Also, the IRS website for online payments broke down hours before the midnight deadline.

In the news wrap Tuesday, an engine exploded on a Southwest airlines flight, en route from New York City to Dallas. It sent metal fragments into a window and killed a woman. Also, the IRS website for online payments broke down hours before the midnight deadline for filing income tax returns. There was no word on the cause, but millions of last-minute online filers could be affected.
