Terrible situation at Orlando airport a little while ago. Person fell from one of the hotel balconies. That was tense there for a bit. Glad kids are ignorant, posted one.

I was told that a person jumped from a balcony and the gun shot noise was from the fall. Perhaps he/she landed on the shuttle track. All shuttles to/from the terminals are currently shut down. Will report back if I hear more info.

Chelsea news: Maurizio Sarri hails Gonzalo Higuain and makes Eden Hazard revelation - Duration: 4:06.

 And after watching both him and Eden Hazard pick up braces in the 5-0 drubbing of Huddersfield, Sarri has backed the pair to form a lethal partnership

 Chelsea responded perfectly to the 4–0 defeat by Bournemouth in midweek by brushing their visitors aside at Stamford Bridge

 David Luiz was also on the scoresheet and Sarri was delighted with his players and singled out Higuain and Hazard for praise

 "I think we started very well in the first 25 minutes and then today we played for the whole 90 minutes but we need consistency," he said

 "Today is all positive, we played a full 90 minutes, defended very well, so it was a very good match but we need consistency now, we have to continue to play with the same mentality in all the matches

 "I hope in the future we will not need a lost match to find the right mentality. "Higuain is improving, he wasn't physically at the top when he arrived, because he had a back problem and wasn't involved, so only played a few matches

He is a great player, he is suitable to play with Eden (Hazard). "Our best moment in this match was the first 25 minutes, the way we moved with the ball was very fast dangerous

" Higuain opened the scoring after 16 minutes came courtesy of a brilliant piece of play from midfielder N'Golo Kante

 The Frenchman showed good feet on the edge of the box before playing a reverse pass with the outside of his post

 His pinpoint through ball found Higauin, who hit the ball first time to beat Jonas Lossl at his near-post with a typically precise finish in the 16th minute

 Hazard doubled Chelsea's lead from the penalty spot just before half-time after Cesar Azpilicueta was pushed by Elias Kachunga, although replays showed the contact was actually outside the box

 The Belgian made victory a formality when he rounded Lossl on 66 minutes and Higuain secured his brace with a curling effort from just outside the box just three minutes later

 Luiz's powerful header made it five with four minutes left, the Brazilian's effort from a Willian cross going in off Kachunga

 Hazard said he was delighted to give Sarri a much-needed win and put the disappointment of Bournemouth behind them

 "I always say when we lose a game, we need to win the game after and we did well today," the Belgian said

 "We played one of the best games of our season and scored five great goals. The fans were not happy on Wednesday and now they are so we are happy

We want to keep playing like this, like the manager wants. "I think he (Sarri) will be happy, because he was wanting a reaction from us and we gave him one

 "We try to work with each other, Higuain is a new player but he knows what the manager wants

He is a great striker and he can score a lot of goals. "England is different than Italy and Spain but he has that ability

If Giroud or I play as striker we always try and help each other. "After this game our confidence is better than two days ago but we play the champions so we know it will be difficult

We beat them at Stamford Bridge so why not again?"
