* feat: mashable parser As usual the date is giving me issues because of formatting discrepancies: AssertionError: '2016-12-13T22:33:06.000Z' == '2016-12-14T03:33:06.000Z' Not sure how we wanna deal with Twitter card embeds that don’t show up? Also, image credits did not show up in preview. * test: fixed date format * transforming .image-credit to figcaption

class="article-content blueprint"> <p>A large military-style plane, which looked remarkably like a C-130, circled Manhattan for at least 30 minutes on Tuesday afternoon, causing quite the commotion online.</p> <p>Despite the concern from New Yorkers, Eric Durr, Director of Public Affairs at New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs told <em>Mashable</em> the plane was simply an HC-130, a search and rescue plane, conducting routine training.</p> <p>Durr explained that the folks flying the plane and helicopters around mid-town Manhattan on Tuesday, a crew based out of Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton, "specialize in retrieving people who are down behind enemy lines."</p> <div class="see-also"><p class="see-also-link">SEE ALSO: <a href="http://mashable.com/2016/12/02/pilot-says-hello/">This clever pilot used flight radar to spell out a friendly message</a></p></div> <p>Though Durr knew what was going on, the rest of New York, and even some in the military, was left in the dark. A spokesperson at Air Mobility Command told <em>Mashable </em>they didn't know why the plane was there and were not sure if it was theirs. They were not made aware of any flight mission in the area today.</p> <figure class="image"><p><img class="" data-credit-name="lili sams/mashable" data-credit-provider="custom type" src="http://i.amz.mshcdn.com/3YAi1IrZ1daj3NN9ZYez_1Bqj0A=/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F317499%2Flili-sams-mashable-2_720.jpg" data-fragment="m!e8cb" data-image="http://i.amz.mshcdn.com/3YAi1IrZ1daj3NN9ZYez_1Bqj0A=/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F317499%2Flili-sams-mashable-2_720.jpg" data-micro="1"></p> <div class="image-credit"><p>Image: lili sams/mashable</p></div></figure><figure class="image"><p><img class="" data-credit-name="lili sams/mashable" data-credit-provider="custom type" src="http://i.amz.mshcdn.com/0tBEhYPFu7yFx2rT4bVvPA4AuCQ=/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F317548%2Flili-sams-mashable-3_720.jpg" data-fragment="m!fc8f" data-image="http://i.amz.mshcdn.com/0tBEhYPFu7yFx2rT4bVvPA4AuCQ=/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F317548%2Flili-sams-mashable-3_720.jpg" data-micro="1"></p> <div class="image-credit"><p>Image: lili sams/mashable</p></div></figure><figure class="image"><p><img class="" data-credit-name="lili sams//mashable" data-credit-provider="custom type" src="http://i.amz.mshcdn.com/eFspFm_IxvLoyH6cgn6CVvNcYRU=/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F317546%2Flili-sams-mashable-4_720.jpg" data-fragment="m!c821" data-image="http://i.amz.mshcdn.com/eFspFm_IxvLoyH6cgn6CVvNcYRU=/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F317546%2Flili-sams-mashable-4_720.jpg" data-micro="1"></p> <div class="image-credit"><p>Image: lili sams//mashable</p></div></figure><p>According to Tom Namako, Deputy News Director at <em>Buzzfeed</em>, the NYPD was initially unaware of the reasoning behind the plane, though they later said the planes were part of a military training exercise.</p> <div class="twitter-wrapper sort-rerender"><div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr">The <a href="https://twitter.com/NYPDnews" target="_blank">@NYPDnews</a> just told <a href="https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews" target="_blank">@BuzzFeedNews</a> they don't know why this plane is circling Manhattan. <a href="https://t.co/MHL4wktbCH" target="_blank">https://t.co/MHL4wktbCH</a></p> <p>— Tom Namako (@TomNamako) <a href="https://twitter.com/TomNamako/status/808782171829891072" target="_blank">December 13, 2016</a></p> </blockquote></div></div> <p><em>Mashable </em>later confirmed that the plane was part of the 102nd Rescue Squadron of the New York Air National Guard, which is a unit of the New York Air National Guard 106th rescue wing.</p> <div class="twitter-wrapper sort-rerender"><div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Col.
