Twenty years since the Exxon Valdez tanker ran aground in southeastern Alaska on March 24, 1989, spreading an 11-million-gallon crude-oil inkblot into Prince William Sound, the formerly pristine coastal waters once again appear clean and untouched...
Such discrepancies are hard to explain. The Harvard researchers' data, gathered from the Osiris database, was reviewed by both NEJM and TIME and found to be accurate as of March 26, 2009. Osiris, for its part, collects financial information from yet another financial database, FactSet Research Systems, which sources its records directly from public filings by the tobacco firms and the insurers to the Security and Exchange Commission. "I think the numbers in the Osiris database are aggregate numbers from every division of a company like Northwestern, whereas Northwestern might be looking at a subset of their total holdings," Boyd...

...preliminary investigative report, released on March 6, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said Airbus had initially said it didn't know of any other similar events. But when the same thing happened again, involving a different aircraft, on Dec. 27, Airbus combed its computerized flight files and found data fingerprints suggesting similar ADIRU problems had occurred on a total of four flights. One of the earlier instances, in fact, included a September 2006 event on the same plane that entered the uncommanded dive in October (the other three flights had continued safely on). The same VCR-sized ADIRU...
...Australians' March report concluded that the October dive was due to a series of events that, when combined, was "close to the worst possible scenario that could arise from the design limitation in the AOA processing algorithm." Airbus also told investigators that this particular mathematical formula for flying the plane is found only on its A330 and A340 models. "Different algorithms were in use on other Airbus types, which were reported to be more robust to AOA spikes," the report said. "The manufacturer advised that AOA spikes matching the above scenario would not have caused a pitch-down event...
