...answer, they agreed, was to woo over a hostile media. In the 1980s, Britain's press barons fervently backed Margaret Thatcher and they continued their support for her successor, John Major, when he moved into 10 Downing Street in 1990. Their reporters gave his Labour challenger, Neil Kinnock, short shrift. On the eve of the 1992 election, the country's biggest tabloid, the Sun, printed a stark message on its front page: IF KINNOCK WINS TODAY WILL THE LAST PERSON TO LEAVE BRITAIN PLEASE TURN OUT THE LIGHTS...

To find data on Hanni's flight, Mogel - who runs a business developing software products - had to sift through FAA records to see when and where her flight actually landed. "That process of brute force takes about 30 minutes per flight," he says. "In 2006, there were 120,000 cancelled flights and 16,000 diverted flights. We're talking 136,000 flights to look at." Castelveter admitted that with new reporting procedures, the BTS data...
