King wears black armband in memory of India air disaster at Trooping the Colour
Charles' official birthday was marked with a display of military pomp and pageantry but at the King's request the event acknowledged the aviation disaster that claimed the lives of 241 passengers and crew, including more than 50 British nationals, as well as around 30 people on the ground. The head of state and his wife left Buckingham Palace in a carriage at the head of a procession travelling along The Mall and into Horse Guards Parade where hundreds of guardsmen were on parade. Princess Charlotte and the Princess of Wales during the procession (Aaron Chown/PA) Prince Louis (left) and Prince George were seated with their mother and sister (Aaron Chown/PA) The appearance of the Prince and Princess of Wales' children sparked cheering when they were spotted in a carriage with their mother, Kate. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis followed the King and Queen, with other coaches carrying the Duchess of Edinburgh, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Riding behind the King were the royal colonels wearing black armbands – the Prince of Wales, who is Colonel of the Welsh Guards; the Princess Royal, Colonel of the Blues and Royals; and the Duke of Edinburgh as Colonel of the Scots Guards. The Prince of Wales salutes his father on horseback (Aaron Chown/PA) The Royal Procession was accompanied by the Sovereign's Escort of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment and the sounds of the Band of the Household Cavalry, led by two shire drum horses bearing solid silver kettle drums. Senior officers taking part in Trooping also wore black armbands as a mark of respect for the aviation victims, as did the coachmen and women from the Royal Mews, driving carriages carrying members of the royal family or riding on a coach's lead horse as a postilion. A minute's silence will be observed after the King has inspected the guardsmen on the parade ground. It will be signalled by a bugler sounding the Last Post and will end with the Reveille. Members of the Coldstream Guards prepare for Trooping the Colour at Horse Guards Parade (Jonathan Brady/PA) A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said the King had requested amendments to the Trooping the Colour programme 'as a mark of respect for the lives lost, the families in mourning and all the communities affected by this awful tragedy'. In 2017, Trooping was held a few days after the Grenfell Tower blaze and the loss of life was marked by a minute's silence in a decision taken by Queen Elizabeth II.

'Watched Too Much Fast & Furious:' MK4 Toyota Supra Evades Police on Highway. Then a Trooper Conducts 'Insane' PIT Maneuver
A Toyota Supra MK4 driver attempted to evade Florida police and ended up the subject of a trooper's PIT maneuver. But the internet is more concerned with the judgement of the driver, based on the specs of the vehicle. A Reddit user posted dashcam footage of the incident to the Supra subreddit on June 11. The video shows a Florida Highway Patrol trooper pursuing a black Supra MK4 at a presumably high rate of speed. The trooper catches up to the Supra and performs the PIT maneuver, which sends it spinning across the highway and into a utility pole. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . A PIT maneuver , or precision immobilization technique, involves striking the rear end of a vehicle to cause it to spin out. Its use is controversial, as it often leads to wrecks like the one that ended with the MK4 Toyota Supra smashed up like an aluminum can. The Redditor who posted it wondered, 'What's the story behind this chase?' Another sarcastically replied, 'Idiot watched too much Fast and Furious .' Others pointed to another r/Supra thread discussing a screenshot of the FHP Tampa's Instagram post regarding the incident. The post includes three photos of the Supra, which was completely destroyed. The caption explains that a trooper attempted to stop the driver for going 93 mph in a 55 mph speed zone. A chase ensued, followed by a crash. Rather miraculously, the driver reportedly walked away from the crash with non-life-threatening injuries and went to a local hospital for treatment.

Then He Changes Settings One thing that pretty much everyone across platforms agrees on is that the driver (if what police say is true) made a poor decision with a precious vehicle. "I drive an NA Supra," wrote one Redditor. "There's a reason I don't do stupid things. Why destroy the illusion that all Supras make 1000 horsepower by putting the foot down and showing you only have 150 horsepower? Now everyone will know just how slow my car is. Jerk." The Supra MK4, which Toyota released from 1993-2002, was one of the definitive sports cars of that decade. The fourth generation of the model is known for its power and appearance in the Fast and Furious film series. An Instagram user blamed the police. "You totaled a special car and caught a guy speeding. Almost killed the driver and passenger with the maneuver,' they wrote. 'Good job." 'The junkyard's gonna love this one,' another user joked. This is a rare model of Supra. A person on an MK4 forum claims that there were only about 47,000 ver produced. So it's understandable that some corners of the internet are upset that this one was destroyed in an arguably avoidable crash. Motor1 reached out to Toyota via email for comment.
