Vet issues serious warning over ‘concerning' TikTok video urging pet owners to give Ibuprofen to dogs
Is it safe to give ibuprofen to pets? A viral video on TikTok claims so. After the clip reached 300,000 views, TikToker Ben The Vet issued a serious warning on the matter, as per Newsweek. Speaking to the outlet, Ben said that it was unsafe for people to try out the trend. This could lead to health complications for the pets in the long run. According to him, the symptoms might not be apparent easily but could build up over time. Here's why you should not give Ibuprofen to dogs and other pet animals As per Newsweek, the video in question was posted in June. It claims that pets can be given the same medicine as children. The clip shows a person using a plastic syringe to take ibuprofen from a bottle meant for children. The Mirror reported that several users had commented that they had been given similar advice in the past when their pets were ill. Ben the Vet wrote in a clip posted on his TikTok account, 'Ibuprofen is not a safe painkiller to give to pets and it's concerning to see how many views this video has had, and how many pets might be harmed by this advice.' The TikToker told Newsweek that the confusion around ibuprofen may have stemmed from the fact that some painkillers for humans can be given to pets in the right dosage, such as paracetamol. He added that the physiology of a dog or a cat is different from that of a human being. This is why, to avoid people inadvertently poisoning their pets, there are laws that state over-the-counter medicines for humans legally must be issued for animals via a veterinary prescription.

Japan Airlines flight drops 26,000 ft mid-air, makes emergency landing
A Tokyo-bound Japan Airlines flight JL8696 from Shanghai was forced to make an emergency landing at Kansai Airport in Japan after the aircraft dropped nearly 26,000 feet mid-air suddenly. The Boeing 737 aircraft was operated by Spring Airlines Japan and carried 191 people on board, including passengers and the crew, South China Morning Post reported, adding that none of the passengers and crew were injured. The flight suffered a sudden drop in cabin pressure at around 6.53 PM local time, thereby forcing the plane to descend rapidly from 36,000 feet to 10,500 feet in ten minutes. According to an Associated Press report, passengers onboard were worried that the aircraft would crash after the oxygen masks were deployed amid fears of a change in pressure levels. Sudden drop in pressure level could cause some people to lose consciousness.

Soon after landing, passengers began posting on social media about the incident as 'life-threatening'. A passenger wrote, 'My body is still here, but my soul hasn't caught up. My legs are still shaking. When you face life or death, everything else feels trivial.' Another passenger told Associated Press that a muffled boom was heard, and the oxygen mask came down in a few seconds, adding that the stewardess cried and shouted to put on the masks, saying that the plane had a malfunction. Several social media users claimed that the passengers were kept on board the plane, even after an hour of landing, with Spring Airlines announcing to pay each passenger 15,000 yen ($104) after complaints. However, the passengers would be required to contact the airline rather than receive the compensation automatically. A South China Morning Post report revealed that the Boeing 737 series involved in Monday's emergency landing has faced numerous global safety incidents, including at least 12 fatal crashes since 2000. An investigation is currently underway into the mechanical issue that caused the sudden drop in cabin pressure.

Oxygen masks deployed on Spring Japan flight after loss of cabin pressure, plane makes emergency landing in Osaka, Asia News
A Spring Japan flight from Shanghai made an emergency landing in Osaka on Monday (June 30) after a cabin depressurisation alert was triggered. Photos and clips shared on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu show passenger oxygen masks hanging in the cabin of the Tokyo-bound codeshare flight JL8696/IJ004. One user who was on the flight wrote that they had heard a "boom" sound several seconds before the masks dropped. A flight attendant then shouted for everyone to don the masks. Travellers were then reportedly informed to fasten their seat belts and told by the captain that the plane was making an emergency landing, said another netizen. "The lights in the cabin gradually dimmed, and the air became hotter," this user claimed. A third user said that the captain reportedly said they could remove the oxygen masks about 15 minutes later, and the plane landed in Osaka 30 minutes after the saga began. Japanese media outlet Kyodo News reported that the aircraft landed safety at Kansai Airport at about 8.50pm. Citing local authorities, the report said the 191 passengers and cabin crew were on board the aircraft, with no reports of injury or sickness. According to Kyodo, the plane had purportedly experienced decompression, which is a loss of cabin pressure. A certificate of cancellation issued to passengers by Spring Japan stated that the flight had been cancelled "after a diversion caused by an aircraft mechanical issue". The incident is being investigated, reported Kyodo. [[nid:719048]]

Japan's Famously Punctual Bullet Train Halted by Reptile Intruder
One of Japan's busiest bullet train lines screeched to a halt Wednesday after a snake tangled itself in a power line, triggering an outage that froze the Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka at peak travel time. The trains stopped around 5:25 p.m. local time and didn't resume until 7:00 p.m., stranding thousands during Japan's busiest holiday stretch. Golden Week, which consists of four national holidays in seven days, and will see trains, airports and holiday hotspots hit their peak. And the World Expo, which is being hosted in Osaka this year, bringing millions of foreign and domestic visitors to the city it concludes in October. The snake entanglement occurred between Gifu-Hashima and Maibara stations, which suspended Tokyo-bound trains between Shin-Osaka and Nagoya, and the Osaka-bound trains between Shin-Osaka and Tokyo, according to Kyodo News. While authorities worked to get power restored, passengers formed long queues and gathered around flustered station staff. One frequent shinkansen traveler, who was returning to Tokyo, said it was the first time he had experienced this. "I use the Shinkansen several times a month, but this is the first time I have experienced suspensions due to a power outage," said Satoshi Tagawa, 46. Other passengers like Kazutoshi Tachi, 26 were less forgiving and expressed their frustration, 'I'm fed up with the troubles. I want them to run on time." Oddly enough, this isn't the first time a snake has brought the shinkansen service to a halt. Last April, CBS News reported authorities had to remove a 16 in (40.6cm) snake from the train between Nagoya and Tokyo, which caused a more minor delay of 17-minutes. It seems Japan has a new, scaly threat to punctuality.
