NTSB Establishes Cause for Deadly Newark Ship Fire

The NTSB says it now knows what caused the deadly 2023 cargo ship fire in the Port of Newark in New Jersey. Federal investigators say the fire started because of an overtaxed loading vehicle, explaining the Jeep’s transmission fluid boiled over and ignited a hot engine surface. The blaze that burned for several days killed two Newark fire Captains and the NTSB says the Newark Fire Division exposed firefighters to unnecessary risk since first responders were not fully equipped to handle a marine fire. The feds are issuing a series of recommendations for all agencies, suggesting they have written emergency plans, and more formal maritime training for firefighters.

New York Gears Up for Fashion Week 2026 New York City is moving into Fashion Week mode once again, as New York Fashion Week (NYFW) is set for February 11–16, 2026, drawing designers, editors, buyers, celebrities, and global brands to Manhattan for one of the fashion industry’s most influential weeks. Guided by the official CFDA calendar, the week shapes the pace of runway shows and presentations while energizing the wider NYFW ecosystem of private appointments, showroom visits, brand activations, and events unfolding across multiple neighborhoods. This season’s schedule is drawing attention for major creative transitions, including Rachel Scott’s debut for Proenza Schouler, a milestone that signals a new chapter for the brand and a headline moment as the week begins. Beyond the runway, NYFW’s impact is visible across the city. Fashion Week drives activity for production teams, photographers, stylists, hair and makeup artists, drivers, venues, and hospitality partners, an annual reminder that New York’s fashion identity is supported by a vast creative workforce operating behind the scenes. NYFW 2026 also reflects the industry’s evolving expectations around values and standards. The CFDA has announced that beginning in September 2026, animal fur will no longer be permitted in collections listed on the Official NYFW Schedule, giving designers time to adjust ahead of the change. As the countdown continues, New York is preparing to do what it does best: convert energy into culture, sidewalks into street-style runways, and a packed week of shows into an international moment, setting the tone not only for the upcoming season, but for the global fashion conversation that follows.
