New Delhi CNN —At least 22 people, including women and children, have died after a boat capsized in India’s southern Kerala state on Sunday, fire officials said, as search and rescue operations enter a second day. The boat, which was ferrying tourists, capsized near Tuvalthiram beach in Malappuram around 7:30 p.m. local time, the district’s fire department told CNN. Rescuers carry out search operations on Monday, May 8, after a tourist boat capsized in Malappuram, Kerala, India. “Pained by the loss of lives due to the boat mishap in Malappuram, Kerala,” a tweet from Modi’s office said Sunday. Kerala, known for its lush forests, beaches and backwaters, is a popular tourist destination for many Indians and foreigners alike.

The network camera was drawn to Pat Riley after Jimmy Butler’s 22-foot jumper landed like a kick to the collective groin of the Milwaukee Bucks late in Game 4 of Miami’s first-round playoff series upset. While Butler, soon to complete a 56-point masterpiece, pranced in full-throated fashion, there sat Riley, a gray-haired Buddha, arms folded across his suit jacket and tie, smiling without celebrating, blinking but not moving. By this point in a long basketball life, what has Riley not already seen that would make him compromise on his veneer of calculated, unflappable control? Circulating online, the clip was another striking visual to add to the Riley collection. From the 1966 national championship game in which a Texas Western squad dominated by Black players defeated his all-white Kentucky team to his tenured role as the Heat’s president, Riley has been tethered to basketball history of tectonic magnitude.

Dec 8 (Reuters) - In a monastery in central Myanmar, a Buddhist monk, Wathawa, rallies his militia with a cry: "What's our spirit like?" shout a group of rifle-bearing men, loyalists of the military junta that seized power last year, now fighting to crush fledgling pro-democracy groups. Myanmar's Buddhist clergy previously sought to topple successive military dictatorships that kept citizens impoverished and isolated. Myanmar monks teach laypeople who in turn provide them with essentials such as food and clothing. State media broadcasts have shown military commanders showering Wathawa and his militia with cash and food donations.

Prin urmare, dacă pentru restul lumii vine anul 2021, în Thailanda vine 2564. Calendarul Solar Hijri se bazează pe anotimpurile astronomice, ceea ce îl face mai precis decât calendarul gregorian.

Пилоты Buddha Air ошиблись в пункте назначения и случайно увезли пассажиров не в тот город. 18 декабря на борту рейса из Катманду находились 69 пассажиров, которые думали, что летят в Джанакпур на юго-востоке страны. Рейсы в Покхару выполнялись только до трех часов дня, после чего авиакомпании изменили номера рейсов и переназначили пассажиров в Джанакпур. Хотя с документацией все было правильно, пилотов никто не проинформировал, и они отправились в другой пункт назначения. Однако пассажиры прибыли в первоначально запланированный пункт назначения в тот же день.

O cursă internă a companiei aeriene Buddha Air din Nepal a transportat pasagerii într-o destinație greșită, informează CNN. Odată ce Budhha Air a realizat că a transportat pasagerii în altă destinație, aceștia au fost îmbarcați la loc în avion și au zburat către Janakpur. Nu există zboruri directe între Pokhara și Janakpur, dar Buddha Air a primit permisiunea pentru a efectua cursa. Buddha Air este o companie privată nepaleză care a început să opereze curse aeriene în 1997. În 2019, o cursă British Airways care decolase din Londra și se îndrepta spre Dusseldorf a zburat din greșeală la Edinburgh.
