The tradition of wearing hats to the Derby began with its first running in 1875. They began taking on a life of their own in the 1960s, growing larger and more ornate so the people wearing them could be spotted on television.The hats are just one of the features among the 150,000 fans jammed under the Twin Spires for a fashion show mixed with an all-day party that is heavy on traditions like mint juleps, singing “My Old Kentucky Home” while they wait for the 2-minute drama to see the winning horse get a garland of red roses draped on its back.A race fan stands in a tunnel at Churchill Downs before the 151st running of the Kentucky Oaks horse race Friday, May 2, 2025, in Louisville, Ky.

(AP Photo/Jon Cherry)Steve Cowell, a Colorado-based aviation expert, suggested the FAA should take a more active role in scrutinizing smaller operators with known financial difficulties.

“Unfortunately, when people fly, they oftentimes do not check into the safety records or financial viability of the company,” Cowell said. “They’re placing their trust and confidence in the abilities of not only the pilots but the maintainers.”New York Helicopter, operator of the aircraft that crashed Thursday, had gone through a bankruptcy and been sued twice by creditors in recent months,

The company declined to answer questions, but released a statement saying it was “profoundly saddened” by the deaths of its passengers and pilot.“The safety and well-being of our passengers and crew has always been the cornerstone of our operations,” it said.
