Boeing 737 mysteriously spotted in random field and no one knows how it got there

Bali, a province of Indonesia and the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands, is without a doubt one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. It represents a magical blend of cultures, people, nature, activities, weather, culinary delights, nightlife, and a lot more. The fun and sun seekers describe it as the paradise on Earth, and we have to agree with them.

Despite all its natural beauties, there is something else that serves as a tourist attraction in Bali. Believe it or not, it is an abandoned Boeing 737 which simply appeared beside the Raya Nusa Dua Selatan Highway, resting in a limestone quarry. The truth is that no one really knows how the Boeing ended up there, and locals have different stories to tell about it.

Some believe that the plane was brought up in parts and later put together in the deserted location by an entrepreneur who wanted to turn it into a restaurant but then let go of the idea.

However, this isn’t the only abandoned Boeing in the area. Another one lies beside a Dunkin’ Donuts location and just like the first one, this one is a tourist attraction as well.

As this second one is quite easy to locate, the first one is surrounded by a bunch of ship containers and you need a guide to take you to it.

The plane has no branding on it and another legend attached to it says that it used to serve as someone’s home. It landed on the island in 2007 but only started serving as a tourist attraction 11 years later.

In 2021, the residents of Bali noticed yet another jet which is placed on the top of a cliff at the Nyang-Nyang beach.

For this one, it is knows that it belongs to a Russian guy named Felix Demin, who landed the plane there to attract tourists and awake their curiosity. He hopes the place would become a popular spot for photographers and plans to convert it into tourist accommodation.

However, no matter how good Demin’s idea might sound to some, others believe the plane placed atop the cliff could ruin the sea view.

For more on these abandoned planes check out the video below.

In case you visit Bali and you want to see the Boeing 737 and the rest of the abandoned planes, Tony Dunnell, spokesperson for Atlas Obscura, has a few tips and tricks to share. “The view of the plane is obstructed from the highway, so you need to keep your eyes open, or you could easily miss it. When you come across a wall of sea containers on the side of the road, you have arrived. You can see the plane by climbing up onto the containers that surround it. Or, for a better view, head slightly further down the road where you’ll find a path that leads up above the plane. You’ll have to pay a small fee to enter, as the plane is on private property,” he said.

After Anne Heche’s death details preceding the tragic car crash surface

Actress Anne Heche was switched off life support days after she was pronounced brain death following the accident she suffered on Friday, August 5. She was driving her blue Mini Cooper when she crashed into a home in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Heche’s crash caused a huge fire which took 59 firefighters around 60 minutes to put under control. She remained in coma the entire time before her family made the decision to “peacefully” take her off life support.

As she had always been a supporter of organ donation, the family waited for a suitable donor recipient to be found before they said the final goodbye.

Shortly after she was taken to the hospital following the tragic accident, Heche’s blood was tested and the results showed presence of narcotics in her bloodstream. However, it would take weeks before further analysis help determine what types of drugs it is and to rule out any substances that were administered to her in the hospital. At the time, LAPD Officer Jeff Lee spoke of Heche’s case and explained that “her blood showed signs of impairment and that is why it is now being investigated as a felony traffic collision.”

However, now that she died, there will be no further investigative efforts made in this case, as reported by LAPD.

“Any information or records that have been requested prior to this turn of events will still be collected as they arrive as a matter of formalities and included in the overall case,” they said.

“When a person suspected of a crime expires [dies], we do not present for filing consideration.”

Preceding the accident which cost her her life, Heche appeared in a since-deleted episode of her podcast Better Together, which she co-hosts with Heather Duffy, in which she claimed to have been drinking vodka “with wine chasers” after being “rocked” by a “very bad day,” as reported by ET.

Since the episode aired on Friday, mere hours before the car crash, many believed it was Heche’s drinking and her bad day that had to do with the tragedy. The producer of the podcast, however, claimed that the episode was filmed earlier that week.

