Behind-The-Scenes Your Bag's Journey On Delta
Come fly away: The suitcase begins its journey at Georgia airport moments before it goes through the rubber flaps at the check-in desk
Ready for the drop: The bag passes through the rubber flaps and onto a steep conveyer belt in a separate part of the airport
The room is filled by pipes, cables and more intertwining conveyer belts taking luggage around the building
One for the road: The bag is packed into a wagon and driven to the plane
Loading up: The view from the suitcase as it goes up the conveyor belt to the aircraft's storage compartment
Get fastened it: A baggage handler secures the compartment before other suitcases are added
Two hours later in New York the suitcase goes round the conveyor belt in front of passengers anxious to collect their luggage

China's Ghost Town That Looks Like A British Village
Thames Town looks a lot like your average historic English village. There are lush green squares, classic brick homes, and even red telephone booths.
But Thames Town is not nestled in the British countryside; it's located in the northeast corner of China in Songjiang, near Shanghai.
And it didn't grow gradually over hundreds of years; it sprang up in 2006 as part of Shanghai's "One City, Nine Town" initiative, an attempt to decentralize the city.
The city is a virtual ghost town, with empty shops and unused roads.It's a popular destination for wedding photos.
