-A plant that’s everywhere is fueling a growing risk of wildfire disaster
+Their five minute airplane chat led to lasting love [[https://trip36.win/|tripskan]]
-[[https://tripscan.biz/|трипскан]]
+On a recent transatlantic flight from Florida to London Heathrow, married flight attendants Hunter Smith-Lihas and John Lihas locked eyes across the aisle.
+The two men smiled at each other, before swiftly returning to serving champagne to first class travelers.
-A ubiquitous, resilient and seemingly harmless plant is fueling an increase in large, fast-moving and destructive wildfires in the United States.
-Grass is as plentiful as sunshine, and under the right weather conditions is like gasoline for wildfires: All it takes is a spark for it to explode.
+This shared smile was fleeting, but spoke volumes. And later, when Hunter and John were on break at the same time, the couple found themselves sitting in the onboard crew lounge, reflecting on the shared life and careers they’ve built together.
-Planet-warming emissions are wreaking havoc on temperature and precipitation, resulting in larger and more frequent fires. Those fires are fueling the vicious cycle of ecological destruction that are helping to make grass king.
+“I met you for five minutes on the airplane when I wasn’t even supposed to, and now we’re living in the city together, and you’re sitting across from me on the plane and we’re working together,” Hunter recalls saying to John.
-“Name an environment and there’s a grass that can survive there,” said Adam Mahood, research ecologist with the US Department of Agriculture’s research service. “Any 10-foot area that’s not paved is going to have some kind of grass on it.”
+“You never think when you meet someone for the first time like that, that it’d go this far. So it’s kind of surreal. And it honestly just makes you so happy, because you’re like, how did I get here?”
-Grass fires are typically less intense and shorter-lived than forest fires, but can spread exponentially faster, outrun firefighting resources and burn into the growing number of homes being built closer to fire-prone wildlands, fire experts told CNN.

+First date: On their first date, Hunter flew from his home in Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina to meet John, who was there on a layover. Here's the couple that evening.
+Long distance: John and Hunter lived in different cities, but traveled to meet one another when they could. Here they are on a trip to Los Angeles during this period.
+Growing relationship: "I actually liked the long distance part at the time, because it gave us time to really appreciate our time with each other," Hunter tells CNN Travel today.
+Surprise trip: For Hunter's birthday, John surprised him with a trip to Disney World in Florida.
+New adventures: After just over a year of long distance, John and Hunter moved in together and both moved to Detroit. "It was an adjustment," says Hunter. "But I think overall, it was more of an adventure."
+Puerto Rico proposal: On a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, Hunter asked John to marry him. "It all clicked, like the rest of my life is coming together perfectly," recalls John.

+How Hunter and John got here was via a series of unexpected moments and decisions starting six years ago, in 2017.
-Over the last three decades, the number of US homes destroyed by wildfire has more than doubled as fires burn bigger and badder, a recent study found. Most of those homes were burned not by forest fires, but by fires racing through grass and shrubs.
+Back then, Hunter was just known as Hunter Smith. He was in his early 20s and working as a gate agent for Spirit Airlines. He’d aspired to work in aviation since he’d starting watching a flight attendant who chronicled her job on YouTube.
-The West is most at risk, the study found, where more than two-thirds of the homes burned over the last 30 years were located. Of those, nearly 80% were burned in grass and shrub fires.
+“I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is the best job ever. I definitely want to do something like this,’” Hunter tells CNN Travel today.
-One part of the equation is people are building closer to fire-prone wildlands, in the so-called wildland-urban interface. The amount of land burning in this sensitive area has grown exponentially since the 1990s. So has the number of houses. Around 44 million houses were in the interface as of 2020, an increase of 46% over the last 30 years, the same study found.
-Building in areas more likely to burn comes with obvious risks, but because humans are also responsible for starting most fires, it also increases the chance a fire will ignite in the first place.
+After he graduated college, Hunter secured a gate staff position in his home city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The role was the perfect foot in the aviation door.
-More than 80,000 homes are in the wildland-urban interface, in the sparsely populated parts of Kansas and Colorado that Bill King manages. The US Forest Service officer said living on the edge of nature requires an active hand to prevent destruction.
+Working the airport gate, Hunter interacted with hundreds, if not thousands, of people each day. As a sociable person, he always enjoyed the conversations — however brief — with travelers and airline staff.
-Property owners “need to do their part too, because these fires – they get so big and intense and sometimes wind-driven that they could spot miles ahead even if we have a huge fuel break,” King said.
+But Spirit Airlines’ employment pool was so big he rarely met the same flight attendants twice.
+One morning, one of Hunter’s gate attendant coworkers asked if he could pass on some papers to the captain of a soon-to-depart Spirit flight, which was heading to Orlando, Florida.
+This kind of task, says Hunter, was “typically not my job, I did not normally do that.”
