Delays after passenger jet lands at Heathrow with engine fire
Fri May 24, 2013
- Glad to see all the pilots' and flight crews' and ground crews' training and all the safety systems worked as intended, so everyone is safe -- good work, guys.
Pulling the plug: ICU 'culture' key to life or death decision
Tue May 21, 2013
- I've had this type of discussion with my mother, and with clients while I was practicing law. It's extremely difficult, not just because of emotions. As the article says, even for experts, "there actually are no hard-and-fast guidelines in the critical care field about when to withdraw life support …
60 injured, five critically, as trains collide in Connecticut
Fri May 17, 2013
- Both are correct, apparently. What this article says is: "An eastbound train derailed at 6:10 p.m. ET AND struck a westbound train."
Boston bombing survivor Marc Fucarile determined to leave hospital
Fri May 17, 2013
- In Massachusetts, virtually everyone has insurance, thanks to RomneyCare -- the model for ObamaCare. There will be expenses that the insurance doesn't cover, but at least people have coverage.
Drone pilot burnout triggers call for recruiting overhaul
Thu May 16, 2013
- Instead of changing the way they recruit, how about considering whether it's in our long-term interest to be sending drones to kill people in countries all over the world, or whether it's just creating the next generation of al Qaeda (or whatever) fighters who hate the USA. The President told us he …
Ireland court rules paralyzed woman cannot get help to commit suicide
Mon Apr 29, 2013
- This does not need to be complicated. A person who does not eat or drink will not live very long. (The body can go a long time without food, but not without liquid.) I have a friend who decided (with his partner) to go that route when he was diagnosed with incurable cancer. It was a peaceful passing …
Were you or was someone you know injured in the Boston marathon bombings? Share your story
Wed Apr 17, 2013
- How about leaving these people alone, and letting them focus on healing themselves and their loved ones, instead of using them to keep the breathless page-one stories going? This is getting to be like disaster porn. IMO the media should not even be publishing the names of those who were injured; let …
Paging Sgt. Tyler and other heroes: Boston Marathon victims want to thank you
Wed Apr 17, 2013
- It's clear from the hospitals' reports that the quick actions of bystanders, first responders, and people from the BAA medical tent -- especially improvising tourniquets -- saved many many lives. And yes, this was a very high risk situation, both because of the risk of more IEDs, and because of the …
Rescued woman tracks down lifeguard who saved her in 1964
Thu Apr 11, 2013
- What a gracious woman. That lifeguard probably never forgot either, and wondered what had happened to her.
Through the obstacle course of immigration, many paths to citizenship
Wed Apr 10, 2013
- The system for getting a temporary visa just to visit for a couple of weeks is equally random and opaque. I'm involved in an international religious organization, and whenever we have meetings in the USA some delegates don't get visas, even if we start the process months in advance -- and it's impos …
