Southwest Airlines says it is ending cabin service earlier to reduce chance of injury
/ AP
Southwest Airlines says it is ending its cabin service earlier on its flights starting next month.
Beginning
on Dec. 4, a company spokesperson said, flight attendants will begin
preparing the cabin for landing at an altitude of 18,000 feet instead of
10,000 feet. The change in procedure is designed to "reduce the risk of
in-flight turbulence injuries" for crew members and passengers, the
company said.
For passengers, that means they will need to do the
usual pre-landing procedures — such as ensuring their seatbelts are
fastened and returning their seats to an upright position — earlier than
before.
While turbulence-related fatalities are quite rare, injuries
have piled up over the years. More than one-third of all airline
incidents in the United States from 2009 through 2018 were related to
turbulence, and most of them resulted in one or more serious injuries
but no damage to the plane, the National Transportation Safety Board reported.

Police use pepper spray when large brawl breaks out after Michigan upsets No. 2 Ohio State
/ CBS/AP
Players from both teams engaged in a massive brawl after Michigan pulled off a shocking 13-10 upset of No. 2 Ohio State in Columbus Saturday, prompting officers to deploy pepper spray.
The
incident appeared to have started when Michigan defensive end Derrick
Moore attempted to plant a team flag at midfield in Ohio Stadium, and
was confronted by several Ohio State players. The situation escalated
when an Ohio State player tore the flag off the pole.
Several skirmishes broke out, with players from both teams throwing punches.

A spokesperson for Ohio State
confirmed to CBS News in an email that law enforcement officers deployed
pepper spray during the fight.
"Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement
agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation," the school
spokesperson said. "During this scuffle, multiple officers representing
Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray."
The school spokesperson
said that the Ohio State University Police Department was the lead
agency patrolling the game and will investigate the fight. It's unclear
if there were any serious injuries.
The video player is currently playing an ad.
"For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game," Michigan running back Kalel Mullings told reporters, according to
CBS Sports. "Just bad for the sport, bad for college football. But at
the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. Can't be
fighting and stuff just because you lost a game. All that fighting, we
have 60 minutes, we have four quarters to do all that fighting and now
you want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's just bad for the game.
Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better."

With the upset, the 7-5
Wolverines ended the 10-2 Buckeyes' hopes of returning to the Big Ten
title game. Michigan's Dominic Zvada kicked the game-winning 21-yard
field goal with 45 seconds left.
Ohio State got the ball back but
couldn't move it, with Will Howard throwing incomplete on fourth down to
seal the Wolverines' fourth straight win over their bitter rival.
This
Ohio State loss in the "The Game" might have been the toughest of the
past four because Michigan was unranked and wrapping up a disappointing
season. The Wolverines were also playing without a couple of top
players: tight end Colston Loveland and cornerback Will Johnson.
The Buckeyes were favored by 21 points, the widest point spread for this rivalry since 1978, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
