Man wearing metal necklace pulled into MRI machine in New York

A man wearing a large metal necklace was pulled into an MRI machine in New York. The 61-year-old, who has not been named, was pulled by the machine's strong magnetic force after he entered a room at the Nassau Open MRI clinic while a scan was under way, Nassau County Police said. It is unknown why the man entered the room or if he was a patient at the clinic. Police added that the accident on Wednesday afternoon "resulted in a medical episode" and left the man in a critical condition in hospital. There was no update on his condition on Friday. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The machines use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. Due to the magnetic fields, "very powerful forces" are exerted on objects made of iron, some steels, and other magnetic materials, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering says. Read more from Sky News: It says the forces are "strong enough to fling a wheelchair across the room". Sky News' US partner network NBC New York reported that MRI accidents are rare but can be fatal.

"Our Leaders Are Expected To Set The Standard In Both Conduct And Accountability": The Company That Employs The CEO Who Was Called Out By Coldplay For Allegedly "Having An Affair" Has Issued A Statement

During a "kiss cam" moment at Coldplay's Boston concert this past Wednesday, the camera landed on a couple who had been then suddenly seemed to panic at being put on the screen. And let's just say, the whole situation was very awkward. @jennyquack / Here is the viral clip that has been viewed well over 53 million times. Chris Martin called them out, saying, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." The moment has gone viral, and the pair has been identified as Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and HR Chief Kristin Cabot. The internet has not held back its opinions on the matter, and now a formal statement by the company has been made. BuzzFeed spoke to Astronomer's Director of Communication Taylor Jones, who confirmed the statement is posted on LinkedIn and X. It reads, "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly. Alyssa Stoddard was not at the event and no other employees were in the video. Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect." And, as expected, people are on the edge of their seats, waiting to see how the company handles this situation. Neither Coldplay, Andy, nor Kristin has publicly addressed the matter. BuzzFeed has been unable to reach Andy Byron directly. And we've also contacted Chris's reps for additional comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