As reported by TMZ, Heche’s fatal crash was her third for the evening. According to the site, she first crashed into the garage of an apartment complex and when some of the residents tried to take her out of the vehicle, she went reverse and sped off. A video shows that she nearly crashed into a woman who was walking on the sidewalk while speeding down an alley. Heche’s car didn’t seem to slow down nor the actress made an attempt to swerve in an effort to avoid hitting the woman, who was left in a state of shock.

The third and final crash was when Heche’s Mini Cooper made an impact with the house.

We are very sorry for the loss of such an incredible actress. May she rest in peace.

Boy, 8, coughs for FIVE years before doctors find toy logged in his throat

By

An 8-year-old boy named Marley Enjakovic has spent five long years struggling to breath properly. His parents took him to a bunch of doctors who ran a bunch of tests, and all they could say was that this boy suffered from allergies and even astma, thus he was given medications for those conditions.

Sadly, his breathing didn’t improve. On the contrary, he kept coughing without stopping and couldn’t do any sports because of that.

As his symptoms only worsened in the period of five years, since he first started experiencing them, he was one day urgently admitted to the ICU. It was then that doctors discovered what was causing the coughing. Apparently, Marley swallowed a plastic toy, a tiny flower, that got stuck in his throat and stayed there for five long years. He was operated on and doctors managed to take the arts-and-crafts plastic flower out.

The boy’s mother, Skye, said her son had started to have coughing fits while he ate but as time went on he coughed ‘for hours upon hours’ and ‘it was getting scary.’

When they finally learned what caused Marley’s severe breathing problems, his family was shocked but relieved at the same time.

“I was absolutely shocked. but also really relieved, to be honest, because out of all these years I finally had an answer,” mom Skye said.

“My main concern at that point in time was that he was actually born with that condition.”

“Because if he was born with it, he would have had other issues. To know it was caused by a foreign body, it was a slight bit of relief for me.

“My message to other parents is that if you feel like there is something wrong, just keep pushing for it. 

“I am so glad I did because it means I have him today.”

We are so happy everything turned out for the best for this sweet boy and he can finally live his life to the fullest.

Woman gets $2,500 fine for bringing half-eaten sandwich from Singapore to Australia – ‘I didn’t think I’d done anything wrong’

How much money are you willing to pay for a sandwich? We all know all too well that this fast-food speciality is many people’s favorite, and that includes a woman named Jessica Lee from Australia. Little did this woman know, however, that her half-eaten Subway sandwich would cost her $2,534.

If you wonder how this is even possible, stay with us and hear this woman’s story.

As it turns out, Lee was taking a flight from Singapore to Australia when she felt like having something to eat. So, she got herself a sandwich while transiting through Changi Airport. She ate half of it and decided to keep the other half in case she got hungry again. What happened next is crazy, to say the least.

Exhausted and eager to get back home, she totally forgot about her sandwich. So, the moment she landed in Australia, she was given a A$2,664 (S$2,534) fine because according to the Australian Border Force, food items brought into Australia have to be declared on one’s incoming passenger card and they might also be inspected by biosecurity officers.

Passengers who fail to declare or make false declaration may face a fine of up to A$2,664 for breaching the Biosecurity Act, a spokesperson for the the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry in Australia told News.com.au and added that “All meat products and vegetables must be declared on the Incoming Passenger Card,” calling it a legal declaration.

The spokesperson explained that passenger are reminded of this by the messages printed all over the airports.

Lee, however, said she didn’t feel like she did anything wrong.

Apparently, the problem with Lee’s half-eaten sandwich was that it contained lettuce, which is fresh produce.

Once she shared a video in which she spoke of the incident on TikTok, it vent viral and many believed she didn’t deserve to be fined. Lee on the other hand admitted that it was an oversight on her part and said, “I am very aware this is my mistake and I do take ownership, I am paying the fine. Just an emotional video.” 

As the story went viral, it reached to Subway Australia after someone tagged them in the comments and just days latter, the company “worked magic” and sent Lee a package containing a A$2,664 (S$2,534) gift card, along with some Subway merchandise.

“We hope this covers your chicken and lettuce needs,” the company wrote.

