George Foreman dies at 76 / Devout Christian & Champion fighter
George Foreman has died. The fearsome heavyweight and a successful businessman was 76. A native Texan, Foreman came to notoriety as an Olympic gold medalist who inspired fear as he climbed to the peak of the heavyweight division by stopping Joe Frazier in 1973. His formidable aura evaporated a year later when Muhammad Ali pulled off one of the most audacious victories in boxing history in Zaire, baiting and taunting Foreman in the “Rumble in the Jungle”. He later regained the championship belt at 45-years-old. When not in the ring, Foreman was often preaching the word of God and enjoying success in business with products like the Foreman grill.
Flights resume at London Heathrow / daylong closure sparked travel chaos
Heathrow Airport says it is “fully operational” on Saturday, after an almost daylong closure sparked by an electrical substation fire. The airport says it has added flights so an extra 10,000 passengers can travel. British Airways says it expects to operate about 85% of its scheduled flights at the biggest London airport. But airlines warned that severe disruption will last for days as they scramble to relocate planes and crews and get travelers to their destinations. Inconvenienced passengers, angry airlines and concerned politicians are seeking answers about how one seemingly accidental fire could shut down Europe’s busiest air hub.
