A solar eruption is caused for diverted planes. Radiation that hit the earth on Tuesday is forcing the redirection of at least a half dozen airplanes that were routed over the North Pole. The radiation is from a immense solar blast. The warning came from NOAA's space weather that "there was geomagnetic storm on Monday." A satellite witnessed an ultraviolet flash from a massive solar eruption. The rerouting is to prevent  radio communication loss and exposing pilots and passengers from radiation.

US Navy Seals rescued two hostages from pirates. This is the same Navy Seal unit that killed bin Laden. An American woman and a Danish man were being held hostage in Somalia. President Obama gave the order for the rescue mission two days earlier. Minutes after he gave his State of Union Address he was on the phone with the American girl's father  to tell him that his daughter is safe. Jessica Buchanan and Paul Hogan were working for the demining unit of the DRC when they were kidnapped in October. The US Seals parachuted close to the town where they were being held and rescued Buchanan and Hogan unharmed. President Obama stated that "the United States will not tolerate the abduction of our people and will spare no effort to secure the safety of our citizens and to bring their captors to justice."
