Man dies after being sucked into jet engine at Milan Bergamo Airport
July 8 (UPI) -- Flights were briefly put on hold at Milan Bergamo Airport in Italy after a man was sucked into a plane engine and died.
The man ran onto the tarmac and was "sucked into the engine of a plane that was preparing for takeoff," Italian media reported.
The aircraft was believed to be an Airbus A319 operated by Spanish carrier Volotea that was traveling from Italy to Spain.
Volotea said the person was not onboard the plane or affiliated with the airline.
It added that all 154 passengers and six crew members on the flight were safe following the incident and would be offered psychological support.
Italian authorities are investigating how the individual was able to reach the runway.
After the incident, the airport posted on social media that they were suspending flights from 10:20 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. due to a "problem that occurred on the taxiway," and air traffic resumed at 12:00 p.m.

Why ItaliaChains Has the Best Moissanite Tennis Chains (And Why Yours Keeps Flipping)
If you've ever worn a men's tennis chain that flips more than a politician during election week, chances are it didn't come from ItaliaChains. Because let's be honest — the moissanite tennis chain might be one of the shiniest pieces in men's jewelry, but not all of them are created equal. Especially when 90% of what's out there is mass-produced in China, with stones that fall out faster than your trust in gas station sushi. Enter: — the real ones behind the best handmade Italian tennis chains, made from solid 925 sterling silver, set with VVS D-color moissanite, and polished smooth like a glass of aged limoncello. Let's start with the obvious: these chains are actually made in Italy. Not 'Italy-inspired,' not 'Italy-designed,' and definitely not 'ships from Italy but made in who-knows-where.' ItaliaChains handcrafts their moissanite tennis chains in Arezzo, Italy, the jewelry capital of the country. Each link is carefully engineered and polished to lie flat and smooth on the neck — no flipping, twisting, or awkward tangling. Because what's the point of an iced-out chain if the back of it is always the part showing? Look, we're not here to throw shade — but let's call it what it is. Mass-produced Chinese tennis chains often: Use cheap prongs or glue to hold stones (not good) Don't have proper link balancing, so the chain flips like a pancake Feature stones that look shiny… until you turn on the light shiny… until you turn on the light Are plated over brass or mystery metal instead of real silver Meanwhile, ItaliaChains offers: Real VVS D-color moissanite stones — yes, they pass the diamond tester stones — yes, they pass the diamond tester Solid 925 sterling silver bases or 14k gold vermeil over silver bases or over silver Hand-set stones that won't pop out the second you sneeze that won't pop out the second you sneeze Polished links that are smooth, flexible, and made to lay flat like a pro 1. 'This moissanite tennis chain looks better than my friend's real diamonds. No one can tell the difference — not even the jeweler.' — Andre M., New York, NY 2. 'Finally, a tennis chain that doesn't flip! I've worn mine every day for two months and it still sits perfectly flat.' — Brian S., Los Angeles, CA 3. 'I bought the 4mm moissanite tennis chain from ItaliaChains and paired it with their matching bracelet. People think I dropped 10K — I let them think that.' — Jason R., Miami, FL 4. 'I compared mine to one I bought from another site. The ItaliaChains version was heavier, the stones were brighter, and it didn't turn my neck green.' — Elijah W., Chicago, IL 5. 'Customer service helped me pick the right length, and the quality blew me away. Handmade in Italy really does hit different.' — Marcus D., Houston, TX If you're looking for a moissanite tennis chain that shines like diamonds, doesn't flip like a fish, and actually lasts more than two parties, is where it's at. With real Italian craftsmanship, GRA-certified moissanite, and no middleman markup, they're delivering men's tennis chains that check every box: ✅ Shine✅ Weight✅ Comfort✅ Durability ✅ Not made in a warehouse that also sells fidget spinners Skip the hype. Go for the handmade. ItaliaChains has the smoothest, iciest, flattest moissanite tennis chains on the market — and your neck will thank you. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Woman Tries to Impress Her Boyfriend with a Homemade Dinner. His Reaction Disappoints Her
He thanked her for cooking but admitted the meal wasn't impressive, and now he's wondering if he was too honest A man turns to the Reddit community for advice following a tense moment with his girlfriend after a home-cooked meal didn't quite earn the reaction she'd hoped for. The 23-year-old shares that he and his 22-year-old girlfriend recently moved in together after dating for over a year. 'We both work weird hours,' he writes in his post, explaining that their usual dinner routine leans heavily on takeout. 'But when we do have a home-cooked meal, it's usually me who cooks.' The boyfriend grew up in an Italian family and says that while he doesn't consider himself a master chef, he can throw together a solid dinner. His girlfriend, on the other hand, grew up eating 'frozen pizzas, canned soup, and microwave meals,' and rarely cooks. On this particular night, he comes home from work to find that his girlfriend has made spaghetti and meatballs. 'I thanked her for making dinner and ate a large portion because I was starving,' he recalls. But when she asked how he liked it, his low-key response didn't land well. 