A viral TikTok video shows a little girl on a 14 hour Qatar Airlines flight stabbing a random passenger with a metal fork while her mother is sound asleep. The video in question caused a stir on the social media with people taking sides, especially after the passenger reacted in what many would dub an “unorthodox” way.

The little girl, wearing a cute pink dress, could be seen standing in the aisle of the plane, holding a fork, while a female passenger tried to get the flight attendant’s attention about the situation.

“She’s over her stabbing people with forks,” the woman yells while her sister films the entire thing.

“She just randomly stabbed me with a fork,” the woman adds while holding her sandal in the air. “I’m going to f**k her up. I don’t know whose kid that is. I’d get her. I’m going to smack the s**t out of her.”

@donnitta_renee Replying to @D WHEN WE FINALLY GOT ATTENTION, They took the fork! My sister has no chill lmao #qatarairways #donnittarenee #flightkids ♬ original sound – Donnitta_Renee

In another clip, the woman’s sister, who posted the video of the incident on TikTok, revealed that when the girl’s mom woke up, she did nothing about her daughter’s behavior. What’s more, the mom allegedly tried to defend her daughter, saying that she probably just wanted to hand the fork to the woman, not stab her.

According to the second clip, before the fork incident, the girl was “terrorizing” another customer by messing with her TV remote, forcing the passenger to switch seats.

“Girl definitely came over there and stabbed my sister,” the woman who posted the video recounted. “I don’t know what to say. It was in between, do we jump her or do we beat the mama up?

“She was terrorizing us for almost seven hours on the plane,” the woman claimed. “… We never heard anything from the mom as far as sorry, thank you, anything like that towards us, towards the flight attendant… This 4-year-old is a menace.”

The initial TikTok video has been seen over 23 million times and has gathered a lot of comments.

“I’m the biggest HATER of other people’s kids. Please keep them away from me,” one person commented. “Who’s just letting their kid roam on a plane?” said another, while a third person added: “They definitely need to have kid-free planes.”

Washington’s new lead prosecutor wastes no time, secures major convictions

Washington’s new lead prosecutor Jeanine Pirro is making headlines for all the right reasons. Two months into her new role, Pirro started restoring order in D.C. by making major arrests targeting gangs, offenders, and drug traffickers.

On Tuesday, Pirro announced that Jamiek “Onion” Bassil, 32, and Charles “Cheese” Manson, 34, were sentenced to over 130 months each in prison. The two have been charged with drug trafficking conspiracy that distributed fentanyl, crack cocaine and other drugs in Northeast D.C. They also faced charges related to the 2024 shooting in Northeast D.C.

Jeanine Pirro/ Wikipedia

According to Pirro, Bassil and Manson were members of the “21st and Vietnam” gang that ran a street-level drug business on Maryland Avenue NE. They sold illegal substances all over Washington D.C.

Manson was also involved in the shooting in Northeast D.C. on March 7, 2024. At the time of the incident, he wore a ski mask and opened fire on a passerby walking their dog. Luckily, no injuries were reported.

Police arrested him eight days later and found a loaded Glock 17, over 50 grams of fentanyl-type drugs, cocaine, and drug tools at his home.

Bassil admitted selling 80 grams of fentanyl to undercover agents.

“This is just the beginning,” said a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “Criminal networks operating in the District should expect intense scrutiny and swift prosecution under Jeanine Pirro’s leadership.”

Another major case by Pirro and her team is the conviction of Taylor Taranto, 39. He livestreamed violent threats and admitted to crafting a “detonator” as he drove a weapon-filled van toward the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Maryland.

“On June 28, 2023, Taranto streamed a live video of himself while driving his van near National Harbor, Maryland. He told the crowd that he had been ‘working on a detonator’ and that he was going to drive a car bomb into the National Institute of Standards and Technology.”

He was found guilty on all charges.

What drying laundry indoors does to your lungs

By

When it’s raining outside and the weather is cold, you may feel tempted to dry your clothes indoors. This is a actually something a lot of people do. In order to dry their clothes faster, they often use drying racks or drape them over warm radiators, unaware of the health risks this habit may cause.

According to research, drying clothes indoors during winter time may increase humidity inside your home by as much as 30%.

