Delta adding Wi-Fi in 2009; Tropical Storm Edouard weakening; first-hand K2 accident description

Travel Weather | Tourists in Galveston, Texas are getting soaked today by Tropical Storm Edouard. It was close to becoming a hurricane, but is also expected to weaken later in the day.

Airline News | Delta might be in the hot seat Tuesday for charging $50 for the second checked bag, but it’s also announcing some good news. Delta said Tuesday that it will offer Wi-Fi to its entire domestic fleet by the middle of next year. The cost, $9.95 for flights up to three hours, and $12.95 for flights longer than three hours, is only a little bit more than what you’re going to have to pay for a pillow and blanket kit on JetBlue.

Climbing News | Wilco van Rooijen, one of the Dutch climbers that survived the K2 ice avalanche, describes the chaos after the accident.
