Flight 108, operated by a Boeing 787-8, departed IAD at 18:11 on Friday and was climbing through 5,000 feet when the left engine failed. The pilots declared a "mayday", and after a tense half hour in which it dumped fuel, were able to safely return to the airport without harm to passengers or crew

LATAM Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner making an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with its Ram Air Turbine (RAT) deployed.
This event occurred on July 31st, 2025 (or possibly August 1st, 2025, according to some reports).
The aircraft, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, had been in a holding pattern over the Pacific Ocean for nearly an hour before returning to LAX.
The deployed Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is a small turbine that can be extended from an aircraft to provide emergency power in case of a main engine or generator failure.
Videos of the emergency landing, showing the deployed RAT, went viral on social media.

A statement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regarding a technology issue that disrupted United Airlines' operations on August 7, 2025.
Here now details of the event based on the FAA statement and related information:
The Issue: United Airlines experienced a technology issue, later identified as a problem with its weight and balance computer system, disrupting mainline flights.
Impact: This led to ground stops for United flights at major U.S. airports like Denver, Newark, Houston, Chicago, and San Francisco, causing hundreds of delays and cancellations.
FAA Involvement: The FAA was aware of the disruption and offered full support to help United address the flight backlog and recover operations.
Resolution & Aftermath: United announced that the underlying technology issue was resolved, but residual delays were expected as the airline worked to restore normal operations.
Controllable Delay: United treated the incident as a controllable delay, meaning it would cover expenses like hotels for affected passengers when applicable.

No support from Indian govt': Families of Air India flight crash victims take Boeing Battle to US Courts
The victims families allege that Centre has not handed over a single piece of raw data, no clarity and no commitment. Only the dull echo of bureaucratic indifference.
The families of the victims in the AI-171 Air India crash are no longer waiting in silence. They demanded full access to the flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR). Without this, they say, no investigation official or independent can be trusted. Suspicion runs deep. What if the data is filtered? What if the truth is buried under corporate interests and state complicity?

American 19 years old pilot Ethan Guo, aiming to raise cancer‑research funds with a solo flight to all continents, illegally landed in Antarctica in June. A judge dropped charges in exchange for a donation, but he remains stranded.
We have already talked about this , why have kept this boy trapped?
Ethan Guo, an American 19 years influencer has been stuck since June in a remote location in Chilean territory in Antarctica.
Authorities say Guo landed his small plane illegally after providing false flight plan information to officials who opened an investigation.
Guo made headlines last year when the then-19-year-old teen began a trip in an attempt to become the youngest person to fly solo to all seven continents and at the same time collect donations for research into childhood cancer.
We all should come together to help this boy, we should come forward, he is doing this not for himself but for the world, those children who are suffering from cancer This boy is earning money for them so that helpless children can get treatment

Two easyJet aircraft collide while taxiing at Manchester Airport.
The easyJet aircraft clipped wings at about 06:30 BST, an airport spokesman said. There have been no reports of injuries.
Passengers have since disembarked from both planes which had been due to take off for Paris and Gibraltar respectively.
Flights have resumed at the airport following a brief suspension for a safety assessment which found minor damage to the planes.

A woman was in the toilet of an IndiGo flight and the co-pilot entered inside, the airline apologized
Riya Chatterjee said that she was on a late night flight on August 8. She used the lavatory, which was unlocked. She claimed that after locking the door, she heard a knock and responded to it.
What did the passenger say in her complaint
Chatterjee wrote, 'I was shocked and felt completely humiliated. The female flight attendants took this incident lightly. She just said that she was sorry for the inconvenience. She said that she did not see anything.' She further wrote that I wanted to run away from that place as soon as possible. But, I had no option. Except to return to my seat. For the next one and a half hours, I kept wishing that I could become invisible. I felt deep hatred inside me and felt completely lonely.

How Does an Aircraft Stay Cool at 35,000 Feet?
At 35,000 feet , the outside air temperature drops to around -50°C (-58°F) — yet inside the cabin, passengers enjoy a cozy 21–24°C. So, how does an aircraft stay *cool* at that altitude, especially when engines and electronics generate significant heat?
🔹 1. Cold Air Isn't the Problem — It's Cabin Heat
Ironically, despite the freezing environment, passenger cabins can get hot due to:
* Body heat from hundreds of passengers
* Electronic systems
* Cabin lighting
* Galley equipment (ovens, etc.)
🔹 2. Bleed Air System
Modern aircraft use the bleed air system :
* Air is taken (bled) from the engine compressors , cooled down, and then circulated into the cabin.
* This air is mixed with recirculated cabin air , filtered, and distributed evenly.
🔹 3. Air Conditioning Packs
* Aircraft have AC Packs (Air Conditioning Packs) located below the cabin floor.
* These use an air cycle machine (no freon) that compresses, expands, and cools air — like a mini jet engine air conditioner.
🔹 4. Temperature Zoning
* Modern jets (like the Boeing 787 or Airbus A350 ) use zoned temperature control , letting pilots and crew adjust temps for different parts of the cabin (cockpit, economy, business).
Did You Know?
Even though it’s freezing outside, heat builds up fast in a pressurized tube with 300 people. That’s why cooling—not heating—is the priority at cruise altitude.
Fun Fact
The cooling system on an aircraft is strong enough to completely refresh the cabin air every 2–3 minutes , making it cleaner than most office buildings.
