The apparent "sick out" by LA Metro bus drivers inconvenienced thousands of Metro passengers by disrupting some of the most heavily used bus lines in the city.

And while riders seem to empathize with the drivers complaints over a failure of public safety on buses ... they're NOT all on-board with the proposed solutions to beefing up security.

KNX BIG STORY: LA's Bus Riders Union are not fans of more cops on Metro buses & trains

There's turbulence ... the type of choppy air that just about every long haul flight runs into, resulting in bumps and shakes of an airplane ... and then there's the type of turbulence that sends passengers to the hospital.

That was, unfortunately, the experience of a Singapore Airlines flight last night ... where extreme turbulence got so bad, 31 people onboard were injured to the point of having to be hospitalized.  One passenger ended up dying of a heart attack.

Thanks to climate change, flights are being shaken and jarred with more intensity than ever before.

Laura Einsetler is a veteran and active commercial airline pilot with over 30 years experience ... she's certified on just about all of Boeing's big jets.

The prosecution and defense arguments concluded today in Donald Trump's criminal fraud case in Manhattan.  

Juliet Papa has been covering the Trump trial for news radio station 1010 WINS in New York City ... she tells us that highlights from the case have included a feisty Stormy Daniels ... and a calm, cool and collected Michael Cohen.

But the strangest thing she's seen so far was a clash between the judge in the case and a witness for Trump.

Papa says she can't predict what the verdict will be. 

She says the jurors have been highly engaged with arguments, BUT this is a highly technical paperwork fraud case over a hush money payment. 

Court will be back in session for closing arguments next Tuesday.

"Friends" star Matthew Perry died with significant levels of the drug ketamine in his blood stream.

While Perry was receiving prescribed ketamine from a psychiatrist as part of his therapy for depression ... it was pretty clear that Perry was getting large additional quantities of the anesthetic drug.

And that's what the DEA and LAPD are investigating.  But how does someone get their hands on illicit ketamine?

KNX chief correspondent Charles Feldman put that question to Dr. Adam Pruett, he's a psychiatrist practicing in Vermont ... and was one of the early adopters of ketamine for therapeutic purposes.
