...Montreal Canadiens stuck Stanley in the trunk of a car and headed to a victory celebration. They got a flat, and flipped Stanley onto a snow bank so they could pull out the spare. After changing the tire, they drove off without the Cup. (They returned later that evening to find the Cup still on the side of the road.) Stanley has been punted, abandoned -and, of course, stolen. During the 1962 playoffs, the Cup was on display in the lobby of Chicago Stadium when an angry Canadiens fan snatched it from a glass case and fled for the exits...

...Airbus 330 is a top-of-the-line aircraft, says Learmount, and one of the safest in the world. "We're talking about the aviation equivalent of the modern, expensive, very sophisticated car," he says. "It just never goes wrong, and if it does, it self-diagnoses and sends messages back to base." But despite all these technological advances, progress can still be made in dealing with fire detection, he says. "[Since the Swissair flight] there were loads of people in the industry saying it is just not acceptable to have modern airplanes being churned out with the most amazing...
