British Airways says sorry after 'emergency' announcement played by mistake
“This is an emergency. We will shortly be making an emergency landing on water,” the taped message said, played at around 3 a.m. on the overnight flight.

The cabin erupted in panic as startled passengers woke to the announcement and feared for their lives.

That's one hell of a way to wake up!

No arson in blaze that consumed 3,500-year-old tree
LONGWOOD, Fla. - The cause of an early morning fire in Seminole County that destroyed one of the world’s oldest cypress trees remained a mystery Monday, but an investigator is convinced it was not the work of an arsonist....Frazier said he could not speculate on a cause and said the investigation is ongoing....Firefighters responded to the park about 5:50 a.m. and had to run more than 800 feet of hoses through the woods to reach the fire....Arson was initially suspected. There was no lightning in the area Monday morning and there is not electrical wiring in the area of the tree.

Huge historical tree burns down under suspicious circumstances with no witnesses as to the cause.....but they've already ruled out arson.
That's some fine police work there, Lou.

Florida. Tebow must have had something to do with it.

Wow, this is real big of them. :dunce:

Carnival offers survivors of doomed cruise Costa Concordia 30% off future cruise; outraged passengers prepare for lawsuit
Survivors of the Costa Concordia wreck are being offered 30% off future cruises with the company — a sales pitch that was not received with much gratitude Sunday.
“It is a ridiculous and insulting offer,” survivor Brian Page, a retired British accountant, told The Telegraph of London, which first reported the discount offer. ***

Yeah, that will make everything better! They should have offered the survivors a lifetime of free cruises in exchange for not suing...
