Denver to Singapore (and back) in 5 minutes from David DAngelo on Vimeo.
David D’Angelo flew from Denver to Singapore (and then back to Denver again) and took snapshots with his Canon S90 every few minutes/hours. His camera was attached to his neck which explains some of the odd shots in this time-lapse video. [via]

CityRoom is reporting on the death of a Continental Airlines pilot who died mid-flight while operating a Boeing 777 aircraft. The pilot, whose name has not be released, was 61 years old and apparently died of natural causes.
The plane was able to land safely with all 247 passengers at Newark International Airport after two first officers took control of the plane.
I wonder if the crew has to tell the passengers that their pilot died when something like this happens. Or does the crew just keep it amongst themselves to prevent panicked passengers?
