But just as confused and relieved as their predecessors, gold medalists Nina Holmen, Riitta Salin, Pentti Kahma and Hannu Siitonen were the first to get out of the plane.
The joy of seeing you again. Nina and Rune Holmen.

Paula Palomäki, Kerava (HS)
Keravan the city has attacked plot owners and conservationists for the industrialization of Alikerava, a 300-hectare industrial area along the main railway line.
My nightmare as a conservationist is an industrial landscape that would start at the border of Vantaa and end almost in the center of Kerava. The formula would eat small houses, trees and natural landscapes.
“The city threatens and blackmails the plot owners; environmental protection does not seem to apply to the city of Kerava”, say the angriest opponents.
Keravalainen Vaho Oy’s oil refining plant is part of that failed industry, which is my nightmare as a conservationist.

The dizzying flight ended in a canyon
Twin Falls, Idaho (Washington Post)
A year the stunt that was advertised as the most idiotic was over in an instant: the flight of American stuntman Evel Knievel with the Ferris wheel rocket turned nose first towards the Snake river flowing at a depth of 1,800 meters immediately after takeoff.
– –
More than 20,000 people were on the edge of the Snake River canyon watching as Knievel was pulled alive and unharmed from the wreckage of his rocket on the river’s edge.
– –
Many thought Knievel was weak-minded. The commercialization of rapture and extracting money from all possible holes received a fairly general verdict.
In addition, the rapture was characterized as an “immoral, barbaric, grotesque suicide attempt”.
American freak Evel Knievel’s rocket’s parachute opened ahead of time and the rocket landed on it perpendicularly to the bottom of the canyon, swaying on its tip. The purpose was to fly from one edge of the canyon to another.
