2. Entrepreneurs are selling Australia’s fresh air in a can to China
In what may be the most ingenious money-making idea since bottled water, two entrepreneurs have set up a business selling fresh Australian air to China. John Dickinson and Theo Ruygrok are the co-founders of Green and Clean Air, a business based in Australia that puts air in cans and sells it to people struggling with pollution in Asia. They came up with the idea one year ago, after Ruygrok looked at the sky and mused about the difference in air quality when he arrived home from China to Australia. “Wouldn’t it be great if we can take a bit of this air over to China?” he asked Dickinson.

The bodies of Alex Lowe, considered the top mountain climber in the world during the 1990s, and his cameraman have been found in thawing glacier in Tibet 16 years after they were buried in an avalanche, Lowe’s family and charitable foundation said.
Lowe, 40, and cameraman David Bridges, 29, were part of an expedition that set out to film a documentary series for NBC Sports when they were buried under cascades of snow on the 26,335-foot-tall Shishapangma mountain — the 14th-highest in the world — on Oct. 5, 1999.
8. Belgian Terror attacks
Belgian authorities are searching for the people responsible for the March 22 bombings. The blasts killed 32 people and injured more than 300, with 87 still hospitalized. Two suicide bombers, including Ibrahim El Bakraoui, struck the departure lounge of Brussels Airport in Zaventem about 37 seconds apart, killing at least 10 people. About an hour after the airport explosions, Khalid El Bakraoui, a Brussels-born 27-year-old and Ibrahim’s brother, detonated a suicide bomb on the Brussels subway at the end of rush hour.
