In August 2001, an Air Transat flight bound from Canada to Portugal lost both engines in mid-air. The crew managed to glide the aircraft for 19 minutes.

A new study finds that birds flap their wings during landing to improve control and slow down before touching ground. The energy spent on flapping gives them a measurable advantage in achieving a safe touchdown. Mathematical models suggest that landing at zero speed without flapping is impractical for most species. Birds of prey may also swoop to regulate their touchdown speed and avoid stalling just before they land.
After more than ten years of litigation, Mona Matherne has prevailed in a dispute over a private road next to her country home in Louisiana. Her neighbours had contended that the road was public, but Matherne argued against that claim in court. State appeals judges, in a November 2026 ruling, upheld earlier court decisions in her favour. The court determined that only the first 1,000 feet of the road is open to public use. The remainder stays private, which protects Matherne's privacy.
