Just a day before the Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-800 crash-landed in light fog, killing at least nine of the 134 passengers on board, a congressional committee in Washington heard testimony from industry experts on the ways in which various regulatory steps and changes to aircraft have greatly improved passenger survivability in airplane crashes. In testimony to members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Candace Kolander, air-safety coordinator for the Association of Flight Attendants, a flight-attendant union that has long pushed for improvements to onboard safety, listed three main successes that are proving to save lives...
...smoothed my dress I smiled away from him, thank you very much.And furthermore: as we trundled off, I saw just how sweet this moment would be.

He sees life through a lens of feverish paranoia, which makes his observations abundantly surreal and vividly eroticized, simultaneously reminiscent of Kesey and Orwell. Through his eyes, Vilnius is “a dead city, and above it hangs a fog of submissive, disgusting fear.” It has become a landscape “where Russia’s expansionism and Europe’s spirit went to war,” and one that has anticlimatically subsided into an achromatic wasteland. To Vargalas, Vilnius is the worst kind...
...helicopter fleet in the U.S. Last year, the company experienced two fatal crashes in two months. The first accident, in May 2008, may fit the industry's crash profile. The helicopter went down on a night flight to the airport in Madison, Wisconsin, possibly as it encountered rain and fog, according to the transportation safety board's initial report. Three crew members died...
