, the LX trim has been dropped, with the Sport now being the entry-level model. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-12 |title=2023 Honda Pilot Review, Pricing, and Specs - EV LEGACY |url=https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |language=English |archive-date=December 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221207134040/https://evlegacy.com/2023-honda-pilot/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== Midland, Texas ===
On March 14, 2020, Hispanic American man, 18, attacked an [[Asian Americans|Asian]] family at a [[Sam's Club]] in Midland. After grabbing a knife from a store display, the attacker punched the father and cut him before attacking two of his sons, aged two and six. A Sam's Club employee and a [[U.S. Customs and Border Protection]] officer held the attacker down, with the store employee being stabbed in the process. The attacker yelled for the family to "get out of America" during the attack and later told police he attacked them because he believed they were [[Chinese Americans|Chinese]] and responsible for the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], though the family was actually [[Burmese Americans|Burmese]]. The attacker pleaded guilty to federal hate crime charges and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.<ref>{{cite web |title=Suspect in Sam's Club stabbing sentenced to a total of 45 years in prison |url=https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/crime/suspect-in-sams-club-stabbing-sentenced-to-45-years-in-prison/513-920f79cf-60e0-4822-a2f0-a3c577b7b19d |website=News West 9 |access-date=November 12, 2023 |date=August 4, 2022 |archive-date=6 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230306214913/https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/crime/suspect-in-sams-club-stabbing-sentenced-to-45-years-in-prison/513-920f79cf-60e0-4822-a2f0-a3c577b7b19d |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Campbell |first1=Josh |last2=Rose |first2=Andy |title=Texas man sentenced to 25 years in prison for assaulting Asian family he blamed for the pandemic |url=https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/05/us/texas-asian-hate-crime-sentencing/index.html |website=CNN |access-date=November 12, 2023 |date=August 5, 2022 |archive-date=5 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405184151/https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/05/us/texas-asian-hate-crime-sentencing/index.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Members of the two rival Manchester gangs would often release music and videos taunting and threatening each other, which some believe has led to more violence. In court, some of the music from AO's members was played, lyrics to one particular track said: "I swear that's Mo let's kill him, kill him...". The gang members and music artists often express their allegiance in music through the use of certain hand signals, and wearing different colours, Moss Side's AO wearing the red bandana, and Rusholme Crips wearing light blue.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bardsley |first=Andrew |date=2021-02-11 |title=The tragic toll of Manchester's rap wars where lyrics foreshadow killings |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/tragic-toll-manchesters-rap-wars-19820878 |access-date=2023-05-23 |website=Manchester Evening News |language=en |archive-date=31 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231031173406/https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/tragic-toll-manchesters-rap-wars-19820878 |url-status=live }}</ref>

On November 6, 1967, Donahue left WHIO, moving his talk program with ''The Phil Donahue Show'' on WLWD (now [[WDTN]]), also in Dayton. Initially, the program was shown only on other stations owned by the [[Crosley Broadcasting Corporation]] (which would later take the name of its parent [[Avco|Avco Company]]), which also owned WLWD. But, in January 1970, ''The Phil Donahue Show'' entered nationwide [[Television syndication|syndication]]. Donahue's syndicated show moved from Dayton, Ohio, to Chicago in 1974; then in 1984, he moved the show to New York City, where the show was shot at a studio at 30 [[Rockefeller Plaza]].{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

After a 29-year run—26 years in syndication and nearly 7,000 one-hour daily shows—the final original episode of ''Donahue'' aired on September 13, 1996.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/rip-phil-donahue|title=R.I.P. Phil Donahue, legendary talk show host|website=AV Club}}</ref>

In the 1980s, during the [[Cold War]] period of [[Glasnost|openness by the USSR]], Donahue and Soviet journalist [[Vladimir Pozner Jr.|Vladimir Pozner]] co-hosted a series of televised discussions, known as the [[U.S.–Soviet Space Bridge]], among everyday citizens of the [[Soviet Union]] and the United States.<ref>[http://rbth.ru/articles/2012/12/06/phil_donahue_we_reached_out_instead_of_lashed_out_20867.html Phil Donahue: "We reached out instead of lashed out"] Russia, Beyond the Headlines, http://rbth.ru, December 6, 2012.</ref> It was the first event of its kind in broadcasting history: Donahue hosted an audience in a U.S. city while Posner hosted an audience in a Soviet city, all on one television program. Members of both audiences asked each other questions about both nations. While the governments of both nations were preparing for the possibility of [[nuclear war]], Donahue said: "We reached out instead of lashed out." From 1991 to 1994 Donahue and Posner co-hosted ''Posner/Donahue'', a weekly, issues-oriented roundtable program, which aired both on [[CNBC]] and in syndication.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywood.com/celebrity/Phil_Donahue/189331|title=Phil Donahue | Biography, Photos, Movies, TV, Credits|publisher=Hollywood.com|access-date=2010-12-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080320021104/http://www.hollywood.com/celebrity/Phil_Donahue/189331|archive-date=March 20, 2008|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

Soon after the show's cancellation, an internal MSNBC memo was leaked to the press stating that Donahue should be fired because he opposed the imminent [[U.S. invasion of Iraq]] and that he would be a "difficult public face for NBC in a time of war"<ref>Poniewozik, James, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090118233146/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1871916,00.html "In the Obama Era, Will the Media Change Too?"] ''Time'', January 15, 2009.</ref> and that his program could be "a home for the liberal anti-war agenda".<ref>Naureckas, Jim

==History==
The program was broadcast on Sunday nights from 1973 until 1993. Following the end of original programming, the program continued, featuring material from previously broadcast shows, until 2005. During its prime, the program was carried by more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. The show's name was derived from the influential blues radio show ''[[King Biscuit Time]]'', which was sponsored by the King Biscuit Flour Co., combined with the [[hippie]] phrase "[[flower power]]". The first show was broadcast on February 18, 1973, and featured [[Blood, Sweat & Tears]], [[the Mahavishnu Orchestra]], and [[Bruce Springsteen]]. The long-time host of the show until the mid-1990s was [[Bill Minkin]], whose voice has been described as "the perfect blend of hipster enthusiasm and stoner casualness."<ref>Gallucci, Michael. "King Biscuit Flower Hour Records: There's Plenty More in the Archives" ''Goldmine'' May 8, 1998: 42-46</ref>

The concerts were usually recorded with a mobile recording truck, then mixed and edited for broadcast on the show within a few weeks. In the 1970s, the show was sent to participating radio stations on reel-to-reel tape. Some shows were recorded and mixed in both stereo and quadraphonic. In 1980, D.I.R. began using the LP format, producing the show on a three-sided, two-record set. The first show on compact disc was a live retrospective of [[the Rolling Stones]] broadcast on September 27, 1987. By 2000, King Biscuit was using CD-R media to distribute the show. These tapes, records or compact discs were accompanied by a cue sheet which gave the disc jockey a written guideline of the content and length of each segment of the program.

Although closely associated with [[classic rock]] in its later years, the ''King Biscuit Flower Hour'' dedicated much air time to new and emerging artists, including [[New wave music|new wave]] and [[modern rock]] artists in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

=== Archives ===
On January 2, 1982, a [[Multiple-alarm fire|three-alarm fire]] damaged the Manhattan office tower that housed D.I.R. Broadcasting.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1982/01/03/nyregion/fire-sweeps-tower-s-lower-floors.html "Fire Sweeps Tower's Lower Floors"], ''New York Times'', Jan. 3, 1982: 26</ref> Reportedly, many of the ''King Biscuit Flower Hour'' recordings were lost in the fire.<ref>Kominicki, John. "I came upon a child of God, he was walking the LIE" ''Long Island Business News'' May 15, 2009</ref>

In 2006, the remaining ''King Biscuit'' tape archives were acquired by [[Wolfgang's Vault]] which began streaming concerts online and has made some available for download.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/12/technology/12video.html |title=Who Owns the Live Music of Days Gone By? |last=Levine |first=Robert |date=March 12, 2007 |website=www.nytimes.com |publisher=The New York Times Company |access-date=March 23, 2018 }}</ref>

==King Biscuit Flower Hour Records==
After founder [[Bob Meyrowitz]] sold his interest to new ownership, King Biscuit Flower Hour Records was formed in 1992 with the intention of releasing live albums from the archives. Licensing issues prevented the release of the most popular artists featured on the program, although dozens of recordings did see commercial release.

== History ==
Inuvik was conceived in 1953 as a replacement administrative centre for the hamlet of [[Aklavik]] on the west of the [[Mackenzie River|Mackenzie Delta]], as the latter was prone to flooding and had no room for expansion. Initially called "New Aklavik", it was renamed Inuvik in 1958. The school was built in 1959 and the hospital, government offices and staff residences in 1960, when people, including [[Inuvialuit]], [[Gwichʼin]] ([[Dene]]) and [[Métis]], began to live in the community.

[[CFS Inuvik|Naval Radio Station (NRS) Inuvik]], later CFS Inuvik, callsign CFV, was commissioned on 10 September 1963 after operations had been successfully transferred from NRS Aklavik. Station CFV was part of the SUPRAD (Supplementary Radio) network of intercept and direction finding stations.

CFS Inuvik closed on 1 April 1986 and the site was transferred to the [[Transport Canada|Department of Transport]] for use as a telecommunications station. Nothing remains of CFS Inuvik today. The Navy Operations base at the end of Navy Road was completely dismantled and removed.

Inuvik achieved village status in 1967 and became a full town in 1979 with an elected mayor and council. In 1979, with the completion of the [[Dempster Highway]], Inuvik became connected to [[National Highway System (Canada)|Canada's highway system]], and simultaneously the most northerly town to which one could drive in Canada. While a winter only [[ice road]] through the Mackenzie River delta still connects Inuvik to [[Aklavik]], southwest of Inuvik, the [[Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road]], which ran northeast to [[Tuktoyaktuk]], is no longer being built due to the opening in November 2017, of the [[Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk Highway]] (ITH), which is open all year round. The Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk highway, which connects to Canada's highway system at Inuvik via the Dempster Highway, is the first road in history to reach the [[Arctic Ocean]] in North America.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://spectacularnwt.com/story/follow-first-ever-highway-to-arctic-ocean|title = Follow the first-ever highway to the Arctic Ocean}}</ref>

Between 1971 and 1990, the town's economy was supported by the local [[Canadian Armed Forces]] Station, CFS Inuvik, (originally a Naval Radio Station, later a communications research/signals intercept facility<ref name="Proc">{{cite web|url=http://jproc.ca/rrp/inuvik.html|title=Inuvik|access-date=2014-12-31|last=Proc|first=Jerry|date=October 2007|publisher=jproc.ca}}</ref>) and by [[petrochemical]] companies exploring the Mackenzie Valley and the [[Beaufort Sea]] for petroleum. This all collapsed in 1990 for a variety of reasons, including disappearing government military subsidies, local resistance to petroleum exploration, and low international oil prices. Since then the economy has been based on some minor tourism and subsidy provided by the [[Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada]] (INAC), [[Health Canada]] (for the regional hospital) and the [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police]].

== Geography ==

[[File:Inuvik, NT.jpg|thumb|Aerial view of town in 2021]]

Inuvik is located on the East Channel of the Mackenzie Delta, approximately {{cvt|100|km}} from the Arctic Ocean and approximately {{cvt|200|km}} north of the [[Arctic Circle]]. The [[tree line]] lies north of Inuvik, and the town is surrounded by [[Taiga|boreal forest]].<ref>[https://www.inuvik.ca/en/discovering-inuvik/About-Inuvik.asp About Inuvik]</ref>

Due to its northern location, Inuvik experiences an average of 56 days of [[midnight sun]] every summer and 30 days of [[polar night]] every winter.

==Transportation==

===Road===
Until November 2017, Inuvik was the most northern community in Canada to be accessible by road (now second to [[Tuktoyaktuk]]). The {{cvt|736|km}} [[Dempster Highway]] links Inuvik to the rest of Canada, providing relatively easy access to a wide variety of goods, and greatly reducing their cost. In contrast, many Arctic communities depend on cargo flights for regular goods and summer [[sealift]]s for larger freight, making goods expensive and often slow to arrive.<ref>{{cite web

In 2017, the [[Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk Highway]] was extended north from Inuvik another {{cvt|138|km}} to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic coast. Inuvik is also connected to [[Aklavik]] by an [[ice road]] across the Mackenzie Delta from late December until late April each year.<ref name="winter road dates">{{cite web

The Dempster Highway relies on ferries to cross the [[Peel River (Canada)|Peel River]] near [[Fort McPherson, Northwest Territories|Fort McPherson]] and the [[Mackenzie River]] at [[Tsiigehtchic]] during the summer. In winter, ice bridges are constructed to cross the rivers. During the spring the crossings close throughout May as the ice on the rivers breaks up. Similarly, they are impassible for most of November while the rivers freeze.<ref name="winter road dates"/><ref>{{cite web

During these times air travel is the only way for people and goods to reach Inuvik.

===Air===
The [[Inuvik (Mike Zubko) Airport]] is serviced by several regional carriers. [[Canadian North]] has regular direct flights to [[Yellowknife]] and [[Norman Wells]]. It further connects to [[Edmonton]], and a number of smaller communities in the Northwest Territories and [[Nunavut]].<ref>{{cite web

===Water===
When the Mackenzie River is ice-free, [[Marine Transportation Services]] provides a commercial barge service from [[Hay River, Northwest Territories|Hay River]], on [[Great Slave Lake]] to the regional terminal in Inuvik. The annual [[sealift]] moves supplies east into the [[Kitikmeot Region]] of [[Nunavut]] and west to [[Utqiagvik, Alaska]].<ref name="MTS">{{cite web

Many locals own small boats with [[outboard motor]]s which are used to access family hunting and fishing camps or to visit [[Aklavik]]. Boat traffic comes to a halt in the winter when the Mackenzie River freezes.

==Climate==
Inuvik has a [[subarctic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Dfc''). Summers are typically wetter and cool, with temperatures varying wildly throughout the months due to its peculiar location near the cold [[Arctic Ocean]]. The average hottest month of the year, July, has a mean high of {{cvt|19.5|C}} and mean low of {{cvt|8.6|C}}. Unlike many other North American continental climates, Inuvik warms up very quickly during May and June due to the rapidly increasing day length, and that remaining snow cools down until May. June is a warmer month than August. Seasonal transitions are extremely short, with mean daily temperatures rising or falling as fast as {{cvt|0.5|C-change}} per day. Winters are long and cold; the coldest month of the year, January, having a mean high of {{cvt|-22.8|C}} and a mean low of {{cvt|-31.0|C}}. Freezing temperatures can occur any month of the year. Inuvik has a great variation of temperatures during the year, usually peaking below {{cvt|-40|C}} in the winter and above {{cvt|30|C}} in the summer.<ref name= "ccnYEV"/> The highest temperature ever recorded in Inuvik was {{cvt|34.8|C}} on 7 August 2024.<ref name=july2023/> The coldest temperature ever recorded was {{cvt|-56.7|C}} on 4 February 1968.<ref name= "ccnYEV"/>

Snow that falls from October onward usually stays until the spring thaw in mid-May. By March, the median snow depth has reached its greatest, about {{cvt|56.2|cm}}.<ref name= "ccnYEV"/>

=== Famous attractions ===
[[File:Our Lady of Victory church.jpg|thumb|''Our Lady of Victory'' church]]

Inuvik's [[Our Lady of Victory Church (Inuvik)|Our Lady of Victory Church]], often called ''Igloo Church'', is a famous landmark in the region. It is the most-photographed building in the town {{Citation needed|date=May 2013}}.

Inuvik has the [[Midnight Sun Mosque]], North America's northernmost, which opened in November 2010 after being built in [[Winnipeg]] and moved {{cvt|4000|km}} by truck and barge.<ref>[https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/arctic-bound-mosque-makes-barge-to-inuvik-1.870470 CBC News Article on the World's northernmost mosque]</ref> Some media reports have mistakenly called the mosque "the world's northernmost mosque", but in fact mosques in [[Nord Kamal Mosque|Norilsk, Russia]], and [[Tromsø]], Norway, are both slightly further north than Inuvik.<ref name="alnor">{{cite web |url=http://www.alnor.no/en_facts_tromso.htm |title=Alnor facts Tromsø |publisher=alnor.no |access-date=2014-12-31 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006180338/http://www.alnor.no/en_facts_tromso.htm |archive-date=6 October 2014 }}</ref><ref name="sptimes">{{cite web |url=http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=21621 |title=Arctic Muslims | The St. Petersburg Times | The leading English-language newspaper in St. Petersburg |publisher=sptimes.ru |access-date=2014-12-31 |archive-date=4 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204014803/http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=21621 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The [[Great Northern Arts Festival]] has been held annually for 10 days in the middle of July since 1989.<ref name="gnaf.">{{cite web|title=Great Northern Arts Festival|url=http://www.gnaf.org|access-date=2014-12-31|publisher=gnaf.org}}</ref> The Festival has hosted over 3,000 artists from across Canada's north, and from as far away as Japan and Australia over 31 years and is the largest annual tourism event in the Beaufort Delta. Featuring on-site demonstrations, 50+ arts workshops, a 3,500-piece gallery, an outdoor carving village, an interactive artist studio zone, nightly cultural performances, northern film screenings, family activities and an [[Arctic]] fashion show, the Festival attracts visitors from around the world to travel the Dempster Highway to visit Inuvik and the Gwich'in and [[Inuvialuit Settlement Region]]s.

The annual Sunrise Festival happens on the second weekend of the new year, when the sun finally breaks the horizon after about thirty days of [[polar night]]. The Festival is an all-day community event highlighted by [[dog sled]] races, a long-program fireworks show and community bonfire. This Festival was highlighted in the award-winning<ref name="coloribus">{{cite web|url=http://www.coloribus.com/festivals-awards/cannes-lions/Cannes-Lions-2010/film-lions/--/gold/ |title=Cannes Lions 2010 Winners Film Lions |publisher=coloribus.com|access-date=2014-12-31}}</ref> 2010 national Tropicana Orange Juice commercial ''Arctic Sun''.<ref name="coloribus2">{{cite web |url=http://www.coloribus.com/adsarchive/tv-commercials/tropicana-juice-arctic-sun-13585855/ |title=Tropicana Juice: "Arctic Sun" TV Commercial by BBDO Toronto Canada |publisher=coloribus.com |access-date=2014-12-31 |archive-date=2 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101102050454/http://www.coloribus.com/adsarchive/tv-commercials/tropicana-juice-arctic-sun-13585855/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Inuvik celebrates the Muskrat Jamboree each year in late March or early April. Started in 1957, the event brings together thousands of people to participate in traditional games, watch the dog sled and snowmobile races and dance (jig) the night away in town. Most events are held on the Mackenzie River where several community groups operate concessions in stove-heated traditional McPherson tents, preparing hot soup, [[Bannock (Indigenous American)|bannock]], baked goods, coffee, [[Labrador tea]], hot chocolate and other traditional refreshments. Many participants and spectators wear traditional clothing and often local artisans will have something to sell. In conjunction with the Muskrat Jamboree, the Town of Inuvik hosts the annual Muskrat Cup 3-on-3 Pond Hockey Tournament on the frozen Mackenzie River, the world's most northerly cash tournament.

The weekend closest to the summer solstice (21 June) each year features the Midnight Sun Fun Run, a 5K, 10K and [[half marathon]] that starts at midnight under the [[Midnight sun|24-hours of sunlight]] experienced for over 50 days each summer in Inuvik. Runners from around the world make their way north to participate in this unique event under the midnight sun.

==Facilities==
[[File:Inuvik Regional Hospital 2.jpg|thumb|Inuvik Regional Hospital]]
A new hospital opened in early 2003, providing service to an area extending from [[Sachs Harbour]] on [[Banks Island]], to [[Ulukhaktok]] on [[Victoria Island]], and from [[Paulatuk]] into the [[Sahtu Region]] including [[Norman Wells]], [[Tulita]], [[Délı̨nę]], [[Fort Good Hope]], and [[Colville Lake, Northwest Territories|Colville Lake]].

The Midnight Sun Complex, a stage-built multi-use facility, was completed in 2006. Featuring the Roy 'Sugloo' Ipana Memorial Arena, with an NHL-sized ice surface; the Inuvik Curling Club with three sheets and a well-situated licensed lounge/viewing area; the Inuvik Pool, an award-winning Class B recreational pool with lane swimming, waterpark features including a two-story waterslide, hot tub, sauna and steam room; two squash courts; a multi-use community hall with stage; on-site business centre/production office; full building wireless; video-conferencing facility; on-site catering/kitchen; and meeting rooms for groups of 5 to 500. At full-building use, the Complex can host conferences, conventions and trade shows with up to 1200 delegates/exhibitors.<ref name="inuvik">{{cite web|url=http://www.inuvik.ca |title=Town of Inuvik | Go beyond the Arctic Circle | Town of Inuvik |publisher=inuvik.ca|access-date=2014-12-31}}</ref>

The community has a state-of-the-art school called East 3. The construction budget for the school exceeded $110 million, and it features modern technologies such as 'smartboards' and videoconferencing facilities as well as a large gym.

A distinct feature of Inuvik is the use of "[[Utility tunnel#Arctic towns|utilidors]]" – above-ground utility conduits carrying water and sewage – which are covered by corrugated steel. They run throughout town connecting most buildings, and as a result there are many small bridges and underpasses. The utilidors are necessary because of the [[permafrost]] underlying the town.

==Communications==
Landline telephone service is provided by [[Northwestel]], and cellular service by [[Ice Wireless]] and Arctic Digital ([[Bell Mobility]]). Cable television is also offered in Inuvik by New North Networks.

