More than 1,000 flights were canceled by 9 a.m. on Tuesday, adding to the hundreds more disrupted on Monday. Many airlines have waived change fees for customers flying through affected airports. Over 1,500 flights were canceled Tuesday morning, more than doubling the total of 1,000 disrupted on Monday, as winter weather from Chicago to Boston and Atlanta wreaks havoc on air travel. At United's Chicago O'Hare hub, where the National Weather Service predicts a high temperature of 5 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday with frigid windchill extending well into the negatives, more than 150 flights were canceled by 10:30 a.m., according to FlightAware. "We expect to operate on a reduced schedule throughout the week," United spokesperson Robert Einhorn told … [Read more...] about Over 1,500 flights cancelled as winter weather wreaks havoc on US’s busiest airports (AAL, DAL, UAL, LUV)

We spent 3 nights with a NYC crime reporter to see how safe the ‘safest big city’ in the US really is

Some have even dubbed today's NYC "the safest big city" in the US. To get a better sense of what NYC's streets are like these days, we spent three nights with NY Daily News crime reporter Kerry Burke, considered by many to be the best in the city. Burke, 55, reported from ground zero on 9/11, helped break the Eric Garner story, and was even on a few episodes of Bravo's "Tabloid Wars" in 2006. He said he had been to roughly four shootings a week since he started the job 16 years ago. The first night we spent with Kerry passed with few incidents — perhaps a sign of the safer times.

Check out the pictures > Given what I know of the military, both from my time in the Army and writing about it the past several months at Business Insider, I imagined I’d be babysat and very restricted in where I could go and what I could photograph. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The tight lipped, security and image conscious public statements I’d come to expect from the military simply weren’t there. The ship’s public affairs officer told me to go anyplace that wasn’t secured and rushed off to handle the long list of … [Read more...] about The Navy Gave Me Total Access To The USS Wasp Amphibious Assault Ship
