Staying in a hotel? Bring your own drinking glasses {Gadling}
Dec 14th 2007 9:07PM I know for absolute certainty this practice is widespread. I worked for a luxury beach resort in Destin, Florida 20 years ago. I was instructed to "wash" the glasses with glasscleaner (think windex) when we ran out of clean ones on the cart. I quit after my second day.
BA 747 narrowly escapes a mid-air collision {Gadling}
Nov 21st 2007 12:06AM Yes, these things are becoming more and more common - thanks to an alarming shortage of experienced air traffic controllers.

Many are working 6 day weeks, 10 hour days. As a wife of a controller, knowing what I know, I won't fly anywhere. A horrible accident is just a matter of time.
