Remembering a pilot's 1985 disaster-avoiding heroism

A car struck and killed retired Northwest Airlines pilot and longtime St. Paul resident Carl Simmons during his after-lunch walk Jan. 29 near his wintertime condo in Orange Beach, Ala. He was 82. The tragic accident came practically 36 years to the day after Capt. Simmons heroically maneuvered a suddenly crippled Boeing 727 into a safe landing at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport — narrowly avoiding a tragedy that easily could have claimed the lives of 52 passengers and nine crew members onboard Northwest Flight 573. "He was Sully before there was a Sully — only difference was Dad made it back to the runway instead of the Hudson River," said Charlie Simmons, the younger of Carl's two sons, referring to Capt. Chesley Sullenberger deftly ditching his Airbus A320 into the river in 2009 after losing his engines to a flock of geese, saving 155 lives. Simmons' quick decision­making on Jan. 26, 1985, earned him the Superior Airmanship Award from the national Air Line Pilots Association, which he received from Vice President George Bush in Washington, D.C. But Simmons' lifesaving role won little attention at the time. The Minneapolis Star and Tribune ran a brief on Page 3B about an emergency…

Vimeo and Mailchimp Shine a Light on Black-Owned Businesses

"I've been in and out of this shop throughout my life and spent enough time there to see the community spirit and vibrant character the owner and the customers have. I felt this shop had a story to tell," says filmmaker Troy Browne of Mitchell's the Bowl, a West Indian grocery in Nottingham, England. Browne created the five-minute mini-doc below, one of seven films in a grant-funded series from Vimeo and Mailchimp spotlighting Black directors and Black-owned businesses from around the world. Combining cut-out animations with in-store interviews, Browne introduces viewers to Claudette Mitchell, whose father founded the store six decades ago. As its owner for the past 25 years, Claudette has carried on a tradition of service and camaraderie. Now, she plans to retire and turn over the reins to the next generation: It's an affecting tale of a family's love for their work and neighbors. Of long hours and tireless struggle for success. Of the bonds that owners form with customers and the varied flavors, literal and figurative, their efforts add to everyday life. "I hope people watch this film and get a look at a world they may not have seen—escape to a small place that would go…
