As you can see, a huge crowd in Teheran yesterday. They support opposition 1 leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. He wants a new election. The rally was described as a peaceful protest. Witnesses say people approached police silently and smiled, and the officers smiled back. Mousavi spoke 2 to the cheering crowd. This video is from Youtube by the way. International journalists were not allowed to cover this, but Twitter messages say, he talked about Iran's economic problems as well as corruption 3.


Passengers on board Continental 4 Airlines flight said they had no idea their pilot had died until they landed. 60-year old Craig Lenell died of an apparent heart attack halfway 5 between Belgium and New Jersey 6. Two copilots and a relief pilot were on board. And that apparently 7 is normal on long flights. The plane did land safely. That's when passengers saw ambulances and fire trucks on the runway.


They've paged for a doctor?


Yes, they did. There were a lot of doctors on the plane.


Lucky?


Yes, they were very lucky instead.


And what point were you told?


Well, we may page for the medical emergency.


They called the doctor in the middle of the flight. That was it. So we did not know it with the pilot. We sat in first class. We did see the doctor moved to the front. That's all we saw.

Her attorney says the computer was linked to a file sharing site, but there is no proof his client was the one who gave away those songs.
