“Capping a painful year, 178-year-old British tour operator Thomas Cook collapsed 
Sunday night, potentially stranding hundreds of thousands of travelers.”
I spent quite a few minutes trying to figure if this was a misprint from the CNN business site or Thomas had really lived a long and charmed life.
I realized I didn’t explain:
The collapse of British travel giant Thomas Cook is having a ripple effect on the travel industry across the world, as destinations dependent on the group’s business are left high and dry.
The world’s oldest travel agency closed last week after banks and the British government refused its request for a bailout, leaving more than half a million travelers stranded.
