Collision and emergency landing of EP-3E over South China Sea
A routine surveillance flight over the South China Sea on April 1 ended in a midair collision with a Chinese fighter as the EP-3E was struck from below. The Navy aircraft landed on Hainan island after a chaotic sequence that left the plane damaged, one engine out, a shattered tail, and a pilot, Lt. Shane Osborn, able to maintain level flight before the emergency stop.

Boat of children returns to Benin
A boat carrying about 100 children, believed headed for slavery, was returning to Benin after being turned away from two ports. Officials say the vessel sailed from Cotonou about three weeks ago with children from Benin and neighboring Togo. Child trafficking remains a major issue in the region with parents selling children for small sums to smugglers.
