MANASSAS, Va. – A small jet slid hundreds of feet along the runway at Manassas Regional Airport after its landing gear failed Monday afternoon, but no one was hurt.
The Bombardier CL-600 twin-engine aircraft was attempting to land around 2:20 p.m. when the gear malfunctioned, causing the plane to skid approximately 200–300 feet before coming to a stop.
MANASSAS, Va. — Early voting began Friday, September 19, 2025, across Virginia for the November 4 General Election, giving voters 45 days to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day.
Turnout on Day One
MANASSAS, Va. – The Manassas City Council will decide Monday whether to move forward with a proposal that could reshape downtown with a hotel, apartments, and a new city-owned parking garage.
Council members are set to vote on September 22 on whether to accept an unsolicited redevelopment plan submitted by MLG Construction Management under Virginia’s Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA). The plan calls for redeveloping three downtown properties: the former Olde Towne Inn site, the MIFCO property on Center Street, and the City Hall parking lot.
The vigil began at 7:30 p.m. at the LOVE sign in downtown Manassas and lasted about 20 minutes. City resident Bill Billard, who initiated the gathering, stood before the crowd and urged people to pray and remember Kirk for bringing people together.
Billard said he was surprised by the turnout in Northern Virginia. “Charlie spoke the truth that made people mad, and he paid … the sacrifice of Christ for him,” he told attendees, drawing a parallel between Kirk’s death and the suffering of Jesus. He encouraged people to “carry on the fight” and not be afraid to speak out.
