Yahoo Autos TSA Managed To Find Some Stuff And Other Transportation Stories
This Race From The Top Of Alaska To The Bottom Of Florida Using Public Transportation Is My New Favorite Game Show
If you were trying to get from the northernmost point in the U.S. — Utqiagvik, Alaska — to the southernmost point in the U.S. — Key West, Florida — how would you do it? Chances are you’d hop the next flight to Anchorage and then it’s a hop, skip, and jump through Denver, Houston, and Orlando to get to Key West International Airport. A quick $1500 and nineteen-ish hours later, you’ve made it. But what if you turned travel into a game show, split into teams of two, and had to earn your transportation each day by completing a series of competitive challenges? That’s exactly what these foolish internet video geniuses have done. - Bradley Brownell Read More
People Tried To Sneak Some Truly Weird Stuff Past Airport Security In 2023
The American Transportation Security Administration is often accused of being little more than security theater. They exist to make the average everyday traveler feel safer about their flight. “Well, if they make me take my shoes off and throw away my water bottle, surely the terrorists won’t get through their iron defenses,” is more or less the agency’s raison d’être. Sometimes I’ll get to my destination and notice an xacto or Swiss army knife stuffed into a pocket of my backpack I haven’t opened in months that went completely missed by their scanners and fallible human eyeballs. - Bradley Brownell Read More

Is Your Upcoming Flight On A Boeing 737 Max? This Website Will Let You Know
The Boeing Co. 737 MAX airplane stands outside the company’s manufacturing facility in Renton, Washington, U.S., on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2015. Boeing Co.’s latest 737 airliner is gliding through development with little notice, and that may be the plane’s strongest selling point. The single-aisle 737 family is the company’s largest source of profit, and the planemaker stumbled twice earlier this decade with tardy debuts for its wide-body 787 Dreamliner and 747-8 jumbo jet.
If you’re getting ready to fly anywhere in the coming weeks, you may be a bit nervous over wondering if the plane you’re boarding is safe. Seeing 737 on the side of a fuselage can be enough to give even the most stalwart traveler with a hefty pile of frequent flier miles pause. Luckily, there’s now a website with one simple purpose: to tell you if your flight is in one of these seemingly cursed aircrafts. - Erin Marquis Read More
Boeing 737 Max Planes Grounded After Door Plug Blows Out At 16,000 Feet
Passengers on an Alaska Airlines flight leaving Portland, Oregon endured a harrowing ordeal when a door plug blew out the side on the flight’s Boeing 737 Max 9 just minutes after takeoff. The massive hole in the fuselage’s side at 16,000 feet caused the cabin to depressurize, the lights to flicker and oxygen masks to drop from the ceiling. Luckily, no one was sitting directly next to the plug as the back of an unoccupied seat was ripped out of the aircraft. - Ryan Erik King Read More
