Danish and Greek pilots killed in helicopter collision near Athens

A security guard at an airport in the U.S. state of Alabama discovered cannonballs in a passenger's checked luggage last month. Subsequent investigation determined that the iron spheres date back nearly 200 years, placing their origin in the early 19th century. The discovery was made during routine baggage screening procedures at the airport. Authorities examined the cannonballs to assess whether they posed any immediate danger. The find raised questions about how the antique projectiles came to be packed in modern-day luggage. Such historical artifacts are occasionally uncovered in the southeastern United States, a region with significant Civil War and colonial-era military history. No details were immediately available about the identity of the passenger or whether any charges were filed.
