Cranberries Lead Singer Plane Disturbance

The Cranberries lead singer, Dolores O'Riordian, allegedly assaulted a cabin flight attendant and head-butted a police officer trying to control her last Monday. The transatlantic flight was heading to Shannon Airport in mid-west Ireland from New York, the disturbance did not cause any flight issues.

The 43-year-old Irish Singer, O'Riordian, had hospitalized a female crew member of Flight El 110, with a foot or leg injury. When a police officer grabbed her, O'Riordian heaved her head and bashed the police officer in the face. The officer, unlike the flight attendant, did not need medical assistance.

O'Riordian had charges pressed against her. She was detained in the local jail, but was released a few hours after the incident.

US Sailors Attacked By Turkish Youth Union

US sailors were assaulted by a group of Turkish Youth Union during their stop near Istanbul. Wednesday, caught on tape, a selected few sailors were approached by the angry Turkish people. The protestors had claimed to be very enraged with the "Yankees" and want the United States to stop their quest on imperialism in the Middle East.

The three members involved in the incident were a part of the USS Ross and visiting Turkey, which is one of the allied nations apart of NATO. Bags were forced onto the sailor's heads. The Turkish people wanted vengeance for what American troops in 2003 did to the Turkish troops. The American troops in Northern Iraq detained the troops, accusing them of smuggling weapons. Then they had forced bags over their heads. Which was allegedly recorded and shown all over Turkey, and it became very popular. Some Turkey groups are still full of resentment, and just overall have a severe dislike to America.

This act of hatred was not tolerated by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They had tweeted on twitter, condemning the attack, and reinforced that "the Turkish people would join us in rejecting an action that disrespects the Turkish reputation of hostility."

Love is in the Air

Love was in the air on the Southwest Flight 4058 for a couple from Corydon, Indiana; as they became husband and wife in an airplane. Dottie Coven and Keith Stewart planned for their marriage celebration to take place up in the air on November 2nd.

They are both business travelers and frequent fliers and could not think of a better place to get hitched. When they approached Southwest airlines with the idea, the entire airlines was all for it. They are known for their entertainment on rewarding their flight attendants, who were especially good to customers, publically. This will help create a personal relationship with some of their customers, which is good business.

The Airlines and Wedding planners joined forces to make the perfect ceremony with the most amazing departure and arrival gates. There was a band in the back seats with balloons and many other decorations hanging from the roof to illuminate the jet way. The flower girl started off the ceremony by walking up the aisle handing out peanuts, and the pilot used the loud speaker to perform the marriage.

The happy couple was glad their 30 friends had attended their wedding. But also showed much appreciation to the 100 other unsuspecting fliers for taking apart of the ceremony.

700-year-old "Doodles" Found



A picture of the manuscripts with drawings.

As archeologists discovered the 700-year-old drawings on the pages of books scattered throughout the recently found mines, they were not exactly what they were expecting! They were in awe by the cartoons that were found printed onto the pages of the monk's manuscripts. This is revolutionary, the knowledge of the medieval times and personality of people back then can now be exploited by the historians that before had very little evidence to go off of. To them these doodles are so similar to the present day doodles; they have funny faces, drawn with beards and scribbled lines around names, etc. Historians think the drawings are funny, and find it amusing that the monks had a "sense of humor". They also can make personal connections to the sketches when they analyze them, which one historian claimed was like they are "sitting right next to them" watching history be made. One note was dated back to May of 1486, which was a love letter.

Mexican Mayor and Wife Suspected For Abductions of 43 Students

Early Tuesday morning near South Mexican City in Iguala, their Mayor Jose Luis Arbarca and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda were detained in a house they were renting near the Iztapalapa neighborhood in Mexico City. They reportedly have been missing since the incident of the abductions of the 43 students on September 26.

These students, mostly in their early 20's, were all on buses on their way to pursue their professions of their choice at a college campus near Iguala. When their trip had abruptly came to an end, as armed men forced the buses to stop and abducted all of the passengers. There have been many incidents that brought suspicion to the local gangs of the nearby area. Although there have been many other suspects, up to 60 people have been brought into custody.

The Mexican Mayor and his wife were considered as "probable masterminds" of the events that had taken place due to their actions of fleeing hours after the buses were attacked. It is still under investigation, and there is still a long road ahead for the police officials of Guerrero, Mexico on the search for their missing civilians.

90-year-old Man Charged For Feeding Homelss

Arnold Abbott, a 90-year-old man, along with the Rev. Mark Slims, of St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church, and the Rev. Dwayne Black, pastor of the Sanctuary Church, were charged for feeding the homeless people on the streets of South Florida Park. A new policy the city officials of Fort Lauderdale, Florida are trying to uphold to outlaw the distribution of belongings, food, drinks, etc. in their community.

The ordinance was recently adjusted to limit the storage of personal property in public, and of course the restriction for food sharing. The city officials' claim is not "productive" to have cycles that feed the homeless. They have homeless assistance centers run by the Broward Partnership, which is another alternative for the "vulnerable and poor" people on the sidewalks of this community.

Abbott still does not agree with the terms of turning his head to the people that "do not have a roof over their head". He has been in a constant battle with city members. Reportedly in 1999, he had sued the city from banning him from feeding the homeless, and won. Abbott claims he is not afraid of going to jail for obtaining his moralistic beliefs. It will take more than a $500 bill and some jail time to stop him from going down to the beach of Fort Lauderdale to serve the people in need.
