    The Air France Airbus 380 hit the smaller plane while taxiing to the runway for takeoff. The smaller plane then caught on fire. Emergency crews eventually put the fire out.The passangers remained calm as they were alerted to what happened. After a few hours the plane was evacuated and everyone was safe. Their luggage was also ok. This happened because the smaller plane was landing when the other was getting ready for take off. Everyone was safe.

    I think that if your trained to fly then you should have to watch where your going just like in a car unless you cant see where your going or in this case flying.
  •  
    well apparently someone wasnt doing their job if planes hit each other unless there was communication mix ups. thats bad though how cant you notice 2 planes aboyt too hit.
  •  
    I agree. It takes a lot more than just being awake to control an airport. Someone wasnt doing their job.
  •  
    Someone should be fired.
  •  
    I do not understand how this happened. How could someone at the airport let the planes in the same area at the same time!
  •  
    The people flying this plane are not to blame, the people in the control towers should be able to maintain control of these kind of things. I wouldn't be too happy about this because of somebody else being careless.

American detained in North Korea. - 0 views

  •  
    Not much information given although there is an American citizen being detained in North Korea. The United States is working extremely hard to negotiate the Americans release. This wouldn't be the first time North Korea has captured and held an American citizen hostage. North Korea has detained several Americans in recent years, increasing tension levels between the two countries.
  •  
    They shouldn't do that to Americans. We should have our rights in other countries too.
  •  
    Just because we are americas it shouldn't give people the right in other countries to treat us like dirt.

3-D Avatars Could Put You in Two Places at Once - 1 views

  •  
    Probably within the next five years, we will have the luxury of being in two places at one time using 3-D avatars. Instead of getting up early, getting dressed, and changing your schedule around for a meeting, you could just open up your laptop and within the matter of two minutes, you can be in a virtual conference room. The program will allow you to move your head to look around the room at the other people and while your avatar is wide awake and taking notes for you, you could be sleeping.

    If technology does get this advanced i'm going to be not too suprised. Things are changing very quickly in our world and nothing suprises me anymore.
  •  
    That's actually crazy. Technology is getting so advanced.
  •  
    I personally do not like that idea. America is already making a big deal of people not doing anything like not working and people being over weight. This is just another chance for people in the world to sit at home and do nothing.
  •  
    That would be awesome, it's like facetime but 3-D.
  •  
    This sounds like it could be a bad idea. it would just make people lazier than what they are. I wouldnt do this.

    This is ridiculous. This whole month so far was rain and disaster.
  •  
    I wish summer would come and it would stay nice out already.
  •  
    Im sick of the rain. i wish it was summer already.
  •  
    I enjoy the rain probably more than the normal person. Lets also hope for some cool thunderstorms would be awesome. Let it rain.
  •  
    What is with this weather? When is summer weather going to come? It seems like this summer is just going to be full of rain its been 2 months of rain everyday.

    Because ford is reasonably priced and keeps close watch on the economy. Every other car company out there needs to follow in ford's footsteps to keep the balance in our economy.
  •  
    In New York a ford motor combined sales and improved pricing to roar past earning forecasts.This started in 1998. Ford earned $2.6 billion, or 61 cents a share, up 22% from a year earlier, the company said Tuesday.In 1998 was the last time they earned that much in the first quarter. The past quarters performance performance underlined the continued turnaround at the company, which has now posted seven straight quarters of profit after years of losses.
  •  
    You would think with the economy, vehicle sales would go down. But it's good to hear that they are not, at least for Ford their not.
  •  
    Hopefully this will continue and help the boost the rest of our economy.
  •  
    This would be good for them because then it would help them out
  •  
    Hopefully things stay good for them.

3 Stages of Alzheimer's disease - 0 views

  •  
    Alzheimer's doesn't start when family and friends start to notice differences in someone, it starts way before the symptoms become known. By the time a doctor tries to treat it, patient's functions are usually significantly impaired and too far gone. Doctors hope that the disease could be detected earlier for better treatment. There are three stages of Alzheimer's disease. The first stage is for research purposes only. The second stage is when a person starts having small changes in memory, behavior, and thinking. The third stage is when memory, thinking and behavioral symptoms have become so damaging that the patient's ability to function is hindered.

Breathalyer at prom for a new york school - 0 views

  •  
    Saratoga High School in New York will have breathalyzer for each student attending prom next month. It will be at the front door to ensure that every student will attend prom in a sober fashion. Their principal says the new guideline is in response to growing concerns about student safety and alcohol use. Mostly all of the students of this school said its a good idea and they like this idea. They think that students should be checked for this since its not legal for anyone underage to do no matter the circumstances.

    I think it's a good idea. No one wants to have some drunk annoying people ruining prom for everyone else. If you're going to be stupid, do it on your own time.
  •  
    This should be at our prom. This could make sure no one gets hurt drinking and driving. It could also make sure there is no chaos at proms.
  •  
    This is a good thing to do because it will keep the kids safer and a more enjoyable prom rather then being arrested.
  •  
    I agree that they should be checked. It's a good thing because it can make alot of bad things that could have happened, not possible.
  •  
    I think this is a good idea, i agree with Rachel. Nobody wants a drunk annoying person at their prom ruining it for everybody else.
  •  
    This is a good idea because there are probably many students who would show up to prom under the influence of alcohol.
  •  
    It makes sense to use precautions like this. Every year there's students who drink before prom and usually get arrested. Doing this might affect how many people actualy do drink before prom. Also it will cut down on the dangers of drunk driving.

    This is why the planes' condition should be checked, and double checked before taking off.
  •  
    That must have been really bad
  •  
    This is why they need to be checking everything anymore. You never now what people do to planes, and i feel sorry for every body that family member's got hurt
  •  
    That is so sad u just never know what is going to happen. You jut have to be careful and be safe and look out for things.
  •  
    this is not so much someone elses fault as it was mechanic failure. planes are safe but things do happen
  •  
    Airports should take more time to check their planes to make sure there is nothing wrong with them.
  •  
    A plain should be check more carefully before it takes off.
