Episode 509: Neal and Toby discuss the tragic midair collision between an American Airlines passenger plane and a military helicopter, crashing into the Potomac River. After initial efforts from a rescue team, there’ve been no survivors found, making it the deadliest air disaster in the US since 2001. Then, a recent report shows the US economy is stronger than ever, a sharp contrast from across the pond where 20 European countries are stuck in a rut. Plus, Chili’s is the Stock of the Week, and UPS is the Dog of the Week. Meanwhile, the Blue Man Group’s legendary 34-year run in NYC is coming to an end. Lastly, a sprint run through of the headlines to head into the weekend.
