Flight Attendants Share The One Thing Passengers Do Wrong

August 18, 2025 5:50 pm

On a crowded flight, the smallest spaces often carry the greatest potential for chaos. Ask any flight attendant, and they will tell you: the airplane lavatory, no bigger than a broom closet, can quickly become the scene of disproportionate confusion — and it often begins with a simple oversight.

The culprit, according to several cabin crew members who spoke candidly, is surprisingly mundane: passengers forget to lock the door. Sometimes they step inside without sliding the latch. Other times, they finish up and walk out, leaving the door ajar as if the space were still in use. Either way, the …

Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aati reaffirmed his country’s commitment to mediating a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, stressing that Cairo would continue its diplomatic engagement with both Qatar and the United States.

Speaking on Monday during a joint press conference with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa at the Rafah border crossing, Abdel Aati criticized what he described as Israel’s deliberate campaign to starve Gaza’s residents.

“The Israeli occupation is working to change the reality in the Gaza Strip by pushing the population southwards,” Abdel Aati told reporters. He emphasized Egypt’s rejection of all attempts to displace Palestinians from their …

Half A Million Medical Records Stolen In Netherlands Hack

August 18, 2025 2:05 pm

Hundreds of thousands of Dutch citizens have had their most sensitive personal information compromised after a cyberattack on Clinical Diagnostics, a medical laboratory in Rijswijk, Dutch media reported Monday. The hackers, identifying themselves as the group Nova, are threatening to release the stolen data unless their demands are met.

According to RTL Nieuws, Nova had previously received payment from the laboratory to prevent the disclosure of an earlier data theft. The group now claims the company “violated agreements,” potentially by involving law enforcement, and has issued a new ultimatum. A countdown clock posted on the dark web gives the company …

10,000 Air Canada Flight Attendants’ Strike Ruled Illegal

August 18, 2025 1:41 pm

Canada’s largest airline found itself at the center of growing summer travel chaos on Monday as the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) declared the strike by 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants illegal and ordered them back to work. The move comes after the union ignored a previous directive to return and submit to government-directed arbitration.

The strike, now in its third day, has left roughly 130,000 travelers daily facing delays or cancellations during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. Air Canada, which operates approximately 700 flights a day, had initially planned to resume operations on Sunday, but …

Lamela Opens Up On The Struggles Leading To Retirement

August 18, 2025 10:35 am

For years, Erik Lamela’s name was synonymous with flair on the pitch — a creative spark for Tottenham, Sevilla, and Roma, capable of moments that could silence stadiums and lift teammates. Yet behind the applause, there was a quieter, more relentless story: pain.

“Being in pain, playing and training through discomfort became normal,” Lamela revealed, explaining the decision that has ended his professional career. For the past five years, he has battled injuries that never truly healed, navigating the thin line between perseverance and self-preservation. “I’ve been taking pills every game to be in better condition, starting with the lowest …

Temporary Standstill At Old Trafford: Onana Steps Aside

August 18, 2025 10:19 am

André Onana, Manchester United’s No. 1 goalkeeper, has adopted an almost uncommon stance in today’s football swirl: he’s not talking to any other club right now. Instead, he’s accepted manager Rúben Amorim’s decision, reset mentally, and committed himself fully to being in peak form before he returns between the sticks.

It’s a quiet resolution in a season marked by noise. After a series of high-profile defensive lapses—most visibly in the Europa League draw against Lyon—Amorim chose to bench Onana for a Premier League weekend tie, citing a need to let the goalkeeper “disconnect” and clear his head. This was not …

Rooney Recalls Fallout: Campbell Ignored Me For Months

August 18, 2025 9:55 am

The rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal in the early 2000s was more than football; it was theatre, raw and combustible, a clash of two empires locked in a duel for supremacy.

Wayne Rooney had barely unpacked his bags at Old Trafford when he was thrown into the heart of it. It was October 2004, his 19th birthday, and United were hosting Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal — unbeaten in 49 league games, carrying themselves with the swagger of immortality.

The match was ill-tempered even before it began. United, marshaled by Sir Alex Ferguson, were determined to stop the record run. Arsenal, …

Modrić Makes San Siro Debut As AC Milan Player

August 18, 2025 9:40 am

Luka Modrić’s career has been full of iconic moments, but his first appearance at San Siro as an AC Milan player stands out as one of the most emotional. The Croatian legend, who had long been associated with Real Madrid and is regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time, finally fulfilled a childhood dream by wearing the Rossoneri colors in the iconic Italian stadium.

For Modrić, Milan was never just another club. Growing up in Croatia, he admired the dominant Milan sides of the late 1980s and 1990s — teams that featured legends such as Paolo …
