Planes landed at Reagan National Airport in wind gusts of up to 48 mph today - travelers tell me they experienced the wildest landings of their lives. #aviation

@dgurdasani1 We ordered kosher meals or vegetarian meals which arrived earlier and let us eat before the rest of the plane got their standard meals. It’s not perfect but we could remask when everyone else started eating.

A lot has been written about the difficulties faced by airline passengers who use wheelchairs. We wanted to show what the experience was actually like. Great visual journalism from @AmandaMoMorris @scottymacphoto and @sahiltner https://t.co/YK9G6RvI1y

A Delta Air Lines plane packed with 1,000 pieces of luggage but no passengers was flown from Heathrow Airport in London to Detroit this week. The luggage belonged to Delta customers who were separated from their bags because of travel disruptions. https://t.co/4XweIML9BU

@uche_blackstock @nyulangone Thank you for speaking up on behalf of patients with severe pain. The last time I was in the ER I was shocked that my doctor didn’t deny pain medicine, I started crying. So many years of mistreatment that we expect discrimination and denial of care.

@49Ashleys @hknightsf Lincoln needs to be a top priority for pedestrian safety. Even flashing stop lights or flashing pedestrian crossings would be an improvement to the current Lincoln Speedway.

@pbleic @justinbieber My recurrent shingles began in my early 30s. Sometimes I can’t even get antivirals because the rash isn’t on my back but my legs. For over a decade, i couldn’t get a primary care doc to treat because they think shingles is relatively harmless for young adults.

@Tinu @coolgrey @statnews Thank you for sharing. I want everyone to know before I die that sadistic doctors refusing compassionate care for my severe spinal stenosis even after multiple surgeries caused me decades of depression and disability, the injury wasn’t the only only cause.

@ChuckXL @jdavidgoodman “Most police departments do not keep statistics on road rage episodes, in part because it is not itself a crime category. There is no federal database.”

We know you like to plane, so we put some planes in your plane so you can plane while you plane
