...learned from other structures too. As a kid he built model aircraft, and as an adult he flies real ones, both fixed-wing and helicopters. He did his national service in the Royal Air Force and regards the time he spent working in a hangar as a big influence on his later designs. Way back in the genetic code of his buildings is a feeling for hangar-like lightness, strength and frugality of consumption that came out brilliantly in such projects as his 1981 design for the airport at Stansted in England. Earlier airports had massive concentrations of ductwork above...
...most common jetliner in commercial aviation service could be headed for the repair hangar. The National Transportation Safety Board approved 10 safety recommendations for the Boeing 737 on Tuesday. The agency's action followed its investigation into two fatal air crashes, the 1994 crash of a USAir flight outside Pittsburgh and the 1991 crash of a United Airlines flight outside Colorado Springs. The board determined that a mechanical problem probably caused the crashes when the airliner rudder reversed, and recommended that the problem be fixed by making the rudder system redundant.

...picture window cut into the garage's wall. Yes, it's nice to be a TV star's car, just as it's nice to be a TV star (Seinfeld owns an additional 60 or so cars, not all of them Porsches, which he warehouses in an airport hangar in Santa Monica). And now that even Mikhail Gorbachev has begun doing commercials for Pizza Hut, it seems pointless to argue with the medium that so dominates our lives and culture. Most of us threw in the towel long ago. But not Jerry Seinfeld. While the rest of America has been...
...killed 35 people in the Caribbean and the East Coast, with most of the damage in South Carolina. The Federal Emergency Management Agency sent crews to the region, equipped with cots, tents, generators, blankets, food and other supplies. In Cape Canaveral, NASA moved space shuttle Atlantis back into its hangar and delayed its September 14 mission by at least two days. Georgia Governor Zell Miller declared a state of emergency for 11 counties. -- Josh Dubow
