  1. “The longest flight in the world scheduled to be cancelled”

  2. Amazing advances in technology let nonstop flights fly farther than ever before. Many follow routes that take them near the North Pole as they whip over the top of the globe to the other side of the world. But these giant intercontinental leaps present their own challenges: How do passengers and pilots deal with annoying and potentially dangerous fatigue that comes with marathon air travel? These marathon nonstop flights at nearly 19 hours, have linked Singapore and Newark, New Jersey, since 2004. This route is scheduled to be canceled in November. Analysts blame the move on low profitability. Many countries allow cockpit catnaps to stave off fatigue during long flights.

  3. In Other News Tottenham Hotspur's 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday was marred by an incident that saw fans throw a smoke bomb onto the field. The smoke bomb hit a linesman, and the situation is currently being investigated by the West Midlands Police. Sometimes, there's just too much to worry about. Around 9/11, for example, then-Vice President Dick Cheney said he didn't have the luxury of worrying about his health. He'd already had several heart attacks by that point. "I didn't think about my health. I was thinking about the problem we were dealing with," he told CNN's Sanjay Gupta in an interview that aired Sunday night on CBS' "60 Minutes." It will air Tuesday on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
