Korean Air’s terrifying descent

Korean Air flight KE189 from Seoul to Taichung was forced to execute an emergency U-turn after experiencing a sudden loss of cabin pressure. The Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft plummeted more than 25,000 feet, causing panic among passengers and crew members. Approximately 50 minutes into the flight, passengers sensed a troubling change as the aircraft rapidly descended.

In just 15 minutes, the plane descended by about 26,900 feet from its cruising altitude. The drop triggered the automatic deployment of oxygen masks, leading to scenes of distress onboard.

Rocket debris falls over village

Debris from a suspected Chinese rocket fell over a village in the Sichuan province, reported the CNN. Following the circulation of a video on Chinese video-sharing platforms depicting what seems to be rocket debris, the footage also made its way to the social media platform X. The video captures a large, cylindrical object descending over a village, emitting smoke as it crashes near a hill.

The descent generated yellow smoke from the fallen debris, creating an eerie scene. Villagers, including children, are shown running and looking back at the falling object, with some covering their ears, apparently preparing for the impact.

🇨🇳🇫🇷 China successfully launched the SVOM satellite but scared the village with its fall.
