Airline Pilot Dies In-Flight, Plane Landed Safely in N.J.

NEW YORK, June 18 -- Flying through heavy fog and rain, a Continental Airlines jet landed safely at Newark International Airport just before noon on Thursday after its captain died mid-flight.

Two qualified co-pilots flew the plane, Flight 61 from Brussels to Newark, across the Atlantic and guided it to landing, officials said.

That is awful what happened to the guy. It was treated here though like there was a dire emergency. Those planes have at least 3 people capable of flying when they take off. And in this case there was an additional off duty pilot on the plane. There never was any danger. Not one second of it.

Brushing, flossing may preserve memory

MORGANTOWN, Va., June 24 (UPI) -- Brushing teeth and flossing may not only reduce gum disease and stroke but memory loss, U.S. researchers suggest.

In an ongoing study, researchers at West Virginia University in Morgantown gave oral exams, memory tests and, if subjects agreed, a blood test to 270 people age 70 or older in more than a dozen West Virginia counties.

The researchers found about 23 percent of the group suffers from mild to moderate memory loss.

And did you note they were trying to avoid taxes.
Quote:
Chief public prosecutor Volker Ziegler said: 'They were angry because they invested money in properties in Florida and he lost it all.


'This was black money - they hadn’t declared it to the revenue authorities in Germany.'


Mr Amburn, who needed hospital treatment for his injuries before being allowed home, added: 'They threatened me with the Russian mafia too. I am not sure I feel all that safe even though they are behind bars.'

U.S. Victory Was a Miracle on Grass

The stunning 2-0 victory by the United States over Spain — the best team in the world — is probably the greatest victory by the men’s national soccer team.

I meant to ask for who was this good news?

Are you an anarchist that thought it was ok for the guy to get kidnapped and tortured?

Are you happy the guy got away?

How about them trying to avoid taxes or did you not know about the story?
