It's annoying enough listening to stuff without headphones on a plane but why in the name of the Almighty are you listening to something with a smoke detector beep ?!?!?!
Ted Turner, who transformed television news with the creation of CNN in 1980, has died at the age of 87, the network said.
Cable News Network upended established broadcasting with its dedication to around-the-clock breaking news and shot to global recognition with its coverage of the Gulf War in 1990-91.
A brash risk taker, Turner made a name for himself with spectacular business deals, his ownership of professional sports clubs, a marriage to actress Jane Fonda, his leadership of a competitive yachting team and then a devotion to charitable and environmental causes.
