There’s a beautiful island in the Caribbean called St. Martin. Well, it’s also called St. Maarten on the Dutch side (it’s split in half). If you ever visit, you’re sure to come back with a case of the Mondays. Coming home from paradise is always tough. But for this woman, who was the victim of [...]
Last week an air traffic controller was posted up at his console doing his thing. Plans were coming in and out of the Denver airport with ease until a distress call came in from a pilot. The pilot radioed in smoke on the plane and requested fire trucks when the plane touched down. When air [...]