'I said it was good, but I didn't really say it with any enthusiasm,' he explains, clarifying that he didn't mean to sound rude but was just answering honestly. His girlfriend seemed disappointed and asked what she had done wrong. He reassured her that 'she did nothing wrong. It's just basic spaghetti and meatballs.' She pressed further, confused because she thought it was a meal he loved. He admitted he did love it, but added, 'since she asked, I pointed out that she had used frozen meatballs and sauce from a jar.' He emphasizes that there's nothing wrong with that. 'I was happy to eat it,' he says, but didn't understand what kind of reaction she was expecting from something so simple. 'She said she wanted to impress me,' he continued, and that's when it clicked. 'I realized that she has so little experience with cooking that she really didn't understand the difference between what she made vs. a homemade meal.' Feeling bad about his reaction, he apologized. 'I realize that to her, this is a huge effort and a step up from what she is used to,' he admits, adding that he thanked her again and suggested they cook together later in the week. She accepted the apology, but he notes she 'went to bed early' and believes she's still hurt. 'I think she is still upset,' he writes, wondering if he's in the wrong. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. He stresses that he wasn't trying to criticize her. 'I myself have used frozen meatballs and jar sauce many times out of convenience,' he says. 'I was simply being honest when she asked me why I wasn't more excited about it.' Reddit users offered their thoughts, with one commenter writing, 'Now that you realize that she took that extra step to learn, I think you did the right thing after the fact by apologizing.' They added, 'She wanted you to be proud of her… Next time just be a little more considerate of her feelings.' Another agreed he handled it well in the end. 'Not the AH,' they wrote. 'When you realized how big it was to her, you made it better with understanding and an apology.' Though the night didn't go as his girlfriend had hoped, the poster seems committed to making it right. 'She's trying to learn,' he says, 'and I thanked her again.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Killer Whales Attack Boat Again
Two French sailors were rescued off the coast of northern Spain after their boat was rammed by orcas. They were taken safely to shore by the Spanish coastguard after the killer whales attacked their boat's rudder around two miles from the town of Deba, near Bilbao, according to several local media reports. A pod of orcas made headlines in 2023 for their repeated attacks off the Strait of Gibraltar at Spain's southern tip. Rescuers have said orca attacks like this are uncommon in the Basque region, close to France, where they had never before been called to assist in such circumstances. This has sparked questions about whether this is a one-off or the start of more attacks. The recurrence of these encounters is raising questions about animal behavior, the risks for boaters, and the future of human-orca interactions in a rapidly changing sea environment. Newsweek has contacted the Spanish coastguard, via email, for comment. On July 21 two French sailors were rescued off the coast of Deba, in Spain's Basque Country after their 10-meter yacht lost steering following an encounter with two killer whales, said the sources, including Cadena SER. According to the Spanish maritime safety agency Salvamento Marítimo, the sailors issued a distress call when their rudder was broken, leaving them adrift, though they did not take on water. The rescue vessel Salvamar Orión towed them safely to the port of Getaria. Researchers and sailors have reported a pattern of orcas approaching from behind and targeting boat rudders. If the vessel is immobilized, the whales often lose interest. British wildlife conservation professor Volker Deecke warned British sailors to be cautious, especially in orca hotspots like the "orca alley" of the Strait of Gibraltar. "For some unknown reason, the killer whales have developed a penchant for breaking the rudders of sailboats and once they have achieved this, they leave the boat alone," he told The Telegraph. Orcas have been causing problems for years in the Strait of Gibraltar and around the Iberian coast, but these attacks have intensified and spread in recent years. Data shows the attacks peaking in 2022 and making headlines in 2023 but have been common since 2020. Captain Dan Kriz, who has been ambushed at least twice by the same pod of orcas, previously told Newsweek: "There is not much one can do. They are very powerful and smart … First time, we could hear them communicating under the boat. This time, they were quiet, and it didn't take them that long to destroy both rudders. Looks like they knew exactly what they are doing. They didn't touch anything else." Biologist Alfredo López Fernandez, from the University of Aveiro in Portugal and a representative of the Grupo de Trabajo Orca Atlántica (Atlantic Orca Working Group), previously told LiveScience: "The orcas are doing this on purpose, of course, we don't know the origin or the motivation, but defensive behavior based on trauma, as the origin of all this, gains more strength for us every day." Spanish authorities continue to monitor incidents, issue advisories during peak activity periods from May to August, and advocate boaters' compliance with best-practice guidelines to avoid escalating confrontations. Scientists remain divided on the causes behind this pattern, proposing theories from learned behavior due to trauma, playful social learning, or even practice for hunting. Both researchers and conservationists continue to emphasize the importance of protecting the endangered orca subpopulation while safeguarding sailors. Increased surveillance, further study, and public education campaigns are anticipated as both communities seek sustainable coexistence.
