Severe hailstorm and lightning forces plane to make an emergency landing in Denver, USA

A Delta flight from Boston to Salt Lake City arrived safely in Utah early Saturday morning after a storm forced the plane to be diverted to Denver Friday night.

 

“I fly constantly and this was the scariest 10 minutes of my life,” said passenger Robin Jones after arriving at the Salt Lake International Airport early Saturday morning. “I thought, ‘OK. Have I told everybody that I love that I love them?’ And as soon as I realized I had done that, I was like, ‘I’m alright. Everything’s going to be OK.’”

 

Delta flight 1889 made an emergency landing after getting caught in lightning, rain and hail. Photos sent in by viewers showed the aircraft’s windshield was shattered and the nose of the plane was heavily damaged.

 

One passenger described the damage of the plane.

 

“We went around the corner from the window, we could see the shattered windshield,” said passenger Rob Wessman. “We could see kind of a hole over the engine where lightning had struck. We could see the nose of the plane was missing. It was really intense.”

 

The plane landed safely in Denver just before 9 p.m. and arrived in Salt Lake City at about 12:45 a.m.

Landslide Sweeps Away Bus Killing At Least 3 In Nepal

At least three persons were killed today as a passenger bus was swept away by a landslide into a tiveer in western Nepal.

 

According to the police the incident occurred along the Butwal-Palpa road section of the Siddhartha Highway at Siddhababa in Palpa district.

 

The death toll may rise as the bus is completely submerged under the water.

 

Some passengers escaped the incident when they saw the land above the road falling and jumped off the bus.

 

The bus carrying at least two dozen passengers onboard was heading towards Butwal from Palpa district when the accident occurred.

 

The police said that some 15 passengers were rescued from the incident site.

 

Nepal Police, Armed Police Force and Nepal Army personnel were mobilised for carrying out rescue operation.

Lightning strike kills at least 7 in Heiban County, Nuba Mountains, Sudan

Lightning strikes killed at least seven people in the Nuba Mountains including five people in a single deadly incident on a farm about a week ago, according to local sources.

 

Muzamil Osman said his sister and two children from his relative were killed in the event plus two workers. The three women and two children were seeking shelter in a hut when the lightning struck.

 

He explained that his sister had gone with two workers to the farm located between Ajirbago and Jigeba village. After they had lunch the rain started and they ran into the hut in the farm. Two children aged 13 and 6 joined them in the hut who were coming from Ajirbago to visit their grandmother in Jigeba.

 

“So they all took cover in the same hut as it was raining the lighting struck the house killing five of them,” he said. An old woman also there was knocked unconscious and suffered burns but she survived.

 

Reportedly, three more people were also killed by lighting strikes in separate incidents early last month.
