12-year-old dies after fatal allergic reaction to milkshake

Milkshake made in a dirty blender containing traces of nuts led to the tragic death of 12-year-old schoolgirl Mia-Shay St Hilaire, who suffered severe allergic reaction.

Her devastated parents say the tragedy could have been easily avoided had the London café followed safety regulations. This only added to their heartbreak.

As per BBC, Mia-Shay, who was allergic to tree nuts, visited the Pop Inn Café on Southwark Park Road, South-East London, and ordered milkshake. However, they prepared her order in the same blender they had previously made a drink containing almonds and hazelnuts.

Mia-Shay was rushed to the hospital where she sadly passed away.

The incident took place on August 30, 2023.

Southwark Council’s food safety team launched an investigation in order to determine the circumstances preceding Mia-Shay’s fatal allergic reaction. They concluded that the blender used wasn’t washed before making Mia’s milkshake. As a result, traces of the nuts remained in it and ended in Mia’s drink.

CCTV footage from the café showed the worker, Baris Yucel, 47, failing to clean the blender.

The failure to follow the safety regulations directly contributed to the severe allergic reaction and the young girl’s passing.

On December 2024, Yucel admitted six criminal charges relating to the young girl’s tragic passing. Some included failure to provide allergen information for customers, failure to prevent cross-contamination during food preparation and serving food containing an undisclosed allergen.

Croydon Magistrates’ Court fined him £18,000 and gave him a 100-hour community order.

Mia-Shay’s parents said, “We think of Mia every day and knowing her death could potentially have been prevented so simply, only adds to how heartbroken we are as a family.

“We hope this conviction and fine sends a loud message to businesses serving food and drinks across the country, of the devastating consequences of failing to take food safety seriously.”

Yucel’s lawyer said “a day does not go by when he does not think about the child and her family.”

We are so very sorry for this devastating loss.

Choir begins singing ‘Lone Ranger’ theme with backs to the crowd

By

If you believe a classical piece of music can’t have a touch of comedy added, then you’ve probably missed the masterpiece performance by the choir at Timpanogos High School.

These young people’s rendition of the classical The William Tell Overture, or widely known as the Lone Ranger, composed in the early 1800s by Gioachino Rossini, has long been talked about.

The memorable performance started with the members of the choir delivering the overture in perfect acappella before turning their backs to the crowd, with one of the singers facing the crowd, pretending she had forgotten the moves.

YouTube

This brought laughter from the audience, who were likely unaware of the show that was about to unfold before their eyes.

Just seconds later, the male members, dressed in formal attires, started their hilarious antics. They started galloping across the stage on imaginary horses and it wasn’t long before the girls joined them in and sent the audience into laughter.

YouTube

The carefully planned choreography, combined with humor and precision, shows that the choir perfectly rehearsed the show. It not only intended to entertain the audience but also to take the internet by storm.

As the finale of the performance approached, the members of the choir received a loud applause.

This is without a doubt one of the most unforgettable shows. It is definitely worth watching.

Inside the Harrowing Collision: How a Routine Flight Ended in Tragedy

By
Bryan Seal
-

I still can’t believe the American Airlines plane crash audio that’s been circulating—it’s downright chilling. One moment, everything seems business as usual, and the next, two aircraft collide in midair, sending pieces of wreckage into the frigid Potomac River. Hearing the distressed voices and shocked gasps made it all feel painfully real.

A Catastrophe at Reagan National

The nightmare unfolded near Reagan National Airport, forcing an immediate shutdown of all operations until at least 11 a.m. ET. Officials say the American Airlines commuter jet, Flight 5342, had 60 passengers and four crew on board. Meanwhile, a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter with three soldiers was on a routine training flight. By the time rescuers arrived, both were submerged in the freezing river. At the time of reporting, there were no confirmed survivors, and families clung to hope while the world watched in shock.

What the Recordings Reveal

Radio chatter picked up by air traffic control captures every tense moment, shedding light on how this disaster may have happened. First, you hear a controller ask the Black Hawk crew, “PAT 2-5, do you have the CRJ in sight?” and shortly after, “PAT 2-5, pass behind the CRJ.” Moments later, the helicopter pilot radios back, requesting “visual separation.” Then comes the unmistakable gasp—caught forever on tape—hinting at the exact moment of impact. It’s the kind of split-second chaos the American Airlines plane crash audio brings to life, and it’s frightening to imagine.

