News First Slice 7/11/12: Plane diverted for being smelly
Posted by Gwynedd Stuart @gwynnstu on Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 7:30 AM
1. Last night, a U.S. Airways flight that was supposed to be headed from Charlotte, N.C. to Rome was diverted to Philly — and several crew members had to be rushed to the hospital — because of an odor. WHAT WAS THE ODOR? How was it THAT bad? I'm going to have to be rushed to a hospital if no one explains what the odor was.
2. The intrepid reporters at WSB-TV will go wherever's necessary to bring viewers a breaking story, including the bedrooms of middle-aged women who've very recently been struck by lightning. Maybe we could give her a few days, guys? At least let her eye heal?
3. Oh, fun. Effective July 1, new regulations dictating the forms of ID required to renew a Georgia drivers license have made the process an even bigger, more nightmarish time suck (to the tune of four hours at some DDS locations). The new requirements are proving particularly bothersome for married women whose names don't match those on their birth certificates, and who have to present a marriage license as a result. Even if they got married in the 1940s. Yet again, excellent work Georgia legislature.