[[Optical fiber|Fibre optic]] communications were added in Inuvik in June 2017 with the completion of the [[Mackenzie Valley Fibre Link]]; the $82 million {{cvt|1200|km}} line adds new capability to the town.

However, the dependence on this single trunk line occasionally causes widespread Internet outages during Dempster or Alaska Highway maintenance or construction.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/northwestel-internet-phone-service-restored-to-all-customers-1.3703436| title = Northwestel: Internet, phone service restored to all customers {{!}} CBC News}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/federal-government-apologizes-yukon-internet-1.3706366| title = Feds apologize after contractor knocks out internet in Yukon, Nunavut {{!}} CBC News}}</ref> A backup trunk line between [[Fort Simpson]] and Inuvik is currently under construction.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/yukon-internet-fibre-dempster-northwestel-1.3291529| title = Yukon to build fibre optic line along Dempster Highway to N.W.T. {{!}} CBC News}}</ref>

'''Fort McPherson''' ([[Gwich’in language|Gwich'in]]: ''Teetł'it Zheh'' {{IPA-ath|tʰeː.tɬʼɪtʰ ʒɛh|}}, ''at the head of the waters'') is a [[Hamlet (place)#Canada|hamlet]] located in the [[Inuvik Region]] of the [[Northwest Territories]], Canada. It is located on the east bank of the [[Peel River (Canada)|Peel River]] and is {{Cvt|121|km}} south of [[Inuvik]] on the [[Dempster Highway]].

The [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] people who make up the majority are [[Gwich'in]] (Teetł'it Gwich'in) and the two principal languages spoken are [[Gwichʼin language|Gwichʼin]] and English.<ref>[http://www.fortmcpherson.ca/AboutUs Fort McPherson - A Brief History]</ref>
Originally the site of a [[Hudson's Bay Company]] post the community was named for Murdoch McPherson.

Most people have vehicles and regularly make trips to either Inuvik, or [[Whitehorse, Yukon]].

== History ==
Fort McPherson was the starting point of [[Francis Joseph Fitzgerald]]'s famous tragic journey of "The Lost Patrol". All four men on the Patrol, including Fitzgerald, were buried at Fort McPherson on 28 March 1911. In 1938, the graves were cemented over into one large tomb (to the right of the flag pole in above image), with cement posts at the four corners connected by a chain. In the centre is a memorial to the Royal Northwest Mounted Police Patrol of 1910.

==National Historic Site==
In 1969, the area comprising the boundaries of the community of Fort McPherson, as it was mapped in 1898, was designated a [[National Historic Sites of Canada|National Historic Site of Canada]], in recognition of the fact that the site had served as the principal [[Hudson's Bay Company]] trading post in the [[Mackenzie River|MacKenzie Delta]] region for over 50 years, and had been the first [[North-West Mounted Police]] post in the [[Northern Canada|Western Arctic]].<ref>{{CRHP|1141|Fort McPherson National Historic Site of Canada|4 October 2013}}</ref>

==Transportation==
Fort McPherson is accessible by road all year from [[Dawson City]] and [[Whitehorse, Yukon|Whitehorse]], [[Yukon]], with the exception of spring break-up and fall freeze-up on the Peel River. The community also has access to Inuvik via the Dempster Highway and crosses the [[Mackenzie River]] at [[Tsiigehtchic]].

There is also a small airport at Fort McPherson, [[Fort McPherson Airport]], that has seasonal flights to [[Inuvik (Mike Zubko) Airport]] on [[Aklak Air]] when the road across the Peel is closed.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://aklakair.ca/uploads/pdf/flight_schedule.pdf |title=Flight Schedule |access-date=13 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140114025950/http://aklakair.ca/uploads/pdf/flight_schedule.pdf |archive-date=14 January 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The former [[Fort McPherson Water Aerodrome]] was listed as closed in the 15 March 2007 [[Canada Flight Supplement]].<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

==Demographics==
In the [[2021 Canadian census|2021 Census of Population]] conducted by [[Statistics Canada]], Fort McPherson had a population of {{val|647|fmt=commas}} living in {{val|255|fmt=commas}} of its {{val|318|fmt=commas}} total private dwellings, a change of {{percentage|{{#expr:647-700}}|700|1}} from its 2016 population of {{val|700|fmt=commas}}. With a land area of {{convert|53.83|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|647|53.83|km2|sqmi|prec=1}} in 2021.<ref name=2021census>{{cite web | url=https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810000202&geocode=A000261 | title=Population and dwelling counts: Canada, provinces and territories, and census subdivisions (municipalities), Northwest Territories | publisher=[[Statistics Canada]] | date=February 9, 2022 | accessdate=February 18, 2022}}</ref>

'''Fort McPherson''' ([[Gwich’in language|Gwich'in]]: ''Teetł'it Zheh'' {{IPA-ath|tʰeː.tɬʼɪtʰ ʒɛh|}}, ''at the head of the waters'') is a [[Hamlet (place)#Canada|hamlet]] located in the [[Inuvik Region]] of the [[Northwest Territories]], Canada. It is located on the east bank of the [[Peel River (Canada)|Peel River]] and is {{Cvt|121|km}} south of [[Inuvik]] on the [[Dempster Highway]].

The [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] people who make up the majority are [[Gwich'in]] (Teetł'it Gwich'in) and the two principal languages spoken are [[Gwichʼin language|Gwichʼin]] and English.<ref>[http://www.fortmcpherson.ca/AboutUs Fort McPherson - A Brief History]</ref>
Originally the site of a [[Hudson's Bay Company]] post the community was named for Murdoch McPherson.

Most people have vehicles and regularly make trips to either Inuvik, or [[Whitehorse, Yukon]].

== History ==
Fort McPherson was the starting point of [[Francis Joseph Fitzgerald]]'s famous tragic journey of "The Lost Patrol". All four men on the Patrol, including Fitzgerald, were buried at Fort McPherson on 28 March 1911. In 1938, the graves were cemented over into one large tomb (to the right of the flag pole in above image), with cement posts at the four corners connected by a chain. In the centre is a memorial to the Royal Northwest Mounted Police Patrol of 1910.

==National Historic Site==
In 1969, the area comprising the boundaries of the community of Fort McPherson, as it was mapped in 1898, was designated a [[National Historic Sites of Canada|National Historic Site of Canada]], in recognition of the fact that the site had served as the principal [[Hudson's Bay Company]] trading post in the [[Mackenzie River|MacKenzie Delta]] region for over 50 years, and had been the first [[North-West Mounted Police]] post in the [[Northern Canada|Western Arctic]].<ref>{{CRHP|1141|Fort McPherson National Historic Site of Canada|4 October 2013}}</ref>

==Transportation==
Fort McPherson is accessible by road all year from [[Dawson City]] and [[Whitehorse, Yukon|Whitehorse]], [[Yukon]], with the exception of spring break-up and fall freeze-up on the Peel River. The community also has access to Inuvik via the Dempster Highway and crosses the [[Mackenzie River]] at [[Tsiigehtchic]].

There is also a small airport at Fort McPherson, [[Fort McPherson Airport]], that has seasonal flights to [[Inuvik (Mike Zubko) Airport]] on [[Aklak Air]] when the road across the Peel is closed.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://aklakair.ca/uploads/pdf/flight_schedule.pdf |title=Flight Schedule |access-date=13 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140114025950/http://aklakair.ca/uploads/pdf/flight_schedule.pdf |archive-date=14 January 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The former [[Fort McPherson Water Aerodrome]] was listed as closed in the 15 March 2007 [[Canada Flight Supplement]].<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

==Demographics==

The first transplant was done in 2007 in [[Apollo Hospital]], [[New Delhi]].<ref>{{Cite web| title = Nepal Prime Minister Oli in hospital for 2nd kidney transplant| work = The New Indian Express| date = 3 March 2020| access-date = 17 February 2021| url = https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2020/mar/03/nepal-prime-minister-oli-in-hospital-for-2nd-kidney-transplant-2111604.html| archive-date = 5 March 2020| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200305150837/https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2020/mar/03/nepal-prime-minister-oli-in-hospital-for-2nd-kidney-transplant-2111604.html| url-status = live}}</ref> The second transplant was carried out in 2020 in [[Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital]], [[Kathmandu]]. For the second transplant, he received kidney from 32-year-old Samikshya Sangraula, who is reportedly Oli's niece by relation. A senior transplant surgeon from New Delhi, who had done his transplant in 2007, was also present to assist the procedure in Kathmandu.<ref>{{Cite web| title = After successful kidney transplant, Oli recovers at Teaching Hospital| access-date = 17 February 2021| url = https://kathmandupost.com/national/2020/03/04/prime-minister-oli-s-kidney-transplant-surgery-completed| website = Kathmandupost.com| archive-date = 19 September 2020| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200919024500/https://kathmandupost.com/national/2020/03/04/prime-minister-oli-s-kidney-transplant-surgery-completed| url-status = live}}</ref>

==Controversial claims==
Oli is known for his tongue-in-cheek remarks and use of various [[slang]] and proverbs ({{lang-ne|उखान टुक्का|translit=Ukhān ṭukkā}}), often with double meanings and criticism; some directed to his own party.<ref>{{Cite web| title = ओलीको उखान नियोजन| access-date = 14 July 2020| url = https://nepalmag.com.np/joke/2017/10/17/20171017092118| archive-date = 14 July 2020| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200714082152/https://nepalmag.com.np/joke/2017/10/17/20171017092118| url-status = live}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web| title = ओलीको नेतृत्वमा नयाँ सरकार : एमाले| work = SouryaOnline| access-date = 14 July 2020| url = https://www.souryaonline.com/2015/10/118324.html| archive-date = 14 July 2020| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200714084420/https://www.souryaonline.com/2015/10/118324.html| url-status = live}}</ref> Oli claims he learnt this technique during the [[Panchayat (Nepal)|Panchayat era]] when he was underground to entertain his colleagues.<ref name=":0" /> Sometimes he is alleged as a ''Comedian in Politics.''

}} Unexpected result, as the National Rally and their allies were originally predicted to get the most seats, but only came in third place after the NPF and Ensemble.  [[User:Chaotic Enby|Chaotic Enby]] ([[User talk:Chaotic Enby|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Chaotic Enby|contribs]]) 20:08, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

:'''Wait'''. We still need a clearer idea of what the results were; this is a ''much'' murkier situation than last week's UK vote. (where Labour clearly won a decisive majority that ''lined up'' with expectations; contrast here where we have a surprise result) Also, given that even the article linked for "relative majority" ''itself'' is called [[Plurality (voting)|Plurality]], I would recommend the blurb actually use that to avoid confusion. [[User:Nottheking|Nottheking]] ([[User talk:Nottheking|talk]]) 21:57, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

'''Wait''' the results sections is missing information once filled '''support''' [[User:Shadow4dark|Shadow4dark]] ([[User talk:Shadow4dark|talk]]) 20:22, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
* Is there a result yet? I was literally just looking at a couple of news sites, that says the far-right and fascists weren't doing as well as expected, but I didn't see any breakdowns. But hang on - I'm no expert on France politics - but the [[New Popular Front]] is alliance of over 50 political parties - including the [[Pirate Party (France)|Pirate Party]] and the [[Guadeloupe Communist Party]]? I'm not sure I get this one, compared to most countries where there's only up to a half-dozen viable parties. [[User:Nfitz|Nfitz]] ([[User talk:Nfitz|talk]]) 21:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
** There are indeed many parties under the NPF, although only four of them ([[La France Insoumise]], the [[Socialist Party (France)|Socialist Party]], [[The Greens (France)|The Greens]] and the [[French Communist Party]]) have a substantial presence in the National Assembly. [[User:Chaotic Enby|Chaotic Enby]] ([[User talk:Chaotic Enby|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Chaotic Enby|contribs]]) 21:51, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
** Hi, I'm the primary contributor to this article. There isn't an officially aggregated national result yet, but it will be published by the Ministry of the Interior later [https://www.resultats-elections.interieur.gouv.fr/legislatives2024/ensemble_geographique/index.html here] and added once that happens. The NFP is a broad electoral alliance of the main parties of the left as well as numerous smaller formations which had their candidates nominated in a small number of districts, as depicted [[:File:Répartition des circonscriptions du Nouveau Front populaire (NFP).svg|here]]. It's an unusual situation, but with such a short timeline this was agreed upon quickly to allow the parties of the left to have the best chance of getting candidates elected rather than splitting the vote in the two-round electoral system.

*I've added alt1, which to me is just the best non-confusing way to explain this result. I do wish to '''wait''' for results to be updates to a certain degree we shouldn't post a blurb saying "x coalition won" or similar when most results are not confirmed to prove this yet on our end. [[User:DarkSide830|DarkSide830]] ([[User talk:DarkSide830|talk]]) 22:07, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
*'''Wait''' According to the table in the [[2024 French legislative election#National results|National results]] section, 501 seats in the national assembly have yet to be announced, so it is too early to post. [[User:Gödel2200|Gödel2200]] ([[User talk:Gödel2200|talk]]) 22:57, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
*:The table should be updated, all but three seats have been called right now (according to [https://www.lemonde.fr/en/les-decodeurs/article/2024/07/07/2024-french-election-results-chart-and-map-of-second-round-winners_6676976_8.html Le Monde]).

*'''Oppose landslide''' as an editorialising term. "Supermajority" isn't great either as the Parliament does not operate with a supermajority system as far as I know (no equivalent of, say, the 60-vote filibuster in the US Senate).

*'''Support''' - I find it funny this was nominated before any seat was even called. It might be good to mention just how historic this win is, the worst result for the Conservative Party I believe in its entire 200 year existence.

*:The popular vote for the Conservatives was still quite substantial while the vote for Labour was little changed. The result in seats was a typical quirk of the first-past-the-post system. The main novelty is the advent of [[Reform UK]] which got the next largest popular vote and so split the centre-right vote.
*:What helped Labour is that their leader looks and sounds like a conservative -- a safe pair of hands, rather than a radical like Corbyn, a wild child like Boris or a city slicker like Rishi.

But that doesn't change the outcome that Labour have won, a fact that was confirmed in reliable sources before this was posted. And the article ''has'' been updated with this information and aftermath, and so [[WP:ITNQUALITY]] is met. We have posted other countries in a similar state i.e. where 95+% of results are known and the election result is assured.

*:Standard practice for ITN has been to post once the general outcome has been confirmed, since it's rare to instantly get total figures for every single constituent election from ''any'' country. There will always be stragglers, so yes, there will be some small gaps in the data as everyone in the world waits for those stragglers. However, it remains that all the RSes have reported that Labour has won a majority of seats, and that won't change. And Keir Starmer has already been appointed Prime Minister. [[User:Nottheking|Nottheking]] ([[User talk:Nottheking|talk]]) 20:29, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
*:I'll just reply here since this is pretty much moot. My concern is that we posted an article on an election with an entire results table left blank. Did we really need to wait until all 650 seats were called before updating it? I've seen other stories held up for far less. ~~ [[User:Jessintime|Jessintime]] ([[User talk:Jessintime|talk]]) 21:04, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

*::Records based on competing and winning (or whatever the aspect) a number of times, which the chances of improving simply increase with the person participating in more events, are records that are ripe to be broken and not really fair.

Not only does the state space grow very fast, but these numbers are inherently uncomputable, meaning you can't just throw more computing power to find them, you need to go through mathematical proofs for each Turing machine.

*'''Oppose''' primary because the target article is terribly undersourced and is the symptom of being far too technical for an encyclopedia.

*'''Oppose''' Target article is extremely poorly sourced (indeed, the main paragraph explaining it has precisely ''zero'' sources) and is not written in anything like an accessible manner; we do not expect technical articles to be dumbed down but even the introduction to this article makes assumptions that the reader knows what a halting Turing machine, its "states", or transition tables are.

*'''Oppose'''. While I'm open to posting mathematical advances, there are multiple problems with this: a) The topic is ''extremely'' esoteric and doesn't seem to have any application - the 'applications' section of the article speculates about uses in principle but indicates they are all impossible in practice. b) The fifth BB number has been known since 1990, but was only [[conjecture (mathematics)|conjecture]]d not proven [https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=8088]. While proving it now is useful, it's hardly a surprise. c) There is no formal publication of this result. The team's own website announcement [https://discuss.bbchallenge.org/t/july-2nd-2024-we-have-proved-bb-5-47-176-870/237] states "we are currently working on a human-readable paper" i.e. it hasn't been written up yet, let alone peer reviewed. A peer-reviewed publication is a requirement for posting scientific news. d) There's little to no coverage in mainstream media, I couldn't find anything beyond that Quanta article. e) The article is incomprehensible to most of our readers, who would not learn anything from clicking on that bold link.

*:It's not hard: I'm in the middle of an infinite coin row (all heads up). I read card 1 of 5. The heads up side says "1. leave tails up" "2. look to its immediate right" "3. do card 2 to it". Card 2-Heads is the same except 3. is "do card 3". Card 3-Heads is the same except 3. is "do card 4". Card 4-Heads says "1. leave tails up" "2. immediate left" "3. card 1". Card 5-Heads says tails/right/END. 1-Tails says tails/left/3 2-Tails says tails/right/2. 3-Tails is heads/left/5. 4-Tails is tails/left/4 5-Tails is heads/left/1.

*::I agree that it's pretty easy to describe how to emulate the five-state Beaver. But in order for someone to care a lot about the behavior of these "cards", we might also want to connect this to "this is one of the purest ways to model and reason about what computers do, and what computers can potentially do". And indeed "[[Church%E2%80%93Turing_thesis|the cards can do math, potentially as well as any other system can do math]]". Or maybe "computer programs' behavior is complex and hard to predict, in a very fundamental mathematical sense; people have now managed to fully analyze the behavior of some small computer programs, which was extremely difficult, and there's good reason to think humanity will never make it to the next step of fully analyzing the behavior of very slightly larger computer programs".

Along with [[Louise Glück]], who died last year and should‘ve gotten a blurb. [[Gerald Murnane]] (who you mentioned) is still alive I think, but I think he may deserve a blurb, too.

*::Murnane was a slip on my part. I think I meant [[Maryse Condé]], another blurb-worthy figure IMO. There was a similar burst of deaths just under a decade ago, with Umberto Eco, Marquez, Le Guin, Toni Morrison, etc all within a few years. For my part, I'd support Amis as a prominent public intellectual if not for the fact that it would SNOW. There was a push for an Auster blurb, but it was shut down. Even I opposed that because in the US he's a fairly well-known and unique but, in Europe (especially France), he's just a particularly skilled author of [[Nouveau roman]]s. His influence was low relative to his popularity.

When I lived in Germany, every train station had a couple paperback Auster titles available, but we’re talking 15 years ago.

But this doesn’t necessarily contradict what you said, because admittedly this “rockstar” status is kind of a publicity stunt that applied to Auster’s status in the 80s and 90s.

The NFP is a broad electoral alliance of the main parties of the left as well as numerous smaller formations which had their candidates nominated in a small number of districts, as depicted [[:File:Répartition des circonscriptions du Nouveau Front populaire (NFP).svg|here]]. It's an unusual situation, but with such a short timeline this was agreed upon quickly to allow the parties of the left to have the best chance of getting candidates elected rather than splitting the vote in the two-round electoral system.

Article appears to be in great shape; hopefully this quality will be maintained through all the official results being added. I'm somewhat neutral (mildly opposed) on whether we should bother describing the margin of the election. However, if there's an applicable ''superlative'', (e.g, it break's [[1997_United_Kingdom_general_election|Labour's old record for most seats won]]) then that would have a much more convincing argument to be mentioned on the front page.

For elections, we should stick to words that more accurately describe the result such as [[supermajority]].

*::That doesn't matter because Labour don't seem to have quite that many seats (433 is two thirds of 650).

[[user:Andrew Davidson|Andrew]]🐉([[user talk:Andrew Davidson|talk]]) 07:46, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
*'''Strong oppose landslide''' or majority or anything else. Longstanding precedent is that we don't attempt to add "nuance" or editorialisation to election results, even those that are "disputed" or "near-unanimous" or whatever, and there's no reason to deviate from that here.

