Panic erupted aboard Southwest Flight 1496 when the aircraft took a terrifying nosedive just minutes after takeoff from Burbank, California, en route to Las Vegas. Passengers described being thrown from their seats as the plane dropped 20 to 30 feet to avoid a potential mid-air collision. Screams filled the cabin as children and adults feared they were crashing. Two flight attendants were injured, one reportedly dazed from hitting her head.

The incident sparked outrage and fear online, with some passengers demanding answers. A flight attendant reportedly quit on the spot. The terrifying nosedive has raised new concerns about mid-air traffic control safety. #Southwest #PlaneDrop #AviationScare #FAA #NearCollision #Flight1496 #MidAirIncident #EmergencyDescent #PassengerTerror #AirSafety #FlightChaos #AirTrafficFail #NearMiss #BurbankFlight #LasVegasBound #FlightScare #JetDrop #PilotAlert #BreakingNews #AirCrisis ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~

Trump’s 200% Tariff Threat to China RUINS Trade Deal | U.S Ultimatum on Rare Earths Shakes Markets

President Trump warned of steep 200% tariffs on China if rare-earth magnet exports were curbed, raising fresh concerns over the fragile U.S.-China trade truce. Speaking alongside South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Trump cited airplane parts as leverage, noting China’s reliance on Boeing jets. Rare-earth magnets are crucial for U.S. industries like automotive, electronics, and clean energy, with China controlling nearly 90% of global supply. Analysts caution Trump’s remarks may be more bluff than policy, but tensions over critical minerals remain a flashpoint in trade talks. #Trump #China #TradeWar #RareEarth #Magnets #Tariffs #USChinaRelations #Boeing #GlobalTrade #Manufacturing #CleanEnergy #Electronics #Automotive #TradeTalks #WhiteHouse #SouthKorea #USPolitics #TradeTruce #CriticalMinerals #EconomicPolicy #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #GlobalEconomy #ChinaExports #TrumpStatement #TradeTensions #BoeingDeal #MineralDependency #EnergySecurity #BreakingNews ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

India BLASTS 'Twisted' U.S Report On Air India Crash, Denies Pilot Fuel Cut Claim As ‘Baseless….’

Fresh controversy has erupted over the fatal Air India crash in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad last month. A Wall Street Journal report claims a cockpit recording reveals the captain cut off the aircraft’s fuel midair, moments after takeoff. The first officer, reportedly panicked, questioned the captain’s move, as per the leaked cockpit transcript. Both pilots, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, were killed along with 240 others onboard and 19 on the ground—only one person survived. While the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's (AIIB) preliminary report confirms both fuel switches were turned off within a second, it doesn’t state whether the action was accidental or deliberate. India’s Civil Aviation Minister urged restraint, saying no conclusions should be drawn yet. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has strongly condemned the US media report, calling it speculative and harmful. Meanwhile, Air India completed checks on the Fuel Control Switches in all Boeing 787s with no issues found. #AirIndiaCrash #PilotControversy #FuelCutAllegation #787Dreamliner #AviationProbe #FlightBlackBox #AirIndiaNews #WallStreetJournal #Boeing787 #IndianAviation #AhmedabadCrash #PilotLastWords #CivilAviationIndia #CrashInvestigation #PlaneCrashUpdate #CockpitRecording #FlightDisaster #AviationSafety #DGCAIndia #PilotBodyCondemnsReport ~ED.102~GR.124~HT.96~

Air India Incident: Runway Scare at Mumbai Airport During Heavy Rain

An Air India incident was narrowly averted at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on July 21, 2025, when flight AI 2744, an Airbus A320 from Kochi, veered off the runway during heavy rainfall. The Air India incident occurred at 9:27 AM, as the aircraft briefly entered a muddy area near the runway but returned to the tarmac without getting stuck. While all passengers and crew were safe, three tyres burst and possible engine damage was reported. The Air India incident prompted activation of emergency response teams, and operations have shifted to the secondary runway as minor damage was sustained on the primary strip. #AirIndiaIncident #MumbaiAirport #RunwayExcursion #AviationNews #EmergencyLanding ~HT.410~PR.282~GR.125~PR.152~
