Story from Photographer:
‘Starting last Monday, Munich experienced major outages of its problematic S-Bahn train network during morning rush hour. A series of cold-related failures crippled the system eventually shutting it down. The problems persisted into Thursday and frustrated residents of Munich finally want answers for why a wealthy and technologically advanced city has to suffer with a persistently unreliable rail network. These questions are currently being brought to the Bavarian Parliament by the SPD party.
In my case, I went out and tried to get anywhere and was also left stuck. However, I saw stories in front of me in the faces of the thousands of people stranded on platforms and what their expressions were and how they interacted with one another. I only had my smartphone on me and began shooting the people at various stations.’
The movie would not be possible without the dedicated contributing photographers and editors at ZUMA Press.
A chapter of aviation history has closed, as commercial U.S. passenger airlines bid farewell to the Boeing 747, the jumbo jet that made air travel affordable for millions of people around the world because it could carry hundreds of passengers inside. The double decker aircraft with the humped fuselage is one of the world’s most recognizable planes. But after flying the four engine, fuel-thirsty plane for decades, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are retiring the so-called Queen of the Skies in favor of sleeker, more fuel efficient models that are cheaper to operate. Pan American Airways debuted the enormous twin deck airliner in January 1970, and flights by US passenger airlines have been flying uninterrupted ever since. The 747 was a marvel of engineering when it first flew months before the first moon landing in 1969. Affectionately known as ”queen of the skies,” the 747 was postage stamp famous, an icon of pop culture, and the backdrop of movies, television and a flying emblem of the US presidency as Air Force One.