This, as a result, leads to perfect conditions for mould growth – especially aspergillus fumigatus, which may cause a life-threatening lung infection.

“Moist environments encourage the growth of mould which can release ‘seeds’ called spores,” says Pheena Kenny, of the Asthma Society of Ireland. “For some people with asthma who are sensitive to dust and mould spores, it can act as a trigger, causing asthma to get worse.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail, professor David Denning from the National Aspergillosis Centre in Manchester noted, “Most people have immune systems strong enough to handle exposure to [aspergillus fumigatus].

“But for individuals with asthma, it can cause increased coughing and breathing difficulties. And for those with compromised immunity, such as cancer patients on chemotherapy, individuals with autoimmune disorders, or people living with HIV/AIDS — the fungus can lead to a serious condition called pulmonary aspergillosis, which can cause permanent or even life-threatening lung and sinus damage.”

To better understand aspergillosis, NHS explains it is a condition caused by aspergillus mould that affects the lungs and causes difficulties breathing. Further, it causes sneezing, severe coughing, fever, and even coughing up blood. Its treatment requires antifungal medications. Severe cases include chest pain and weight loss.

It is not contagious and rarely affects healthy people, only those with compromised immune system.

Craig Mather, a 43-year-old father of three from Bolton, was diagnosed with a lung infection, which he believes he contracted from drying clothes indoors during the winter.

He already suffered from asthma and even had tuberculosis in the past.

“I started feeling better after my doctor diagnosed chronic pulmonary aspergillosis and prescribed antifungal treatments,” he explained.

“But I noticed my symptoms worsened whenever I dried laundry in the bedroom.”

When he stopped drying clothes indoors after a doctor advised him not to, his condition improved within a year.

Professor Denning says that if you must dry your clothes inside, make sure to keep windows open when the weather allows to let moisture escape, or use a dehumidifier to reduce indoor humidity levels.

Prince William knew Meghan had ‘no intention’ of staying royal, expert claims

By

The initial meeting between Prince William and Meghan Markle was said to be promising, with the two “clicking” right away.

William was very fond of her, although she believed at the time that the relationship between the two would be “trying” from the off, according to Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, authors of the Pro-Sussex biography Finding Freedom.

“She was self-aware enough to understand that the brothers were wary of women who were more interested in their titles than their wellbeing,” Scobie and Durand wrote in the book. “And she couldn’t have come from a more different world than that of William, his wife, and most of their friends.”

The first-ever encounter between William and Meghan was quite pleasant for both of them.

William was reported to have said to his brother’s girlfriend: “I was looking forward to meeting the girl who has put that silly grin on my brother’s face.”

However, despite the initial connection, William believed Harry was rushing things with Meghan and advised him to take it slow, which Harry didn’t like.

“William soon began to wonder about some of Meghan’s traits and motivations,” a source told the Daily Mail, as revealed by the Express.

“He was worried that at times she seemed to be more concerned about her personal progression or profile over the wider goals and aims of the Royal Family.

The future king was said to have told his brother, “Don’t feel you need to rush this,” and “Take as much time as you need to get to know this girl.” Allegedly, Harry got upset by the phrase “this girl.” However, all William wanted was “to make sure that Harry wasn’t blindsided by lust,” Omid Scobie wrote.

Eventually, William decided not to interfere. It was because he could see Meghan was trying to do adjustments in order to fit in the family.

Today, the relationship between William and Meghan is an entirely different story. Since she and Harry stepped down from their royal duties and left Britain behind, the relationship between the brothers turned into a rocky one. What added fuel to the fire were the numerous interviews both Harry and Meghan gave in which they accused the royals of a number of things, which obviously, the Palace didn’t like.

Royal biographer and commentator Phil Dampier told The Sun that William could sense Meghan’s plan of marrying into the royal family.

“I think, unfortunately, that confirms what I’ve been saying or thought for the last few years that, sadly, Meghan never really had any intention of staying in the royal family,” Dampier told the Sun, in reference to what Queen Elizabeth’s confidante, Lady Elizabeth Anson, said of William’s concerns about Meghan marrying his brother. “She saw as a stepping stone getting married to Harry to new fame and fortune. And I think that’s what initially Prince William was concerned about.

