Ethiopian Airlines B787 Dreamliner suffers mid-air depressurisation; 7 fall ill on Mumbai-bound flight, 1 hospitalised after emergency landing at CSMIA
An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner, en route to Mumbai from Addis Ababa, executed an emergency landing early Friday morning due to cabin depressurization. MUMBAI: A Mumbai-bound Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa made an emergency landing in the city at 1.42am on Friday after the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft experienced a depressurisation problem. "On landing, seven passengers were attended to by the airport medical team for decompression-related symptoms, out of which one required hospitalisation," a source said. The incident comes days after 11 flyers, including 6 crew members, felt dizzy and nauseous during an Air India Heathrow-Mumbai flight operated with a Boeing 777 aircraft on June 23. The cause for the illness is under probe.

It was cruising at 33,000 feet when the cabin depressurisation took place and the pilots executed a rapid descent to a lower altitude, according to data from Flightradar24. For human survival, aircraft cabins are sealed and pressurised with conditioned air and oxygen. This allows aircraft to fly at higher altitudes where oxygen levels are low. However, on rare occasions, the pressurisation system can fail. The pressure and oxygen level in the cabin will then drop, and oxygen masks deploy from the overhead panel.

Over 55 mn devotees visited Ayodhya Ram Temple since consecration: UP govt
Since the consecration of Lord Ram at the newly constructed Ram Temple in Ayodhya on 22 January 2024, the city has experienced an overwhelming influx of devotees from across India and abroad. Over 55 million visitors have come to offer prayers and seek blessings at the temple, the Uttar Pradesh government said in a statement on Friday. The surge in pilgrims has not been limited to the general public. Nearly 450,000 VIPs, including Union ministers, governors, chief ministers from various states, and prominent figures from the entertainment, business, and sports sectors, have also paid their respects at the temple. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has ensured that arrangements for darshan are efficient and convenient, directing authorities to guarantee that all visitors, whether ordinary devotees or distinguished guests, experience a smooth visit, the statement read. With the completion of the grand temple, Ayodhya has become a major global religious destination. In response to the growing demand, the state government has worked on enhancing public transport connectivity, facilitating easier access for both pilgrims and tourists. The inauguration ceremony of the temple, which was attended by numerous international dignitaries, marked the beginning of a new chapter in the city's transformation. Since then, the number of VIP visitors has continued to rise, with several governors making multiple visits, often accompanied by their families, it said. Bollywood stars such as Amitabh Bachchan and cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar were present for the consecration ceremony. More recently, actors Govinda and Anushka Sharma, alongside cricket icon Virat Kohli, have also offered prayers at the temple. Divisional Commissioner Gaurav Dayal stated that approximately 55 million devotees have visited the temple to date, the majority being pilgrims. He assured that the administration is taking every step to ensure the safety and comfort of all visitors in line with security protocols. With Lord Ram now seated on the first floor of the temple, the number of visitors is expected to rise further in the coming days. Recently, Errol Musk, father of Elon Musk, along with his sister, travelled to Ayodhya to offer prayers at the temple. Dressed in traditional Indian attire, Musk described the experience as "wonderful." To manage the increasing crowd, temple authorities have implemented an online pass system, ensuring that darshan is accessible to all, whether common visitors or VIPs.