‘Jesse’ from ‘Free Willy’ is now 42 years old and still works as an actor

By

Free Willy became a high-grossing film widely loved by the audience, and the reasons for that were plenty. This masterpiece, which turned into a classic, taught us all about love, friendship, and the underwater world. At the same time, it raised awareness of wild animals held in captivity, thus melted the hearts of millions of people worldwide. The film grew into a franchise, with a television series and two sequels.

The role of the orphaned boy, Jesse, who befriended the orca was played by child actor Jason James Richter.

This young boy turned into a star almost overnight and received plenty of awards, including the Young Artist Award for Best Leading Young Actor in a Feature Film.

Speaking of the enormous success and the celeb status he earned, Richter told IconvsIcon in 2018, ”I had no clue. It was my first film and I never had any idea of if it would be a success or not. It was amazing to make! Like I said, it was my first film and when you are a kid, you don’t see any of the ugly stuff that happens on set and it’s a positive experience. Everybody who worked on that movie was great and I have totally fond memories of them.”

With his mom being an actress herself, it was natural for Richter to follow into her footsteps. He was never forced into anything, acting was simply something he loved and dreamed of ever since he was just a child. “I’ve been watching these people do this. I know all these words, so I could do that too!” he recalled telling his mom one day.

When he auditioned for the role of Jesse, there were around 4000 children his age who wanted it as well. But Richter was something special. Producer Lauren Shuler-Donner, who cast the unknown Richter, said in 1995, “He’s a young Steve McQueen.”

Meeting Keiko, the orca which played Willy, for the first time was something Richter could never forget. “You don’t see the danger. At 11 years old, you’re just like, ‘Oh my God, a whale! That’s amazing! This will be awesome!’ Had I been 17, I might have been like, ‘Hey, this thing is going to bite my hand off,’ but when you’re 11 you’re just like, ‘Oh, wow. Cool. Let me touch it,’” Richter told Daily Beast in 2013.

Once the movie was released, millions of people donated to the Save the Whales Foundation, whose number was shown on the credits list, and $20 million were raised.

Richter, who became a teen star, moved on to other projects, including guest appearances on “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,” “Rugrats” and “The Client.”

However, after appearing in Free Willy 3: The Rescue, he decided to leave Hollywood because he felt that he needed a break. He was 18 at the time.

Richter turned to music and performed with various bands before joining Fermata as a bassist.

However, as years went by, he felt nostalgic about acting and guest-starred on “Bones” and ”Criminal Minds.”

In 2013, Richter had his directorial debut with the short film “The Quiet Loud.” He loves working behind the cameras as much as he wants to be in front of it.

In 2017, the actor landed a role in “Last Rampage,” an American crime drama film. Most recently, he starred in “The Little Things,” and “Last Call.”

Richter, who is now 42 years old, runs a podcast together with Dustin Burford, “The Richter Scale,” where they discuss ”random crap from around the world.” He has a net worth of $500,000.

Reaching stardom as such a young age isn’t always easy, but Richer did know how to handle his fame and is still doing what he loves, and that’s being part of the film industry.

Nobody recognizes her now – After her son’s passing terrible days followed for the great actress

By
Monica Pop
-

Building a career in the world of film and reaching stardom didn’t come easy for actress Linda Gray, who portrayed the legendary role of Sue Ellen Ewing in the hit show Dallas.

In fact, this woman’s life has been filled with both excitement and a number of obstacles, as well as a personal tragedy that changed her forever.

Source: Youtube/Topcelebs

Raised in Culver City, California, Linda was given the chance to spend a bunch of time around the filming studios and it was something she loved. At the same time, she imagined herself working at those places and that’s how she knew she wanted to become an actress.

Linda’s father was a cold person, but he always supported her dreams. Her mother on the other hand was a heavy alcoholic who was under the influence most of the time.

Not surprisingly, Linda didn’t have it easy growing up around her mom.

After starring in commercials and landing minor roles, Linda finally got her big breakthrough with the classic TV series Dallas. She appeared in total of 308 episodes and played alongside Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy.

