Sergio Marchionne, the CEO who saved Fiat and Chrysler, dies at 66

Auto legend Sergio Marchionne, the charismatic executive who turned Fiat and Chrysler around before combining the companies as a profitable business, died Wednesday. He was 66.
"Unfortunately, what we feared has come to pass. Sergio Marchionne, man and friend, is gone," John Elkann, a member of Fiat's founding Agnelli family, said in a statement.

Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) (FCA) had announced Marchionne's abrupt resignation as CEO on Saturday, citing "unexpected complications" while he was recovering from surgery. Marchionne was also chief executive of Ferrari, and both FCA and Ferrari announced successors who took immediate control of the companies.

Rescuers search rubble for survivors after motorway bridge collapses in Genoa, Italy
leaves at least 35 dead

"At least 35 people, including a child, died in the disaster, which happened as the city was
lashed by an intense thunderstorm, but the toll was expected to rise.

Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte called it "an immense tragedy ... inconceivable in a modern
system like ours, a modern country."

Dozens of cars and trucks plunged 150ft to the ground after the elevated motorway suddenly
collapsed."

I wish the authorities could've prevented this by at least closing the bridge if it was unsafe.
Really sorry for the friends and relatives of those who passed away. I do hope survivors
will be found.

You can hear it in their voices they were terrified I am glad they got out of that hell

Nature

It seems that the area covered by forests keeps growing despite
all of the bad news we keep hearing about global warming and loss
of forests. Since 1982 until 2016 tree cover has increased by 2.24
million km2.