*'''Oppose landslide''' as an editorialising term. "Supermajority" isn't great either as the Parliament does not operate with a supermajority system as far as I know (no equivalent of, say, the 60-vote filibuster in the US Senate). Stating that Labour won a majority by themselves (and, when confirmed, that Starmer becomes PM) is the most objective thing to do. [[User:Chaotic Enby|Chaotic Enby]] ([[User talk:Chaotic Enby|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Chaotic Enby|contribs]]) 07:39, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
*:In the Westminster system, a substantial majority is significant because it means that the PM can force through legislation without having to appease rebels and rivals in his own party. See the US House of Representatives for the difficulty of getting things done with a narrow majority. [[user:Andrew Davidson|Andrew]]🐉([[user talk:Andrew Davidson|talk]]) 07:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
*'''Support''' - I find it funny this was nominated before any seat was even called. It might be good to mention just how historic this win is, the worst result for the Conservative Party I believe in its entire 200 year existence. This is a pretty crazy result as the dominant party in UK politics is going extinct. [[User:PrecariousWorlds|PrecariousWorlds]] ([[User talk:PrecariousWorlds|talk]]) 08:30, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
*:The popular vote for the Conservatives was still quite substantial while the vote for Labour was little changed. The result in seats was a typical quirk of the first-past-the-post system. The main novelty is the advent of [[Reform UK]] which got the next largest popular vote and so split the centre-right vote.
*:What helped Labour is that their leader looks and sounds like a conservative -- a safe pair of hands, rather than a radical like Corbyn, a wild child like Boris or a city slicker like Rishi. It's interesting that our blurb calls him "Sir Keir Starmer", like a "[[knight of the shire]]s". [[user:Andrew Davidson|Andrew]]🐉([[user talk:Andrew Davidson|talk]]) 08:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

**Those look like numerical results once the full complete tally is known.

*** {{U|Jessintime}} There's currently 2 seats to go (out of 650), until those are declared, these "results" figures don't exist. But that doesn't change the outcome that Labour have won, a fact that was confirmed in reliable sources before this was posted. And the article ''has'' been updated with this information and aftermath, and so [[WP:ITNQUALITY]] is met. We have posted other countries in a similar state i.e. where 95+% of results are known and the election result is assured. [[User:Joseph2302|Joseph]][[User talk:Joseph2302|2302]] ([[User talk:Joseph2302|talk]]) 12:35, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
*:Standard practice for ITN has been to post once the general outcome has been confirmed, since it's rare to instantly get total figures for every single constituent election from ''any'' country. There will always be stragglers, so yes, there will be some small gaps in the data as everyone in the world waits for those stragglers. However, it remains that all the RSes have reported that Labour has won a majority of seats, and that won't change. And Keir Starmer has already been appointed Prime Minister. [[User:Nottheking|Nottheking]] ([[User talk:Nottheking|talk]]) 20:29, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
*:I'll just reply here since this is pretty much moot. My concern is that we posted an article on an election with an entire results table left blank. Did we really need to wait until all 650 seats were called before updating it? I've seen other stories held up for far less. ~~ [[User:Jessintime|Jessintime]] ([[User talk:Jessintime|talk]]) 21:04, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

*::::{{reply|Ericoides}} I’ve been avidly following cycling about 18 years now, and that’s why I know that this record isn’t significant at all. In multiple-day cycling races, time is what counts, not the number of stage wins. You may say whatever you want about my understanding of cycling and cite zillion sources stating that this is a big achievement, but that won’t change the established fact that these stage victories won’t help Cavendish ever win Tour de France.

*::Records based on competing and winning (or whatever the aspect) a number of times, which the chances of improving simply increase with the person participating in more events, are records that are ripe to be broken and not really fair. More approach records that would make sense are breaking race times or other measurable factors in a competitive sport, or achieving a certain type of scoring record within a single game and/or season.

It's been 41 years since progress was made on this problem, it closely relates to the limits of mathematical knowledge and mathematical proof, it was a big online volunteer collaboration over several years, and it's one of the first new mathematical results to be formalized in a proof assistant contemporaneously with its announcement (which helped other mathematicians be more confident more quickly that the result was correct). It's also very likely the largest Busy Beaver number that humanity will ever be able to discover.

Science at ITN is always great, and, as Schoen says, this is likely the largest Busy Beaver number we'll be able to discover (for two-state Turing machines at least). Not only does the state space grow very fast, but these numbers are inherently uncomputable, meaning you can't just throw more computing power to find them, you need to go through mathematical proofs for each Turing machine.

*'''Oppose''' primary because the target article is terribly undersourced and is the symptom of being far too technical for an encyclopedia.

*'''Oppose''' Target article is extremely poorly sourced (indeed, the main paragraph explaining it has precisely ''zero'' sources) and is not written in anything like an accessible manner; we do not expect technical articles to be dumbed down but even the introduction to this article makes assumptions that the reader knows what a halting Turing machine, its "states", or transition tables are.

*'''Oppose'''. While I'm open to posting mathematical advances, there are multiple problems with this: a) The topic is ''extremely'' esoteric and doesn't seem to have any application - the 'applications' section of the article speculates about uses in principle but indicates they are all impossible in practice. b) The fifth BB number has been known since 1990, but was only [[conjecture (mathematics)|conjecture]]d not proven [https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=8088]. While proving it now is useful, it's hardly a surprise. c) There is no formal publication of this result. The team's own website announcement [https://discuss.bbchallenge.org/t/july-2nd-2024-we-have-proved-bb-5-47-176-870/237] states "we are currently working on a human-readable paper" i.e. it hasn't been written up yet, let alone peer reviewed. A peer-reviewed publication is a requirement for posting scientific news. d) There's little to no coverage in mainstream media, I couldn't find anything beyond that Quanta article. e) The article is incomprehensible to most of our readers, who would not learn anything from clicking on that bold link.

And indeed "[[Church%E2%80%93Turing_thesis|the cards can do math, potentially as well as any other system can do math]]". Or maybe "computer programs' behavior is complex and hard to predict, in a very fundamental mathematical sense; people have now managed to fully analyze the behavior of some small computer programs, which was extremely difficult, and there's good reason to think humanity will never make it to the next step of fully analyzing the behavior of very slightly larger computer programs".

*'''Support Blurb on notability''' Murnane, Munro, McCarthy, Byatt, Oe, Auster, Amis, Kundera, Barth ... Out of all the notable literary deaths of the past two years, Kadare was one of the greatest. There's a bibliography, so you know what that means. [[User talk:Dilettante|Sincerely, Dilettante]] 16:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
*:So many passing recently, you’re right. I could argue (unsuccessfully of course) that all those you mentioned, except for [[A. S. Byatt]] and [[Martin Amis]], should’ve gotten blurbs. Along with [[Louise Glück]], who died last year and should‘ve gotten a blurb. [[Gerald Murnane]] (who you mentioned) is still alive I think, but I think he may deserve a blurb, too. I haven’t read anything by him yet. I think only Kundera got a blurb. And [[Paul Auster]] didn’t even get his RD posted, though it was ready to go on the last day of the deadline. [[User:Trauma Novitiate|Trauma Novitiate]] ([[User talk:Trauma Novitiate|talk]]) 04:10, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
*::Murnane was a slip on my part. I think I meant [[Maryse Condé]], another blurb-worthy figure IMO. There was a similar burst of deaths just under a decade ago, with Umberto Eco, Marquez, Le Guin, Toni Morrison, etc all within a few years. For my part, I'd support Amis as a prominent public intellectual if not for the fact that it would SNOW. There was a push for an Auster blurb, but it was shut down. Even I opposed that because in the US he's a fairly well-known and unique but, in Europe (especially France), he's just a particularly skilled author of [[Nouveau roman]]s. His influence was low relative to his popularity.
*::Murnane is IMO the second most skilled living novelist, behind Krasznahorkai,so I'd highly recommend him. [[User talk:Dilettante|Sincerely, Dilettante]] 15:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
*:::Thank you for the Maryse Condé mention. Never heard of her, but I need to check her out. I need to read Murnane, too. I’m not so sure about Paul Auster and his popularity vs. influence. When I lived in Germany, every train station had a couple paperback Auster titles available, but we’re talking 15 years ago. If you “google” Paul Auster Rockstar you’ll get a half-dozen hits from European sources (ie., https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/arts24/20240501-the-rock-star-status-of-us-writer-paul-auster-in-france). But this doesn’t necessarily contradict what you said, because admittedly this “rockstar” status is kind of a publicity stunt that applied to Auster’s status in the 80s and 90s. He’s not really read or known by Americans today. Everything I’ve read by him kind of blows me away, so I’m biased.

*'''Support''' because of the immense significance of this decision.

The '''Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant''' ('''ChNPP'''; {{Lang-uk|Чорнобильська атомна електростанція|translit=Chornobylska atomna elektrostantsiia}}; {{Lang-ru|Чернобыльская атомная электростанция|translit=Chernobylskaya atomnaya elektrostantsiya}}) is a [[nuclear power plant]] undergoing [[Nuclear decommissioning|decommissioning]]. ChNPP is located near the abandoned city of [[Pripyat]] in northern [[Ukraine]], {{convert|16.5|km|mi|0|sp=us}} northwest of the city of [[Chernobyl]], {{convert|16|km|mi|0|sp=us}} from the [[Belarus–Ukraine border]], and about {{convert|100|km|mi|0|sp=us}} north of [[Kyiv]]. The plant was cooled by an engineered pond, fed by the [[Pripyat (river)|Pripyat River]] about {{convert|5|km|mi|0|sp=us}} northwest from its juncture with the [[Dnieper]] river.

Originally named for [[Vladimir Lenin]], the plant was commissioned in phases with the four reactors entering commercial operation between 1978 and 1984. In 1986, in what became known as the [[Chernobyl disaster]], reactor No. 4 suffered a catastrophic explosion and meltdown; as a result of this, the power plant is now within a large restricted area known as the [[Chernobyl Exclusion Zone]]. Both the zone and the power plant are administered by the [[Chernobyl Exclusion Zone#Administration|State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management]]. The three other reactors remained operational post-accident maintaining a capacity factor between 60 and 70%. In total, units 1 and 3 had supplied 98 terawatt-hours of electricity each, with unit 2 slightly less at 75 TWh.<ref>{{cite web |title=PRIS – Reactor Details |url=https://pris.iaea.org/PRIS/CountryStatistics/ReactorDetails.aspx?current=575}}</ref> In 1991, unit 2 was placed into a permanent shutdown state by the plant's operator due to complications resulting from a turbine fire. This was followed by Unit 1 in 1996 and Unit 3 in 2000. Their closures were largely attributed to foreign pressures. In 2013, the plant's operator announced that units 1–3 were fully defueled, and in 2015 entered the decommissioning phase, during which equipment contaminated during the operational period of the power station will be removed. This process is expected to take until 2065 according to the plant's operator.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kyivpost.com/news/nation/detail/56391/|title=Chernobyl nuclear power plant site to be cleared by 2065|publisher=Kyiv Post|date=3 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005150746/http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/chornobyl-nuclear-power-plant-site-to-be-cleared-b-56391.html|archive-date=October 5, 2012 }}</ref> Although the reactors have all ceased generation, Chernobyl maintains a large workforce as the ongoing decommissioning process requires constant management.<ref name="Chernoby60945666">{{Cite news |date=2022-03-31 |title=Ukraine war: Russian troops leave Chernobyl, Ukraine says |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60945666 |access-date=2024-05-22 |language=en-GB}}</ref>

== Construction ==
Construction of the plant began in 1972. The Chernobyl NPP was meant to have 12 units, made up of 6 construction phases, and if completed would be the biggest nuclear power plant in the world. The plant would eventually consist of four [[RBMK-1000]] reactors, each capable of producing 1,000 [[megawatt]]s (MW) of electric power (3,200 MW of thermal power), and the four together produced about 10% of [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic|Ukraine]]'s electricity.<ref>[http://library.thinkquest.org/3426/data/introduction/location.html library.thinkquest.org] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090504090902/http://library.thinkquest.org/3426/data/introduction/location.html|date=May 4, 2009}} – All four of the reactors at the Chernobyl nuclear power station were of the RBMK-type.</ref> Like other sites which housed multiple RBMK reactors such as Kursk, the construction of the plant was also accompanied by the construction of a nearby city to house workers and their families. In the case of the ChNPP, the new city was [[Pripyat]]. Construction of the station concluded in the late 1970s, with reactor No. 1 being commissioned in 1977. It was the third Soviet RBMK nuclear power plant, after the [[Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant|Leningrad]] and [[Kursk Nuclear Power Plant|Kursk]] power plants, and the first plant on Ukrainian soil.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.history.com/news/chernobyl-disaster-timeline|title=Chernobyl Disaster: The Meltdown by the Minute|first=Jesse|last=Greenspan|website=History|access-date=2019-09-18|archive-date=2019-09-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190924030437/https://www.history.com/news/chernobyl-disaster-timeline|url-status=live}}</ref>

The completion of the first reactor in 1977 was followed by reactor No. 2 in 1978, No. 3 in 1981, and No. 4 in 1983. Two more blocks, numbered five and six, of more or less the same reactor design, were planned at a site roughly a kilometer from the contiguous buildings of the four older blocks. This is similar to the layout of units 5 and 6 at Kursk and shows the similarity in design between the RBMK sites. Reactor No. 5 was around 70% complete at the time of Reactor 4's explosion and was scheduled to come online approximately seven months later, on November 7, 1986. In the aftermath of the disaster, construction on No. 5 and 6 was suspended, and eventually cancelled on April 20, 1989, days before the third anniversary of the 1986 explosion.<ref>{{cite news |date=21 April 1989 |title=Soviets Cancel Plans for 2 New Reactors at Chernobyl |url=http://articles.latimes.com/1989-04-21/news/mn-2182_1_chernobyl-nuclear-power-station-new-reactors-western-reactors |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190627004507/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-04-21-mn-2182-story.html |archive-date=27 June 2019 |access-date=26 August 2019 |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |location=Moscow, USSR |quote="The Soviet Union has canceled plans to construct two more reactors at the stricken Chernobyl nuclear power station...The decision was announced six days before the third anniversary of the accident at Chernobyl..." |agency=Times Wire Services}}</ref> At one point six other reactors were planned on the other side of the river, bringing the total to twelve.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://medium.com/discourse/a-physicists-visit-to-chernobyl-digging-a-little-deeper-9961a906b3c1|title=A Physicist's Visit to Chernobyl: Digging a Little Deeper|date=27 June 2019 }}</ref> This would have made Chernobyl as the most powerful nuclear plant in the world if completed.{{cn|date=September 2023}}

Reactors No. 3 and 4 were [[Generation II reactor|second-generation units]], whereas No. 1 and 2 were [[Generation I reactor|first-generation units]], like those in operation at the Kursk power plant. Second-generation RBMK designs were fitted with a more secure containment structure visible in photos of the facility.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/Safety-and-Security/Safety-of-Plants/Appendices/Early-Soviet-Reactors-and-EU-Accession/|title=Early Soviet Reactors and EU Accession|date=June 2019|website=[[World Nuclear Association]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190626213457/http://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/appendices/early-soviet-reactors-and-eu-accession.aspx|archive-date=June 26, 2019|url-status=live|access-date=March 10, 2016}}</ref>

== Design ==
[[File:ChernobylMIR.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Topography of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, documented by photograph from space station [[Mir]] in 1997]]

=== Electrical systems ===
The power plant is connected to the 330 kV and 750 kV [[electrical grid]]. The block has two [[electrical generator]]s connected to the 750 kV grid by a single generator transformer. The generators are connected to their common transformer by two switches in series. Between them, the unit transformers are connected to supply power to the power plant's own systems; each generator can therefore be connected to the unit transformer to power the plant, or to the unit transformer and the generator transformer to also feed power to the grid.<ref name="techappr">{{cite book |author=British Nuclear Energy Society |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oEqd0IeAhccC&pg=PA11 |title=Chernobyl: a technical appraisal: proceedings of the seminar organized by the British Nuclear Energy Society held in London on 3 October 1986 |publisher=Thomas Telford Ltd |year=1987 |isbn=978-0-7277-0394-1 |location=London, England |access-date=June 27, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211214002828/https://books.google.com/books?id=oEqd0IeAhccC&pg=PA11 |archive-date=14 December 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The 330 kV line was normally not used, and served as an external power supply, connected to a station's transformer – meaning to the power plant's electrical systems. The plant was powered by its own generators, or at any event got power from the 750 kV national grid through the main grid backup feed in transformer, or from the 330 kV level feed in grid transformer 2, or from the other power plant blocks via two reserve [[busbar]]s. In case of total external power loss, the essential systems could be powered by [[diesel generator]]s. Each unit's transformer is therefore connected to two 6 kV main power line switchboards, A and B (e.g., 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B for generators 7 and 8), powering principal essential systems and connected to even another transformer at 4 kV, which is backed up twice (4 kV reserve busbar).<ref name="techappr"/>

The 7A, 7B, and 8B boards are also connected to the three essential power lines (for the coolant pumps), each also having its own diesel generator. In case of a coolant circuit failure with simultaneous loss of external power, the essential power can be supplied by spinning down turbogenerators for about 45 to 50 seconds, during which time the diesel generators should start. The generators were started automatically within 15 seconds at loss of off-site power.<ref name="techappr"/>

=== Turbo generators ===
[[File:Chernobyl_Power_Station_aerial_view.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Computer-generated synthesis drawing of all 4 units prior to the accident viewed from NW]]
Electrical energy was generated by a pair of 2x500 MW [[hydrogen-cooled turbo generator]]s per unit. These are located in the {{convert|600|m|ft|0}}-long machine hall, adjacent to the reactor building. The turbines—the venerable five-cylinder K-500-65/3000—were supplied by the [[Kharkiv]] turbine plant; the electrical generators are the TBB-500. The turbine and the generator rotors are mounted on the same shaft; the combined weight of the rotors is almost {{convert|200|t|ST}} and their speed was 3,000 [[revolutions per minute]].<ref name="rosenergo">{{cite web|url=http://snpp.rosenergoatom.ru/eng/about/production/|title=Energoatom Concern OJSC Smolensk NPP About the Plant Generation|language=ru|publisher=Snpp.rosenergoatom.ru|date=April 30, 2008|access-date=March 22, 2010}}{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>{{failed verification|date=January 2017}}

The [[turbo generator]] is {{convert|39|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} long and its total weight is {{convert|1200|t|ST|abbr=on}}. The coolant flow for each turbine is 82,880 t/h. The generator produced 20 kV 50 Hz AC power. The generator's stator was cooled by water while its rotor was cooled by [[hydrogen]]. The hydrogen for the generators was manufactured on-site by [[electrolysis]].<ref name="rosenergo"/> The design and reliability of the turbines earned them the State Prize of Ukraine for 1979.

The Kharkiv turbine plant later developed a new version of the turbine, K-500-65/3000-2, in an attempt to reduce use of valuable metal. The Chernobyl plant was equipped with both types of turbines; block 4 had the newer ones. The newer turbines, however, turned out to be more sensitive to their operating parameters, and their [[bearing (mechanical)|bearings]] had frequent problems with vibrations.<ref name="vibrationspecialists">{{cite web |title=Последняя командировка – Архив – Forum on pripyat.com |url=http://forum.pripyat.com/archive/index.php/t-2030.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160131105355/http://forum.pripyat.com/archive/index.php/t-2030.html |archive-date=January 31, 2016 |access-date=March 22, 2010 |publisher=Forum.pripyat.com}}</ref>

=== 1982 reactor #1 partial meltdown ===
On 9 September 1982, a partial [[nuclear meltdown|core meltdown]] occurred in reactor No. 1 due to a faulty cooling valve remaining closed following maintenance. Once the reactor came online, the uranium in the tank overheated and ruptured. The extent of the damage was comparatively minor, and no one was killed during the accident. However, due to the negligence of the operators, the accident was not noticed until several hours later, resulting in significant release of radiation in the form of fragments of uranium oxide and several other radioactive isotopes escaping with steam from the reactor via the ventilation stack. The accident was not made public until several years later, despite cleanups taking place in and around the power station and Pripyat. The reactor was repaired and put back into operation after eight months.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WwPJDwAAQBAJ&q=rbmk+serpentinite&pg=PA61|title=Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster|first=Adam|last=Higginbotham|date=February 4, 2020|publisher=Simon and Schuster|isbn=9781501134630|via=Google Books|access-date=May 3, 2021|archive-date=September 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210901025133/https://books.google.com/books?id=WwPJDwAAQBAJ&q=rbmk+serpentinite&pg=PA61|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== 1984 reactor #3 and #4 incident ===

According to the same documents, the central government in Moscow knew as early as 1983 that the powerplant was "one of the most dangerous nuclear powerplants in the USSR". It had to do with the building's integrity. The room which housed the steam separators, got as hot as 270 degrees Celsius. That caused the concrete of the building to shift its position, which made the building unsafe and could also result in the collapse of the steam separators, which would then fall onto the reactor hall, causing a nuclear meltdown.

=== 1986 reactor #4 catastrophe (Chernobyl disaster) ===
{{Main article|Chernobyl disaster}}
On 26 April 1986, reactor No. 4 suffered catastrophic [[Nuclear meltdown|meltdown]] resulting in a core explosion and open-air fires. This caused large quantities of radioactive materials to be dispersed in the atmosphere and surrounding land. The disaster is regarded as the worst accident in the history of nuclear power.

The destroyed reactor was encased in [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant sarcophagus|a concrete and lead sarcophagus]], followed more recently by [[Chernobyl New Safe Confinement|a large steel confinement shelter]] to prevent further escape of radioactivity. The radioactive cloud spread as far away as Norway.<ref name="MedvedevZ">{{Cite book|last=Medvedev|first=Zhores A.|title=The Legacy of Chernobyl|publisher=W. W.

I noticed that nobody was talking about a foiled coup yesterday in Ukraine that major news outlets are talking about so I decided to make a page for it, I feel that this is just as notable as any other coup and should be included ''in the news.'' [[User:Scu ba|Scu ba]] ([[User talk:Scu ba|talk]]) 00:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

'''Oppose''' There have been a few assassination plots targeting the president as well over the past 2 years. And I believe there was a coup plot foiled shortly before the war. So unless something is at least attempted, like in Bolivia, I don't think it's worth posting. [[User:Scaramouche33|Scaramouche33]] ([[User talk:Scaramouche33|talk]]) 05:05, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

}} I guess the article needs work to be understandable to non-experts and should highlight more about the new discovery, but I think this is a big deal for computer science and mathematics. It's been 41 years since progress was made on this problem, it closely relates to the limits of mathematical knowledge and mathematical proof, it was a big online volunteer collaboration over several years, and it's one of the first new mathematical results to be formalized in a proof assistant contemporaneously with its announcement (which helped other mathematicians be more confident more quickly that the result was correct). It's also very likely the largest Busy Beaver number that humanity will ever be able to discover. So this is potentially the only progress on this problem that Wikipedia will ever be able to announce! [[User:Schoen|Schoen]] ([[User talk:Schoen|talk]]) 23:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

:'''Support''' just beat me too it! Big thing in computer science tho [[User:Ion.want.uu|Ion.want.uu]] ([[User talk:Ion.want.uu|talk]]) 23:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
:'''Support''' Wow! Didn't follow it too closely, I'm surprised it was actually discovered. Science at ITN is always great, and, as Schoen says, this is likely the largest Busy Beaver number we'll be able to discover (for two-state Turing machines at least). Not only does the state space grow very fast, but these numbers are inherently uncomputable, meaning you can't just throw more computing power to find them, you need to go through mathematical proofs for each Turing machine. By the way, for anyone curious, the number is 47 176 870.

