Jumbo Jets Create Dangers For Other Planes
The FAA warns that wake turbulence from jumbo jets, especially the 747 and similar models, can create powerful wingtip vortices capable of overturning light aircraft and endangering passenger jets. Tests show vortices trail for miles and can induce up to 75 degree rolls in small planes within three miles, prompting a five mile separation rule between giants and lighter craft.

Supporters Press Fresh Move On Electoral Reform Vote
Senate leaders weigh another bid to force a vote on a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield signaled a new attempt would hinge on a smoother path to debate closure and a higher chance of securing a 60 percent threshold. The plan, backed by Sens Ervin and others, would award the presidency to the candidate with 40 percent or more of the popular vote, with a runoff if no one clears that bar. The floor action follows last Thursday’s cloture defeat as Congress aims to adjourn by mid next month.
