Plane at US airport evacuated minutes before take-off after ‘landing gear incident' sparks fire
Find out what's new on ST website and app. A man carrying a child slides out of an American Airlines plane as smoke billows and a fire simmers from underneath the aircraft. More than 170 passengers on an American Airlines flight from Denver to Miami were evacuated onto the runway on July 26 after the plane they were on had a 'landing gear incident' as it was about to take off. One person was taken to hospital for minor injuries. The plane was still on the runway and was about to take off when one of its tyres experienced a 'maintenance issue', according to American Airlines and Denver International Airport. Passengers said there was panic inside the plane, as they heard a loud bang and saw flames before they were instructed to evacuate. 'The plane started vibrating and shaking really bad,' Shay Armistead, 17, who was headed to Santiago, Chile, for a ski trip with her team, told CNN. 'We started tilting to the left side of the runway, and then we heard the sound of the wind from them lifting up the brakes of the plane and slamming on them really hard,' she recalled. Just a few seats down, Shay's teammate, 16-year-old Margaret Gustafson, had a clear view out of the window, and she saw flames coming out from under the plane. 'That's when I started fully panicking,' she said. Shay said: 'One passenger was screaming, 'We're all gonna die'. Another passenger was not sitting down and cooperating, and so it was kind of just a lot of panic.' The Denver Fire Department said the combination of blown tyres and the plane's deceleration during braking resulted in a fire. Videos posted online show passengers on board a Boeing 737 Max 8 sliding down an inflatable slide near the cockpit as heavy, dark smoke drifts from underneath the plane, and flames engulf a set of tyres. A few passengers are seen stumbling at the foot of the slide, and many are seen carrying their belongings. A man carrying a small child also slips on the tarmac as he slides out. The child can be heard crying, as the man asks the child, 'Are you okay?' Other passengers are seen evacuating via a slide at the rear of the plane. Mr Mark Tsurkis, who lives in Miami and Colorado Springs, told CBS News that he and the other passengers 'were lucky that we didn't get up in the air yet, so we weren't airborne yet'. The evacuation marked yet another troubling episode at Denver International Airport, the world's sixth-busiest aviation hub, where a series of recent incidents has raised concern about passenger safety. In March, dozens of passengers were forced to stand on the wing of an American Airlines plane as they evacuated the aircraft after one of its engines caught fire. Just weeks later, a United Airlines jet struck an animal during take-off, triggering a burst of flames.

Scheana Shay reveals husband Brock Davies cheated on her while she was pregnant
Scheana Shay revealed her husband, Brock Davies, cheated on her while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon. The 'Vanderpump Rules' star said Davies admitted to his affair around the time he was rumored to be sleeping with her former co-star Raquel Leviss in 2023, according to an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, 'My Good Side,' and obtained by Glamour. She explained that, after an 'amazing day' with her family, they sat down to watch the latest episode of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey,' before he asked her to 'put down the remote.' 'Brock said that with all of the fake news being published, he was afraid that something that actually was true might surface, and it was best that I heard it directly from him,' she wrote, referencing the rumors surrounding his friendship with Leviss. 'My whole body froze, and I remained in a state of paralyzed shock as he confessed that he'd cheated on me two years prior, when we were living in San Diego during the [COVID-19] pandemic, while I was pregnant with Summer. '… As I sat there, feeling completely sick to my stomach, he admitted that — at the time — he was scared about being a father again, specifically about whether he even deserved to be, and he chose to deal with it by sleeping with someone else. 'I use the word 'chose' because it was very much a conscious decision. No one twisted his arm or dragged him into bed.' Shay, 40, described feeling a 'deep fury bubbling inside of [her]' that she 'couldn't release,' saying that she avoided screaming to avoid waking up their daughter. 'Our daughter,' she said. 'His baby, whom I'd been carrying while he was in bed with another woman. I stood up and started pacing back and forth, fuming, and feeling like I might throw up.' However, the Bravolebrity lost control of her emotions and slapped Davies across the face before throwing a Rubik's cube at him, 'which he dodged.' According to Davies, the woman he cheated with was someone he had known before dating Shay and had recently reconnected with. Shay described not understanding how he cheated on her because he had shared his location with her. However, she found out that he had a second cell phone for his gym business, which became the main communication line between him and the other woman. That same night, Davies handed Shay a letter he had written in 2022 — a year before he confessed — where he revealed how many times he and the woman had slept together and the places they had intercourse. Davies, who has two children from a previous marriage, wrote the letter after 'he realized he was throwing his second chance at a family away by stepping out.' He also 'swore to himself that he would never betray [Shay] again.' 'Once I'd read it, that was more than enough,' Shay continued. 'I told him to immediately toss it into the fire. I never wanted to set eyes on those words again.' Before giving birth to Summer in April 2021, Shay experienced a miscarriage the prior year. The couple, who got engaged in 2021, secretly tied the knot in 2022 before hosting a larger celebration in Mexico the following year. 'My Good Side,' which also touches on Shay's affair with Eddie Cibriani while he was married to Brandi Glanville, is available for purchase on July 22. Solve the daily Crossword