*'''Oppose''' primary because the target article is terribly undersourced and is the symptom of being far too technical for an encyclopedia. Besides that, I'd like to see at least either a peer-review article or a more mainstream news source covering this, because as the Quantum article points out, this is more a curiosity than a breakthrough in mathematics. --[[User:Masem|Masem]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 02:00, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

*'''Comment''': I thought about nominating this article. One notable aspect about this hurricane is that it is the earliest <s>Category 4</s> Category 5 on record in the Atlantic Ocean. If this gets posted, this information might be worth mentioning in the blurb. I have proposed an alt (which might need some tweaks). --[[User:Classicwiki|Classicwiki]] ([[User talk:Classicwiki|talk]]) If you reply to me here, please [[Help:Notifications|ping me]]. 21:21, 1 July 2024 (UTC) Updated alt. --[[User:Classicwiki|Classicwiki]] ([[User talk:Classicwiki|talk]]) If you reply to me here, please [[Help:Notifications|ping me]]. 16:53, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
*'''Wait/Oppose'''. Full impacts aren't known yet, however the article body does not yet substantiate the "extensive damage" claim at the moment. The record, while interesting, is very much trivia, and a record for being category 4 is obscure. Cat 5 maybe we can talk, but not a category 4 record. [[User:DarkSide830|DarkSide830]] ([[User talk:DarkSide830|talk]]) 21:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
*:It is a category 5. It got up to 165 mph. [[User:WestVirginiaWX|West Virginia WXeditor]] ([[User talk:WestVirginiaWX|talk]]) 17:19, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

*'''Wait''': Per others. At time of writing this, further land impacts are likely to occur in the coming week per the NHC forecast and model guidance. The full extent of this storm's impact has yet to be seen. '''Comment''': Additionally, Beryl has recently attained category 5 intensity, breaking [[Hurricane Emily (2005)|Hurricane Emily]]'s record for earliest cat 5 storm in basin, though it is not expected to impact any land as a cat 5 storm.

*'''Wait''' for impacts to be known, and for potential subsequent landfalls. While it is true that this storm is remarkable from a meteorological perspective, ITN posts based on the real world effects a storm has on populated areas.

*'''Wait/Oppose''' A large hurricane in the middle of the ocean that isn't forecasted to make another landfall until it weakens substantially due to a significant amount of sheer in its path isn't quite notable enough for blurbing.

*:So many passing recently, you’re right. I could argue (unsuccessfully of course) that all those you mentioned, except for [[A. S. Byatt]] and [[Martin Amis]], should’ve gotten blurbs. Along with [[Louise Glück]], who died last year and should‘ve gotten a blurb. [[Gerald Murnane]] (who you mentioned) is still alive I think, but I think he may deserve a blurb, too.

*::Murnane was a slip on my part. I think I meant [[Maryse Condé]], another blurb-worthy figure IMO. There was a similar burst of deaths just under a decade ago, with Umberto Eco, Marquez, Le Guin, Toni Morrison, etc all within a few years. For my part, I'd support Amis as a prominent public intellectual if not for the fact that it would SNOW. There was a push for an Auster blurb, but it was shut down. Even I opposed that because in the US he's a fairly well-known and unique but, in Europe (especially France), he's just a particularly skilled author of [[Nouveau roman]]s. His influence was low relative to his popularity.

*'''Old Man Dies''' One sentence update about a Tirana hospital, years of ill health and reaching 88. Mundane obituary stuff.

*::Old Man Dies is simply shorthand for the repeatedly shot-down sorts of obituaries that keep popping up around here, as if they're legitimate media events. There's no state funeral, no plausible sidebar potential and generally no reason to stay posted for a week or more alongside earthquakes, sporting celebrations and scientific breakthroughs. ''Especially'' where dozens of other notable recent dead cycle along underneath in the meanwhile, for doing the exact same thing. If you want to try and psychoanalyze an author of my depths from a mere quip, "be my guest", but you're going to get a lot wrong.

:'''Oppose blurb'''. I find it dubious that a person whom not many know is blurbed just because his peers praised him, while many people whom everyone knows, like Donald Sutherland, Christopher Plummer, Kirk Douglas and Olivia de Havilland, Cormac Maccarthy, Vangelis, to a lesser extent William Hurt, Angela Lanesbury, Harry Bellafonte.
:He hasn't even got a Nobel Prize, we didn't blurb a great many guys who had one.

* '''Oppose''' - total of one sentence in the entire bolded article referencing the news item. Not to get [[WP:CRYSTALBALL]], but this is a symbolic move that likely will not have many consequences, similar to Putin's arrest warrant (other than restricting travel). In particular, the NYT article states, "That makes it highly unlikely that Mr. Shoigu and General Gerasimov will be taken into custody in the foreseeable future". Also covered by the Ongoing section; could be considered part of the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]]. Finally, another article for the arrest warrants does not yet exist (as exists at [[International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova]]), and including that article in the blurb, or at least mentioning the subjects of the warrants, would be more appropriate.

*'''Oppose''' The last time ITN was fooled into posting something like this, the most significant consequence was Main Page readers having to look at Putin smiling at them for an unreasonably (and perhaps uncomfortably) long time; I don't know what these guys look like, but I'm pretty ''anyone'' smiling in an official portrait is the entirely wrong look for this harmless-yet-ill-intended sort of news.

*Oh what a mess. I think the main difficulty here is that there's no specific date tied to when this controversy began. Moreover, the article doesn't currently mention any real protests.

Larry Bogart

1779Days:

'''Larry Bogart''' (January 20, 1914 – August 19, 1991) was a [[United States|U.S.]] independent critic of the [[nuclear power]] industry. Bogart abandoned a career in [[public relations]] in the mid-1960s to organize community groups and speak out about the problems of the "peaceful atom".<ref name=ny>Keith Schneider. [https://www.nytimes.com/1991/08/20/us/larry-bogart-an-influential-critic-of-nuclear-power-is-dead-at-77.html Larry Bogart, an Influential Critic Of Nuclear Power, Is Dead at 77] ''The New York Times'', August 20, 1991.</ref><ref name=no/>

In 1966, Bogart founded the Citizens Energy Council, a coalition of environmental groups that published the newsletters "Radiation Perils," "Watch on the A.E.C." and "Nuclear Opponents". These publications argued that "nuclear power plants were too complex, too expensive and so inherently unsafe they would one day prove to be a financial disaster and a health hazard," The Larry Bogart Archives are located at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, University of Connecticut and consist of correspondence, administrative records, press releases, news clippings, fliers, legal documents, scientific reports, government reports, newsletters, periodicals, typescripts, interviews, maps, books, audio recordings and photographs. The bulk of the collection dates from 1966 to 1986. The collection chronicles the extent of information available on nuclear energy as it was being published and circulated in local newspapers, government reports, books by American and European publishers, popular periodicals, the alternative press, and by individuals.<ref name=ny/><ref name=no>Anna Gyorgy (1980).

Years later, Balvina's brother and Anjelica's male cousin Conrado Juarez admitted to torturing, raping, and [[Sodomy|sodomizing]] the child before [[Asphyxia|smothering]] her. Juarez, who was 30 years old at the time of the murder, had bound Anjelica to a table in his sister's apartment, and had deprived her of water on multiple occasions. Juarez claimed he originally did not intend to kill her, but then suffocated her with a pillow after she cried out during her rape. Juarez immediately informed Juarez-Ramirez that their cousin was dead, and his sister insisted that they dispose of the body.<ref name=confesses/> Anjelica's body was placed in a [[cooler]], and the siblings took a car service to Manhattan to dump the cooler.<ref name=reveals/><ref name= network/>

They feared that if it was discovered that some were in the country without documentation during the course of an investigation, they would be [[deportation|deported]].<ref name=report2>{{cite news|last1=Dahl|first1=Julia|title="Baby Hope" Case: Why didn't anyone in Anjelica Castillo's family ever report her missing?|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/baby-hope-case-why-didnt-anyone-in-anjelica-castillos-family-ever-report-her-missing/|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=48 Crimesider|publisher=CBS|date=15 October 2013}}</ref>

==Discovery==

Anjelica's [[decomposition|decomposing]] body was discovered on July 23, 1991, inside a navy blue [[cooler]] along the [[Henry Hudson Parkway]] in Manhattan, New York. The body was so decomposed that identification was at first impossible, as her face was not recognizable—she soon came to be known as "Baby Hope".<ref name=report/><ref name=killer/> She was naked, and had been bound with both [[rope]] and a [[Window blind|Venetian blind]] cord. She was placed in a [[fetal position]] with her hands pressed together.<ref name=killer>{{cite news|last1=Daly|first1=Michael|title=Baby Hope Killer Confesses After 22 Years|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/13/baby-hope-killer-confesses-after-22-years.html|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=The Daily Beast|date=13 October 2013}}</ref> The body was then wrapped in a [[Bin bag|garbage bag]] and placed inside the cooler, which was filled with unopened [[Soft drink|soda]] cans and water (which was presumably [[Ice cube|ice]] at one time). Examiners concluded that "Baby Hope" was possibly Hispanic, had dark, wavy hair in a [[ponytail]], was [[Malnutrition|malnourished]] (weighing only {{convert|28|lb|kg|abbr=off}}), was a victim of sexual abuse, and had died on or about July 18.<ref name=network/><ref name=killer/> She was initially estimated to have been between three and five years old.<ref name=nypd>{{cite news|title=NYPD REOPENING 20-YEAR-OLD COLD CASE OF BABY HOPE|url=http://7online.com/archive/9181896/|access-date=11 September 2014|agency=Eyewitness News 7|publisher=ABC|date=23 July 2013}}</ref>

After examination was completed, and the case remained unsolved, police provided the money in 1993 to have the victim buried after a public funeral was held.<ref name=confesses>{{cite news|author1=Paddock, Barry |author2=Tracy, Robert |author3=Parascandola, Rocco |author4=Schapiro, Robert |title='Baby Hope' case: Cousin confesses to sexually assaulting, killing toddler Anjelica Castillo more than two decades ago|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/relative-arrested-baby-hope-case-article-1.1483690|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=New York Daily News|date=13 October 2013}}</ref> A casket was donated in which to bury the little girl, and her headstone was marked as "Baby Hope". One of the officers who was investigating the case gave a [[eulogy]]. Two hundred people attended.<ref name=killer/>
{{clear}}

==Investigation==
After the remains were originally discovered, a witness told authorities that she had seen a [[Hispanic]] man and woman carrying a cooler in the location where the body was found, prior to the discovery, around the time the girl was estimated to have been murdered. A few months later, in the autumn of 1991, some [[child pornography|suggestive images of a nude child]] were located in New Jersey, which some believed might have been "Baby Hope", as the girl in the photographs matched the victim's description.<ref name=network>{{cite web|title=Case File 50UFNY|url=http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/50ufny.html|website=doenetwork.org|publisher=[[The Doe Network]]|access-date=10 September 2014}}</ref>

"Baby Hope's" body was exhumed in 2006, and again in 2011 to obtain DNA information.<ref name=confesses/> Authorities reopened the case in 2013, and requested information from the public. The tip that broke the case came from an anonymous woman who told authorities that she had overheard a conversation two years prior between a mother and another person regarding the disappearance of her daughter.<ref name=mother>{{cite news|last1=Weiss|first1=Murray|title=Baby Hope's Mother Identified 22 Years After Notorious Murder Of 4-Year-Old Girl In NYC|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/08/baby-hope-mother-identified-murder-new-york_n_4063017.html|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=Huffington Post|date=10 October 2013}}</ref> This information led investigators to Margarita Castillo, and DNA comparisons confirmed that she was the mother of "Baby Hope"—who could now be identified as Anjelica Castillo.<ref name=nypd/>

=== Identification and arrest of Conrado Juarez ===
{{quotebox|width=25%|align=left|quote="She wasn't missing; her father took them [her children] away and maybe that was my mistake, let him take them away. I did not go to the police because I was afraid of not being heard. I was afraid, not knowing the language." -Margarita Castillo, mother of the victim}}

Once investigators had identified Anjelica and her family, further effort led them to the names of her paternal cousins – 52-year-old Conrado Juarez and his now deceased sister, Balvina Juarez-Ramirez. Juarez was questioned by detectives after being located working as a dishwasher in a restaurant in Manhattan. The subsequent interrogation led to his arrest for the crime.<ref name=confesses/><ref name=killer/> He was subsequently charged with [[felony murder]].<ref name=confesses/> Police stated that they also suspect that Anjelica may not have been Juarez's only victim.<ref name=reveals/>

When first interviewed by reporters, Margarita Castillo refused to show her face, and spoke through a closed door. She gave her explanation of why Anjelica was not reported missing, and also described her devastation when she learned of the fate of Anjelica, and her anger toward Juarez. She was subjected to criticism throughout the community for not reporting anything about Anjelica's disappearance.<ref name=devastated/><ref name=out>{{cite news|author1=Sandoval, Edgar |author2=Marcius, Chelsia Rose |author3=Parascandola, Rocco |author4=Moore, Tina |title=Baby Hope's mom speaks out after arrest in daughter's murder: 'I'm devastated'|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/slain-baby-hope-mom-speaks-devastated-article-1.1484798|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=New York Daily News|date=14 October 2013}}</ref>

Some members and friends of Anjelica's family had never known she had even existed.<ref name=devastated/> Anjelica's sister, Laurencita Ramirez, spoke to reporters about the case. When she was 11, she learned about Anjelica's existence, and about her abduction by their father years earlier.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sister of 'Baby Hope': I wish I had met her|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20131015/us-baby-hope/|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=Huffington Post|date=15 October 2013}}</ref> Ramirez stated that she did not become familiar with "Baby Hope" until the case was reopened and publicized in 2013. When she saw the artist recreations in the media, she saw a resemblance between the victim and herself, and wondered if the still unidentified "Baby Hope" might be the missing sister she had heard about.<ref name=sister/>

When Anjelica was first identified, her father, Genaro Ramirez, was believed to be involved in her death, until Juarez confessed. To date, Genaro Ramirez has never been located, but is believed to reside in [[Puebla, Puebla|Puebla, Mexico]], and may still be unaware of what happened to his daughter after he gave her to Juarez.<ref name=report/><ref name=reveals/> Juarez later claimed his confession was coerced and told a different account of Castillo's death, claiming his sister asked for assistance after the girl died from falling down the stairs. He later entered a "not guilty" plea when charged with second degree murder.<ref>{{cite news |title=Suspected Baby Hope killer dies at Nyack Hospital |url=https://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/rockland/2018/11/20/suspected-baby-hope-killer-conrado-juarez-dies-nyack-hospital/2064317002/ |access-date=23 November 2018 |work=lohud.com |agency=USA Today |date=20 November 2018 |language=en}}</ref> Juarez died in police custody on November 18, 2018 at 6:24 am, from pancreatic cancer.<ref name="dies" />

==Death==
Castillo's abusive father, Genaro Ramirez, had taken two of his three young children and disappeared; her mother, Margarita Castillo, believed that he had taken Anjelica and her sister and returned to his native Mexico.<ref name=sister>{{cite news|author1=Lorena Mongelli |author2=Reuven Fenton |author3=Bruce Golding|title=My sister, Baby Hope|url=https://nypost.com/2013/10/14/what-baby-hope-would-have-grown-up-to-look-like/|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=New York Post|date=14 October 2013}}</ref><ref name=devastated>{{cite news|last1=Fenton|first1=Reuvan|title=Baby Hope's mom 'devastated'|url=https://nypost.com/2013/10/14/baby-hopes-mom-devastated-after-torture-revealed/|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=New York Post|date=14 October 2013}}</ref> In reality, he left Anjelica in New York, taking her to stay with the children's adult female cousin, Balvina Juarez-Ramirez, who lived in a house in [[Astoria, Queens]].<ref name=confesses/><ref name=sister/>

Years later, Balvina's brother and Anjelica's male cousin Conrado Juarez admitted to torturing, raping, and [[Sodomy|sodomizing]] the child before [[Asphyxia|smothering]] her. Juarez, who was 30 years old at the time of the murder, had bound Anjelica to a table in his sister's apartment, and had deprived her of water on multiple occasions. Juarez claimed he originally did not intend to kill her, but then suffocated her with a pillow after she cried out during her rape. Juarez immediately informed Juarez-Ramirez that their cousin was dead, and his sister insisted that they dispose of the body.<ref name=confesses/> Anjelica's body was placed in a [[cooler]], and the siblings took a car service to Manhattan to dump the cooler.<ref name=reveals/><ref name= network/>

Anjelica's mother, Margarita, believing Castillo to be in Mexico with her father, and also unable to communicate in English, never reported her missing.<ref name=confesses/><ref name=reveals>{{cite news|title=Mom of "Baby Hope" Reveals Why She Didn't Call Police|url=http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Mom-of-Baby-Hope-Interview-Explains-Didnt-Call-Police-Anjelica-227826221.html|access-date=10 September 2014|date=16 October 2013}}</ref> Margarita did claim that she and her family had searched for her daughter, but were unable to locate her, for which she became the subject of much criticism and anger when Anjelica was identified in 2013.<ref name=sister/> Other reports reveal that her family also neglected to report her missing because some of the family members, including Margarita, were apparently [[Illegal immigration|undocumented immigrants]]. They feared that if it was discovered that some were in the country without documentation during the course of an investigation, they would be [[deportation|deported]].<ref name=report2>{{cite news|last1=Dahl|first1=Julia|title="Baby Hope" Case: Why didn't anyone in Anjelica Castillo's family ever report her missing?|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/baby-hope-case-why-didnt-anyone-in-anjelica-castillos-family-ever-report-her-missing/|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=48 Crimesider|publisher=CBS|date=15 October 2013}}</ref>

==Discovery==

Anjelica's [[decomposition|decomposing]] body was discovered on July 23, 1991, inside a navy blue [[cooler]] along the [[Henry Hudson Parkway]] in Manhattan, New York. The body was so decomposed that identification was at first impossible, as her face was not recognizable—she soon came to be known as "Baby Hope".<ref name=report/><ref name=killer/> She was naked, and had been bound with both [[rope]] and a [[Window blind|Venetian blind]] cord. She was placed in a [[fetal position]] with her hands pressed together.<ref name=killer>{{cite news|last1=Daly|first1=Michael|title=Baby Hope Killer Confesses After 22 Years|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/13/baby-hope-killer-confesses-after-22-years.html|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=The Daily Beast|date=13 October 2013}}</ref> The body was then wrapped in a [[Bin bag|garbage bag]] and placed inside the cooler, which was filled with unopened [[Soft drink|soda]] cans and water (which was presumably [[Ice cube|ice]] at one time). Examiners concluded that "Baby Hope" was possibly Hispanic, had dark, wavy hair in a [[ponytail]], was [[Malnutrition|malnourished]] (weighing only {{convert|28|lb|kg|abbr=off}}), was a victim of sexual abuse, and had died on or about July 18.<ref name=network/><ref name=killer/> She was initially estimated to have been between three and five years old.<ref name=nypd>{{cite news|title=NYPD REOPENING 20-YEAR-OLD COLD CASE OF BABY HOPE|url=http://7online.com/archive/9181896/|access-date=11 September 2014|agency=Eyewitness News 7|publisher=ABC|date=23 July 2013}}</ref>

After examination was completed, and the case remained unsolved, police provided the money in 1993 to have the victim buried after a public funeral was held.<ref name=confesses>{{cite news|author1=Paddock, Barry |author2=Tracy, Robert |author3=Parascandola, Rocco |author4=Schapiro, Robert |title='Baby Hope' case: Cousin confesses to sexually assaulting, killing toddler Anjelica Castillo more than two decades ago|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/relative-arrested-baby-hope-case-article-1.1483690|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=New York Daily News|date=13 October 2013}}</ref> A casket was donated in which to bury the little girl, and her headstone was marked as "Baby Hope". One of the officers who was investigating the case gave a [[eulogy]]. Two hundred people attended.<ref name=killer/>
{{clear}}

==Investigation==
After the remains were originally discovered, a witness told authorities that she had seen a [[Hispanic]] man and woman carrying a cooler in the location where the body was found, prior to the discovery, around the time the girl was estimated to have been murdered. A few months later, in the autumn of 1991, some [[child pornography|suggestive images of a nude child]] were located in New Jersey, which some believed might have been "Baby Hope", as the girl in the photographs matched the victim's description.<ref name=network>{{cite web|title=Case File 50UFNY|url=http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/50ufny.html|website=doenetwork.org|publisher=[[The Doe Network]]|access-date=10 September 2014}}</ref>

"Baby Hope's" body was exhumed in 2006, and again in 2011 to obtain DNA information.<ref name=confesses/> Authorities reopened the case in 2013, and requested information from the public. The tip that broke the case came from an anonymous woman who told authorities that she had overheard a conversation two years prior between a mother and another person regarding the disappearance of her daughter.<ref name=mother>{{cite news|last1=Weiss|first1=Murray|title=Baby Hope's Mother Identified 22 Years After Notorious Murder Of 4-Year-Old Girl In NYC|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/08/baby-hope-mother-identified-murder-new-york_n_4063017.html|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=Huffington Post|date=10 October 2013}}</ref> This information led investigators to Margarita Castillo, and DNA comparisons confirmed that she was the mother of "Baby Hope"—who could now be identified as Anjelica Castillo.<ref name=nypd/>

