		<title>Not pilot error, brain design error</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After its flight data recorders were recovered from12,000 feet of water in the Atlantic last year, the July 2009 crash of Air France 447 was widely blamed on &#8216;pilot error&#8217;.

		<title>When you drown in a tsunami</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an eerie, chilling video from inside a car caught in Japan&#8217;s March 2011 tsunami. I&#8217;d really like a full English translation of the audio narration. At the end, the narrator apparently says, &#8220;The vehicle hit a building and sank.&#8221; I hope I never get closer than this to drowning in a tsunami.]]></description>