Linda, who is a recipient of two Golden Globe Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award, went through a personal tragedy in 2020 when she lost her son Jeff Thrasher, who followed into her footsteps and opted for a career in the film industry where he worked as a director and producer. His most recent project was The Junior Chef Showdown, a Canadian reality cooking competition television series, which premiered in 2020 on Food Network Canada.

Among the rest, Jeff worked on the production of the shows The Amazing Race Canada and Canada’s Smartest Person. He directed Furze World Wonders in 2017.

Linda had a hard time coping with the loss. Shortly after his passing, she posted a tribute on the social media, writing, “A celebration of my son Jeff’s life. He was the kindest, funniest, sweetest human being….. he brought the world such love and was loved by everyone! May his journey be a magical one.”

Ever since Jeff’s passing, she wasn’t seen in the public often. Recently, however, she was spotted walking a cart with her glasses on and a visibly aged face. It is obvious that the tragedy took its toll when it comes to how she feels and looks like.

Linda, who will be 82 this year, lives a quiet life in the Valencia suburbs of California, where she owns a farm.

We are so very sorry for Linda Gray’s loss.

The kindness we offer to others might feel insignificant to us, but to those who receive it, it can mean the world. What we should never forget is that every kind deed, no matter how big or small, always goes a long way.

Jeff Lous has quite a story to share. This 22-year-old man had a hard time staying away from drugs, but he eventually managed to turn his life around. He found a job and decided he no longer wanted to depend on his parents’ money.

On most days, Jeff starts working at around 12 p.m., but one particular day, he was asked to start work earlier. He was told that he was about to deliver an order to the Life Point Church. What confused him a bit was that he was asked to enter the church and personally deliver the pizza to the priest. Although he found the request strange, he agreed.

What Jeff didn’t know was that he was about to get a huge surprise from people he has never met.

In a touching video he shared on YouTube, Jeff could be heard saying that a wonderful thing happened to him. With tears of joy running down his cheeks, he explained how the members of the church lined up to tip him. He received $700. He simply couldn’t believe that complete strangers could step in for him in such manner.

Needless to say, his video has been seen by thousands of people who said that it was obvious his words of gratitude were genuine. He wasn’t afraid to show his happiness.

Being in the middle of a process of recovery from drug abuse, this gesture meant the world to this young man.

“I’ve been going through a hard time lately, trying to make a living. I’m amazed to see that people who don’t know me wanted to help me at all costs!” Jeff concluded.

Many people commented on the video because they felt the urge to send Jeff best wishes. “Hope you get clean and turn your life around man. Wishing you nothing but the very best,” one person wrote, while another added, “Stay clean my friend, join that church. God wants you there.”

Daycare teacher leaves a spiteful note in 5-year-old’s lunch box

By

Francesca Esdon is a loving and caring mom of a five-year-old boy named Kyler. She loves her boy to the moon and back and makes sure she reminds him of that every single day.

One day, before she left him at the Rocking Horse Daycare Center in Texas, she placed a note inside his lunch box which asked from the staff to remind Kyer that his mom is thinking about him and that she loves him.

Seeing the note, Kyler’s teacher decided to write a comment on it. But it wasn’t a nice one. On the contrary, the words she decided to put on Francesca’s note were disrespectful and hurtful, to say the least.

With a black thick ink, the teacher wrote: “No, put him on a diet and go away!” as an answer to Francesca’s message to her boy.

When she picked Kyler up from daycare and took a look at the note, Francesca was in disbelief. She couldn’t possibly understand how could a teacher write such a mean comment.

The following day, she asked to talk to the principal and explained how her feelings were hurt by the teacher’s message. Further, she alerted them of the teacher’s Facebook profile which contained references to drugs, alcohol, and other inappropriate content. 

Eventually, the teacher was fired, but Francesca didn’t receive an apology.

Speaking to ABC7 News, this mother explained how she didn’t feel like her son was safe at the daycare so she decided to send him to another one.
