It’s Happened Again: An American Airlines Flight Was Forced to Divert After a Lavatory Started Overflowing

Just under 10 weeks ago, 59-year-old Mike Lynch was on trial in San Francisco on 17 charges of fraud. He was almost guaranteed to receive a 25-year sentence.

His chances of winning were put at 0.5 per cent. However, after 13 years of putting together detailed evidence to support his plea, he was acquitted and it felt like a miracle.

No boys allowed.

Women will soon be able to avoid sitting next to male strangers on a plane — in a first-ever initiative launched by a popular South Asian airline.

Male passengers will not be made privy to the same information — instead, they’ll continue to see all available seats, as one normally would. 

The femme-friendly initiative is being offered in...
