Shocking video captured the moment a Delta Air Lines plane’s engine burst into flames shortly after takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport, forcing pilots to turn the plane around. The Boeing 767 was en route to Atlanta with 226 passengers and 9 crew members on Friday when the left engine malfunctioned mid-air, the airline said, according to KABC.

Once I entered plane, the first thing I do is to confess my sins and commit my soul unto the Lord's hands. The remaing time,depending on duration, sleep and watch latest films, especially on Emirates, watch live games and news. KLM and Air France, same, but Lufthansa, no comments.  45 Likes 1 Share |

This is what happens when a country starts prioritizing DEI optics over genuine merit and scientific excellence. It’s the same decay we saw in the Nigerian civil service, where “federal character” forced the selection of individuals based not on competence, but on state or regional quotas at the expense of quality. The rot creeps in quietly, then collapses all at once. From aircraft manufacturers to engineering teams, unqualified hires chosen to check identity boxes rather than meet technical standards are now bearing bitter fruit of their incompetence. USA is now witnessing the consequences, just like Nigeria have witnessed it for generations now. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

I once read somewhere it is called a "Flying Coffin" Once you enter and Aeroplane and that Exit Door is locked, just pray and hope. It is no longer in your hands. 3 Likes |