=== Identification and arrest of Conrado Juarez ===
{{quotebox|width=25%|align=left|quote="She wasn't missing; her father took them [her children] away and maybe that was my mistake, let him take them away. I did not go to the police because I was afraid of not being heard. I was afraid, not knowing the language." -Margarita Castillo, mother of the victim}}

Once investigators had identified Anjelica and her family, further effort led them to the names of her paternal cousins – 52-year-old Conrado Juarez and his now deceased sister, Balvina Juarez-Ramirez. Juarez was questioned by detectives after being located working as a dishwasher in a restaurant in Manhattan. The subsequent interrogation led to his arrest for the crime.<ref name=confesses/><ref name=killer/> He was subsequently charged with [[felony murder]].<ref name=confesses/> Police stated that they also suspect that Anjelica may not have been Juarez's only victim.<ref name=reveals/>

When first interviewed by reporters, Margarita Castillo refused to show her face, and spoke through a closed door. She gave her explanation of why Anjelica was not reported missing, and also described her devastation when she learned of the fate of Anjelica, and her anger toward Juarez. She was subjected to criticism throughout the community for not reporting anything about Anjelica's disappearance.<ref name=devastated/><ref name=out>{{cite news|author1=Sandoval, Edgar |author2=Marcius, Chelsia Rose |author3=Parascandola, Rocco |author4=Moore, Tina |title=Baby Hope's mom speaks out after arrest in daughter's murder: 'I'm devastated'|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/slain-baby-hope-mom-speaks-devastated-article-1.1484798|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=New York Daily News|date=14 October 2013}}</ref>

Some members and friends of Anjelica's family had never known she had even existed.<ref name=devastated/> Anjelica's sister, Laurencita Ramirez, spoke to reporters about the case. When she was 11, she learned about Anjelica's existence, and about her abduction by their father years earlier.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sister of 'Baby Hope': I wish I had met her|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20131015/us-baby-hope/|access-date=10 September 2014|agency=Huffington Post|date=15 October 2013}}</ref> Ramirez stated that she did not become familiar with "Baby Hope" until the case was reopened and publicized in 2013. When she saw the artist recreations in the media, she saw a resemblance between the victim and herself, and wondered if the still unidentified "Baby Hope" might be the missing sister she had heard about.<ref name=sister/>

When Anjelica was first identified, her father, Genaro Ramirez, was believed to be involved in her death, until Juarez confessed. To date, Genaro Ramirez has never been located, but is believed to reside in [[Puebla, Puebla|Puebla, Mexico]], and may still be unaware of what happened to his daughter after he gave her to Juarez.<ref name=report/><ref name=reveals/> Juarez later claimed his confession was coerced and told a different account of Castillo's death, claiming his sister asked for assistance after the girl died from falling down the stairs. He later entered a "not guilty" plea when charged with second degree murder.<ref>{{cite news |title=Suspected Baby Hope killer dies at Nyack Hospital |url=https://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/rockland/2018/11/20/suspected-baby-hope-killer-conrado-juarez-dies-nyack-hospital/2064317002/ |access-date=23 November 2018 |work=lohud.com |agency=USA Today |date=20 November 2018 |language=en}}</ref> Juarez died in police custody on November 19, 2018, from pancreatic cancer.<ref name="dies" />

== History ==
===Origins as Breed Automotive Corporation ===
JSS was initially founded as Breed Corporation in 1961 by Allen K. Breed as a defense-oriented producer of ammunition components, including mortar fuses.<ref name="kss-history" /> In 1968 Breed Corporation, using their fuse technology developed an electromechanical airbag sensor.<ref name="allen-breed-history">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/14/business/allen-k-breed-72-a-developer-of-air-bag-technology-for-cars.html|title=Allen K. Breed, 72, a Developer Of Air Bag Technology for Cars|author=Ravo, Nick|date=January 14, 2000|access-date=April 19, 2018|publisher=NYTimes}}</ref> The sensor was not widely used until mid-1980s when the United States government had a federal mandate for [[automobile safety|passive restraint systems]]. Following Breed Corporation's success in developing the first automotive crash sensor in 1984, the airbag sensor part of the corporation was spun off as its own corporation in 1986 as Breed Automotive Corporation (BAC).<ref name="kss-history" />

In 1991, the [[United States Congress]] decreed that all new cars must be equipped with [[airbag]]s by 1997. In the same year, BAC changed its name to Breed Technologies, Inc (BTI) and went public on the New York Stock Exchange in November 1992.<ref name="kss-history" /> In 1997, Allen Breed retired as CEO, but continued to serve the company as Chairman Emeritus until his death on December 13, 1999.<ref name="allen-breed-history" /> Breed's wife, Johnnie Breed, would take over as CEO.<ref name="kss-history" />

Between the years of 1994 and 1998, BTI had spent $1.1 billion (equivalent to ${{Inflation|US|1.1|1994|r=2}} billion in {{Inflation-year|US}}) to acquire 11 different companies attempting to expand BTI's influence in the automotive component market. Among those were the acquisitions in 1997 of two car-related units from [[AlliedSignal]].<ref name="NYTimesBuyout">{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/09/03/business/allied-signal-agrees-to-sell-2-auto-units.html|title=Allied Signal Agrees to Sell 2 Auto Units|last=Gilpin|first=Kenneth|date=September 3, 1997|work=The New York Times|access-date=March 5, 2019}}</ref> AlliedSignal established a major presence in the automotive safety restraint market through its Safety Restraints (SRS) operations. The firm was the only supplier of automotive seatbelts and airbags at the time that had complete vertical operations, from fiber extrusion through finished product. SRS Plant in Knoxville performing all fabric weaving and finishing operations for airbag and seatbelt fabrics while SRS plants in Maryville and Greenville performed the cutting, sewing and final assembly of components. Which were then delivered to customers such as General Motors, Suzuki and Chrysler Corp. among others.<ref name="NYTimesBuyout" />

In September 1999, BTI filed for [[Chapter 11]] [[bankruptcy]] as a result of the massive debt it took on to acquire those companies, and the fiscal losses it faced in 1998.<ref name="kss-history" />

=== Renamed to Key Safety Systems ===
In April 2003, BTI was bought by Carlyle Management Group (CMG) for between $300 and $315 million. CMG moved BTI's headquarters from [[Lakeland, Florida]] to [[Sterling Heights, Michigan]].<ref name="kss-history" /> In September 2003, CMG announced that BTI would be renamed to Key Safety Systems (KSS). The name change was to show KSS's unification with CMG's other affiliates under the Key Automotive Group brand.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.carlyle.com/media-room/news-release-archive/breed-technologies-inc-changes-name-key-safety-systems-inc-and|title=Breed Technologies, Inc.

KSS continued to operate under Key Automotive Group until it was acquired by the Chinese-based company, Ningbo Joyson Electronic Corporation (“Joyson Electronics”) in early 2016, for $920 million. The companies’ combined sales worldwide were equal to $3 billion at the time of the purchase.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://clearwaterinternational.com/transactions/ningbo-joyson-acquires-key-safety-systems/|title=Ningbo Joyson acquires Key Safety Systems|work=Clearwater International|access-date=2018-04-19|language=en-US}}</ref>

'''Rissa''' is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in the old [[Sør-Trøndelag]] [[Counties of Norway|county]] in [[Norway]] in the [[Fosen]] [[Districts of Norway|region]]. The municipality existed from 1860 until its dissolution on 1 January 2018 when it became part of the municipality of [[Indre Fosen]] in [[Trøndelag]] county. The [[administrative centre]] of the municipality was the village of [[Årnset]]. Other villages in the municipality included [[Askjem]], [[Hasselvika]], [[Husbysjøen]], [[Rørvik, Trøndelag|Rørvika]], [[Råkvåg]], and [[Stadsbygd]].

Prior to its dissolution in 2018, the {{convert|621|km2|adj=on}} municipality was the 179th largest by area out of the then 426 municipalities in Norway. Rissa was the 158th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 6,628. The municipality's [[population density]] was {{convert|11.3|PD/km2}} and its population had increased by 4.1% over the last decade.<ref name="ssb pop">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |year=2017 |title=Table: 06913: Population 1 January and population changes during the calendar year (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/statistikkbanken/selectvarval/Define.asp?subjectcode=&ProductId=&MainTable=Folkemengd1951&nvl=&PLanguage=1&nyTmpVar=true&CMSSubjectArea=befolkning&KortNavnWeb=folkendrhist&StatVariant=&checked=true |access-date=2017-10-07 |language=no}}</ref>

The municipality was located on the southern end of the [[Fosen]] peninsula along the [[Trondheimsfjord]] and the [[Stjørnfjord]]. The large lake [[Storvatnet (Leksvik)|Storvatnet]] lies on the eastern border with [[Lensvik]]. To the north were the municipalities of [[Åfjord]], [[Bjugn]], and [[Ørland]].

The [[Flakk–Rørvik Ferry]] crosses the Trondheimsfjord connecting the village of [[Rørvik, Trøndelag|Rørvik]] with the city of [[Trondheim]].

==Toponym==
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) was historically named "Rissen", or more recently spelled "Rissa" ({{lang-non|Rissi}}). This was probably the old name of the [[Brackish water|brackish]] basin of [[Botn (Trøndelag)|Botn]] (literally "the bottom" of the [[fjord]]). Even though this is a heavily land-locked fjord with a river-like [[inlet]] from the [[Trondheimsfjord]] (it was probably a shallow bay in prehistoric times). The name is probably derived from the verb {{wikt-lang|non|rísa}} which means "raise" or "rise". (The average water level of Botnen is today about {{convert|1.7|m}} above mean [[sea level]] and the surface water is almost fresh from accumulated internal runoff.)<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AGxBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Søndre Trondhjems amt |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |year=1901 |edition=14 |location=Kristiania, Norge |pages=101 |language=no |author-link=Oluf Rygh}}</ref> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled ''Rissen''. On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Rissa''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917. Samling af Love, Resolutioner m.m |url=https://www.nb.no/items/URN:NBN:no-nb_digitidsskrift_2015102381014_001 |journal=[[Norsk Lovtidend]] |language=no |location=Kristiania, Norge |publisher=Grøndahl og Søns Boktrykkeri |pages=1057-1065}}</ref>

==History==
The former municipality of ''Rissen'' was established in 1860 when it was separated from the big municipality of [[Stadsbygd (municipality)|Stadsbygd]]. Initially, Rissen had 3,733 residents. The spelling was later changed to ''Rissa''. On 1 January 1905, the southwestern district of [[Lensvik]] (population: 1,019) on the west side of the [[Trondheimsfjord]] was separated from Rissa to form a municipality of its own. This left Rissa with 3,394 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1964, most of Stadsbygd municipality (except for the [[Ingdalen]] area) and the southern part of the municipality of [[Stjørna]] were merged with Rissa to form a new, enlarged municipality of Rissa.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref> On 1 January 2018, the neighboring municipalities of Rissa and [[Leksvik]] merged to form the new municipality of [[Indre Fosen]] which became part of the new [[Trøndelag]] county on the same date.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Om Indre Fosen |url=http://www.indrefosenkommune.no/om-indre-fosen/ |access-date=2017-10-07 |language=no}}</ref>

===Landslide===
On 29 April 1978, a major [[quick clay|quick-clay]] [[landslide]] occurred south of Rissa at {{nowrap|{{coord|63.55624|N|9.9446978|E|scale:15000|display=inline}}}}. An area of {{convert|330000|m2|abbr=on}} sent {{convert|6000000|m3|yd3|abbr=on}} of quick clay slid down into the shores of [[Botn (Trøndelag)|Botn]]. The landslip caused a [[tsunami]] to strike the north shore at [[Leira, Trøndelag|Leira]], which destroyed a saw mill and flooded several houses. Out of the 40 people who were in the area at the time of the slide, one person died. A large portion of the slide was recorded on film by two amateur photographers. Almost four years after the event, a new road and stabilisation work in the area had removed most traces of the slide. The area being returned to agricultural use.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q-qfNlEP4A |title=NGI presents the Rissa Landslide: quick clay in Norway |type=Motion picture |publisher=Norwegian Geotechnical Institute |year=1981 |place=Oslo, norway |access-date=2020-12-31}}</ref>

==Governance==
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for [[primary education]] (through 10th grade), outpatient [[Health care|health services]], [[old age|senior citizen]] services, [[unemployment]] and other [[Social work|social services]], [[zoning]], [[economic development]], and municipal [[road]]s. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a [[Municipal council (Norway)|municipal council]] of [[Direct election|elected]] representatives, which [[Indirect election|in turn elected]] a [[mayor]].<ref name="ks">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=kommunestyre |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/kommunestyre |access-date=2023-01-01 |date=2022-09-20 |editor-last=Hansen |editor-first=Tore |language=no |editor2-last=Vabo |editor2-first=Signy Irene}}</ref>

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 23 January 1987 and it was in use until 1 January 2018 when the municipality was dissolved. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]], a [[Chaplet (headgear)|chaplet]] of three [[quatrefoil]]s [[argent]]"'' ({{lang-no|I grønt en sølv rosekrans}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[Chaplet (headgear)|chaplet]] (crown) with three [[quatrefoil]]s. The charge has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The crown design was chosen to symbolize a similar crown of [[Skule Bårdsson]] that is depicted on an old tombstone at the [[Nidaros Cathedral]]. Bårdsson was the founder of [[Rein Abbey, Norway|Rein kloster]] at the Rein estate (which he also owned) in Rissa. The crown is a typical headdress used by the medieval Norwegian [[duke]]s. Typically, there are five quatrefoils on a crown like this, but Rissa has only three to symbolize the three municipalities that were merged in 1964 to form Rissa (Rissa, [[Stadsbygd (municipality)|Stadsbygd]], and [[Stjørna]]). The arms were designed by Oscar Bergsaune. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen | date=24 July 2022 |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Rissa |access-date=2023-02-20 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Rissa, South Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-16-24.html |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1987-01-23 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1987-01-23-52 |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>

'''Wyndcliffe''' is the ruin of a historic mansion near [[Rhinebeck, New York|Rhinebeck]] in [[Dutchess County, New York]]. The records at the Library of Congress state that the brick mansion was originally named [[Rhinecliff]] and constructed in 1853 in the Norman style. The mansion was built for New York City socialite Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones (1810-1876) as a weekend and summer residence. The design is attributed to local architect George Veitch. A master mason, John Byrd, executed the highly varied ornamental brickwork using only rectangular and few molded bricks.

Writer [[Edith Wharton]] was a frequent childhood visitor; it influenced her 1929 novel ''Hudson River Bracketed''. Wharton called the house "Rhinecliff" (after the nearby hamlet of [[Rhinecliff, New York|Rhinecliff]]) in her 1933 memoirs ''A Backwards Glance''; contrary to popular rumor, the hamlet was not named after the house.<ref name=worldhistory /><ref>{{cite web|title=Wyndclyffe, Mill Road, Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, NY|url=https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/ny0191/|work=Historic American Buildings Survey|publisher=Library of Congress|accessdate=20 October 2012}}</ref> The phrase "[[keeping up with the Joneses]]" is thought to originate from the lavish balls that Jones threw at Wyndclyffe.<ref name=worldhistory>{{cite web |url=https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1770/the-wyndclyffe-estate/ |title=The Wyndclyffe Estate |publisher=[[World History Encyclopedia]] |date=June 4, 2021 |first=Joshua J. |last=Mark |access-date=December 19, 2023}}</ref>

In 1886, the mansion and land was sold by the executors of the will of Elizabeth S. Jones to Andrew Finck (1829-1890) for $25,000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lcweb2.loc.gov/master/pnp/habshaer/ny/ny0100/ny0191/data/ny0191data.pdf/ |title=Wyndcliffe (Linden Grove) Mill Road Rhinebeck Vicinity Dutchess County New York Historic American Buildings Survey National Park Service Department of the Interior Washington D.C. 20240 data gathered 1973-74 edited by HABS in 1981 as HABS No. NY-5627 HABS.NY.14-RHINB.V.2- |website=Pictorial|access-date= 9 January 2019}}</ref> Wyndcliffe was later known as Linden Hall or Finck Castle, for those subsequent owners. Andrew Finck was a New York City brewer whose son August Finck (1854-1905) and grandson August Finck Jr. (1879-1915) operated one of the larger breweries in New York City. A. Finck & Son's Brewery, 320-332 W. 39th St, Manhattan, NYC, produced Enterprise, a light lager beer from 1870 to 1911. Andrew Finck's nephew, John Henry Finck (1843-1881) operated a prosperous Feed and Flour business at 600 N. 11th Ave, Manhattan, NYC.

Upon the death of Jacob Finck (1816-1880) (John's father/Andrew's brother), Andrew Finck, his son August Finck Sr, and grandson August Finck Jr were named executors of the Jacob Finck estate. They immediately closed the Feed and Flour business, leaving John Finck unemployed and penniless with a wife and 4 small children. Several months later, on 2 May 1881, John Finck committed suicide by hanging himself between two railroad cars.<ref>New York Times 3 May 1881 obituary for John Henry Finck</ref>

The mansion passed from Andrew to his son, August, in 1901 and then to his grandson, August Jr. Theodore Finck (1883-1923) purchased Wyndcliffe from his brother, August Jr's, estate in 1919 for $24,000. Theodore died in the mansion in 1923, identifying his daughter Anna Wolf Finck Rice (1879-1963) in his Last Will as his sole devisee. The mansion and 31.8 acres passed to Nissan S. Hanoka, Rebecca Hanoka and Mrs. Victori Hazen in 1927 for $100 plus a $5,000 mortgage. In 1934, the property was awarded back to Anna Wolf Rice for $1,117.94 at foreclosure auction, and then passed through several subsequent owners from 1936 onward.

The mansion was abandoned sometime around 1950. Originally situated on 80 acres including waterfront access to the Hudson River, the property was eventually reduced to 2.5 acres.<ref>{{cite web|title=Surreal in New Jersey - Wyndcliffe|url=http://www.surrealnewjersey.com/wyndcliffe.htm|accessdate=20 October 2012}}</ref> Portions of the mansion have collapsed after over 70 years of abandonment. In 2003 the mansion was sold and the new owner erected a security fence around the property. However the announced plans to restore the house never came to fruition. Images taken around that time showed that major sections of the second story had collapsed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Wyndclyffe Update – April 2017|url=http://www.hudsonvalleyruins.org/rob/?p=2693|publisher=Robert J. Yasinsac|accessdate=19 January 2023}}</ref>

In September 2016 the house was sold for $120,000 at auction.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pictorial.jezebel.com/crumbling-keeping-up-with-the-joneses-mansion-sells-for-1787084163/ |title=Crumbling 'Keeping Up With the Joneses' Mansion Sells for a Paltry $120,000 |last=Faircloth|first=Kelly |date= September 26, 2016|website=Pictorial|access-date=28 July 2017}}</ref> The new buyer applied for, and was granted, a permit to demolish the remaining structure but did not carry that out. The structure was again sold in 2017 to a Manhattan-based developer. In December 2022 a local news site reported that the developer had hired a structural engineer and submitted an emergency stabilization plan with Rhinebeck Planning Board.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Steinman |first1=Eric |title=Long Neglected Gothic Riverfront Estate Receives a Lifeline…Maybe |url=https://www.hvpilot.com/news/long-neglected-gothic-riverfront-estate-receives-a-lifeline-maybe/article_ce254f34-7cc7-11ed-af71-671f0421cb0b.html |access-date=20 January 2023 |work=hvpilot.com |publisher=Hudson Valley Pilot |date=15 December 2022}}</ref>

The Philippines, together with Cambodia, are the only [[Association of South East Asian Nations]] (ASEAN) member states that have abolished the death penalty.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.handsoffcain.info/bancadati/asia-middle-east-australia-and-oceania/cambodia-17000221|title=NTC - Bancadati|website=www.handsoffcain.info}}</ref>

[[Image:Garrote Execution - 1901.png|thumb|A 1901 execution at the [[Old Bilibid prison|Old Bilibid Prison]], [[Manila]], [[Philippines]]]]
During [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Spanish colonization of the Philippines|colonial rule]], the most common methods of execution were death by [[firing squad]] (especially for treason/military crimes, usually reserved for independence fighters) and [[garrote]].

A notable case of execution through garrote by the repressive Spanish government in the Philippines is the execution of three [[Filipino people|Filipino]] [[Catholic Church in the Philippines|Catholic]] martyr priests, [[Mariano Gomez (priest)|Mariano Gomez]], [[José Burgos]], and [[Jacinto Zamora]], also known as [[Gomburza]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Death of Gomburza & The Propaganda Movement|url=https://www.philippine-history.org/gomburza.htm|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=Philippine History}}</ref> The execution is often cited as an example of injustice during Spanish colonial rule and is considered a significant turning point in the Philippine struggle for independence.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gomburza: First spark of revolution 150 years ago |url=https://mb.com.ph/2022/2/17/gomburza-first-spark-of-revolution-150-years-ago |access-date=April 8, 2023 |website=Manila Bulletin |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Ocampo |first=Ambeth R. |date=February 18, 2022 |title=Gomburza, 1872 |url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/150000/gomburza-1872 |access-date=April 8, 2023 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |language=en}}</ref>

[[Death by hanging]] was another popular method of execution.

