Most Photographed Places

Scientists at Cornell University analyzed 35 million pictures on Flickr online and put together a list of the most photographed cities and their landmarks as well as the most common angles that they’re shot in. For example the 25th most photographed city is Portland, Oregon and its most shot landmark is the Pioneer Courthouse Square, a 27 year-old public space that’s used for hosting concerts and festivals. Its most standard shot is the square overlooking the Portland Clock Tower. Number 23 on that list is the Capitol Building in Austin, a 1888 Renaissance Revival-style 22 acres big building. Number 22 is the Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Las Vegas’ Paris Hotel is number 15 on the top 25 most photographed places list. Number 13 is Balboa Park in San Diego, California.

So our staff recently found out that about a week ago, the Federal Aviation Administration proposed $747,500 in maintenance violation fines against American Airlines. According to the FAA press release from March 12, 2010, the fines stem from a series of three penalties that began two years ago and affected 13 passenger flights. The FAA is proposing a huge civil penalty of $625,000 for a single case that happened in April 2008. The FAA is alleging that American Airlines mechanics diagnosed a problem with a Central Air Data Computer, improperly deferred the maintenance, and then flew the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 jetliner on 10 passenger flights before replacing the computer. For the second case, from March 2008, the FAA is seeking a $75,000 penalty and for the third one, a $87,500 fine.
