It was delayed by a day, but the annual tradition returned to Beachland Park on Monday. Dozens of dogs descended on the West Hartford pool for their annual 'Pooch Plunge.'Sponsored by the West Hartford Dog Park Coalition and local businesses, the event is part of an effort to bring the town a permanent dog park.

Shortly after takeoff, an United Flight 1274 pilot declared an emergency after noticing that an unlatched window in the cockpit had opened. The plane, which is a Boeing 737-900, took off from Bradley International Airport on April 18. It had already reached 4,000 feet, but was able to return to a runway at Bradley, where it landed safely. A spokesperson for United Airlines told NBC Connecticut that they "re-accommodated their customers on another aircraft" after the incident.