Another prominent example is the execution of [[Philippine nationalist]] reformer [[José Rizal]], who was executed by firing squad on the morning of December 30, 1896, in the [[Rizal Park|park that now bears his name]].<ref>{{cite news |last=McLean |first=John |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/3337273.stm |title=Philippines 'restores' death penalty |work=BBC News |date=December 21, 2003 |access-date=February 24, 2014}}</ref> The execution hastened the independence movement that led to the 1898 [[Philippine Declaration of Independence|independence]] of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Ocampo |first=Ambeth R. |date=February 17, 2023 |title=Gomburza and Rizal's execution |url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/161124/gomburza-and-rizals-execution |access-date=April 8, 2023 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Almario |first=Manuel F. |date=December 31, 2012 |title=Rizal planted seed of revolution; Bonifacio watered it |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/332557/rizal-planted-seed-of-revolution-bonifacio-watered-it |access-date=April 8, 2023 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |language=en}}</ref>

In 1902, the Philippine Commission abolished the use of [[garrote]] as a means of executing criminals, and substituted in place thereof execution by hanging.<ref name=Act451>{{cite web|title=Act No. 451, September 2, 1902|url=http://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/28/27455|publisher=Supreme Court of the Philippines|access-date=July 8, 2020}}</ref>

In 1926, the [[electric chair]] ([[Spanish language in the Philippines|Spanish]]: ''silla eléctrica''; [[Filipino language|Filipino]]: ''silya eléktrika'') was introduced by the [[United States]]' colonial [[Insular Government]],<ref>{{cite book|last=Galvin|first=Anthony|title=Old Sparky: The Electric Chair and the History of the Death Penalty|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZduLDAAAQBAJ|year=2016|publisher=Skyhorse Publishing Company, Incorporated|isbn=978-1-5107-1135-8|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=ZduLDAAAQBAJ&dq=%22in+1926,+the+US+authorities+introduced+the+electric+chair%22&pg=PT158 15]}}</ref> making the Philippines the only other country to employ this method. The last colonial-era execution took place under [[Governor-General of the Philippines|Governor-General]] [[Theodore Roosevelt Jr.]] in February 1932. There were no executions under [[Manuel L. Quezon]], the first [[President of the Philippines|President]] of the [[Commonwealth of the Philippines|Commonwealth]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://malacanang.gov.ph/255-the-sesquicentennial-of-dr-jose-rizals-birth-an-introduction/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120709000009/http://malacanang.gov.ph/255-the-sesquicentennial-of-dr-jose-rizals-birth-an-introduction/|url-status=dead|title=The Sesquicentennial of Dr. Jose Rizal's birth: An Introduction {{pipe}} Presidential Museum and Library|archivedate=July 9, 2012}}</ref>

==1946–1986==
The capital crimes after regaining full sovereignty in July 1946 were murder, [[rape]] and treason. However, no executions took place until April 25, 1950,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19500427&id=_L4hAAAAIBAJ&pg=3164,3276454|title=Reading Eagle - Google News Archive Search|website=news.google.com}}</ref> when Julio Gullien was executed for attempting to assassinate President [[Manuel Roxas]].<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2206&dat=19500426&id=N7MyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4OsFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4710,2584768] {{dead link|date=February 2014}}</ref> Other notable cases includes Marciál "Baby" Ama, electrocuted at the age of 16 on October 4, 1961, for murders committed while in prison for lesser charges.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dokumentaryonijuantagalog.weebly.com/history-of-public-enemy.html |title=History of Public Enemy |publisher=Dokumentaryonijuantagalog.weebly.com |access-date=February 9, 2014}}</ref> Ama notably became the subject of the popular 1976 film, ''[[Bitayin si...

Former Governor of [[Negros Occidental]], Rafael Lacson, and 22 of his allies, were condemned to die in August 1954 for the murder of a political opponent.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,820089-2,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091128082853/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,820089-2,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 28, 2009 |title=The Philippines: Justice for the Governor |magazine=Time |date=September 6, 1954 |access-date=February 9, 2014}}</ref> Ultimately, Lacson was never executed.

In total, 51 people were electrocuted up to 1961. Execution numbers climbed under President [[Ferdinand Marcos]], who himself was sentenced to death in 1939 for the murder of [[Julio Nalundasan]]—the political rival of his father, [[Mariano Marcos|Mariano]]; the young Ferdinand was acquitted on appeal. A controversial triple execution took place on May 17, 1972, when Jaime José, Basilio Pineda, and Edgardo Aquino were electrocuted for the 1967 abduction and [[gang-rape]] of young actress [[Maggie de la Riva]]. The state ordered that the executions be broadcast on national radio.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://video48.blogspot.com/2008/07/may-17-1972-maggie-de-la-riva-rape-case.html|title=Video 48: May 17, 1972: The Maggie de la Riva Rape Case, Part 3: 3 Die in Chair at Muntinlupa|date=July 22, 2008}}</ref>

Under the Marcos regime, [[drug trafficking]] also became punishable by death by firing squad, such as the case with Lim Seng, whose execution on January 15, 1973, was also ordered broadcast on national television. Future President and then-Chief of the [[Philippine Constabulary]] General [[Fidel V. Ramos]] was present at the execution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/letterstotheeditor/view/20090112-182765/Lim-Sengs-execution |title=Lim Seng's execution |publisher=Opinion.inquirer.net |date=December 29, 2008 |access-date=February 9, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131230234548/http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/letterstotheeditor/view/20090112-182765/Lim-Sengs-execution |archive-date=December 30, 2013 }}</ref>

The electric chair was used until 1976, when execution by firing squad eventually replaced it as the sole method of execution. Under Marcos' 20-year authoritarian rule, however, [[desaparecidos|countless more people]] were summarily executed, tortured or simply disappeared for opposition to his rule.{{POV statement|date=October 2012}}
===1987 Constitution===
After Marcos [[People Power Revolution|was deposed]] in 1986, the newly drafted [[1987 Constitution]] prohibited the death penalty but allowed Congress to reinstate it "hereafter" for "heinous crimes"; making the Philippines the first Asian country to abolish capital punishment. The death penalty was replaced by [[reclusion perpetua]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 18, 2006 |title=A timeline of death penalty in the Philippines |url=https://old.pcij.org/blog/2006/04/18/a-timeline-of-death-penalty-in-the-philippines |access-date=April 8, 2023 |website=The PCIJ Blog}}</ref>

==Reinstatement and moratorium==
[[File:NBPtoday.jpg|thumb|[[New Bilibid Prison]] held male death row inmates]]
President [[Fidel V. Ramos]] promised during his campaign that he would support the re-introduction of the death penalty in response to increasing crime rates. The new law (Republic Act 7659), drafted by Ramos, was passed in 1993, restoring capital punishment on December 31, 1993.<ref>{{cite news|last=Macaspac|first=Joem H.|title=Death penalty now in effect|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WJUVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=3woEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5451%2C4753590|access-date=December 10, 2021|work=[[Manila Standard]]|publisher=Kamahalan Publishing Corp.|date=December 31, 1993|page=3}}</ref> This law provided the use of the electric chair until the [[gas chamber]] (chosen by the government to replace electrocution) could be used. In 1996, Republic Act 8177 was passed, prescribing the use of lethal injection as the method of carrying out capital punishment.

Executions resumed in 1999, starting with [[Leo Echegaray]], who was put to death by [[lethal injection]] under President [[Joseph Estrada]], marking the first execution after the reinstatement of the death penalty. The next execution saw an embarrassing mishap when President Estrada decided to grant a last-minute reprieve, but failed to get through to the prison authorities in time to stop the execution. Following on a personal appeal by his spiritual advisor, Bishop Teodoro Bacani, Estrada called for a moratorium in 2000 to honor the [[Great Jubilee|bimillennial anniversary of Christ's birth]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/act53/001/2000/en/ |title=Download Documents {{pipe}} Amnesty International |date=March 31, 2000 |publisher=Amnesty.org |access-date=February 24, 2014 }}</ref> Executions were resumed a year later.

===Republic Act 9346===

President [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]] was a vocal opponent of the death penalty. She approved a moratorium on the carrying out of capital punishment. In 2006, Congress passed Republic Act 9346, which the president signed on June 24 of that year, following an overwhelming vote in Congress on June 7 to abolish the practice.<ref>Jansen, Jamie.

===Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights===

In 2007, the Philippines became a party to the [[Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights]] regarding the abolition of the death penalty. The Optional Protocol commits its members to the abolition of the death penalty within their borders.<ref>{{Cite web |title=View the ratification status by country or by treaty |url=https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/TreatyBodyExternal/Treaty.aspx?CountryID=137 |access-date=April 8, 2023 |website=UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Conde |first=Carlos |date=August 5, 2020 |title=Death Penalty Danger in the Philippines |url=https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/08/05/death-penalty-danger-philippines |access-date=April 8, 2023 |website=Human Rights Watch |language=en}}</ref>

==Methods==
The Philippines was the only country aside from the [[United States]] that used the [[electric chair]], which had been introduced during the U.S. colonial period. Until its first abolition in 1987, the country reverted to using [[death by firing squad]].

After re-introduction of the death penalty in 1993, the country switched to [[lethal injection]] as its sole method of execution.

The Philippines, together with Cambodia, are the only [[Association of South East Asian Nations]] (ASEAN) member states that have abolished the death penalty.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.handsoffcain.info/bancadati/asia-middle-east-australia-and-oceania/cambodia-17000221|title=NTC - Bancadati|website=www.handsoffcain.info}}</ref>

==Spanish and American periods==
[[Image:Garrote Execution - 1901.png|thumb|A 1901 execution at the [[Old Bilibid prison|Old Bilibid Prison]], [[Manila]], [[Philippines]]]]
During [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Spanish colonization of the Philippines|colonial rule]], the most common methods of execution were death by [[firing squad]] (especially for treason/military crimes, usually reserved for independence fighters) and [[garrote]].

A notable case of execution through garrote by the repressive Spanish government in the Philippines is the execution of three [[Filipino people|Filipino]] [[Catholic Church in the Philippines|Catholic]] martyr priests, [[Mariano Gomez (priest)|Mariano Gomez]], [[José Burgos]], and [[Jacinto Zamora]], also known as [[Gomburza]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Death of Gomburza & The Propaganda Movement|url=https://www.philippine-history.org/gomburza.htm|access-date=September 17, 2020|website=Philippine History}}</ref> The execution is often cited as an example of injustice during Spanish colonial rule and is considered a significant turning point in the Philippine struggle for independence.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gomburza: First spark of revolution 150 years ago |url=https://mb.com.ph/2022/2/17/gomburza-first-spark-of-revolution-150-years-ago |access-date=April 8, 2023 |website=Manila Bulletin |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Ocampo |first=Ambeth R. |date=February 18, 2022 |title=Gomburza, 1872 |url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/150000/gomburza-1872 |access-date=April 8, 2023 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |language=en}}</ref>

[[Death by hanging]] was another popular method of execution.

Another prominent example is the execution of [[Philippine nationalist]] reformer [[José Rizal]], who was executed by firing squad on the morning of December 30, 1896, in the [[Rizal Park|park that now bears his name]].<ref>{{cite news |last=McLean |first=John |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/3337273.stm |title=Philippines 'restores' death penalty |work=BBC News |date=December 21, 2003 |access-date=February 24, 2014}}</ref> The execution hastened the independence movement that led to the 1898 [[Philippine Declaration of Independence|independence]] of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Ocampo |first=Ambeth R. |date=February 17, 2023 |title=Gomburza and Rizal's execution |url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/161124/gomburza-and-rizals-execution |access-date=April 8, 2023 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Almario |first=Manuel F. |date=December 31, 2012 |title=Rizal planted seed of revolution; Bonifacio watered it |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/332557/rizal-planted-seed-of-revolution-bonifacio-watered-it |access-date=April 8, 2023 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |language=en}}</ref>

In 1902, the Philippine Commission abolished the use of [[garrote]] as a means of executing criminals, and substituted in place thereof execution by hanging.<ref name=Act451>{{cite web|title=Act No. 451, September 2, 1902|url=http://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/28/27455|publisher=Supreme Court of the Philippines|access-date=July 8, 2020}}</ref>

In 1926, the [[electric chair]] ([[Spanish language in the Philippines|Spanish]]: ''silla eléctrica''; [[Filipino language|Filipino]]: ''silya eléktrika'') was introduced by the [[United States]]' colonial [[Insular Government]],<ref>{{cite book|last=Galvin|first=Anthony|title=Old Sparky: The Electric Chair and the History of the Death Penalty|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZduLDAAAQBAJ|year=2016|publisher=Skyhorse Publishing Company, Incorporated|isbn=978-1-5107-1135-8|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=ZduLDAAAQBAJ&dq=%22in+1926,+the+US+authorities+introduced+the+electric+chair%22&pg=PT158 15]}}</ref> making the Philippines the only other country to employ this method. The last colonial-era execution took place under [[Governor-General of the Philippines|Governor-General]] [[Theodore Roosevelt Jr.]] in February 1932. There were no executions under [[Manuel L. Quezon]], the first [[President of the Philippines|President]] of the [[Commonwealth of the Philippines|Commonwealth]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://malacanang.gov.ph/255-the-sesquicentennial-of-dr-jose-rizals-birth-an-introduction/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120709000009/http://malacanang.gov.ph/255-the-sesquicentennial-of-dr-jose-rizals-birth-an-introduction/|url-status=dead|title=The Sesquicentennial of Dr. Jose Rizal's birth: An Introduction {{pipe}} Presidential Museum and Library|archivedate=July 9, 2012}}</ref>

==1946–1986==
The capital crimes after regaining full sovereignty in July 1946 were murder, [[rape]] and treason. However, no executions took place until April 25, 1950,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19500427&id=_L4hAAAAIBAJ&pg=3164,3276454|title=Reading Eagle - Google News Archive Search|website=news.google.com}}</ref> when Julio Gullien was executed for attempting to assassinate President [[Manuel Roxas]].<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2206&dat=19500426&id=N7MyAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4OsFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4710,2584768] {{dead link|date=February 2014}}</ref> Other notable cases includes Marciál "Baby" Ama, electrocuted at the age of 16 on October 4, 1961, for murders committed while in prison for lesser charges.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dokumentaryonijuantagalog.weebly.com/history-of-public-enemy.html |title=History of Public Enemy |publisher=Dokumentaryonijuantagalog.weebly.com |access-date=February 9, 2014}}</ref> Ama notably became the subject of the popular 1976 film, ''[[Bitayin si...

Former Governor of [[Negros Occidental]], Rafael Lacson, and 22 of his allies, were condemned to die in August 1954 for the murder of a political opponent.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,820089-2,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091128082853/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,820089-2,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 28, 2009 |title=The Philippines: Justice for the Governor |magazine=Time |date=September 6, 1954 |access-date=February 9, 2014}}</ref> Ultimately, Lacson was never executed.

In total, 51 people were electrocuted up to 1961. Execution numbers climbed under President [[Ferdinand Marcos]], who himself was sentenced to death in 1939 for the murder of [[Julio Nalundasan]]—the political rival of his father, [[Mariano Marcos|Mariano]]; the young Ferdinand was acquitted on appeal. A controversial triple execution took place in May 1972, when Jaime José, Basilio Pineda, and Edgardo Aquino were electrocuted for the 1967 abduction and [[gang-rape]] of young actress [[Maggie de la Riva]]. The state ordered that the executions be broadcast on national radio.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://video48.blogspot.com/2008/07/may-17-1972-maggie-de-la-riva-rape-case.html|title=Video 48: May 17, 1972: The Maggie de la Riva Rape Case, Part 3: 3 Die in Chair at Muntinlupa|date=July 22, 2008}}</ref>

Under the Marcos regime, [[drug trafficking]] also became punishable by death by firing squad, such as the case with Lim Seng, whose execution on January 15, 1973, was also ordered broadcast on national television. Future President and then-Chief of the [[Philippine Constabulary]] General [[Fidel V. Ramos]] was present at the execution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/letterstotheeditor/view/20090112-182765/Lim-Sengs-execution |title=Lim Seng's execution |publisher=Opinion.inquirer.net |date=December 29, 2008 |access-date=February 9, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131230234548/http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/letterstotheeditor/view/20090112-182765/Lim-Sengs-execution |archive-date=December 30, 2013 }}</ref>

The electric chair was used until 1976, when execution by firing squad eventually replaced it as the sole method of execution. Under Marcos' 20-year authoritarian rule, however, [[desaparecidos|countless more people]] were summarily executed, tortured or simply disappeared for opposition to his rule.{{POV statement|date=October 2012}}
===1987 Constitution===
After Marcos [[People Power Revolution|was deposed]] in 1986, the newly drafted [[1987 Constitution]] prohibited the death penalty but allowed Congress to reinstate it "hereafter" for "heinous crimes"; making the Philippines the first Asian country to abolish capital punishment. The death penalty was replaced by [[reclusion perpetua]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 18, 2006 |title=A timeline of death penalty in the Philippines |url=https://old.pcij.org/blog/2006/04/18/a-timeline-of-death-penalty-in-the-philippines |access-date=April 8, 2023 |website=The PCIJ Blog}}</ref>

When the Philippines had the death penalty, male inmates condemned to death were held at [[New Bilibid Prison]] and female inmates condemned to death were held at [[Correctional Institution for Women (Mandaluyong)]].<ref>{{cite news|author=Araneta, Sandy|url=http://www.philstar.com/headlines/137465/1020-death-convicts-await-execution|title=1,020 death convicts await execution |newspaper=[[The Philippine Star]]|date=October 22, 2001|access-date=May 3, 2017}}</ref> The death chamber for inmates to be electrocuted was in Building 14, within the Maximum Security Compound of New Bilibid.

==Reinstatement and moratorium==
[[File:NBPtoday.jpg|thumb|[[New Bilibid Prison]] held male death row inmates]]
President [[Fidel V. Ramos]] promised during his campaign that he would support the re-introduction of the death penalty in response to increasing crime rates. The new law (Republic Act 7659), drafted by Ramos, was passed in 1993, restoring capital punishment on December 31, 1993.<ref>{{cite news|last=Macaspac|first=Joem H.|title=Death penalty now in effect|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WJUVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=3woEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5451%2C4753590|access-date=December 10, 2021|work=[[Manila Standard]]|publisher=Kamahalan Publishing Corp.|date=December 31, 1993|page=3}}</ref> This law provided the use of the electric chair until the [[gas chamber]] (chosen by the government to replace electrocution) could be used. In 1996, Republic Act 8177 was passed, prescribing the use of lethal injection as the method of carrying out capital punishment.

Executions resumed in 1999, starting with [[Leo Echegaray]], who was put to death by [[lethal injection]] under President [[Joseph Estrada]], marking the first execution after the reinstatement of the death penalty. The next execution saw an embarrassing mishap when President Estrada decided to grant a last-minute reprieve, but failed to get through to the prison authorities in time to stop the execution. Following on a personal appeal by his spiritual advisor, Bishop Teodoro Bacani, Estrada called for a moratorium in 2000 to honor the [[Great Jubilee|bimillennial anniversary of Christ's birth]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/act53/001/2000/en/ |title=Download Documents {{pipe}} Amnesty International |date=March 31, 2000 |publisher=Amnesty.org |access-date=February 24, 2014 }}</ref> Executions were resumed a year later.

===Republic Act 9346===

President [[Gloria Macapagal Arroyo]] was a vocal opponent of the death penalty. She approved a moratorium on the carrying out of capital punishment. In 2006, Congress passed Republic Act 9346, which the president signed on June 24 of that year, following an overwhelming vote in Congress on June 7 to abolish the practice.<ref>Jansen, Jamie.

===Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights===

In 2007, the Philippines became a party to the [[Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights]] regarding the abolition of the death penalty. The Optional Protocol commits its members to the abolition of the death penalty within their borders.<ref>{{Cite web |title=View the ratification status by country or by treaty |url=https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/TreatyBodyExternal/Treaty.aspx?CountryID=137 |access-date=April 8, 2023 |website=UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Conde |first=Carlos |date=August 5, 2020 |title=Death Penalty Danger in the Philippines |url=https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/08/05/death-penalty-danger-philippines |access-date=April 8, 2023 |website=Human Rights Watch |language=en}}</ref>

==Methods==
The Philippines was the only country aside from the [[United States]] that used the [[electric chair]], which had been introduced during the U.S. colonial period. Until its first abolition in 1987, the country reverted to using [[death by firing squad]].

After re-introduction of the death penalty in 1993, the country switched to [[lethal injection]] as its sole method of execution.

==History==
Alert is named after {{HMS|Alert|1856|6}}, a British ship that wintered about {{cvt|10|km}} away in 1875–76.<ref>[http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/eng/CCG/USQUE_Alert A History of the Canadian Coast Guard and Marine Services] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090928085229/http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/eng/CCG/USQUE_Alert |date=September 28, 2009 }}</ref> The ship's captain, [[George Nares]], and his crew were the first recorded Europeans to reach the northern end of [[Ellesmere Island]]. Over the following decades, several other expeditions passed through the area, most notably [[Robert Peary]] during his expedition to reach the [[North Pole]] in 1909.

===Post-World War II (1945–1970)===
Shortly after the end of [[World War II]], Charles J. Hubbard of the [[National Weather Service|United States Weather Bureau]] aroused interest in the United States and Canada for the establishment of a network of [[Arctic]] stations. His plan, in broad perspective, envisaged the establishment of two main stations, one in [[Greenland]] and the other on the archipelago, which could be reached by sea supply. These main stations would then serve as advance bases from which a number of smaller stations would be established by air. The immediate plans contemplated the establishment of weather stations only, but it was thought that a system of weather stations would also provide a nucleus of transportation, communications, and settlements, which would greatly aid programs of research in many other fields of science. It was recognized that ultimate action would depend on international cooperation, since the land masses involved were under Canadian and Danish control.

