...Breen Combes in the Arabian dance was sultry and intoxicating, as was her partner, Jaime Diaz. And was there ever a Dew Drop who lived up so greatly to her name as Misa Kuranaga? Backed by a corps de ballet of lanky, tall flowers, the slight Kuranaga seemed to float among them like a drop of mist. Not every performance was as stunning, however. As the Sugar Plum Fairy, Larissa Ponomarenko was very pretty and precise, but a bit too elusive, and her chilled rapport with Roman Rykine as her Cavalier did not help. Nevertheless, there is something about seeing...

Basically, he said, "Look, each state will be limited - one float, one band and one military unit, and that's it. No big deal." And it wasn't. The parade took just two hours...
...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: will it break up and quickly sink, or stay intact and float long enough for passengers to evacuate, as it is designed to do? Variables such as the size and direction of waves, the altitude of the aircraft, and the speed at which it descends vary widely from one situation to the next. The men who saved flight 1549, pilot Chesley B. Sullenberger...
...some emergency water landings (both uncontrolled and controlled) have had relatively minor fatalities.

In general, airplanes are designed to "float long enough" to get people off the plane, says Brown; in practice, the crew generally has about 90 seconds to evacuate...
