Las autoridades están investigando la causa del accidente aéreo de un pequeño avión que transportaba a una familia a su hogar en Jackson, Tennessee, cuando estos regresaba de pasar unas alegres vacaciones en Disney World, en Orlando, FL.

El accidente sucedió el sábado alrededor de las 2:30 p.m. en Hayden, Alabama, en donde varios testigos vieron cómo caían del cielo pedazos de la nave que cubrieron un área que se extendió por aproximadamente una milla.

El domingo, la University School of Jackson, una escuela preparatoria localizada en Tennessee, lamentó a través de su página de Facebook la muerte de sus dos estudiantes:  Jacob, de 16 años, y Jillian, de 14, así como la de sus padres Joseph y Jennifer Crenshaw.

La revista People reportó que sus familiares y amigos están en “shock” con esta noticia, pues la familia Crenshaw —cuyos ancestros datan de la época de la revolución estadounidense— es muy prominente en Jackson.

Uno de los testigos relató cómo el avión repentinamente se dio vuelta y comenzó a descender de punta, mientras que otro, en cuya propiedad cayó gran parte de la aeronave, dijo: “Es un desastre, es un escombro de estaño; no se puede decir que es un avión”.

Thematically speaking, we generally associate clouds and rain with sadness and gloominess. But what if that cloud happened to raintequila? 

An art installation popped up in Berlin featuring, get this, a cloud made of water and tequila vapor. Patient guests of the exhibit would be able to collect tequila rain drops in shot glasses for a little mid-gallery aperitif. Because, you know, why not?

Creative agency LAPIZ is the brains behind the magical booze-cloud. They partnered with the Mexican Tourism Board to launch the art piece in Berlin, no doubt as a way to attract German tourists to Mexico.

And you know, if you’re going to try to attract tourists, you might as well do it with ~~~science~~~.

“The tequila was pushed into an invisible plastic structure where sprays of tequila mixed with the vapor formed the cloud,” Luciana Cani, executive creative director of LAPIZ told The Huffington Post. “With the plastic, we created a base the vapor could form around. But the most important function of the plastic was to work as a condensation surface for the tequila mist.”

This definitely brings new meaning to the childhood practice of catching raindrops on our tongues, don’t you think?

Cheaper Time: Third week in April

Avalon is on Santa Catalina Island, and the southern-most city in Los Angeles County. Its total square footage is only 2.9 square miles, and offers a beautiful respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. A romantic weekend jaunt filled with water sports (like diving maybe?) might be right up your alley.

Ashland is in southern Oregon, super close to the California state line. The city is known for its pear production and May is a great time to go. It’s right before the rainy season, so an amazing time to go hiking in its various parks. Oh, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is going on during this time. Yes please.

As someone who grew up in Volusia County, this writer can tell you New Smyrna is the home of the best beaches in Central Florida. The sands are the whitest, and you can actually take your car onto the beach, which saves in parking fees on busy weekends (and in June, they’ll be busy). Definitely stop by the New Smyrna Beach Brewing Company!

If you’re more of a mountains lover than a water person and prefer cooler weather, Breckenridge might be a good location for you. Nestled near the middle of the state, the city doesn’t get temperatures above 70 degrees too often, and it’s a great place to visit if you love cycling.

Ruidoso might not be as well known as Santa Fe or Albuquerque, but this little resort town has a lot to offer the traveler looking to get away from big-city buzz.

Cheaper Time: Fourth week in November

Speaking of small towns, Springdale, Utah had only 529 people as of the 2010 U.S. census, so if you really want to get away, this might be the place to do it. Known for its hiking and stargazing opportunities, Springdale was even named one of the prettiest towns in the U.S. by Forbes in 2008.

Cheaper Time: First week in December

If fishing is your thing and you’ve always wanted to visit Montana but never found a reason to do it, the week after the Thanksgiving travel spike is a great time to go to Whitefish. Sure, it’s cold, but that’s what the Whitefish Mountain ski resort is for. It’s also pretty darn close to the Canadian border, so two birds one stone?

It’s impossible to forget the fact that we’re in the midst of a climate change crisis at the moment. Which is why Earth Hour 2017 is an extremely relevant observance that all of us should consider taking part in. On Saturday March 25 at 8:30 p.m. local time, all the major landmarks across the world are shutting off their lights and going dark for a full hour in order to raise awareness about climate change. The Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Empire State Building in New York City, the Sydney Opera House, the Pyramids of Egypt — they’re all participating in this incredible moment of solidarity.

More than 170 countries and territories are joining in for Earth Hour, and this will be the 11th year in a row that this event has taken place. We can all contribute to this hour by turning off all the lights in our own home and using the hashtag #ChangeClimateChange all day to raise awareness about the state of our planet.

Debbie Levin, president of the Environmental Media Association, spoke to Teen Vogue about Earth Day and encouraged everyone to get involved, because we always need more people to help fight climate change.

“Every individual, young or old, has the power to make decisions and make a difference,” Levin said.

Our world is in more danger than ever before, and the generations that come after us may not have access to enough natural resources if we

keep destroying our planet. That’s why Earth Hour is so crucial — it’s a chance for everyone across the globe to come together and speak up about climate change.

There’s no better time to show your appreciation for Mother Earth than this Saturday. Flick off your lights and let your voice be heard!