[[File: US diplomat Laura Lochman visits Alert, Nunavut, 2010-04 -a.jpg|thumb|left|A sign at [[CFS Alert]] commemorating Alert as the northernmost permanently inhabited settlement in the world. The area has been inhabited since 1950.]]

Following negotiations between the United States and Canadian governments, a group of five weather stations was established, known as the Joint Arctic Weather Stations (JAWS). On the Canadian side, the stations were to be operated by the [[Transport Canada|Department of Transport]] (DOT). The locations for each station were surveyed in 1946, and a cache of supplies was dropped in Alert in 1948 by [[USCGC Edisto|USS ''Edisto'']]. Alert was the last of the five to be settled when the first twelve personnel (eight permanent staff and four to assist with construction) arrived on April 9, 1950.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Johnson, Jr.|first1=J. Peter|s2cid=130962631|title=The Establishment of Alert, N.W.T., Canada|journal=Arctic|date=January 1, 1990|volume=43|issue=1|doi=10.14430/arctic1587|doi-access=free}}</ref> Construction began immediately, with the first priority being the creation of an ice runway on Alert Inlet before work began on the permanent all-season runway on Cape Belknap. Until its completion, supplies were parachuted in.

On July 30, 1950, nine crew members of a [[Avro Lancaster|Lancaster]], operated by the [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] (RCAF), died [[#Aircraft crashes|in a crash]] while making an [[airdrop]] of supplies to the station.

The last United States personnel were withdrawn on October 31, 1970,<ref>{{cite web|title=High Arctic Weather Stations|url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/high-arctic-weather-stations/|website=The Canadian Encyclopedia|access-date=February 9, 2018|language=en}}</ref> and the following year operation of the weather station was transferred to the newly created [[Environment and Climate Change Canada|Department of the Environment]], with the Department of Transport retaining control of airfield operations for several more years.

In April 1971, a party of federal and [[Northwest Territories]] (NWT) government officials arrived in Alert in an attempt to reach the [[North Pole]]. Alert had been the embarkation point for many North Pole expeditions that relied on weather information supplied by the weather station there. The 1971 expedition was led by [[Stu Hodgson]], former [[Commissioner of the Northwest Territories]], and included in his party were representatives of the prime minister's office, the [[Canadian Armed Forces]], the federal [[Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada|Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development]], as well as a large media group including [[Pat Carney]] of Gemini Productions, Ed Ogle of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine, Val Wake of ''[[CBC News]]'', and a television crew from California. While waiting in Alert for a weather window to fly to the pole, the party's television crew spent a lot of time filming at the weather station. The military was unhappy about the film crew working on the station, but the weather station was seen as being a sort of no-man's land. The commissioner's party made two attempts to reach the pole and failed. Some of the incidents surrounding this event are recounted in Val Wake's memoir ''My Voyage around Spray with Apologies to Captain Joshua Slocum''.<ref>''[http://valwaketheauthor.com/myvoyagearoundspray.php My Voyage Around Spray] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210901210101/https://valwaketheauthor.com/myvoyagearoundspray.php |date=September 1, 2021 }}'' Val Wake website</ref>

===Recent history (1971–present)===
[[File:BAPMoN opening ceremony.jpg|thumb|The opening of the [[Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory|Alert Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network]] in 1986.]]

In August 1975, Prime Minister [[Pierre Trudeau]] and his then three-year-old son, future prime minister [[Justin Trudeau]], visited the station and nearby [[Ward Hunt Island]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Discovery recalls Justin Trudeau's 1st visit to High Arctic — as a 3-year-old|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/arctic-cairn-ward-hunt-island-trudeau-1.4055558|work=CBC News|language=en}}</ref> In August 1986, the [[Government of Canada]] opened [[Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory|Alert Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network]].

By the 1990s, the original buildings of the original weather station had fallen into disrepair and were burned in the summer of 1996, leaving only the hydrogen shed and a wooden outhouse. The weather station and observatory offices were moved to Polaris Hall.

In early April 2006, the [[Roland McLenahan|Roly McLenahan]] Torch that was used to light the flame at [[Whitehorse]], [[Yukon]], for the [[Canada Games|Canada Winter Games]], passed through Alert.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/339251/vancouver-2010-olympic-torch-relay-coming-to-nunavut|title=Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay coming to Nunavut|publisher=CNW|date=November 21, 2008|access-date=June 4, 2014|archive-date=November 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129041458/http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/339251/vancouver-2010-olympic-torch-relay-coming-to-nunavut|url-status=dead}}</ref> While the Canada Games torch was supposed to pass over the North Pole, bad weather prevented a Canadian military [[de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter|Twin Otter]] from making the trip. The torch did not travel outside Alert that weekend (April 9–12). In August 2006, Prime Minister, [[Stephen Harper]], made a visit to Alert as part of his campaign to promote [[Territorial claims in the Arctic|Canadian sovereignty in the north]].

On November 8, 2009, the [[2010 Winter Olympics torch relay]] arrived at Alert via airplane from [[Churchill, Manitoba|Churchill]], [[Manitoba]], reaching its most northerly point on land.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/12/olympic_torch_relay_heads_to_v.html#photo32|title=Olympic Torch Relay heads to Vancouver|publisher=boston.com|work=The Big Picture|date=December 4, 2009|access-date=November 22, 2014}}</ref> The next day it travelled to [[Iqaluit]].

On January 19 and 20, 2015, [[Governor General of Canada|Governor General]] [[David Johnston]] flew into Alert on a [[Boeing C-17 Globemaster III|C-17 Globemaster]] transport from [[CFB Trenton]].<ref name="G&Malert1">{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/governor-general-johnston-discusses-alert-canadas-northern-anchor-point/article22615950/|title=Governor-General Johnston discusses Alert, Canada's northern 'anchor point'|date=January 23, 2015|author= Allemang, John |author2= Cowan, Tonia |work=[[The Globe and Mail]]}}</ref> He toured Alert, received an overview of its operations, met with civilian and military personnel and presided over a change-of-command.<ref name="GGalert1">{{cite web|url=http://gg.ca/document.aspx?id=15928&lan=eng|title=Governor General and Commander-in-Chief Visits Canadian Forces Station Alert|date=January 19, 2015|work=News Release on Governor-General web site}}</ref>

===Aircraft crashes===
Since Alert has not been regularly accessible by [[icebreaker]]s due to heavy ice conditions in the [[Lincoln Sea]], resupply is provided by [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] transport aircraft which land at the adjacent [[Alert Airport]]. Difficult conditions at such a remote northern location have resulted in several incidents, two of which have involved fatalities:

[[File:KB965 Crash Site.jpg|thumb|The remains of the [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] [[Avro Lancaster|Lancaster]] 965, which crashed in July 1950. Difficult Arctic conditions make landings in Alert hazardous.]]

* On July 31, 1950, around 17:00 GMT, an RCAF [[Avro Lancaster|Lancaster]] 965 from [[405 Long Range Patrol Squadron|405 Squadron Greenwood]] crashed during the establishment of the JAWS weather station when a parachute for resupplies being [[airdrop]]ped became entangled on the tail of the aircraft. The nine crew members were killed. An attempt was made to recover their bodies; a RCAF [[Consolidated PBY Catalina|Canso]] was dispatched and the [[flying boat]] landed in Dumbell Bay on August 7. The bodies of the Canadian crew were brought aboard in wooden coffins made from packing crates—the family of Colonel C.J. Hubbard of the United States Weather Bureau requested his remains be buried at Alert<ref>{{cite book|last=Pigott|first=Peter|date=2011|title=From Far and Wide: A Complete History of Canada's Arctic Sovereignty|location=Toronto|publisher=Dundurn|isbn=978-1-55488-987-7}}</ref>—but the combination of the extra weight and a tail wind resulted in an [[Rejected takeoff|aborted takeoff]]. The Canso struck ground at the narrow point of Dumbell Bay, damaging the tail section and rendering it useless. Following this, it was decided to bury the crew's remains west of the airstrip, and a military funeral was held the same day. The arrival of the [[United States Coast Guard]] icebreaker {{USCGC|Eastwind||2}} allowed repairs to be made to the Canso.<ref name="gray">{{cite book|last=Gray|first=David R.|date=2004|title=Alert: Beyond the Inuit Lands|url=https://archive.org/details/alertbeyondinuit0000gray|url-access=registration|location=Ottawa|publisher=Borealis Press|pages=[https://archive.org/details/alertbeyondinuit0000gray/page/96 96–97]|isbn=1-896133-01-0}}</ref> The wreckage of the Lancaster is still visible {{cvt|500|m}} southwest of the CE building.

* On October 11, 1952, a [[Douglas C-54 Skymaster]], flown by the United States [[Military Air Transport Service]], crashed on landing at Alert, while carrying a load of [[aviation fuel]]. The four crew members survived the crash; the aircraft was destroyed. The wreckage was pushed to the south side of the runway, where it remains today. Because of the high visibility of the wreckage due to its location at the runway, it is often mistaken for the RCAF Lancaster.<ref name="gray"/>

* On October 30, 1991, a [[Lockheed C-130 Hercules]], part of Operation Boxtop, crashed about {{cvt|20|km}} from the airfield, killing four of the 18 passengers and crew on impact. Pilot John Couch died of exposure following the crash. Couch was conducting a visual approach and descended into a hill due to a mistake regarding the plane's true location.<ref>{{cite book|last=Lee|first=Robert Mason|date=1993|title=Death and Deliverance: The True Story of an Airplane Crash at the North Pole|location=Golden CO|publisher=Fulcrum Publishing|isbn=978-1555911409|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/deathdeliverance00leer}}</ref> A blizzard and the local terrain hampered rescue efforts by personnel from CFS Alert; [[United States Air Force]] (USAF) personnel from [[Pituffik Space Base|Thule Air Base]] {{cvt|700|km}} south; [[435 Transport and Rescue Squadron]] from [[CFB Winnipeg]], and [[440 Transport Squadron|440 Transport and Rescue Squadron]], from [[CFB Edmonton|CFB Namao]] outside [[Edmonton]] (both squadrons are part of [[CFB Winnipeg|17 Wing Winnipeg]]); [[424 Transport and Rescue Squadron|424 Squadron]] from [[CFB Trenton]], Ontario; and [[413 Transport and Rescue Squadron]] from [[CFB Greenwood]], Nova Scotia. The crash investigation recommended all C-130s be retrofitted with [[Ground proximity warning system|ground proximity detectors]]. The [[Search and rescue|crash and rescue]] efforts were the basis of the film ''[[Ordeal in the Arctic]]'' (1993).

==Canadian Forces Station Alert==
{{main|CFS Alert}}
Since the beginning of the JAWS project, the [[Canadian Armed Forces]] had been interested in the establishment at Alert for several reasons: the JAWS facility extended Canadian sovereignty over a large uninhabited area which Canada claimed as its sovereign territory, and its proximity to the [[Soviet Union]] made it of strategic importance. Alert is closer to Moscow (c. {{cvt|2,500|mi|order=flip}}) than it is to [[Ottawa]] (c. {{cvt|2,580|mi|order=flip}}). Thus, the possibility of utilizing the site for the purpose of intercepting radio signals was deemed to warrant a military presence.

In 1950, [[Alert Airport]] was established. It is the only airport serving the settlement and is presently part of [[CFS Alert]]. In 1956, the RCAF, which was expanding its presence throughout the [[Northern Canada|high Arctic]] with the construction of the [[Distant Early Warning Line]] radar network, established a building uphill from the DOT's JAWS station to house "High Arctic Long Range Communications Research", or signals intelligence operations.

In 1957, Alert Wireless Station was conceived as an intercept facility to be jointly staffed by personnel from the [[Royal Canadian Navy]] (RCN) and the RCAF. Five additional buildings were constructed: a mess, three barracks/accommodations buildings, and a power house and vehicle maintenance building, in addition to the existing operations building, built in 1956. The operations building housed the radio intercept and cryptographic equipment. On September 1, 1958, control of the station was transferred from the air force to the army, and it officially began operations.

The following decade saw a dramatic expansion of the station, with a correspondingly greater number of personnel stationed there. The February 1, 1968, [[Unification of the Canadian Armed Forces|unification]] of the RCN, RCAF, and [[Canadian Army]] to form the [[Canadian Armed Forces]] saw Alert Wireless Station change its name to Canadian Forces Station Alert (CFS Alert). Its personnel were no longer drawn from only the air force or navy, but primarily from the Canadian Forces Communications Command.

[[File:Bv 206 cfsalert.jpg|left|thumb|A [[Bandvagn 206]] with [[CFS Alert]] in the background, a military station operated by the Canadian Armed Forces]]

At its peak, CFS Alert had upwards of 215 personnel posted at any one time. The station became a key asset in the global [[ECHELON]] network of the [[AUSCANNZUKUS]] intelligence sharing alliance, also known as "[[Five Eyes]]", with Alert being privy to many secret Soviet communications regarding land-based and sea-based [[intercontinental ballistic missile]] (ICBM) test launches and many operational military deployments.

The first military women to serve in Alert arrived in 1980 as part of the Canadian Forces' Women In Non-Traditional Roles study. After its completion in 1983, women were fully authorized to serve in all roles.<ref>{{cite web|title=Canadian Forces Station Alert {{!}} 8 Wing {{!}} Royal Canadian Air Force|url=http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/8-wing/alert.page|language=en|access-date=November 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924090025/http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/8-wing/alert.page|archive-date=September 24, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> The first female commanding officer was Major Cathy Cowan, who took command in January 1996.

Budget cuts to the [[Department of National Defence (Canada)|Department of National Defence]] (DND) and Canadian Forces in 1994 and modernization of communications equipment saw CFS Alert downsized to approximately 74 personnel by 1997–1998, when most radio-intercept operations were remotely controlled by personnel at [[CFS Leitrim]]. Remaining personnel are responsible for airfield operations, construction/engineering, food service, and logistical/administrative support. As of 2024, there are about 55 people stationed at CFS Alert, and they consist of military personnel, ECCC and other civilian employees.<ref name=RCAF/>

Only six persons are now responsible for actual operations, and control of the facility was passed to DND's Information Management Group following the disbanding of CF Communications Command with force restructuring and cutbacks in the mid-1990s.

With Canada's commitment to the global war on terrorism following the [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks]] in New York City and Arlington County, Virginia, CFS Alert has received renewed and increased funding to expand its [[Signals intelligence|SIGINT]] capabilities. On April 1, 2009, the RCAF officially took responsibility for CFS Alert from Canadian Forces Information Operations Group (CFIOG).

=== Civilian contractor ===
On April 13, 2006, the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] reported that the heating costs for the station had risen, as a consequence of which the military proposed to cut back on support trade positions by using private contractors.<ref name="CbcAlert20060413">{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/04/13/north-alert-military060413.html|title=Costly fuel prompts cuts at northern military station|publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]]|work=[[CBC News]]|date=April 13, 2006|access-date=August 9, 2008}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20060414125705/http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/04/13/north-alert-military060413.html article mirror]</ref> By 2008, maintenance operations on the station—including food and housekeeping services, vehicle maintenance, powerplant operation, and heating, electrical, and plumbing—had been transferred to a civilian contractor. The contract was initially awarded to Canadian Base Operators (CBO), a subsidiary of Black & McDonald. In 2012, the contract was won by Nasittuq, a subsidiary of [[ATCO]].

In 1975, technicians employed by the weather station began collecting flask samples for a [[greenhouse gas monitoring]] program. In 1980, this grew to include the weekly collection of filter-based aerosol samples for the Canadian Arctic Aerosol Sampling Network (CAASN).<ref>{{cite web|title=Canadian Arctic Aerosol Chemistry Program (CAACP)|url=https://www.ec.gc.ca/natchem/default.asp?lang=en&n=573F3546-1|publisher=Environment and Climate Change Canada|access-date=January 22, 2017}}</ref>

By 1984, the number of ongoing monitoring programs and the amount of experimental research had outgrown the abilities of the weather station to maintain, and plans were made for the construction of a permanent observatory. This observatory, {{cvt|400|m}} southwest of Lancaster Hall (more commonly known as the far transmitter building), was opened August 29, 1986. Originally known as the Alert Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network (BAPMoN) Observatory, it was subsequently renamed the Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory in honour of the Environment Canada researcher who provided the impetus for its construction.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Whitnell|first1=Tim|title=Scientist honoured for work|url=http://www.thespec.com/news-story/2964713-scientist-honoured-for-work/|access-date=February 8, 2018|work=The Hamilton Spectator|date=August 20, 2006|language=en-CA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107120002/https://www.thespec.com/news-story/2964713-scientist-honoured-for-work/|archive-date=November 7, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> The observatory employs two technicians who reside at CFS Alert, an operator and an assistant operator (normally a university co-op student). It is managed by [[Environment and Climate Change Canada]].

While Alert has no permanent residents, it has been continuously inhabited since April 1950. This population, while initially small, grew to upwards of 250 in the 1970s and 1980s, before being downsized in the 1990s when information gathering operations were relayed to CFS Leitrim near Ottawa for collation, reducing the on-site staff considerably. Its current population ranges from a winter minimum of 65 to a summer maximum of 110, plus a variety of short-term visitors, who can swell the total to 150 or more. Alert’s temporary population typically consist of both military personnel and civilians, both making up an almost one-to-one ratio in Alert.<ref name="youtube_iBvl50zUe">{{Citation |title=CFS ALERT: Operation Boxtop From The Top of the World |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBvl50zUe_E|language=en|website=[[YouTube]]|date=2016-06-28|access-date=2022-07-14}}</ref>

==Geography==
[[File:Orthographic projection centred over Alert Nunavut.png|left|thumb|Orthographic projection centred over Alert, Nunavut.]]

Alert is {{cvt|12|km}} west of [[Cape Sheridan]], the northeastern tip of [[Ellesmere Island]], on the shore of the ice-covered [[Lincoln Sea]]. Alert lies just {{cvt|817|km}} from the [[North Pole]]; the nearest Canadian city is [[Iqaluit]], the capital of the territory of Nunavut, {{cvt|2092|km}} distant.

The settlement is surrounded by rugged hills and valleys. The shore is composed primarily of [[slate]] and [[shale]]. [[Argillite]] and [[greywacke]] also occur. Some of these rocks are [[calcareous]]. The sea is covered with [[sea ice]] for most of the year but the ice pack does move out in the summer, leaving open water. Evaporation rates are also very low, as average monthly temperatures are above freezing only in July and August.

Other places on Ellesmere Island are the weather station at [[Eureka, Nunavut|Eureka]] ({{Cvt|480|km}}) and the [[Inuit]] community of [[Grise Fiord]], {{Cvt|800|km}}, to the southwest and south, respectively. [[Siorapaluk]] ({{cvt|540|km}} to the south) is the nearest populated place in Greenland. [[Hans Island]] which from 2023 has a land border with [[Greenland]], a territory of [[Denmark]], is located {{Cvt|197|km}} to the south.

[[File:US Ambassador visits Alert, Nunavut.jpg|left|thumb|United States Ambassador [[David Jacobson (diplomat)|David Jacobson]] in front of Alert's welcome sign which features many [[fingerpost]]s pointing to places worldwide. The sign was erected prior to division and has NWT for the [[Northwest Territories]].]]

Alert has a [[polar climate]], technically a [[tundra climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|ET]]) with characteristics of an [[ice cap climate]] (EF). There is complete snow cover for at least 10 months of the year on average and snow from one year persists into the next year in protected areas, but enough melts to prevent glaciation. The warmest month, July, has an average temperature of {{convert|3.4|C}}, with only July and August averaging above freezing, and those are also the months where well over 90 per cent of the rainfall, which averages only {{cvt|17.4|mm}} per year, occurs. Rain is rare in June and September and virtually unheard of during the remaining eight months of the year. Alert is the fourth-driest locality in Nunavut and averaging only {{cvt|158.3|mm}} of [[precipitation]] per year, the vast majority of this occurring as snow. The heaviest snowfalls occur during July to October, and Alert sees relatively little snowfall during the winter months. September is usually the month with the heaviest snowfall. The [[relative humidity]] is so low that [[door handle]]s are covered in [[electrical tape]] to prevent [[static electricity]].<ref name="youtube_iBvl50zUe"/> February is the coldest month of the year with a mean temperature of {{convert|-33.2|C}}. The yearly mean, {{convert|-17.7|C}}, is the second-coldest in Nunavut after [[Eureka, Nunavut|Eureka]]. Snowfall can occur during any month of the year, and the typical year sees no more than five days in a row without frost.<ref name="ccnalert"/> Average highs rise above freezing only in mid-June and drop below freezing at the end of August.

Being far north of the [[Arctic Circle]], Alert experiences [[polar night]] from October 14 to February 28, and [[midnight sun]] from April 7 to September 4. There are two relatively short periods of twilight from about February 13 to March 22 and the second from September 19 to October 22. The [[Polar night#Civil polar night|civil polar night]] lasts from October 29 to February 11.<ref>[http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/sunrise/advanced.html Sunrise/Sunset/Sun Angle Calculator]</ref>

[[Polar night#Nautical polar night|Nautical polar night]]—where 24 hours are in effect completely dark with only a marginal [[Twilight#Astronomical twilight|astronomical twilight]]—occurs from November 19 to January 22.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timeanddate.com/sun/canada/alert|title=Time and Date.com - Alert, Nunavut, Canada|publisher=Time and Date.com|access-date=January 16, 2016}}</ref>

==History==
Alert is named after {{HMS|Alert|1856|6}}, a British ship that wintered about {{cvt|10|km}} away in 1875–76.<ref>[http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/eng/CCG/USQUE_Alert A History of the Canadian Coast Guard and Marine Services] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090928085229/http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/eng/CCG/USQUE_Alert |date=September 28, 2009 }}</ref> The ship's captain, [[George Nares]], and his crew were the first recorded Europeans to reach the northern end of [[Ellesmere Island]]. Over the following decades, several other expeditions passed through the area, most notably [[Robert Peary]] during his expedition to reach the [[North Pole]] in 1909.

