Boeing-made satellite explodes in space after experiencing an "anomaly"

 The U.S. Space Force is tracking debris in space after a satellite manufactured by Boeing exploded earlier this week, the satellite's operator said. 



The Intelsat 33e satellite, which was launched in 2016 and provides communications across Europe, Asia and Africa, experienced "an anomaly" on Saturday, Intelsat said in a news release.



 Attempts were made to work with Boeing and repair the satellite, but on Monday, the U.S. Space Force confirmed that the satellite had exploded.


The satellite's breakup left some customers without power or communications services. Intelsat said it is working with third-party providers to limit service interruptions, and is in communication with customers.  


Since the breakup, the U.S. Space Force is now tracking "around 20 associated pieces" of the satellite in space. The agency said that there are "no immediate threats" and routine assessments to ensure safety are ongoing. 



Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, said it had recorded "more than 80 fragments" of the destroyed satellite. Analysis of the pieces' trajectory determined that the destruction of the satellite was "instantaneous and high-energy," Roscosmos said. 


the International Space Station for months after an issue on the company's Starliner left the craft unable to transport people. Those astronauts are slated to come home in early 2025. 


Boeing reported a third-quarter loss of more than $6 billion on Wednesday morning. Earlier in October, newly-installed CEO Kelly Ortberg said about 10% of the company's workforce would be cut. Tens of thousands of manufacturing employees are currently on strike.

Dead' man surprises family by walking into his own funeral!

Image
 A family gathering to mourn the death of a relative were shocked to tears and fainting when the deceased man in question pitched up at his own funeral on Tuesday. In a bizarre case of mistaken identity, news of car washer Gilberto Araujo's murder had been relayed to the family by local police in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Sunday. Shortly after, when the wayward vagabond's brother was called into the morgue to make a positive identification on the body, he saw his brother lying on the table and took the corpse home so his family could hold a wake. Jose Marcos Araujo was so fooled by the likeness of fellow car washer Genivaldo Santos Gama to his brother Gilberto, that he mistakenly confirmed the body to be his sibling's. Police inspector Roberto Lima said that Jose Marcos took the body to his mother's Alagoinhas home where a wake was held on Tuesday 'The confusion started when news started circulating that a car washer had been shot dead,...

The woman was found dead at the family's sheep and cattle ranch near the town of Mitchell in Queensland. The woman had been given the camel as a 60th birthday present earlier this year by her husband because of her love of exotic pets. The camel was  10 months old but already weighed 152kg (336lbs) and had a history of eractic behavior! On Saturday, the woman apparently became the object of the male camel's desire! He knocked her to the ground and began  making sex attempts at her! He lay on top of her straddling her until she ran out of oxygen and died due to the unbearable pressure. Young camels are not normally aggressive but can become more threatening if treated and raised as pets. What a tragic way to die! It was a gift. l wonder how her husband who gave her the camel as a gift will be feeling now.

Jet plummeted 33,000ft in horror crash Killing all on board

Image
 Confusion in the cockpit saw a passenger plane plunge to the ground at speeds of up to 300ft a second in what was the deadliest aviation disaster of the year. An aeroplane that crashed today, killing everyone on board, plummeted to the ground at a terrifying speed of up to 300ft a second. The 160 passengers and crew on board the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 stood no chance as the aircraft plunged 33,000ft in about three minutes. But despite the rapid descent, and the correct diagnosis of the problem by his co-pilot, the captain failed to realise what was going on as confusion engulfed the cockpit. Flight 708 crashed near Machiques in north-west Venezuela. It had been on an overnight trip from Panama to the French Caribbean island of Martinique. The tragedy set three grim records – it was the deadliest plane crash of the year, the deadliest in Venezuelan history and the deadliest involving an MD-82. It’s believed the pilots flew the plane too high given its weight and ...

Alex Torres Fired For Sex While Skydiving

Image
 Skydiving instructor Alex Torres has found himself out of a job and under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration after a recent stunt that he pulled off with the help of Skydive Taft administrative assistant, Hope Howell. Last weekend, the duo woke up early and took off in a company plane for a little tandem dive… *plays Barry White song* … and they had sex all over the sweet morning sky. Torres, who I should also mention is an adult film star known as “Voodoo,” and Howell began having sex in the plane before jumping out and continued bumping uglies a few thousand feet over the city of Taft, California, all to get the attention of Howard Stern. And while no police charges are being filed because “no one complained,” the sex act apparently upset one teenage boy, and now the FAA is investigating Torres and Howell because: “Anyone who allows an activity to occur that could affect his or her ability to concentrate on flying the aircraft or could result ...
