"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band. The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September). Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

An early internet hoax called Bonsai Kitten claimed people could grow kittens inside jars. It was fake, but enough people believed it that animal groups complained. The FBI actually investigated it before concluding there were no real jar kittens.

Starting this summer, nearly 2,000 sensors will be embedded throughout CLT’s future Runway 1C/19C, laying the foundation for what will become the only modern, instrumented “smart runway” of its kind in the U.S. when commissioned in 2027. These sensors will track pavement conditions in real time, helping CLT make smarter maintenance, safety and operational decisions before problems happen while extending the life of one of the Airport’s most valuable assets. In partnership with University of North Carolina at Charlotte and its Aviation and Innovation Research Institute, Charlotte AIR, the project also gives students hands-on experience while helping shape future FAA standards for airports across the country.