Aftermath and Disbelief

Following the collision, another pilot confirmed he saw flares around the Potomac. An approach controller added, “Both aircraft are in the river, a search and rescue is underway.” Hearing that still gives me goosebumps. Reagan National essentially froze, with flights diverted and passengers left in limbo. American Airlines set up a center inside the airport for loved ones of those on Flight 5342, offering what little comfort they could muster. Meanwhile, first responders battled icy waters in a desperate attempt to recover victims.

Frustration from the Top

Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform, venting frustrations over how this could have happened on a clear night with the plane’s lights in full blaze. He questioned why the helicopter didn’t adjust altitude or alter its path, and criticized air traffic control for “asking if they saw the plane” instead of giving explicit instructions. The president’s words captured the sentiment of many: How could a routine flight path end in such a tragedy? It’s a question that may take investigators months to answer, if ever.

The Bigger Picture

Shocking as it is, this crash is just one in a string of aviation disasters in recent memory. A helicopter collided with a radio tower in Houston back in October 2024, reminding us how quickly things can go wrong in the skies. The American Airlines plane crash audio underscores how even small moments of confusion or miscommunication can have devastating outcomes. Investigators will no doubt scrutinize these tapes frame by frame, second by second, to uncover the exact series of events that led to this heartbreak.

Why It Matters

For me, the haunting air traffic recordings serve as a stark reminder that no amount of technology or training can entirely eliminate human error. If there’s any consolation, it’s that these tapes will help aviation experts learn valuable lessons to prevent similar tragedies. Still, that’s small comfort for the families left reeling—and for everyone who heard that gasp echo across the control tower frequency.

Hamaad Raza, the man whose wife was on board American Airlines Flight 5342 when it collided with a US military helicopter, shared the last text she had sent to him.

The plane was flying from Wichita, Kansas to Washington DC. and crashed at around 9 p.m. on Wednesday night.

In a heartbreaking interview with WUSA9, Raza revealed his wife texted him, “Landing in 20 minutes.” When his replies weren’t delivered, he sensed something could not be right.

Raza’s wife, who had traveled to and from Wichita for work, was fearful of flying and never really felt comfortable while on board, Raza disclosed with reporter Larry Miller.

“I’m just praying that somebody’s pulling her out of the river right now, as we speak.”

WUSA9

“That’s all I can pray for, I’m just praying to God”, desperate Raza told WUSA9.

American Airlines Flight 5342 carried 60 passengers and four crew members when it plummeted into the icy Potomac river. The helicopter carried three soldiers.

People reported that members of the U.S. Figure Skating team were also onboard the plane at the time of the crash. 

“These athletes, coaches, and family members were returning home from the National Development Camp held in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas,” the governing body confirmed in a statement to the publication.

Reuters through The Sun

As per the BBC, approximately 300 rescuers in rubber boats have been sent out on the Potomac River to search for survivors, said John Donnelly, Washington, DC’s fire and emergency services chief.

“The challenge is access, there is wind, pieces of ice (on the water). It is dangerous and hard to work in,” Donelly said.

Later, Donelly said, “Despite their efforts, we are now at a point where we are switching from a rescue operation to a recovery operation. At this point, we do not believe there are any survivors from this accident.”

@metrouk A man waiting for his wife at Reagan National Airport revealed the final text she sent to him before her flight collided with a military helicopter. 64 people were on the passenger plane and three soldiers inside the helicopter. A desperate search operation involving hundreds of first responders is now focused on the nearby Potomac River after both aircraft plunged into the freezing water. #fyp=”https://www.tiktok.com/tag/americanairlines?refer=embed” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>#americanairlines#helicopter#blackhawkhelicopter#breakingnews#reagannationalairport#usnews#us#washington ♬ original sound – Metro

Following the tragic crash, American Airlines issued the following statement: “American Eagle Flight 5342 en route from Wichita, Kansas (ICT), to Washington, D.C. (DCA) was involved in an accident at DCA. The flight was operated by PSA Airlines with a CRJ-700.

