Fort Myers, FL, United States (AHN) – Norman Love Confections knows the secret to sweet success.

The Florida-based chocolatier has been named the best chocolate in the United States, for the sixth time, by Consumer Reports in its February issue–just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Norman Love makes about 30,000 chocolates by hand every day at its Fort Myers facility. In awarding the company top honors, the magazine cited “the combination and the blending of the chocolate with the fillings.”

The chocolate shop is expanding with fresh gelato and bakery selections. The company also plans to take full advantage of its location, which is very close to the Red Sox spring training stadium.

Even better, Love plans to open more retail locations in the future.

Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – According to the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board, two planes landed safely early Wednesday morning at Washington’s Reagan National Airport after they received no response from the airport’s air traffic control tower.

The FAA did not comment on reports that the airport controller had fallen asleep.

The situation started at 12:10 a.m. Wednesday when an American Airlines plane tried to call the tower for clearance to land but got no answer, reports stated. The pilot contacted a regional air traffic control facility, which also had no luck getting a response from the tower.

The regional controller reported to the pilot that the tower apparently was unmanned, speculating that the tower controller got locked out of the tower – which is not unusual, but does not happen often, according to the regional controller.

The plane landed without incident in what was termed an “uncontrolled airport.”

Minutes later, a United flight also failed to raise the tower and landed without any problems. After the second landing, the tower was back in communication.

FAA officials are investigating the incident and are staffing two controllers for the overnight shift instead of the usual one, reports stated.

Although some airports around the country shut down their towers for the night, FAA officials did not say whether or not Reagan National Airport participated in that practice.

There were no reports of how many passengers or crew were on board either plane.
