A woman posted a photo of herself at the Grand Canyon on Instagram with the caption “Those views tho” and then fell to her death just hours later in a tragic accident.
According to USA Today, a friend said that Colleen Burns “was, like, stepping out of the way for another gentleman to kind of squeeze in, and unfortunately Colleen just kind of got tripped up on her own feet and fell backwards, fell into the canyon“.

Security lines have been pretty awful causing many to miss their flights. However, the TSA Chief recently said that airport lines were getting shorter.
This could possibly be attributed to some airlines spending money to help out.
American Airlines spent $4 million to speed up airport lines probably thanks to these 70,000 reasons. Delta went $1 million higher, spending $5 million to help speed up security lines. Continue reading $28 Million To Be Spent for More TSA Screeners

When I’m flying on domestic flights around the U.S. I leave my passport at home but this might not be the case in the near future.
According to an article from USA Today’s Road Warrior Voices, “Driver’s Licenses From These States Soon Won’t Suffice As Valid ID For Domestic Flights“.

In the crash he sustained head injuries while flying a vintage World War II training plane which crashed on a golf course but there were no details as to what caused the crash.
According to USA Today, the crash wasn’t Ford’s fault, a mechanical problem was the cause. Continue reading Harrison Ford Plane Crash Cause Reported
Almost two weeks back I was happy to see that Disney banned the selfie stick from all of their parks.
You might wonder why I’d even care?
During our trip to Orlando to visit Disney World earlier in the year I had an issue with a selfie-stick user. It was quite annoying when this visitor with the selfie stick got in the way of my photo-taking at one of the parades. I still can’t imagine why someone in the front row would need to use this device when nothing was obstructing her view… Continue reading Places That Ban the Selfie Stick
I’ve heard of flights being diverted due to a sick passenger, a scorpion attack and even an unruly Dad but this reason could’ve made the plane really stink. Literally…
