En Airbus A380 – verdens største passasjerfly – sendte mandag ettermiddag ut nødsignal utenfor kysten av Norge. Flyet, som tilhører flyselskapet Emirates i Dubai i De forente arabiske emirater, var på vei fra Dubai til Houston i Texas, da en av passasjerene om bord ble akutt syk, skriver VG.
Dermed måtte flygiganten hastelande på Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen, der ambulanser sto klare til å ta imot den alvorlig syke pasienten.
Flykjempen ble møtt av et stort antall flyspottere og andre interesserte som kom seg til Gardermoen på svært kort varsel. Flyet fortsatte senere mandag den nesten 16 timer lange ferden mot Texas etter et kort stopp i Oslo.

A London restaurant, ‘The Bunyadi’ – which means ‘base’ or ‘natural’ in Hindi, will be first of it’s kind ‘optional-clothing’ place to dine in the British capital city.
A brainchild of Lollipop, the company behind Breaking Bad themed cocktail bar, will open its door for 3 months only in June this year, Storypick.com can report.
In an interview given to IBTimes, the founder of Lollipop, Seb Lyall says, ‘The idea is to experience true liberation. We have worked very hard to design a space where everything patrons interact with is bare and naked. The use of natural bamboo partitions and candlelight has enabled us to make the restaurant discreet, whilst adhering to the ethos behind it. No doubt, this has been the most challenging project for us yet, which makes us very excited about it’
The restaurant will be divided into ‘pure’ which simply put means ‘the naked section’ and the clothed section. Patrons will be provided with lockers, changing rooms and gowns.
The menu is yet to be decided but, will serve vegan and non-vegan.
On the website of the restaurant, 23,000 are have registered to dine in at the restaurant. Needless to say, photography will be prohibited in the restaurant, according to Storypick.com
So, dare to bare it all?
