Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he plans to reinstate a ban on transgender individuals from serving "in any capacity" in the US armed forces. The decision reversed a policy initially approved by the Defense Department under President Barack Obama, which was still under final review, that would allow transgender individuals to openly serve in the military. Defense Secretary James Mattis announced last month that he was delaying enactment of the plan to begin allowing transgender individuals to join the US military. "After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military," Trump said in a series of tweets Wednesday morning. "Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail." Thank you," he added. http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/26/politics/trump-military-transgender/index.html

There is something inherently frightening about the thought of dying in air. Being in the air at the moment of an emergency leaves you feeling tremendously helpless. Here are some of those horrors come true- the 7 worst plane crashes in history. 1. MARCH 27, 1977 KLM AND PAN AM The KLM plane collided with the Pan AM plane (both Boeing 747s) in foggy weather at Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands. 583 people were reported dead from this incident.
