BANGKOK (AP) — Aviation investigators arrived in Bangkok Wednesday to learn how and why severe turbulence sent a Singapore Airlines plane into a sudden dive that tossed passengers and crew around the cabin, leaving a British man dead and dozens others injured.
Twenty people remained in intensive care in hospital after Flight SQ321, which was flying from London’s Heathrow airport to Singapore, hit the turbulence Tuesday over the Andaman Sea. The Boeing 777, which carried 211 passengers and 18 crew members, descended 6,000 feet (around 1,800 meters) in about three minutes, the carrier said.

This year, the biggest name on the list is "Kansas" who will be performing Saturday.
On Monday, people prepared for the main attraction -- the parade.
But this year comes with some changes.

GRUNDY COUNTY, Tenn. — 'Gus has got a gun!'
It wasn't true. But those five words now have a high school senior in hot water in Grundy County, Tennessee.
The family of James Morgan Sitz says other students goaded Sitz into saying those words while on school grounds, and says he was only joking.
But school officials determined it was no laughing matter.
Sitz was suspended from Grundy County High School for the rest of the year, and he won't be able to attend that school's prom or graduation ceremonies.
