British Airways 009, thirty-seven thousand feet over Java, every engine gone, and a captain who refused to let fear take the controls.
A fourteen-year-old in Rigby, Idaho, looks at the plowed rows of his father's potato field and sees how to transmit light.
What Problem Would You Refuse to Walk Away From?
Seven people who hit a wall and refused to stop — a jet built in a circus tent, an adapter made of duct tape, a calendar fixed by Caesar.
