Five years after introducing the now famous Forbes 400 list, the wealth team undertook a project that would set the stage for what has become a staple of modern media: the World's Billionaires List . In the days before google and the web, wealth reporters scoured the globe, making phone calls, traveling to Asia and reading through documents to uncover and pinpoint fortunes (we still do that but the Internet certainly helps). They were able to find the richest man in the world, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi of Japan, in addition to 95 also-rans from overseas. Though the concept is still the same, a lot has changed in the last 25 years. Aside from the evolution of our valuation methods, there has been a large shift in the source of wealth, not to mention nearly double digit growth in the number of billionaires on the … [Read more...] about Forbes History: The Original 1987 List Of International Billionaires

Passenger dies of heart attack on flight from India to Bangkok
An IndiGo flight bound for Bangkok from Mumbai was diverted to Myanmar yesterday after a passenger died on board. According to a Times of India report, the unnamed passenger suffered a heart attack less than an hour after the flight took off at 4pm from Mumbai. Despite efforts to assist the man, he tragically passed away and the flight was diverted to an airport in Myanmar. This incident occurred just days after another IndiGo flight, en route from Ranchi to Pune, was diverted to Nagpur due to a medical emergency on board. Unfortunately, the passenger in question also did not survive. In a separate incident just a week earlier, a Delhi to Doha IndiGo flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Karachi, Pakistan, due to a medical emergency involving a Nigerian national in his sixties. Despite medical assistance provided at the airport, the passenger passed away and the flight was delayed for around five hours before being allowed to return to Delhi.

Ex-Norwegian Air Boeing 787 Dreamliners Hit Scrap Heap After Just Ten Years
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Widebody and jumbo jet aircraft are having a tough time. The pandemic, which resulted in the parking of 16,000 commercial aircraft, accelerated the trend to replace aging four-engine jumbo jets with more efficient twin-engine craft. Production ended for both the Airbus A380 and the venerable Boeing 747 . Many of these aircraft were taken out of service, never to return. Now, a pair of ten-year-old Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners once operated by budget airline Norwegian Air Shuttle are being scrapped. Delivered in 2013, the fuel-efficient widebody jets built of advanced composites were capable of flying 248 passengers 7300 miles. The Dreamliner is a successful aircraft, still in production with more than 1600 delivered or on order. The list price for a new Boeing 787-8 is $239 million dollars. Yet even as international travel opens again for these long-range aircraft, two Dreamliners barely ten years are waiting for the … [Read more...] about Ex-Norwegian Air Boeing 787 Dreamliners Hit Scrap Heap After Just Ten Years
