...minutes later, Kirby was flying 600 ft. above dense forest at 122 m.p.h., near the spot where the first pilot aborted. Kirby lost radio contact with the hospital in Houston. His helicopter dropped suddenly, to 100 ft. Its rotor sliced into thick pine trees. The cabin smashed into three pieces and landed upside down, drenched in jet fuel. Kirby, the patient and two medical crew members died. (See a story about water landings...
...subject that can lend itself to bleak conclusions, at least to some Western eyes. In the final scene of "A Spoiled Man," the title character, a gardener's assistant much abused by fate, has died and been buried on his master's land, his tiny cabin picked clean of his possessions. But to Mueenuddin, who imbues this character with a strong sense of resignation and acceptance, it's not an unhappy ending. He sees it as somewhat hopeful.

Kangaroo Route. Qantas is now flying its A380s from Sydney to London three times a week. They're 10% more fuel efficient than other jumbo jets and loaded with wi-fi, quieter engines and 17-in. monitors in the Marc Newson-designed first-class cabin.

If you're seeking out a hearty burger, a stimulating game of darts...
...learned several things. There's the five-row rule. When a professor in England, Ed Galea, analyzed the seating charts of more than 100 plane crashes and interviewed 1,900 survivors and 155 cabin-crew members, he discovered that survivors usually move an average of five rows before they can get off a burning aircraft. That's the cutoff. In his view - and he's done a lot of statistical analysis - the people who are most likely to survive a plane crash are people who are sitting right next to the exit row or one row away.
