A person passed away mid-flight with 3 kohanim on board. The kohanim were mistakenly told not to alight until the body was removed because they mustn't come within 4 cubits. This ruling was incorrect, and the kohanim should have asked permission to alight as soon as possible, even before the first-class passengers.

Meiron has become a new frontier in Halachic literature. After many years of kohanim going there indiscriminately, over the past year or two the question has arisen as to what the halachic basis is. A group of Rabbinic experts in the field collected information on site and queried the major poskim who all ruled that kohanim should not go near the building, since the area around the building seems to be an ancient cemetery.
