...factories because of withering demand. "Now that our producers are forced to slash production, I think it is absolutely unacceptable to spend money on acquiring [imported] foreign cars," Putin said. In Indonesia, the government is slapping import restrictions on about 500 items. Importers will require licenses and can only bring in the goods through specified ports. The decree announcing the measures said they were necessary because "the global economic crisis has resulted in uncertainty and caused unbeneficial impact to the economy of Indonesia...
...Helga. It's all those other quiet, elusive canvases that will stay with us. The canons of art history have loosened quite a bit in recent decades, enough so that no full picture of the modern world can exclude what he did. Who knows? Someday MoMA may even bring Christina all the way in from the cold...
...good one. All 155 passengers and crew of U.S. Airways flight 1549, which was forced to make an emergency water landing in the Hudson River on Jan. 15, survived - making it the rare accident that airlines and the NTSB might look forward to investigating. Water landings (attempts to bring an aircraft down in a controlled manner on water) and water crashes (which are anything but controlled) are somewhat of a mystery to the engineers who design, build and study aircraft safety features and procedures. It's difficult to predict how an aircraft will hold up on impact and after crashing...
...flock of birds and when it touched water, the two pilots in the cockpit were tasked with deciding what options they had as they glided dangerously over northern New York City. The choice of landing in water likely seemed the best option considering those circumstances. Pilots are trained to bring planes in for a smooth landing on water the same way that they would on land, keeping landing gear stowed to make the plane more boat-like. They also have different ditching checklists depending on whether they are above or below 10,000 feet - Flight 1549 was at about...

Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Salon.com's "Ask the Pilot" column, later rebutted those claims, noting that a number of jets have landed on water and managed to bring some or all of their passengers to safety. "Any ditching is very dangerous, with the possibility of the airplane cartwheeling, flipping, or otherwise breaking apart," Smith told TIME. "But if you had to ditch, I can't think of a more opportune location: a relatively calm river adjacent to a large...
