The door of an Asiana Airlines jet opened as it was coming in to land in Daegu, South Korea, on Friday afternoon, leaving wind whipping through the plane’s cabin as terrified passengers gripped their armrests, video of the incident shows.
An airline official said a man in his 30s who was sitting at the emergency seat seemed to have opened the door when the aircraft was about 700 feet (213 meters) above the ground and about two to three minutes from landing in the city 150 miles (240 kilometers) south of Seoul.
However, company officials told CNN the plane had landed safely.

An animal’s survival depends on its own daily decisions and natural selection. 動物的生存取決於他自己每天的決定跟大自然的選擇。也就是物競天擇?這是國家公園管理處的說法,他們對於被排擠的孤兒也不會去救,說到這兒潔西眼淚就掉下來了,最近有點弱啊。

The treatment of a kiwi at a Miami zoo has enraged thousands of New Zealanders, who launched a furious campaign to bring their national bird home and prompted the zoo to apologise.

The footage went viral within hours – sparking a 9,000-person petition, a flood of complaints to the zoo, a government intervention from the Department of Conservation and comments from the prime minister. — Guardian
Normally, lie-flat airline seats are a luxury only available for first- and business-class passengers.
通常而言平躺的座位是只有頭等艙跟商務艙乘客的奢華享受。
But that will change on some Air New Zealand flights when the airline launches Skynest, a beds-on-board concept for economy-class passengers, in September 2024.
The airline first announced the Skynest concept, in which six sleep pods in a bunk bed configuration are available on select planes, last year. This week, it provided more specifics about how booking, pricing and other details will work.
According to a press release issued by the airline, the six pods will be located between the economy and premium economy cabins on certain long-haul routes, including the 17-hour direct between New York City and Auckland, which ranks among the longest flights in the world.
Passengers will be able to pre-book a slot in the pod for between NZ$400-$600 (US$254-$380) for a four-hour block, in addition to the regular cost of their ticket. The cabin crew will change out the bedding in each pod after each use. — CNN

潔西大概是中間吧?基本上是個情緒化的人,近幾年慢慢有在改,但是江山易改本性難移啊!ChatGPT的翻譯是 It is easy to change the mountains and rivers but hard to change one’s innate nature. 容易改變山河,難改一個人的本質。另外英文有句說 You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. 你可以牽馬到水邊,但是你沒法逼它喝水。都是在說人的改變是不容易的啊。要自願去改才能夠改變吧?
有一種人叫 wet blanket 溼地毯,就是專門喜歡潑冷水的人。潔西也時候也會故意潑一下別人冷水,鬧一下別人。倒不是見不得人好?不過真是有這種人,什麼事都要潑你冷水。不過那也沒關係,他說他的你做你的,自己開心就好,人生最要緊就是自己快樂,沒有妨礙到別人時,管別人怎麼想。單身也好,離婚也好,有小孩也好,沒小孩也好,有錢也好,沒錢也好,各有各的快樂,各有各的苦惱,這就是人生囉 C’est la vie.
晚安晚安。
