...they do, they tend to happen where there is structural strain (like at door hatches), not in the forward cargo compartment, as in this case with Qantas. (The cause of the accident remains a mystery, and the U.S. is sending a team from the National Transportation Safety Board to assist in the investigation in the Philippines...
...Step Brothers is the latest chapter in Ferrell's exploration of the man who is not nearly as cool as he thinks he is.

He is suicidal, hears voices inside his head and talks to himself. And yet his trial, which is taking place in a small courtroom at Guantánamo Bay, will still influence the future of the tribunal system. Under the rules of the tribunal, Hamdan faces a jury of military officers who will decide his innocence or guilt. Whether their decision is perceived as fair...
