Taxiing Passenger Plane Sucks Cargo Container Into Engine

A passenger plane engine was badly damaged after it sucked up a storage container while taxiing to its gate. The Air India Airbus A350 was scheduled to fly to New York City on Thursday but was forced to return to Delhi when Iran temporarily closed its airspace amid tensions with the U.S. With 240 passengers onboard, flight AI 101 touched down safely in heavy fog, but as it made its way across the apron, it sucked in a container through its right engine. No one was hurt, but the two-year-old plane’s engine suffered significant damage, the BBC reports. Footage published by The Times of India, taken from inside the plane through the fog, shows the engine stuffed with debris. The aircraft has been grounded, with India’s ministry of civil aviation saying the container fell “onto the taxiway intersection” after a wheel came loose on the trolley that was carrying it, the BBC reports. “However, the container which fell was left behind and it got ingested into the No. 2 engine of the aircraft,” Air India told the BBC.

Actress Melissa Leo spilled that winning an Oscar for her performance in 2011’s The Fighter “has not been very good for me or my career.” The 65-year-old actress told The Guardian that her turn as overbearing mother Alice Eklund-Ward in the David O. Russell film limited the range of parts she was offered. “Winning an Oscar has not been good for me or my career,” she said. “I didn’t dream of it, I never wanted it, and I had a much better career before I won.” The actress added that after The Fighter, for which she won Best Supporting Actress, “all I was offered was older, nasty women. I don’t want to do that anymore.” Leo instead expressed her desire to play royalty, saying, “I’ve been asking for years: ‘Please, may I play the princess? The glorious, kind, benevolent queen?’” She’ll have to wait for that: Leo’s next film is a horror film called Passenger, directed by André Øvredal. It is slated for a release in 2026.

The cousin of accused killer Luigi Mangione has joined a soccer team in Brooklyn, just miles from where the alleged United Healthcare CEO assassin is in prison. Peter Mangione, 24, signed a deal with Brooklyn FC on Jan. 14, to join its inaugural USL Championship roster as a midfielder. “He brings a balanced midfield profile to Brooklyn, with the engine to cover ground and the end product to impact matches in the final third,” the club wrote in a statement announcing the new recruit. The soccer player hails from Hunt Valley, Maryland, where Luigi, 27, was also raised. Peter played soccer at Penn State University before becoming a professional sportsman. His previous club was FC Cincinnati 2, where he scored two goals and five assists. Brooklyn FC’s first USL Championship game will be against Indy Eleven in Coney Island, Brooklyn’s Maimonides Park on March 8. Luigi Mangione is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Sunset Park, near Coney Island. He has been held at the facility since December 2024, ahead of a trial over the murder of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson that month. Luigi is due to return to court on Jan. 30.

Former Ink Master contestant Tyler Nolan was arrested Tuesday following a violent November altercation with his girlfriend. According to the police report obtained by TMZ, Palm Beach County Sheriff deputies were contacted about a domestic dispute, prompting them to respond to a home in Loxahatchee, Florida. Upon their arrival, Nolan’s girlfriend provided them with what she said was video evidence that Nolan abused her. Upon viewing the videos, authorities determined there was probable cause to issue a warrant for simple battery. Nolan was subsequently booked into the Palm Beach County jail, and at his Thursday hearing, the judge ordered him to stay away from his accuser. Speaking to TMZ, Nolan said that the charges were a “bunch of bulls--t” and accused his now-ex of being a “vengeful person.” “I haven’t talked to her since October, bunch of ‘he said, she said’ bulls--t‚” he added. Nolan has since claimed that his ex was abusive toward him and only contacted the police after he filed for a protective order against her. A tattoo artist, Nolan competed on the sixth season of Paramount’s Ink Master, finishing in sixth place.

Reality TV veteran Farrah Abraham decided to run for Congress after she jumped the gun on running for mayor of Austin. The Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant star announced on Instagram Thursday that she was launching her campaign to become the mayor of Austin. “Austin, my story isn’t just a headline; it’s the blueprint for Austin’s 2026 transformation,” wrote the 34-year-old in a now-deleted post. TMZ then called Abraham to inform her that the next mayoral election for Austin was in 2028—not 2026, as she apparently believed. Abraham then amended her paperwork to jump into the race for Texas’s 5th congressional district, which has been represented by Republican Lance Gooden since 2019. Abraham has not formally declared a political party, but she explicitly praised Donald Trump during his first term and said men would prefer to marry “Republican women.” Her campaign website features AI-generated graphics and only has a link for visitors to be “notified” about future developments. Abraham had her daughter, Sophia Laurent Abraham, in 2008. Sophia is now 16 years old.

