Eleven seriously injured after flight chaos
today at 01.05 Johan Edgar
A Hawaiian Airlines flight ended up in severe turbulence on Sunday about half an hour before landing in Honolulu – which created chaos in the cabin.
Eleven people are said to have been seriously injured when the turbulence caused the passengers to be lifted from their seats.
A woman tells for the Hawaii News Now site that her mother flew up and hit the ceiling.
The plane, flight 35 from Phoenix, was able to land safely in Honolulu, where a large rescue mission was waiting to receive injured passengers.
278 passengers and ten cabin crew members were on board.
A total of 20 injured people were taken to the emergency room by ambulance.
An early theory is that the unexpected turbulence was created by a thunderstorm moving through the area.

Twitter’s new move – can’t link to competitors
Twitter bans users from linking to competing social media sites, the news agency reports AP.
The ban applies to giants such as Facebook and Instagram, but also other platforms such as Matodon, Tribel, Nostr, Post and Trump’s own platform Truth Social.
Users may also not encourage others to follow them on these social media sites.
But other platforms, such as Tiktok, Parler and Linkedin are doing well – why is unclear.
Anyone who breaks the rules risks having their account temporarily suspended.
Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk has received a lot of criticism since he took over the platform. Among other things, because previously suspended users were allowed to come back and several journalists had their accounts closed.

Military called in to replace strikers

Many strikes are going on in the UK now. The most noticed group has been the nurses, who demand salary increases of at least 17 percent.
In a high-profile interview in BBC Today, Emergency Services Minister Oliver Dowden called on unions to be “fair and reasonable” by calling off the strikes and giving people “a break this Christmas”.

Is it really a case if the police suspect attempted murder? Why suspect the woman instead of putting the weight and weight on what the police suspect: that a man pushed her to her death.
Redo do right… again…. ?
Angry!
See answer to the question below.
One person has been arrested and there are reports that the woman fell because she was pushed. It’s in the notice.
Fake news again? The woman was thrown from the balcony, she didn’t fall.. Distorting, keeping silent or lying as a journalist seems to be a code of honor at AB.. Ugh..
Eric T.
We still don’t know exactly what happened.
There are reports that she may have been pushed, and the police have arrested one person. It’s in the notice.
Whether it is so or not is not something we can confirm, the police investigation will have to show that.
All this misery. How are you coping?