“That’s why they fell out. And now we are where we are. But to have this confirmed by somebody so close to the queen is really dynamite,” he added, claiming that the information he received had come “right from the horse’s mouth,” and was “very, very telling.”

London Southend Airport remains closed until further notice following a devastating plane crash that took place on Sunday, its chief executive Jude Winstanley said during a press conference.

It was shortly before 16:00 BST when the Essex Police was alerted to a 12-metre plane on fire at the site in the north of Southend-on-Sea, with the Dutch company Zeusch Aviation confirmed their SUZ1 flight being “involved in an accident.”

“We can confirm that Zeusch Aviation flight SUZ1 was involved in an accident today at London Southend Airport,” their statement read.  “We are actively supporting the authorities with the investigation and will provide updates on this page as more information becomes available.  Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.”

Essex Police

According to reports, the plane departed Athens, the capital of Greece, and flew to Pula, Croatia, then to Southend. It was intended to return to Lelystad that evening.

John Johnson from Billericay, Essex, witnessed the plane crashing “head first into the ground” and turning into a “huge fireball.”

UKNIP

“You could see [the pilots] smiling and we all kind of smiled back. The aircraft then turned 180 degrees to face its take-off point, powered up its engines and powered past us, carrying on down the runway,” he told the BBC.

“It took off in probably three or four seconds. It started to bank heavily to its left.

“I said to my wife, ‘That’s unusual.’ We don’t find aircraft normally turning at that stage in their ascent.

“Within a few seconds of that, the aircraft almost inverted and hit the ground. There was a huge fireball.”

Fire crews from Southend, Rayleigh Weir and Basildon, along with off road vehicles from Billericay and Chelmsford arrived at the scene in no time.

A spokesperson for the East of England Ambulance Service said: “Four ambulances, a rapid response vehicle, four Hazardous Area Response Team vehicles, three senior paramedic cars and Essex and Herts Air Ambulance were sent to Southend Airport responding to reports of an incident involving an airplane.”

Unfortunately, all four of the people who were on board lost their lives. Chief Superintendent Morgan Cronin said they believe the deceased were foreign nationals. Their identities haven’t been revealed yet.

The investigation regarding the reasons that led to the plane crashing is ongoing.

Eat cloves every day, but avoid this common mistake!

By
Monica Pop
-

Cloves are a versatile spice with a peculiar flavor used in the kitchen, especially in the Indian cuisine, and as a medicine. Among the rest, cloves are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, which makes them extremely healthy if included in your diet, but not excessively.

They are the lower buds of the clove tree, an evergreen also known as Syzygium aromaticum.

Cloves can be found in a variety of dishes, from sabzis and dals to even desserts, adding a spicy flavour and an aroma that elevates the dish to the next level.

Nowadays, they are mostly grown in India and Madagascar but are used in countries all around the world.

Besides being used as a spice, cloves are the source of clove oil, a concentrated essential oil high in volatile compounds and antioxidants.

When it comes to the health benefits this spice provides, they are many. From supporting the immune function, fighting infections, helping stabilize blood sugar levels, providing pain relief, and promoting digestive health to relieving itchy skin and fighting obesity, cloves are a powerhouse of healing properties.

However, overusing them can provide more harm than good, so make sure you avoid the common mistakes people make with cloves.

Storing Cloves Improperly

When exposed to heat, moisture, or light, cloves lose their properties. That is why it is crucial to store them the right way in order to keep their qualities. With that said, they should be stored in airtight dark glass or ceramic containers, kept in a cool, dry place like a pantry.

    Overusing them

    While cloves offer numerous health benefits, consuming too much can backfire. One or two cloves daily is a reasonable amount. Everything above that number may upset your stomach and stress your liver due to excess eugenol. A with any other food out there, moderation is key.

    Combining Cloves with Diabetes Medication

    Because they help reduce the levels of sugar in the blood, combining them with medications such as insulin or metformin — which serve the same purpose — may lower your blood sugar too much. This can lead to dizziness, weakness, and confussion.

    Replacing Dental Care with Clove Use

    Cloves can temporarily relief a toothache, but they don’t treat the underlying cause. Prolonged use without dental care may lead to complications so only use them as a temporary remedy.

