Last Wednesday, a deadly fire damaged a Gulf of Mexico oil-drilling platform. The incident killed four people and injured many workers. At that time, three workers went missing and since then, the officials have been searching them.

On Sunday, Mexican officials said that they have decided to continue the search for the missing workers. They also said that repairs have begun to resume production at the facility. While providing information about the incident, officials from the national oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, stated that the fire killed about four people and injured 45 others. According to them, the deadly fire forced the evacuation of about 300 workers.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will allow fans to ride vintage subway cars to reach Yankee Stadium on Monday. The move has been adopted in honor of the Bombers' opening day.

As per sources, the classic vintage cars were part of the old IRT system, and started operating in 1917. The vintage cars ran in service for more than five decades before they were retired in the late 1960s.

With their rattan seats, paddle fans and incandescent light bulbs, they served as a splendid illustration of how far rapid-transit car design and technology have advanced over the past 100 years.

It has been told that the first ride will leave the Grand Central Terminal at 11:30 am on April 6, and will run non-stop throughout the day to the Bronx.

According to Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, Greece should enter an outline funding agreement with its lenders at a meeting of euro zone finance ministers. The meeting is scheduled to take place on April 24.

"At the Eurogroup (meeting) of April 24 there must be a preliminary conclusion (of the talks), as per the Eurogroup accord on February 20", said Varoufakis.

A new package of reforms has been offered by Greece in the hope of unlocking remaining funds from its bailout programme. But its EU and IMF have not yet signed EU and IMF. Since August last year, Athens has not got bailout help. According to experts, Athens has been hard pressed to cover payments amid a cash crunch.

According to scientists, there is a possibility that the mystery that why humans have chins could soon be solved. New research at the University of Florida revealed that the chin started to emerge as a consequence of major changes six million years previous. The scientists said emergence of cooking and softer food meant that humans no longer required big teeth and powerful jaws. More than the next two million years both got smaller and the chin was born.

Chin data from over 100 primate species was gathered by a team of scientists. The scientists compared this data with historical data. Computer modeling helped to trace the shifting orientation of the front of the jaw and the rate at which the chin developed.

The Rosetta probe of the European Space Agency (ESA) ran into trouble during a March 28 flyby near the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov Gerasimenko.

The fault is being analyzed by ground controllers after the spacecraft's encounter with comet dust confused its navigation system.

Rosetta moved past the comet's icy core at a distance of about 14 kilometers, or 8.7 miles during the March 28 flyby. According to ESA, the probe aimed for a flyby point over the larger of comet 67P's two lobes.

Since the comet is swinging closer to the sun, it is heating up and triggering plumes of outgassing water vapor and dust particles. The dust grains pushed against Rosetta's long power-generating solar arrays as it approached the comet.

A rocket that carried the US's first space nuclear reactor shot off from the California coast 50 years ago. The first identified reactor, SNAP-10A, has been circling the Earth ever since and will continue to circle for yet another 3,000 years. The US space agency NASA ran a System for Nuclear Auxiliary Power (SNAP) plan to study possibility of using nuclear power in space exploration in the 1960s.

For the first time, radioisotope thermoelectric generators were sent up in space. These technologies are still used in today's space probes like Voyager and Curiosity.