“Our concern is for the passengers and crew on board the aircraft. We are in contact with authorities and assisting with emergency response efforts.”

President Donald Trump, who took office on Monday, said he was closely following the issue and confirmed receiving a detailed briefing on “the horrible accident.”

“May God Bless their souls,” he said in a statement. “Thank you for the incredible work being done by our first responders.”

Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi welcomed their second child, Buckingham Palace revealed.

The baby, named Athena, was born a few weeks prematurely at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, but both she and the mom are home and recovering well.

The royal family welcomed the new addition into the world on January 22, weighing 4lb 5oz.

“Their Majesties The King and Queen and other members of the royal family have all been informed and are delighted with the news,” the Palace stated.

Princess Beatrice and her husband, who share three-year-old daughter Sienna together, as well as eight-year-old Wolfie from Mr Mapelli Mozzi’s previous relationship, shared a photo of Athena and thanked the team at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for “their wonderful care.”

The news of the birth of the royal baby has come as a shock to the public since it was previously revealed that Princess Beatrice was due in early spring. 

The Palace announced the princess’ pregnancy in October. Two months later, doctors advised Princess Beatrice not to travel long distances. 

This forced Princess Beatrice to change her plans for Christmas about traveling overseas. Instead, she joined the royal family at church in Sandringham on Christmas Day.

The proud father shared a photo of baby Athena wrapped in a pink blanket, calling her calling her “tiny and absolutely perfect.”

“We welcomed baby Athena into our lives last week. She is tiny and absolutely perfect. We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her. Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena,” Mr Mapelli Mozzi wrote on Instagram.

Proud aunt Princess Eugenie celebrated the arrival of the new addition to the family sharing Mr Mapelli Mozzi’s post and writing, “Welcome Baby Girl.”

I caught my kids’ nanny getting out of the shower while my husband was home, so I turned on the nanny cam the next day

By
Monica Pop

Upon returning home from work one day, a woman was shocked to see the nanny getting out of the shower. After confronting her, she said that she needed to take a shower because one of the kids spilled the milk on her.

Since this wasn’t a usual situation, the woman demanded a further explanation. The nanny said the kids were napping, so she thought it wouldn’t be a problem to take a shower since she wasn’t really leaving them unattended.

“I still don’t think it’s appropriate for you to shower in my home though,” the woman replied in frustration. The 23-year-old nanny started reassuring her that she did it because she didn’t think it was a big of a deal.

As the two were going back and forth on the matter, the woman’s husband suddenly appeared in the living room. This only made things more twisted as at the time he was supposed to be at work.

The husband sided with the nanny, telling his wife she shouldn’t have been angry over a shower.

The woman was confused. She couldn’t help but think that her husband could be having an affair with the woman whom she paid to babysit her kids.

Filled with doubts, the woman decided to take out the good old nanny cam she used when the children were still babies. She installed it in the living room and waited to see if something odd was taking place behind her back.

The following day, she was looking at the cam when she spotted her husband entering the house. She saw him leaving in the morning. He was supposed to be at work, so why was he home at that time?

Unaware of what was going on, the woman told her boss she wasn’t feeling fine and asked if she could call the day off.

In a hurry, she headed home and saw her husband cooking lunch in the kitchen.

Looking at her, he said, “You are early.” She told him they allowed her to go home early because of a power outage that brought the systems down. He seemed to accept her story before saying, “Honey, I have to tell you something,” sounding like he was guilty of a crime.

Then, he confessed something completely unexpected.

The husband revealed that his company had let him go a week ago due to downsizing. He said that he had been too afraid to tell his wife the truth. So, he had chosen to keep it from her, pretending to go to work instead. In reality, he had been spending his days at home, searching for a new job online and helping around the children.

He then said, “Yesterday indeed our daughter spilled milk on our nanny so I told her to go and wash everything while I was there to take care of the kids who were napping.”

Man ate 720 eggs in one month: This is what happened to his body

By
Monica Pop
-

It all started with a hypothesis that his cholesterol levels won’t level up, and ended with the consumption of whooping 720 eggs in just a month, equaling to 24 eggs per day.

Yes, you’ve heard that right. Medical student Dr. Nick Norwitz decided to undertake an interesting “eggsperiment” that he documented in a YouTube video.

