...than 150 ft. into the air. "It didn't seem to be able to get up," said Mike Scardino, who was driving nearby. Two miles east of the airport, Evelyn Pourciau looked up at the sky from her neighborhood of Kenner, a middle-class suburb of one-story brick houses. "I saw the belly of it," she said about the 727. "It was spitting and popping like it couldn't get the motor running." Watching in horror, other residents saw the 727's left wing tilt toward the ground. They thought the pilot was trying to bank...

...Stallone's lavish, sprawling house behind a high brick wall and green canvas gates in Pacific Palisades, slightly to the left of Beverly Hills, film memorabilia vie for space with fine art in rooms accented with rich woods and polished brass. A mammoth Leroy Neiman portrait of Rocky hangs near a Rodin sculpture, a boxer's headguard inscribed "To Sly from Muhammad Ali" rests near Andy Warhol oils. Another treasured possession is a worn photo album that the star uses to document his "roaches to riches" story. Stallone, dressed in running shoes and warmup suit, puffing...
