San Jose International Airport

San Jose's international airport was forced to close on Thursday and several villages were evacuated after clouds of ash from the newly active Turrialba volcano reached the Costa Rican capital, authorities said.

Hawaii transportation officials released video Tuesday of a teenage Somali-immigrant's hopping from a jet's wheel well April 20 after stowing away for a 5-and-a-half-hour flight.

He was young, displaced and frustrated, and he wanted nothing more than to reunite with his mother in their native Africa.

A 15-year-old stowaway who survived a flight over the Pacific in a jet's wheel well spent seven hours undetected in what is supposed to be a highly secure area of San Jose International Airport before the flight departed, according to an official briefed on the investigation.
