Boeing plane collides with Airbus and slices tail with 380 passengers stranded
More than 300 passengers were left stranded when a plane taxiing on a runway suddenly struck the tail of another aircraft with its wing - the incident is being investigated Four pilots have been suspended after a shocking airport incident saw a jet cut the tail of another aircraft as passengers watched on in horror. The incident occurred in Vietnam's capital of Hanoi on Friday afternoon and saw a Boeing and an Airbus plane collide at Noi Bai International Airport. The Boeing 787 was taxiing for takeoff for a flight from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. As it did so, its right wingtip hit part of the tail on the Airbus A321, which was also waiting to depart Dien Bien. Both planes are operated by Vietnam Airlines. Damage to the Airbus' tail was caused along with the Boeing's wingtip. Both aircraft were grounded so technical inspections could take place, while replacement planes were arranged for the stranded passengers. A total of 380 passengers were onboard the two flights at the time of the incident. Vietnam Airlines suspended two pilots from each flight and set up an independent team to investigate the cause of the incident with the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), the VN Express reported. The incident was classified at a 'Level B' incident by the CAAV, the second most serious on the five-tier scale used by investigators. This indicates there was a severe breach of safety that led to temporary runway or taxiway closure. Initial findings have suggested the Airbus was not in its designated point on the taxiway when the collision occurred. It comes after a devastating crash in India this month saw more than 270 people killed when a London-bound flight struck a medical college hostel in a residential area of the northwestern city of Ahmedabad minutes after take-off. The crash killed 241 people onboard and at least 29 on the ground. One passenger survived. The flag carrier of India said alternative arrangements had been made to fly the affected passengers to their destination at the earliest convenience. The British survivor of the crash said it was a 'miracle' he survived, but added he feels 'terrible' he could not save his brother. Vishwash Kumar Ramesh told The Sun: 'It's a miracle I survived. I am OK physically but I feel terrible that I could not save Ajay.' Mr Ramesh was in seat 11A, next to one of the aircraft's emergency exits. He said: 'If we had been sat together we both might have survived. "I tried to get two seats together but someone had already got one. Me and Ajay would have been sitting together. But I lost my brother in front of my eyes. So now I am constantly thinking 'Why can't I save my brother?'"

Tesco is selling a £6.99 buy that'll get rid of pesky flies in seconds, and it's completely chemical-free too
Plus, why do flies come out in summer? BUZZ OFF Tesco is selling a £6.99 buy that'll get rid of pesky flies in seconds, and it's completely chemical-free too WHEN you spend long summer days in the garden, keeping pesky flies and mosquitos at bay is a top priority. Fortunately, there are many great repellent options available if you're tired of the constant buzzing by your ears. 3 Closeup of a housefly with its reflection in a glass window Credit: Getty 3 One woman documented how the plant instantly trapped a fly Credit: tiktok/@hannahtuite2 3 Fellow shoppers can snap up this plant for as little as £6.99 from Tesco Credit: tiktok/@hannahtuite2 However, for pest control that also makes your outdoor space look better, it's worth considering adding a special plant that will kill the unwelcome visitors. Most of us have heard that adding basil or rosemary to the greenery works wonders. But turns out, there's another plant worth snapping up from your local Tesco - the Venus Fly Trap. The ultimate natural pest control is this carnivorous plant that captures pesky insects and spiders in its claw-like, clamshell-shaped leaves. Once the pest has been trapped, the plant snaps them shut, and then "eats" its unsuspecting prey by releasing digestive enzymes. While these plants are certainly fascinating and entertaining to watch, the Venus Fly Trap requires rather specific conditions. For best results, you should plant it outside for full sun - however, if that's not an option, you can keep it on a sunny windowsill with an additional artificial light nearby. The fly-munching trap also likes wet soil, meaning if in a pot, its roots must always be sitting in water. As the plant can't handle hard water that comes from most taps in the UK, it's strongly advised to keep it hydrated with distilled or clean rainwater. If the trap is unable to catch food on its own, green-fingered Brits should keep it fed with insects, blood worms, or fish food. The 2C method which stops flies plaguing your home and ruining your BBQ Keen to see whether this chemical-free solution works? Shoppers can snap up Venus Fly Trap in a Tin from Tesco for just £6.99, order it from Amazon for £13.99 or buy it from their local B&Q on sale for £16.35. One person who was recently amazed by how well the plant worked was Irish lass and TikToker Hannah Tuite - her plant caught a fly just an hour after purchasing it. ''Wasn't expecting this to work, let alone so quick,'' she told fellow social media users in the now-viral video. Why do flies come out in summer? Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE! The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures. Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours! In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days. The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months! However, if you're on the lookout for a less barbaric option, the stunning lavender works a treat too - and it will leave your garden smelling amazing. Although lavender is one of the most beloved scents for humans, flies can't stand the scent of it. Therefore, if you plant the fragrant flower near the entrance to your home or on the windowsill, it will act as a barrier against flies. Plus, lavender also attracts bees, which will give your garden a wildlife boost. Anyone wanting to try out this simple hack won't have to fork out much, as Aldi is launching a lavender plant for just £3.79. The bargain bloom will be available at stores across the UK from June 12, so flower fans had better set their alarms to be in with the chance of snagging the product.
