TSA Airport Screening: Come Die With Me
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyYou are witnessing the death of an industry. What the eco-freaks could never do -- drum up significant support for mass transit -- the TSA has done in just one decade. Hard to believe there was a time when flying was glamorous, but glamorous, exciting and sexy it was from the 1940s through the 1960s. Stewardesses wore cute little suits, and passengers dressed up too. Airline meals weren't great, but they sure beat the tiny bags of pretzels we get now. Back in the day, the word airplane conjured up images of passengers disembarking in Honolulu, welcomed by young women holding leis. An ...
Air Wreck Expert Searches for Plane Truth
By Chris Epting - AOL News
(Oct. 13) -- Pat Macha's next mission will take him to California's Mojave Desert on a quest to help a man honor the dead. "He promised his dad he'd visit this grave, so we're taking him out there in mid-October," Macha recently explained to AOL News. "The jet bomber crashed in 1955. The crew chief was going to ride in the fourth seat, but he got bumped by a Catholic priest. The plane hit a mountain, and everyone was killed. The nephew of the pilot told his dad he'd visit where his dad's brother died, and so we're doing it. The crew chief, the one who got bumped, is still alive. He'll be ...

Perils of the Hudson: A River Runs Through Us
By Mia Navarro - Politics DailyAs a I look out my living room windows in the Washington Heights area of Manhattan, all I see is a beautiful, peaceful patch of the Hudson River, framed by the green of the Palisades, the line of cliffs on the New Jersey side. It's what sold me on the apartment almost 10 years ago when I bought it (and it was affordable), and it is what I wake up to most days.
