British couple on Air India flight named

Yahoo21 hours ago

A British couple believed to have been aboard the crashed Air India flight posted about their 'magical experience' in the country.
Fiongal and Jamie Greenlaw-Meek, who run a spiritual wellness centre and yoga studio, spoke of their love of India and the 'mind-blowing' experiences they had had just hours before the flight took off.
Just after leaving the airport, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was engulfed in a huge fireball after plummeting into a building in the suburb of Ahmedabad, the largest city in Gujarat state.
The flight, with 242 people, including 53 British nationals, on board was en route to Gatwick airport. Eleven children were among the passengers.
On Tuesday, the Greenlaw-Meeks had posted on their social media accounts from their boutique hotel in the city, The House of MG, about how they planned to create a vlog documenting their time in the city and were excited to tell people about the details.

Sitting beside his husband, Fiongal said: 'So it's our last night in India and we have had a magical experience, really – there have been some quite mind-blowing things that have happened.'
Jamie said: 'We really have been on quite a journey, and then just spending the last night here in this amazing hotel, and we have just had the most delicious Tali food. It was a perfect way to round up the trip. Excited to share it all with you'.
Other videos show Fiongal discussing how they were 'feeling very, very, very happy' and showing off the 'treasures' that they had bought before a final video showed them in the airport as the plane was boarding.

The couple run The Wellness Foundry in south London and Ramsgate, Kent, which offers psychic readings, tarot, Reiki and yoga.
It has collaborated with brands including Dior, Google, and Netflix, according to its website, and was due to offer readings at Ramsgate's Pride march on Saturday.
In January, Fiongal appeared on ITV's This Morning to talk about people's auras and what they mean.
The couple's Wellness Foundry described it on Instagram as their 'biggest gig so far', adding that it was 'very nerve-wracking' but that Fiongal was 'honoured to chat about one of his favourite topics to such a big audience'.
The couple documented their professional and personal lives on social media, advertising 'psychic development' and spiritual retreats in the UK and Spain.
They have been together since 2019, getting married in various ceremonies, including one in Las Vegas, in 2022.
Jamie posted a series of pictures of their wedding day at Mill Farm in Gamlingay, Cambs, on Facebook, adding that they had made 'so many wonderful memories and fun to last a lifetime'.
He added: 'Thank you to my wonderful husband for keeping me calm in times of stress (sunshine after the rain)... My heart is so full of love and gratitude…'
Jamie has previously spoken about how he developed a passion for wellness and health when his late father was diagnosed with cancer.

Prince William's billionaire pal Sunjay Kapur dead at 53 after swallowing bee during polo match

Prince William's longtime friend, Sunjay Kapur, has died at age 53 after swallowing a bee, which had triggered a fatal heart attack. The billionaire businessman and chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar collapsed during a polo match in England on Thursday, the Mirror reports. Kapur, who is the former husband of Bollywood superstar Karisma Kapoor, was stung by a bee on the mouth, which subsequently triggered anaphylactic shock that caused his heart to stop, the outlet added. 4 Prince William's longtime friend, Sunjay Kapur, has died at age 53 after swallowing a bee which had triggered a fatal heart attack, it has been reported.

Just hours before his death, the Indian-born businessman, who had studied in the UK, paid tribute to the victims of Thursday's Air India plane crash that claimed the lives of 241 people. 'Terrible news of the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad,' he wrote on X. 'My thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected. May they find strength in this difficult hour.'

Trump considers auto tariff hike to boost US production

US President Donald Trump announced on that he may soon raise auto tariffs, aiming to encourage automakers to accelerate their investments in the US, reported Reuters. This move comes amid ongoing discussions between automakers and the White House regarding the 25% tariffs previously imposed on autos by Trump. Trump said at a White House event: "I might go up with that tariff in the not too distant future. The higher you go, the more likely it is they build a plant here." The Detroit Three automakers have expressed concerns over a recent deal that reduces tariffs on British car imports while maintaining them for Canadian and Mexican production. Trump highlighted recent investment commitments, such as General Motors' plan to invest $4bn in three US plants and relocate some SUV production from Mexico. In March, Hyundai announced a $21bn investment, which includes a new US steel plant. Mexico stated last month that cars assembled in Mexico and exported to the US will face an average tariff of 15%, rather than 25%, due to reductions for the value of US content. Trump said: "They wouldn't have invested 10 cents if we didn't have tariffs, including for manufacturing American steel, which is doing great.' Automakers are grappling with rising cost pressures due to tariffs. Ford Motor and Subaru of America have recently increased prices on certain models to offset higher costs. In May, Ford projected that tariffs would impact its adjusted earnings by approximately $1.5bn. General Motors reported last month that its current tariff exposure ranges from $4bn to $5bn, including around $2bn on affordable vehicles imported from South Korea, where entry-level Chevrolet and Buick models are produced.