    Misusing Clove Essential Oil

    Clove oil is super strong, with one drop being equal to a dozen of whole cloves. If applied directly to the skin or the gums, it may cause burns. Instead, you should mix it with a carrier oil and use it in small amounts. It is intended for aromatherapy or diluted topical application only, never for consumption.

    They made fun of my grandpa’s inheritance — until they realized what it really was

    By
    Monica Pop
    -

    When my grandfather passed away, all my cousins seemed to care about was the will he left behind. All seven of them were eager to learn how much money they inherited while I was the only one who truly grieved his loss.

    The truth was that my grandpa and I were very close. Our bond was unbreakable, unlike the one he had with my cousins who barely visited.

    My grandpa’s will revealed that each of his grandchildren, except for me, received a $200,000 inheritance.

    When it came to me, I was left with the old farmhouse, a place so old it barely stood the test of time.

    Unsurprisingly, my cousins erupted in laughter. “Oh, dear,” my cousin Maria said, “I guess you weren’t grandpa’s favorite grandchild after all.”

    Pexels

    They called the old farmhouse “bricks and racoons,” but it was my grandpa’s most favorite place and I was delighted I was the one who got it.

    In the weeks that came, I moved in. I cleaned every corner of every room, and eventually, I got to the basement.

    There, I noticed a loose panel in the wall. Behind it was a hidden room with an old filing cabinet marked “Private.”

    When I opened that drawer, I was shocked. Inside were a bunch of patents for different innovations my grandpa worked on his entire life. Among the rest, there were notebooks with business plans and a key to a room where he kept his fabrics.

    Pexels

    Right there and then, I knew continuing his legacy was my call. It was something he would’ve wanted me to pursue, and I didn’t waste any time before I made the decision to start a fabric business.

    It was rough at first, but it eventually took off and turned into a very successful venture.

    As the business grew, so did my cousins’ envy.

    Pexels

    My grandpa’s inheritance didn’t seem funny to them any longer. On the contrary, almost all of them approached me to ask for loans and a bunch of other things. They believed that because the business was something our grandpa envisioned, they were entitled to it.

    Of course, I made sure they know it belonged exclusively to me. They all chased money while I inherited something way more valuable.

    Two children among dead as floodwaters ravage New Mexico Town

    The record-breaking flash flood that swept through a village in New Mexico on Tuesday claimed the lives of three people — two children and a man in his fifties.

    According the officials, the three were “swept downstream by the unprecedented floodwaters that struck” Village of Ruidoso.

    “The biggest catastrophe of all are the lives that we lost,” said Mayor Lynn Crawford.

    The children, who lost their lives after their entire house was wiped off the map, were identified as Sebastian Trotter, 7, and his sister Charlotte Trotter, 4. Their father, a US soldier based at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, and their mother have both been injured in the floods and are currently treated in a hospital in Texas, according to the late children’s aunt Tiffanie Wyatt, People reported.

    Speaking of her niece and nephew, Wyatt said they were always “full of life and always laughing,” and had different aspirations.

    “Sebastian was an avid Pokémon card collector, loved to play sports, but was a huge soccer fanatic. He wanted to be a professional soccer player when he got older,” she said. “Charlotte loved to be the center of attention. She loved to sing, dance, and make jokes. She also loved to give people makeovers with her play makeup.”

    The man who was also swept by the raising water hasn’t been identified yet.

    “Our hearts are broken for the families who have lost their loved ones in this terrible tragedy,” Mayor Lynn Crawford said in a statement.

    “The entire Village of Ruidoso extends our deepest sympathy and compassion to these grieving families during this unimaginably difficult time. We are united in our sorrow and our commitment to supporting one another as we face this devastating loss together.”

    According to the National Weather Service, heavy downpour caused the water level of Rio Ruidoso to rise from less than three feet to a crest of 20.24 feet in under an hour.

    The area has become prone to floods following the 2024 wildfires that destroyed around 1,400 structures and forced residents to flee.

    Danielle Silva of the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said that emergency teams have conducted at least 85 swift water rescues in the area, helping people strained in their homes and their vehicles.

    This tragedy comes after the devastating Texas floods that claimed the lives of over 107 people while more than 160 are still missing.