Scheana Shay says husband Brock Davies' cheating was ‘karma' for Eddie Cibrian affair
Brock Davies cheated on Scheana Shay — and she'll be the first to admit that her husband's infidelity 'really felt like … karma.' The 'Vanderpump Rules' alum reflected on her own affair in 2006 with then-married Eddie Cibrian while discussing Davies' scandal with Us Weekly in an interview published Wednesday. 'Did I deserve [to be cheated on]?' Shay, 40, asked. 'No, but I told myself that I did.' The reality star noted that she has worn a 'scarlet letter for so long' and is regularly called a 'home-wrecking whore' online for her past relationship with Cibrian. Shay defended herself for being the actor's 'booty call' while he was married to Brandi Glanville, explaining, 'I was lied to by a 33-year-old man when I was 21, fresh out of college. I feel like people tend to forget that. 'Looking back, were there red flags? Absolutely,' she continued. 'I was leading with my heart and not my brain.' The Bravolebrity does, however, 'regret opening up to the media about' her time with the now-52-year-old 'Sunset Beach' alum, which she called an 'extremely immature and extremely irresponsible' choice. 'I wasn't thinking about his wife and toddlers at home,' she admitted. 'People like to say that I make everything about me — this was an instance where I was only thinking about myself.' Shay noted, 'Lo and behold, look what my husband did to me.' The 'Valley' star revealed last week in an excerpt of her upcoming memoir, 'My Good Side,' that Davies had an affair while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer, in 2021. The 35-year-old did not tell Shay about his betrayal until Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal went viral two years later — and Shay 'went back and forth' about including it in her book. 'It started as absolutely not,' she explained to Us Weekly. 'It was an eight-month conversation. After several therapy sessions and really talking about it, we decided that this book would be inauthentic if we didn't put it all in.' Shay clarified that she and Davies were 'both … a little bit' on the fence. Nevertheless, she decided, 'I'd rather it come out in my words because, unfortunately, there was another person involved in this situation, and at any point in time, she could come forward.' The woman, who has not been identified, was someone Davies knew previously and reconnected with at a F45 gym. Shay '100 percent without a doubt would have left' her partner over the indiscretion if they did not have a 4-year-old. Her forgiveness has taken therapy and 'work every single day,' with Shay deciding she 'can't let [Davies'] past define' him and make him 'wear that for the rest of his life.' She continued, 'I will forever have insecurities. Just the other day, I saw him swipe and delete a text, and I'm like, 'What was that?' … But I genuinely believe he would never do anything like that again.' The couple, who have been married since 2022, are now 'slowly taking steps' to expand their family via surrogacy. Solve the daily Crossword

Vanderpump Rules Star Scheana Shay Reflects on Ex Brock Davies' Affair, Reveals She Did Not Confide in Ariana Madix
The Vanderpump Rules fame Scheana Shay opened up about one of her heartbreak moments. The reality TV star, in her memoir, My Good Side, revealed why she could confide in her best friend, Ariana Madix, about her ex, Brock Davies, cheating on her. Shay claimed that the word almost slipped out of her mouth, but she covered it up. In an excerpt of her book, Shay stated that she did not want Madix to be concerned about her, as the latter was already dealing with the Scandoval. Scheana Shay's big revelation about Brock Davies' affair Shay's memoir, which will be released on July 22, has got all the details about her trauma after her ex, Davies, cheated on her. Ahead of the book launch, the reality TV star sat down for an interview with US Weekly and revealed how she almost told Madix about Brock's affair. 'It was on the tip of my tongue,' said Shay. She further added, 'I didn't want to trauma dump on her when she had her own trauma.' Scheana was referring to Madix dealing with Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal, where he slept with his fellow housemate, Rachel Leviss, while being in a nine-year relationship with the Love Island host. Further in her conversation with the media portal, the reality TV star shared, '[People like] to say I always make everything about myself. This is a prime example of how I actually don't do that, because I cared more about her well-being and her mental health than my own, as much as I wanted her to be able to be there for me.' Moreover, Shay claimed that at the time she did not even know what the future held for her and Davies, considering they share a daughter together. She explained, 'I felt like if I told friends or [even] my mom, that they may persuade me to leave because 'once a cheater, always a cheater.' I didn't want to do what others would tell me to do. I wanted to really figure that out for myself and for Summer.' Meanwhile, Scheana Shay claimed that she hoped for a conversation with Ariana Madix, which never happened on the show, to happen off camera.
