...travel scenario that has become all too familiar for Marion Blakey, administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A severe thunderstorm hits a hub airport like Dallas-Fort Worth, grounding all of the planes there for two hours. Soon those delays spread to airports nationwide, and flights that weren't even bound for Dallas could be canceled. By that point, tens of thousands of passengers might be affected and millions in revenue lost by the airlines. And when the next storm hits, it will happen all over again...
...England, give us a delicious taste of blue-collar anger. This time around, the guitars might be a little louder and the sound a bit fuller, but the disc stays true to the promise and spirit of the group’s debut. The album is structured like a thunderstorm whose beauty is at first lost amidst the chaos of pouring rain, booming thunder, and terrifying lightning.

Shooting took a brisk 60 days; post-production took a full year and 10 special-effects companies. Every frame was manipulated and color-shifted to create an intense, thunderstorm palette.

The Persian King Xerxes becomes 9 ft. tall. In one scene a nubile oracle dances...

The center cost David Rockefeller - the last of John Sr.?s six grandchildren, he is now 91 - about $30 million...
...They flew into a cloud of rain and dust in Kuwait City, transferred to a U.S. Air Force C-17, landed in a pounding thunderstorm at Baghdad International and, because the weather had grounded the US military Blackhawk fleet, boarded an armored SUV and drove into city along the notoriously perilous airport road. At one point they were slowed by a traffic blockage. They went straight to meetings that continued into dinner with Iraqi leaders at U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad?s residence. The sound of an exploding mortar round that had been lobbed over the green zone?s walls disrupted...
