The passenger who shows his ticket to the smiling stewardess and buckles himself into his narrow seat has a 99.999% chance of arriving at his destination safe and sound. Indeed, flying has become so routine that the notably pragmatic insurance companies charge pilots no more for policies than they...
...board, Coker forced Mrs. Carver, who was still recovering from the birth of a son three weeks earlier, to help tie up her husband in the bathroom. That done, he grabbed a steak knife and assaulted her. He then took her with him as he fled in the Carver car. Sheriffs deputies captured him on a dead-end road a few hours later...
