Flint Lockwood thinks he's a genius. But none of the things he invented are things that make sense or are useful. However, he has the support of his mother but when she dies, he's left alone with his father who thinks he should give it up. When the community that he lives in is in an economic crisis because their primary source of income, a sardine cannery, was shut down, Flint decides to try his latest invention, a machine that can turn water into food. But something goes wrong and the machine ends up in the atmosphere. Later it starts raining food. The shifty mayor tries to use this as a way to help their community, but when Flint senses something wrong with the machine, the mayor convinces him to ignore it. However, as Flint predicts, chaos ensues.

Emma Christoffersen was diagnosed as having suffered a pulmonary embolus brought on by the immobility associated with long hyaul travel or flight-related Deep Vein Thrombosis.

But leading vascular surgeon, John Scurr, announced to the medical world that roughly one in 100 air passengers probably develop blood clots while flying long haul. Reporter Andy Davies investiges how the issue of DVT has been handled by the aviation industry.
