Now the people are jumping from the wing onto the ground." Adding to the confusion, some passengers described a lack of clear direction from cabin crew during the alert. According to one distressed mother whose daughter was on board, the crew appeared overwhelmed, as quoted by the Sun: "One attendant shouted, 'Get off', the other froze and she didn't know what was going on. She looked as shocked as the passengers." The woman further recounted a harrowing phone call from her daughter during the evacuation: "My daughter called me and said, 'Mum, I'm trying to get down the slide, I might not survive this and I love you'. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It was horrible. I couldn't sleep all night, even after I knew she was safe. They got no support when she got in the airport." Airport authorities confirmed that the emergency call was received at 12.36 am. A spokesperson for Majorcan emergency services stated, "We received an alert about a fire on a plane on the ground at Palma airport at 00.36 am today. Four ambulances were sent to the scene which were two basic life support units and two advanced life support units. Eighteen people were injured and received medical assistance of whom six were taken to hospital. They were all minor. Three went to the Clinica Rotger and three to the Palmaplanas Hospital." Ryanair later clarified that the evacuation was triggered by a false fire warning. In its official statement, the airline said: "This flight from Palma to Manchester discontinued take-off due to a false fire warning light indication. Passengers were disembarked using the inflatable slides and returned to the terminal." "While disembarking, a small number of passengers encountered very minor injuries (ankle sprains, etc.) and crew requested immediate medical assistance. To minimise disruption to passengers, we quickly arranged a replacement aircraft to operate this flight, which departed Palma at 07:05 this morning. We sincerely apologise to affected passengers for any inconvenience caused," it further added.

Harry Styles' mystery new woman identified as he breaks usual pattern
One Direction star Harry Styles was seen sharing a very passionate kiss with a mystery woman in the early hours at Glastonbury as her identity has now been revealed Pop star Harry Styles was spotted locking lips with an unknown woman at Glastonbury as they partied the night away together. He was seen getting very close to a mystery woman in a 12-second smooch in the VIP area. The One Direction star, 31, has long faced intrigue into his love life, and can count a number of A-list stars as his exes. Harry most recently split with Canadian actress Taylor Russell in May last year. The reveller at Glastonbury is the first woman Harry has been linked to since the split, but she did not appear to have celebrity status of her own. Now, it has been revealed that the woman who caught Harry's eye is a producer, believed to be called Ella Kenny. Harry was seen with Ella at 2:30am on Saturday night as they took in the festivities on Worthy Farm. The new romance seems a break from his usual go-to of high-profile superstars, including Taylor Swift and Kendall Jenner. 'Harry and Ella had fun together at Glastonbury and shared a kiss on the dancefloor," a source told the Sun."They had a good time in the moment, but it doesn't mean it will evolve into anything. They just got on and had a snog." They added: 'But she seems like a normal, down-to-earth girl, which is different from some of the big stars he's dated before.' Ella, who went to Bournemouth University, has been working as a producer in London for almost three years. Harry did not arrive to the VIP area with Ella, but was joined by his pals, including music producer Kid Harpoon. She then made her entrance shortly afterwards and was spotted kissing Harry after their dance. A source told the publication: "Harry only had eyes for this woman and sparks were flying as soon as they were together." They added: "Harry turned up with a few of his mates, but as soon as she got there, they were almost inseparable. "Just short of an hour after they arrived, they kissed in front of loads of other people and didn't seem to care who was watching." The pair "appeared to have known each other for a while," the onlooker claimed. Harry and his most recent ex, Taylor, called things off after a "make or break" trip to Japan. Speaking at the time, an insider said: "They went through a rough patch after their trip to Japan and are taking some time apart. "He's been in America, and she's been in London. They made a lovely couple, and it was obvious Taylor made Harry happy. Things have become strained recently, though, and they've taken some time out." Harry is said to have arrived at Worthy Farm in Somerset on Friday and spent his first night there partying with mates until around 6am. Many fans hoped for a One Direction reunion as former bandmate Louis Tomlinson was also at the event for the weekend with his new girlfriend Zara McDermott.

Sun just unleashed a 10,00,000-km-long mega eruption. Will Earth be hit?
In what could only be described as a fiery burp, the Sun unleashed a mega explosion from its northern hemisphere hurtling millions of tons of solar material into solar filament caught by aurora chaser Vincent Ledvina, stretches over a million kilometres in length as it begins its journey away from the Sun.A solar filament is a large, elongated structure of cool, dense plasma suspended above the Sun's surface by magnetic fields. Despite being cooler than the surrounding solar atmosphere (the corona), it still emits light but appears dark when viewed against the bright background of the Sun. advertisement Solar filaments form along areas where the Sun's magnetic field is particularly the video on X, Vincent Ledvina wrote "Not sure what to call this eruption, maybe the "bird-wing" or "angel-wing" event? Either way, it is truly something to witness!"After weeks of relative quiet, the Sun has sprung back to life, unleashing two powerful solar flares from opposite first, an X1.2-class flare, erupted with force, causing a brief shortwave radio blackout over the Americas and launching a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. According to NASA models, the CME is expected to strike Mercury, graze Venus, and miss Earth entirely later this a spectacular CME from the huge filament eruption earlier today! Unfortunately it is directed north and will miss us. A direct hit from a CME like this can be high-end G4 storm material, maybe even G5. Jure Atanackov (@JAtanackov) May 13, 2025advertisementThe second flare, rated M5.3, triggered a longer radio blackout across Southeast Asia and likely released a CME as well. If confirmed, this one may contain an Earth-directed component, but scientists await updated imagery from SOHO coronagraphs to verify its explosion comes over a year after the most severe geomagnetic storm in two decades struck Earth and triggered cascading effects on Earth's thermosphere, Earth's upper atmospheric layer was heated to a record 1,150C from the storm, causing it to expand and loft heavy nitrogen particles storm generated the largest electrical currents in Earth's magnetosphere in 20 years, which were observed by Nasa's MMS and THEMIS-ARTEMIS missions.
