The road to success

Divorcée leaves everything behind to travel the world. At first, the story seems simple and unoriginal. In the hands of Elizabeth Gilbert, however, what might be just a journey to self-awareness turns into one of the literary hits in recent years. Eat, Pray, Love (2006), 158 weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list, sold over 6.4 million copies in the US alone.

The attack at Domodedovo’s international arrival areas killed 35 people and wounded 180.

Domodedovo Airport closed down temporarily after the blast but then reopened after only 20 minutes. Many aircrews and passengers in its secure departure and arrival areas at the time were not even aware of the blast.

What happened at Domodedovo shows that the airport lacks security.
