Captain Sullenberger chose to emphasize how close the Korean pilots came to saving their plane, as he and his First Officer saved his. “Circumstances were with us," Captain Sullenberger said. "Circumstances were not with them.”

The pilots of Flight 2216 almost pulled off a "Miracle on the Hudson" after plowing into a gigantic flock of birds on their approach to a small airport in South Korea. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Here's the Chinese-language version of our story on the Hong Kong fire. nytimes.com/zh-hans/intera…

Perhaps because architects do not win accolades or prizes for fire protection, it's not a stretch to say their fire safety schemes mostly place as adequate, bad or disastrous. Wang Fuk Court in Hong Kong finishes in last place. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

The Hong Kong fire resurrects awful memories of the Grenfell Towers fire in London. In London, flammable cladding drove the fire up the building exterior, and in Hong Kong, it appeared to be bamboo scaffolding. nytimes.com/2025/11/26/wor…

Why is it so difficult to know how much damage U.S. strikes did to the underground Fordo nuclear site in Iran? For the same reason it was so hard to hit in the first place. nyti.ms/45WAdAW

From @TheAthletic: Pope Leo madness has taken over Chicago. After the white smoke appeared, it was a shock to see an American and even more to see a South Sider. Once people found out he was a White Sox fan, forget about it. nyti.ms/3S46ZbF

It was the yacht called “unsinkable” by its manufacturer. In fact, it blew over sideways in a wind gust and sank in minutes. The crew was taken by surprise but otherwise acted admirably. The initial investigation confirms our story from October. nytimes.com/2025/05/15/wor…

@CST_soxvan Here’s one of my only Sox contributions: nytimes.com/2005/10/09/spo…

@CST_soxvan You’ve brightened countless mornings for this diaspora Sox fan (and NYT reporter on mostly unrelated topics). It hurts to see you step away! Thanks for every one of those thousands of pieces over the years. You got a fan in NYC if you’re ever in town.

The U.S. is in a new era of great urban fires — the result of flammable housing, scientists say. “This is a disaster that is human created,” Dr. Kerber said. By Soumya Karlamangla, James Glanz & Rob Gebeloff nytimes.com/2025/01/17/us/…
