Explained in plain English
What is 'local time'?
'Local time' simply refers to the time zone of the specific location where an event occurs. In this story, the crash happened in central Texas, so the emergency call was received at 13:33 according to the time in that part of Texas. It helps avoid confusion when reporting events across different time zones.
