This is not something they cover during the airline safety briefing. If the ceiling starts to fall in, hold it up. That's exactly what happened on a Delta jet from Atlanta to Chicago. Passengers found themselves holding up the ceiling at 30,000 feet! And the crazy thing is - the same problem happened on another Delta jet on the same day! And an air quality alert for the Big Apple ... and the reason is wildfires. More than 15,000 acres in New Jersey have been burned and the smoke is now in New York City. The smoke may become so bad to breathe we could see the return of masks. Plus, in Vatican City, a steady stream of mourners have passed by the casket of the late Pope Francis. On day two of the three-day period of viewing, when the public was first admitted into St. Peters, there was a bit of a bottleneck -- but, the lines are moving rather quickly. Perhaps because church officials decided to keep the basilica open overnight. And more than 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. last year. That sounds like a lot -- but it's below the birthrate needed to maintain the population stable through births alone. President Trump wants to address that - by paying women $5000 to have a child. Not everyone is applauding the idea.
