Fire forces Delta flight from Atlanta to make emergency landing. Here's what caused the issue

It's in the lavatory. We're planning on taxiing clear of the runway,' the pilot told the Air Traffic Control Tower.

More than a dozen of the U.S.'s higher education institutions ranked in the top 20 of global universities. The 2025-26 ranking from U.S. News & World Report included 2,250 top universities from more than 100 countries and considered factors like the school's international opportunities, student makeup and research opportunities.

On the other hand, Princeton and the University of California's wide variety of centers, programs and research opportunities were mentioned in their ranking.
