One of India's largest airports will be closed until at least Aug. 26 after torrential rains put ramps and runways under about three feet of water. Cochin Airport, in the southeastern state of Kerala, has had almost three times the normal rainfall this monsoon season and the airport was closed last Thursday. The airport, which ironically is the country's only 100 percent solar-powered facility, has about 70,000 movements a year and more than 10 million passengers go through.
