25 injured by severe turbulence on Delta flight from Utah to Amsterdam
Twenty-five people were taken to hospital on Wednesday after a Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City, Utah to Amsterdam was diverted to Minneapolis due to severe turbulence, the airline said in a statement. Flight DL56 was diverted to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport after experiencing "significant turbulence," Delta said. The plane was carrying 275 passengers and 13 crew, the New York Times reported, citing the airline. The Delta statement said medical personnel evaluated everyone on board after the A330-900 had landed safely in Minneapolis. "Twenty-five of those on board were transported to local hospitals for evaluation and care," it said, without elaborating. The aircraft encountered turbulence shortly after reaching 37,000 feet (11,277.6 m), briefly climbing to about 38,000 feet before descending to just below 35,800 feet. It later stabilised at an altitude of 37,000 feet, according to flight-tracking service Flightradar24.

Flight forced to turn around as fuel got into the plane's food prep area
United Airlines flight UA949, bound for San Francisco from London Heathrow, was forced to return to its departure airport shortly after take-off. The Boeing 777, carrying 272 passengers and 13 crew, turned back due to "fumes" reported in the aircraft's food preparation area. The flight, which had reached as far as Milton Keynes, landed safely back at Heathrow and was met by three fire engines. Following the incident, the flight was ultimately cancelled, with the aircraft remaining at Heathrow for an expected departure on Thursday 31 July. This incident follows another recent United Airlines diversion on 25 July, where a flight from Washington Dulles to Munich returned due to a mechanical issue.

Brit tour guide, 24, dies while snorkelling on 50ft dive trip in front of horrified holidaymakers at beach in Indonesia
A BRIT tour guide has tragically died while snorkelling at a popular diving spot in Indonesia. The young backpacker, 24, was reportedly working as a diving instructor when she and another person plunged from a 50ft cliff. Members of the crew and other visitors rushed to the bottom to help the woman. As they reached the shore, they found that the woman was still breathing. But the Brit was tragically pronounced dead before reaching the nearby hospital. Cops said the woman was part of a tour group of 10 when the incident happened. A spokesman said: "At around 8:30 WITA, the group arrived at the first location, Gili Peteluan, for snorkelling. "Then, at around 09:15 WITA, they continued to the second spot, Semangko Sea at Pink Beach, for more snorkelling activities. "After they finished at the second location at around 11:15 WITA, one of her fellow snorkelling guides asked the guests to return to the boat for a lunch break. "The two guides then went diving again to a depth of about 10 to 15 metres. "When she was about to return to the surface of the sea, the victim's condition suddenly became unusual, so her friend guided her to the surface." The police spokesman said the boat captain immediately headed for the Telong-Elong Pier, where an ambulance was waiting to take the woman to the hospital. However, she tragically died less than an hour later. Authorities said they were interrogating the crew and tourists present at the scene. .