===Post-World War II (1945–1970)===
Shortly after the end of [[World War II]], Charles J. Hubbard of the [[National Weather Service|United States Weather Bureau]] aroused interest in the United States and Canada for the establishment of a network of [[Arctic]] stations. His plan, in broad perspective, envisaged the establishment of two main stations, one in [[Greenland]] and the other on the archipelago, which could be reached by sea supply. These main stations would then serve as advance bases from which a number of smaller stations would be established by air. The immediate plans contemplated the establishment of weather stations only, but it was thought that a system of weather stations would also provide a nucleus of transportation, communications, and settlements, which would greatly aid programs of research in many other fields of science. It was recognized that ultimate action would depend on international cooperation, since the land masses involved were under Canadian and Danish control.

[[File: US diplomat Laura Lochman visits Alert, Nunavut, 2010-04 -a.jpg|thumb|left|A sign at [[CFS Alert]] commemorating Alert as the northernmost permanently inhabited settlement in the world. The area has been inhabited since 1950.]]

Following negotiations between the United States and Canadian governments, a group of five weather stations was established, known as the Joint Arctic Weather Stations (JAWS). On the Canadian side, the stations were to be operated by the [[Transport Canada|Department of Transport]] (DOT). The locations for each station were surveyed in 1946, and a cache of supplies was dropped in Alert in 1948 by [[USCGC Edisto|USS ''Edisto'']]. Alert was the last of the five to be settled when the first twelve personnel (eight permanent staff and four to assist with construction) arrived on April 9, 1950.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Johnson, Jr.|first1=J. Peter|s2cid=130962631|title=The Establishment of Alert, N.W.T., Canada|journal=Arctic|date=January 1, 1990|volume=43|issue=1|doi=10.14430/arctic1587|doi-access=free}}</ref> Construction began immediately, with the first priority being the creation of an ice runway on Alert Inlet before work began on the permanent all-season runway on Cape Belknap. Until its completion, supplies were parachuted in.

On July 30, 1950, nine crew members of a [[Avro Lancaster|Lancaster]], operated by the [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] (RCAF), died [[#Aircraft crashes|in a crash]] while making an [[airdrop]] of supplies to the station.

The last United States personnel were withdrawn on October 31, 1970,<ref>{{cite web|title=High Arctic Weather Stations|url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/high-arctic-weather-stations/|website=The Canadian Encyclopedia|access-date=February 9, 2018|language=en}}</ref> and the following year operation of the weather station was transferred to the newly created [[Environment and Climate Change Canada|Department of the Environment]], with the Department of Transport retaining control of airfield operations for several more years.

In April 1971, a party of federal and [[Northwest Territories]] (NWT) government officials arrived in Alert in an attempt to reach the [[North Pole]]. Alert had been the embarkation point for many North Pole expeditions that relied on weather information supplied by the weather station there. The 1971 expedition was led by [[Stu Hodgson]], former [[Commissioner of the Northwest Territories]], and included in his party were representatives of the prime minister's office, the [[Canadian Armed Forces]], the federal [[Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada|Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development]], as well as a large media group including [[Pat Carney]] of Gemini Productions, Ed Ogle of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine, Val Wake of ''[[CBC News]]'', and a television crew from California. While waiting in Alert for a weather window to fly to the pole, the party's television crew spent a lot of time filming at the weather station. The military was unhappy about the film crew working on the station, but the weather station was seen as being a sort of no-man's land. The commissioner's party made two attempts to reach the pole and failed. Some of the incidents surrounding this event are recounted in Val Wake's memoir ''My Voyage around Spray with Apologies to Captain Joshua Slocum''.<ref>''[http://valwaketheauthor.com/myvoyagearoundspray.php My Voyage Around Spray] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210901210101/https://valwaketheauthor.com/myvoyagearoundspray.php |date=September 1, 2021 }}'' Val Wake website</ref>

===Recent history (1971–present)===
[[File:BAPMoN opening ceremony.jpg|thumb|The opening of the [[Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory|Alert Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network]] in 1986.]]

In August 1975, Prime Minister [[Pierre Trudeau]] and his then three-year-old son, future prime minister [[Justin Trudeau]], visited the station and nearby [[Ward Hunt Island]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Discovery recalls Justin Trudeau's 1st visit to High Arctic — as a 3-year-old|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/arctic-cairn-ward-hunt-island-trudeau-1.4055558|work=CBC News|language=en}}</ref> In August 1986, the [[Government of Canada]] opened [[Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory|Alert Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network]].

By the 1990s, the original buildings of the original weather station had fallen into disrepair and were burned in the summer of 1996, leaving only the hydrogen shed and a wooden outhouse. The weather station and observatory offices were moved to Polaris Hall.

In early April 2006, the [[Roland McLenahan|Roly McLenahan]] Torch that was used to light the flame at [[Whitehorse]], [[Yukon]], for the [[Canada Games|Canada Winter Games]], passed through Alert.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/339251/vancouver-2010-olympic-torch-relay-coming-to-nunavut|title=Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay coming to Nunavut|publisher=CNW|date=November 21, 2008|access-date=June 4, 2014|archive-date=November 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129041458/http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/339251/vancouver-2010-olympic-torch-relay-coming-to-nunavut|url-status=dead}}</ref> While the Canada Games torch was supposed to pass over the North Pole, bad weather prevented a Canadian military [[de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter|Twin Otter]] from making the trip. The torch did not travel outside Alert that weekend (April 9–12). In August 2006, Prime Minister, [[Stephen Harper]], made a visit to Alert as part of his campaign to promote [[Territorial claims in the Arctic|Canadian sovereignty in the north]].

On November 8, 2009, the [[2010 Winter Olympics torch relay]] arrived at Alert via airplane from [[Churchill, Manitoba|Churchill]], [[Manitoba]], reaching its most northerly point on land.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/12/olympic_torch_relay_heads_to_v.html#photo32|title=Olympic Torch Relay heads to Vancouver|publisher=boston.com|work=The Big Picture|date=December 4, 2009|access-date=November 22, 2014}}</ref> The next day it travelled to [[Iqaluit]].

===Aircraft crashes===
Since Alert has not been regularly accessible by [[icebreaker]]s due to heavy ice conditions in the [[Lincoln Sea]], resupply is provided by [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] transport aircraft which land at the adjacent [[Alert Airport]]. Difficult conditions at such a remote northern location have resulted in several incidents, two of which have involved fatalities:

[[File:KB965 Crash Site.jpg|thumb|The remains of the [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] [[Avro Lancaster|Lancaster]] 965, which crashed in July 1950. Difficult Arctic conditions make landings in Alert hazardous.]]

* On July 31, 1950, around 17:00 GMT, an RCAF [[Avro Lancaster|Lancaster]] 965 from [[405 Long Range Patrol Squadron|405 Squadron Greenwood]] crashed during the establishment of the JAWS weather station when a parachute for resupplies being [[airdrop]]ped became entangled on the tail of the aircraft. The nine crew members were killed. An attempt was made to recover their bodies; a RCAF [[Consolidated PBY Catalina|Canso]] was dispatched and the [[flying boat]] landed in Dumbell Bay on August 7. The bodies of the Canadian crew were brought aboard in wooden coffins made from packing crates—the family of Colonel C.J. Hubbard of the United States Weather Bureau requested his remains be buried at Alert<ref>{{cite book|last=Pigott|first=Peter|date=2011|title=From Far and Wide: A Complete History of Canada's Arctic Sovereignty|location=Toronto|publisher=Dundurn|isbn=978-1-55488-987-7}}</ref>—but the combination of the extra weight and a tail wind resulted in an [[Rejected takeoff|aborted takeoff]]. The Canso struck ground at the narrow point of Dumbell Bay, damaging the tail section and rendering it useless. Following this, it was decided to bury the crew's remains west of the airstrip, and a military funeral was held the same day. The arrival of the [[United States Coast Guard]] icebreaker {{USCGC|Eastwind||2}} allowed repairs to be made to the Canso.<ref name="gray">{{cite book|last=Gray|first=David R.|date=2004|title=Alert: Beyond the Inuit Lands|url=https://archive.org/details/alertbeyondinuit0000gray|url-access=registration|location=Ottawa|publisher=Borealis Press|pages=[https://archive.org/details/alertbeyondinuit0000gray/page/96 96–97]|isbn=1-896133-01-0}}</ref> The wreckage of the Lancaster is still visible {{cvt|500|m}} southwest of the CE building.

* On October 11, 1952, a [[Douglas C-54 Skymaster]], flown by the United States [[Military Air Transport Service]], crashed on landing at Alert, while carrying a load of [[aviation fuel]]. The four crew members survived the crash; the aircraft was destroyed. The wreckage was pushed to the south side of the runway, where it remains today. Because of the high visibility of the wreckage due to its location at the runway, it is often mistaken for the RCAF Lancaster.<ref name="gray"/>

* On October 30, 1991, a [[Lockheed C-130 Hercules]], part of Operation Boxtop, crashed about {{cvt|20|km}} from the airfield, killing four of the 18 passengers and crew on impact. Pilot John Couch died of exposure following the crash. Couch was conducting a visual approach and descended into a hill due to a mistake regarding the plane's true location.<ref>{{cite book|last=Lee|first=Robert Mason|date=1993|title=Death and Deliverance: The True Story of an Airplane Crash at the North Pole|location=Golden CO|publisher=Fulcrum Publishing|isbn=978-1555911409|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/deathdeliverance00leer}}</ref> A blizzard and the local terrain hampered rescue efforts by personnel from CFS Alert; [[United States Air Force]] (USAF) personnel from [[Pituffik Space Base|Thule Air Base]] {{cvt|700|km}} south; [[435 Transport and Rescue Squadron]] from [[CFB Winnipeg]], and [[440 Transport Squadron|440 Transport and Rescue Squadron]], from [[CFB Edmonton|CFB Namao]] outside [[Edmonton]] (both squadrons are part of [[CFB Winnipeg|17 Wing Winnipeg]]); [[424 Transport and Rescue Squadron|424 Squadron]] from [[CFB Trenton]], Ontario; and [[413 Transport and Rescue Squadron]] from [[CFB Greenwood]], Nova Scotia. The crash investigation recommended all C-130s be retrofitted with [[Ground proximity warning system|ground proximity detectors]]. The [[Search and rescue|crash and rescue]] efforts were the basis of the film ''[[Ordeal in the Arctic]]'' (1993).

==Canadian Forces Station Alert==
{{main|CFS Alert}}
Since the beginning of the JAWS project, the [[Canadian Armed Forces]] had been interested in the establishment at Alert for several reasons: the JAWS facility extended Canadian sovereignty over a large uninhabited area which Canada claimed as its sovereign territory, and its proximity to the [[Soviet Union]] made it of strategic importance. Alert is closer to Moscow (c. {{cvt|2,500|mi|order=flip}}) than it is to [[Ottawa]] (c. {{cvt|2,580|mi|order=flip}}). Thus, the possibility of utilizing the site for the purpose of intercepting radio signals was deemed to warrant a military presence.

In 1950, [[Alert Airport]] was established. It is the only airport serving the settlement and is presently part of [[CFS Alert]]. In 1956, the RCAF, which was expanding its presence throughout the [[Northern Canada|high Arctic]] with the construction of the [[Distant Early Warning Line]] radar network, established a building uphill from the DOT's JAWS station to house "High Arctic Long Range Communications Research", or signals intelligence operations.

In 1957, Alert Wireless Station was conceived as an intercept facility to be jointly staffed by personnel from the [[Royal Canadian Navy]] (RCN) and the RCAF. Five additional buildings were constructed: a mess, three barracks/accommodations buildings, and a power house and vehicle maintenance building, in addition to the existing operations building, built in 1956. The operations building housed the radio intercept and cryptographic equipment. On September 1, 1958, control of the station was transferred from the air force to the army, and it officially began operations.

The following decade saw a dramatic expansion of the station, with a correspondingly greater number of personnel stationed there. The February 1, 1968, [[Unification of the Canadian Armed Forces|unification]] of the RCN, RCAF, and [[Canadian Army]] to form the [[Canadian Armed Forces]] saw Alert Wireless Station change its name to Canadian Forces Station Alert (CFS Alert). Its personnel were no longer drawn from only the air force or navy, but primarily from the Canadian Forces Communications Command.

[[File:Bv 206 cfsalert.jpg|left|thumb|A [[Bandvagn 206]] with [[CFS Alert]] in the background, a military station operated by the Canadian Armed Forces]]

At its peak, CFS Alert had upwards of 215 personnel posted at any one time. The station became a key asset in the global [[ECHELON]] network of the [[AUSCANNZUKUS]] intelligence sharing alliance, also known as "[[Five Eyes]]", with Alert being privy to many secret Soviet communications regarding land-based and sea-based [[intercontinental ballistic missile]] (ICBM) test launches and many operational military deployments.

The first military women to serve in Alert arrived in 1980 as part of the Canadian Forces' Women In Non-Traditional Roles study. After its completion in 1983, women were fully authorized to serve in all roles.<ref>{{cite web|title=Canadian Forces Station Alert {{!}} 8 Wing {{!}} Royal Canadian Air Force|url=http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/8-wing/alert.page|language=en|access-date=November 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924090025/http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/8-wing/alert.page|archive-date=September 24, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> The first female commanding officer was Major Cathy Cowan, who took command in January 1996.

Budget cuts to the [[Department of National Defence (Canada)|Department of National Defence]] (DND) and Canadian Forces in 1994 and modernization of communications equipment saw CFS Alert downsized to approximately 74 personnel by 1997–1998, when most radio-intercept operations were remotely controlled by personnel at [[CFS Leitrim]]. Remaining personnel are responsible for airfield operations, construction/engineering, food service, and logistical/administrative support. As of 2024, there are about 55 people stationed at CFS Alert, and they consist of military personnel, ECCC and other civilian employees.<ref name=RCAF/>

Only six persons are now responsible for actual operations, and control of the facility was passed to DND's Information Management Group following the disbanding of CF Communications Command with force restructuring and cutbacks in the mid-1990s.

With Canada's commitment to the global war on terrorism following the [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks]] in New York City and Arlington County, Virginia, CFS Alert has received renewed and increased funding to expand its [[Signals intelligence|SIGINT]] capabilities. On April 1, 2009, the RCAF officially took responsibility for CFS Alert from Canadian Forces Information Operations Group (CFIOG).

=== Civilian contractor ===
On April 13, 2006, the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] reported that the heating costs for the station had risen, as a consequence of which the military proposed to cut back on support trade positions by using private contractors.<ref name="CbcAlert20060413">{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/04/13/north-alert-military060413.html|title=Costly fuel prompts cuts at northern military station|publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]]|work=[[CBC News]]|date=April 13, 2006|access-date=August 9, 2008}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20060414125705/http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/04/13/north-alert-military060413.html article mirror]</ref> By 2008, maintenance operations on the station—including food and housekeeping services, vehicle maintenance, powerplant operation, and heating, electrical, and plumbing—had been transferred to a civilian contractor. The contract was initially awarded to Canadian Base Operators (CBO), a subsidiary of Black & McDonald. In 2012, the contract was won by Nasittuq, a subsidiary of [[ATCO]].

===Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory===
{{main|Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory}}
[[File:Gaw lab 20160601.jpg|thumb|right|The Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory, June 2016.]]

In 1975, technicians employed by the weather station began collecting flask samples for a [[greenhouse gas monitoring]] program. In 1980, this grew to include the weekly collection of filter-based aerosol samples for the Canadian Arctic Aerosol Sampling Network (CAASN).<ref>{{cite web|title=Canadian Arctic Aerosol Chemistry Program (CAACP)|url=https://www.ec.gc.ca/natchem/default.asp?lang=en&n=573F3546-1|publisher=Environment and Climate Change Canada|access-date=January 22, 2017}}</ref>

By 1984, the number of ongoing monitoring programs and the amount of experimental research had outgrown the abilities of the weather station to maintain, and plans were made for the construction of a permanent observatory. This observatory, {{cvt|400|m}} southwest of Lancaster Hall (more commonly known as the far transmitter building), was opened August 29, 1986. Originally known as the Alert Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network (BAPMoN) Observatory, it was subsequently renamed the Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory in honour of the Environment Canada researcher who provided the impetus for its construction.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Whitnell|first1=Tim|title=Scientist honoured for work|url=http://www.thespec.com/news-story/2964713-scientist-honoured-for-work/|access-date=February 8, 2018|work=The Hamilton Spectator|date=August 20, 2006|language=en-CA|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107120002/https://www.thespec.com/news-story/2964713-scientist-honoured-for-work/|archive-date=November 7, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> The observatory employs two technicians who reside at CFS Alert, an operator and an assistant operator (normally a university co-op student). It is managed by [[Environment and Climate Change Canada]].

While Alert has no permanent residents, it has been continuously inhabited since April 1950. This population, while initially small, grew to upwards of 250 in the 1970s and 1980s, before being downsized in the 1990s when information gathering operations were relayed to CFS Leitrim near Ottawa for collation, reducing the on-site staff considerably. Its current population ranges from a winter minimum of 65 to a summer maximum of 110, plus a variety of short-term visitors, who can swell the total to 150 or more. Alert’s temporary population typically consist of both military personnel and civilians, both making up an almost one-to-one ratio in Alert.<ref name="youtube_iBvl50zUe">{{Citation |title=CFS ALERT: Operation Boxtop From The Top of the World |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBvl50zUe_E|language=en|website=[[YouTube]]|date=2016-06-28|access-date=2022-07-14}}</ref>

==Geography==
[[File:Orthographic projection centred over Alert Nunavut.png|left|thumb|Orthographic projection centred over Alert, Nunavut.]]

Alert is {{cvt|12|km}} west of [[Cape Sheridan]], the northeastern tip of [[Ellesmere Island]], on the shore of the ice-covered [[Lincoln Sea]]. Alert lies just {{cvt|817|km}} from the [[North Pole]]; the nearest Canadian city is [[Iqaluit]], the capital of the territory of Nunavut, {{cvt|2092|km}} distant.

The settlement is surrounded by rugged hills and valleys. The shore is composed primarily of [[slate]] and [[shale]]. [[Argillite]] and [[greywacke]] also occur. Some of these rocks are [[calcareous]]. The sea is covered with [[sea ice]] for most of the year but the ice pack does move out in the summer, leaving open water. Evaporation rates are also very low, as average monthly temperatures are above freezing only in July and August.

Other places on Ellesmere Island are the weather station at [[Eureka, Nunavut|Eureka]] ({{Cvt|480|km}}) and the [[Inuit]] community of [[Grise Fiord]], {{Cvt|800|km}}, to the southwest and south, respectively. [[Siorapaluk]] ({{cvt|540|km}} to the south) is the nearest populated place in Greenland. [[Hans Island]] which from 2023 has a land border with [[Greenland]], a territory of [[Denmark]], is located {{Cvt|197|km}} to the south.

[[File:US Ambassador visits Alert, Nunavut.jpg|left|thumb|United States Ambassador [[David Jacobson (diplomat)|David Jacobson]] in front of Alert's welcome sign which features many [[fingerpost]]s pointing to places worldwide. The sign was erected prior to division and has NWT for the [[Northwest Territories]].]]

Alert has a [[polar climate]], technically a [[tundra climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|ET]]) with characteristics of an [[ice cap climate]] (EF). There is complete snow cover for at least 10 months of the year on average and snow from one year persists into the next year in protected areas, but enough melts to prevent glaciation. The warmest month, July, has an average temperature of {{convert|3.4|C}}, with only July and August averaging above freezing, and those are also the months where well over 90 per cent of the rainfall, which averages only {{cvt|17.4|mm}} per year, occurs. Rain is rare in June and September and virtually unheard of the remaining eight months of the year. Alert is the fourth-driest locality in Nunavut and averaging only {{cvt|158.3|mm}} of [[precipitation]] per year, the vast majority of this occurring as snow. Alert sees very little snowfall during the rest of the year. September is usually the month with the heaviest snowfall. The [[relative humidity]] is so low that [[door handle]]s are covered in [[electrical tape]] to prevent [[static electricity]].<ref name="youtube_iBvl50zUe"/> February is the coldest month of the year with a mean temperature of {{convert|-33.2|C}}. The yearly mean, {{convert|-17.7|C}}, is the second-coldest in Nunavut after [[Eureka, Nunavut|Eureka]]. Snowfall can occur during any month of the year, and the typical year sees no more than five days in a row without frost.<ref name="ccnalert"/>

Being far north of the [[Arctic Circle]], Alert experiences [[polar night]] from October 14 to February 28, and [[midnight sun]] from April 7 to September 4. There are two relatively short periods of twilight from about February 13 to March 22 and the second from September 19 to October 22. The [[Polar night#Civil polar night|civil polar night]] lasts from October 29 to February 11.<ref>[http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/sunrise/advanced.html Sunrise/Sunset/Sun Angle Calculator]</ref>

[[Polar night#Nautical polar night|Nautical polar night]]—where 24 hours are in effect completely dark with only a marginal [[Twilight#Astronomical twilight|astronomical twilight]]—occurs from November 19 to January 22.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timeanddate.com/sun/canada/alert|title=Time and Date.com - Alert, Nunavut, Canada|publisher=Time and Date.com|access-date=January 16, 2016}}</ref>
