An Airbus A380 Suffered A 14-Hour Flight With A Hole In Its Side, According To Reports.

Passengers on an Emirates flight from Dubai to Brisbane, Australia were stunned to discover a gaping hole in the side of their plane as they disembarked. The Airbus A380—which can carry up to 800 passengers—landed at Brisbane airport on July 1 following a nearly 14-hour journey. The damage was due to a ruptured tire caused by a "technical fault" while in the air, according to Emirates. One of the travelers on board has since taken to Twitter to depict the "frightening" occurrence, which occurred "during voyage." "Was totally frightening from the start and the lodge group knew something serious may have occurred - were promptly in touch with the cockpit," composed Andrew Morris, an English teacher at the UK's Loughborough University.

Two-Year-Old Orphaned In Parade Shooting Shielded By Father As Wounded Man Dies

Two-year-old Aiden McCarthy survived Monday's carnage at a July Fourth parade in suburban Chicago, but he is left to grow up without either of his parents. Kevin McCarthy, 37, and his wife, Irina, 35, were among seven people who died following an explosion of bullets from a rooftop into a holiday crowd in Highland Park, Illinois. Nearly 40 others were injured. Aiden was shielded from the gunfire by his father, Kevin, who lay wounded on the floor, according to US Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat.

Associate White House Staffer Kate Hospitalized For Paul Whelan’s Sister After She Ripped The Biden Administration.

Paul Whelan was given the opportunity to speak with White House staffers on Wednesday. The phone call was arranged by Elizabeth Whelan, the sister of Paul Whelan, after Whelan criticized the White House's handling of her case against her brother. Elizabeth Whelan's comments to CNN came after the White House released a readout of a phone call Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held with Cherelle Griner, the wife of WNBA star Brittney Griner, the American basketball star who is also being held in Russia. Whelan said she was angry that her brother's case was not receiving the same level of attention from the White House. A National Security Council spokesman said Thursday that her concerns are being addressed through ongoing efforts. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national secur...

Boris Johnson’s Departure Has Left The World’s Fifth Biggest Economy In Crisis.

Boris Johnson will resign as UK prime minister Thursday after dozens of members of his party quit the government. But his popularity outside parliament has also been badly dented by surging inflation and stagnation in the British economy, a cost-of-living crisis that threatens to impoverish millions more people this winter, and the risk of a damaging trade war with the European Union. UK stocks surged, and the pound gained 0.75% to trade at $1.20 — recovering slightly from two-year lows hit earlier this week. "Make no mistake however, the [pound] remains severely weak due to the dire state of the UK economy which is underperforming its peers, [and] likely to enter into a recession," wrote Walid Koudmani, chief market analyst at broker XTB, in a note to clients. Whoever emerges from the ...

Spacex Has Been Granted Permission To Install Starlink Internet Connectivity To Aircraft, Rvs.

SpaceX's satellite-based internet service, Starlink, has now been given authorization to expand, and will service aircraft, ships, automobiles, RVs and other mobile units.

Because Of The Wildfire Threat, Machu Picchu In Peru Recently Faced Threats.

Peru's firefighters were battling to control a forest fire near the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu on Thursday, as the fire threatened to reach the historic site high up in the Andes. The firebrand, which encompassed an area of roughly half the size of Vatican City, started on Tuesday by farmers burning undergrowth and debris to clear the way for a new planting season. As of Wednesday, about 20 hectares (49 acres) had been affected by the fire. The mayor of the nearby city of Cusco said that Machu Picchu, a complex of stone structures sitting atop a mountain, was built more than 500 years ago by Incas. The fire's remoteness has hindered firefighters' efforts. "We have already been fighting the forest fire for two days and it has not been possible to get it under control, given the area is ...

A highly emotional Amanda Anisimova got the better of her southpaw opponent Coco Gauff during singles on Centre Court on Saturday. The two Americans battled in a high-quality matchup; Anisimova won, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-1.

By the end of the set, both players were separated by a tiebreak which Gauff managed to win before momentum swung back in favor of Anisimova. Gauff's first se...
