Spirit airlines shuts down, One year searching for two Nova Scotia children, Banksy's newest art piece, and more
5/2/202628 min
After more than three decades in the skies, Spirit Airlines is shutting down. The low-cost carrier failed to secure a government bailout in the U.S. amid surging jet fuel costs. It's a blow for Canadians who rely on the bright yellow planes for affordable cross border travel. And the rising fuel prices could put pressure on other budget airlines.
Also: It's been one year since anyone has seen Lilly and Jack Sullivan. The young siblings disappeared from their rural Nova Scotia home, setting off a series of extensive searches through dense woods. And this week, Lilly and Jack's loved ones returned to the forest, desperate to find them.
And: In London, A large statue - erected under cover of darkness - is turning heads. It's the latest stunt from the elusive street artist Banksy. And the statue's satirical message has Londoners talking.
Plus: Burmese refugees in Thailand, QR code scams in Toronto, and more
