Quick. Fast. In a Hurray.

That's how I like my news.

I discovered a sight that gives it just like that.  If I want to read more, I can, but otherwise I get the highlights and can move on.

It's the daily newsletter from vox.com that arrives via email.

A sample is below.

1. Flight 8501 

  • The flight, en route from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore, was operated by Indonesia AirAsia, an affiliate of the Malaysian carrier AirAsia. 
  • The head of Indonesia's search and rescue team said the plane was probably "at the bottom of the sea."

  • "If all of [Malaysia-based AirAsia] Flight 8501’s passengers have perished, that would mean the three deadliest aviation disasters of 2014 are all tied to Malaysia."
    [NYT / Michael Forsythe]
  • It appears that weather is the likeliest explanation for the disappearance, but we don't know enough to say yet.

  • By contrast, the disappearance of a Malaysian Airlines plane in March doesn't appear to have been weather-related. 
  • Even including this flight and the Malaysian Airlines flight, 2014 had relatively few deaths from plane accidents.
