Airports are places to get in and out of as quickly as possible for most people. Yet they’re heaven on earth for planespotters — or “jetrosexuals” — who defy suspicious glances in the name of fanatically filming and sharing our most misunderstood mode of transportation. Read it at BuzzFeed News.
2. People are Animals, Too — Mosaic/BuzzFeed News
