A small museum in England gains more views on YouTube than MoMA, generating $2.8 million annually.
## Attractive Military Sites and Museums
A minuscule museum in rural England holds an impressive collection of tanks, rivaling famous exhibition spaces like MoMA in New York and the Louvre in Paris. The reason for its worldwide success? Hardcore followers of military history in America.
One of the first houses to be liberated during the D-Day landings in Normandy 80 years ago was a two-story villa, now called Canada House, as a tribute to the Canadian soldiers who defended France's freedom. The home's owners have since transformed it into a monument to those who bravely served.
Another captivating museum can be found on the other side of the world, in a small Filipino town. It narrates the largest surrender of the American military and the horrors of the infamous Bataan Death March that ensued. Many perished, but countless others showcased extraordinary forgiveness.
Turbulence in the Skies
American Airlines anticipate carrying more than 270 million passengers between June 1st and August 31st this year, and not all flights are likely to be uneventful, if earlier events serve as a reference.
In March, a passenger's baggage went missing at a Florida airport, only to be later located at an airport shop worker's house. The employee is now facing a felony theft charge.
In yet another incident, American Airlines received negative publicity when they blamed a child for being recorded in an airplane restroom without consent. The airline, however, revised their response following public outcry. Additionally, a group of black passengers have filed a lawsuit against them, accusing the airline of ordering their removal from a flight due to an unfounded body odor complaint.
Despite the constant legal entanglements, American Airlines managed to rank 25th on a new 2024 list of the world's top airlines, judged by AirlineRatings.com. Check out the global leaders, with mainly Gulf and Asia-Pacific carriers taking the top positions.