Addressing his followers, Dr. Norwitz said he believes that consuming 60 dozen eggs won’t affect the levels of his cholesterol, especially the LDL cholesterol, or the “bad cholesterol,” despite the fact that 720 eggs “amounts to 133,200 MG of cholesterol.”

In order to prove his theory right, he ate an average of one egg per hour for an entire month.

A post shared by Nick Norwitz (@nicknorwitz)

The results? Well, put into Dr. Norwitz’s wods, they were jaw-dropping.

“Even though my dietary intake of cholesterol more than twintupled, my LDL cholesterol actually dropped by two percent over the first two weeks,” he explained.

Over the following two weeks, the levels of his LDL cholesterol dropped an impressive 18 more percent.

Now, if you wonder how that is possible, since teachers taught us that cholesterol-rich foods increase the levels, Dr. Norwitz provides an answer.

“Basically, when you eat cholesterol it ‘binds to receptors on gut cells and this stimulates the release of a hormone called chisin and chisin binds to its receptor on the liver called GPR1 146 and this inhibits endogenous cholesterol synthesis by the liver so things balance out and the homeostasis is maintained,” he said.

“The purpose of this whole experiment was a metabolic demonstration to discuss the ‘levers’ that can affect cholesterol in different individuals,” the cell biologist metabolism scientist who’s pursuing medical degree at Harvard, shared with Fox News.

“I expected my cholesterol levels not to change by just adding the eggs — and that is indeed what happened.”

Dr. Norwitz, who has done a number of experiments in order to show his interest in metabolic health, further explained that there is no a universal “best” diet.

My husband died in an accident, and I never saw his body – Then, I heard his voice from our daughter’s bedroom

By
Monica Pop

The grief that settled in my heart after my husband’s passing was so profound that I couldn’t imagine my life without him by my side. When I lost him, I was eight months pregnant, and the though of my daughter never meeting her dad crashed me even more. And then, one night the voice of my late husband filled my daughter’s room and I though I was going crazy.

When I received the fateful call that Jeremy was involved in a fatal car crash, my world collapsed.

“Please, officer,” I yelled at the person on the other end of the phone. “Tell me that’s not true. Please say my husband’s alive…”

Unfortunately, Jeremy passed away, and I didn’t even get to see his body. They told me the crash was so bad I wouldn’t even recognize what was left of him.

I was sad beyond what words can say, but I needed to be strong for my girl.

A month later, I gave birth to the most beautiful girl, Sophia.

Even though she was just a baby who didn’t understand anything, I told her stories about Jeremy, and about how much he would have loved her.

Two years have passed, and my pain still wouldn’t go away. I missed my husband more than anything.

Then, one night, as I put Sophia to bed and decided to read a book in the next room, I heard a familiar voice, that of my husband.

Midjourney

Chills ran down my spine. Was I going mad?

The door was locked, the windows were shut, and the house was unusually peaceful.

Before I could come to my senses, I heard it yet again. “I will love you forever.”

“Oh, my God. That’s Jeremy’s voice. Could he be… alive!?”

I rushed to Sophia’s room, and looked around. There was no one there. She was sleeping peacefully. Was I imagining things?

No. I wasn’t. Just as I was about to leave the room, I heard the voice one again. “I will love you forever.”

And then it hit me. It was the teddy bear my girl had pressed tightly to her chest.

My MIL, Gloria gave it to Sophia for her 2nd birthday.

In the morning, I called Gloria on the phone, demanding answers.

“Gloria, why did you do it?” I asked her.

“Did what, Kelly?” she asked back.

“The teddy bear, and Jeremy’s voice. I taught I was losing my mind, that I was going crazy. I even though my husband could be alive.”

Gloria said that every time Sophia asked about her dad, her heart broke. So, she decided to take a recording from our wedding video and have it sewn into the teddy bear.

“‘I love you forever,’ those were his wedding wows to you, Kelly,” Gloria said.

I knew Gloria meant the best, but I felt overwhelmed. However, I wasn’t angry or mad.

That evening, as Sophia went to sleep, I took the teddy bear and pressed it over and over again, listening to the sweet voice of my husband.

I knew he was looking at us from above.