Why so serious? That’s the question on TV fans’ minds, given the onslaught of recent series that are so intense, so grim, and, as such, so unfun. Would it kill someone to smile? That’s why the new Peacock spy thriller Ponies is such a welcome change of pace. The new series, which is now streaming, stars Game of Thrones veteran Emilia Clarke and The White Lotus alum Haley Lu Richardson. They play the wives of undercover CIA operatives in Russia in the 1970s. Their husbands, who are being tracked by the KGB, are considered Persons of Interest; they, however, are Persons of No Interest…aka PONIs. That is, until their husbands are killed and they end up playing spygames themselves. The show is flashy, and thanks to the crackling chemistry between Clarke and Richardson and their Odd Couple-esque characters. Click through to Substack for the full breakdown of why Ponies is so much more fun than the other spy thrillers out there.

ICE detained Chinese businesswoman and casino financier Cui Lijie on the morning of January 13 for alleged immigration violations. The detainment took place in the Northern Mariana Islands, an unincorporated American territory in the western Pacific Ocean. Lijie is best known as the former majority shareholder of the defunct Chinese investment holding company Imperial Pacific International. According to Forbes, her networth was $1.1 billion as of 2018. The holding company had established the sole casino on the islands, named the Imperial Pacific Palace, and located on Saipan. The gambling den and its developer have been embroiled in controversy since the casino’s inception. In 2018, Bloomberg reported a series of safety violations during the construction of the Palace, and crews composed of hundreds of Chinese employees were working illegally on tourist visas. The U.S. government shut down the casino in 2020, and those involved in its construction were indicted for their employment practices. Since then, the casino filed for bankruptcy, and Team King Investment bought the property. According to Commissioner Anthony Torres, Lijie is confined at the island’s Department of Corrections, first reported by local paper Marianas Variety. ICE has not reported any other information about her detainment.

Nick Reiner, 32, had been placed under a mental health conservatorship years before he allegedly killed both of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, according to The New York Times. The paper reported that Reiner was placed under an LPS conservatorship for roughly a year beginning in 2020—a legal arrangement typically triggered by involuntary psychiatric hospitalization. The conservatorship allows a court-appointed individual, often a family member, to make decisions related to medical care and treatment for someone deemed gravely disabled due to mental illness. Lee Blumen, a lawyer specializing in psychiatric cases, told the outlet that such conservatorships are rare and reserved for only the most severe cases. Reiner has previously spoken publicly about struggles with drug addiction and mental health during his teenage years. People familiar with his condition told the outlet that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, and that his medication had recently changed prior to his arrest. Reiner is currently being represented by a public defender and faces two counts of first-degree murder. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The U.S. lost out on a worldwide spike in tourism spending in 2025, thanks in part to President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies. Global spending on travel rose by 6.7 percent overall last year compared to the previous year, but the U.S. registered a 6 percent drop in foreign visitors and a 7 percent decrease in spending from foreign travelers, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. Concern about U.S. immigration policy led many tourists to choose European countries such as Spain and France, or Asian countries such as Japan. U.S. Arrivals from Canada, Mexico, and Europe all fell, according to the WTTC. France was the world’s most-visited country in 2025, with 105 million visitors. Spain was next with 96.5 million visitors, followed by the U.S. with a far more modest 68 million visitors. Last year, tourism contributed the equivalent of 10.3 percent of global gross domestic product, and tourism spending grew at double the pace of global economic growth. When reached for comment, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said Trump has “done more for American tourism than anyone, including by making our cities safe and beautiful again for all to enjoy and bringing major events like the Los Angeles Olympics and FIFA World Cup to the United States.”

HBO has tapped famed composer Hans Zimmer to score the music for its upcoming Harry Potter series. In 2023, more than a decade after the last release of the massively successful Harry Potter movies, Warner Bros. announced a TV adaptation of the J.K. Rowling fantasy books. HBO has set the release date for early 2027. Zimmer, 68, is a celebrated composer known for his work on Inception, Interstellar, and The Lion King, along with many other scores for box-office juggernauts. The German star will be composing for the small screen alongside Bleeding Fingers, a music collective he co-founded with Russell Emanuel and Steven Kofsky. The stewards of the reboot’s musical score acknowledged the legacy of the film series’ striking compositions, noting in the announcement that it is a responsibility they “do not take lightly.” “With this score, we hope to bring audiences that little bit closer to it whilst honoring what has come before,” Zimmer added.
