WHAT TO DO, WHEN... : IndiaTravelTimes does not guarantee the
authenticity of the video (above) of the episode of the flight turbulence at
Durgapur airport on May 1, yet this is being put out with a view to
familiarising the ordinary fliers with such probabilities lest they are
caught unawares and fail to react rationally to handle such terrible
situations. The 'eternity' can last up to 15 minutes. Tighten your belts,
believe in your pilot and shift your thoughts to reduce disabling anxieties!
Rest assured, the aircraft can rock and fall but not more than a hundred
feet anyway.
During the event, nearly 50 other people, including bull tamers and spectators,
were also injured. Jallikattu is a bull-taming sport, which has been part of the
festival of Pongal in Tamil Nadu.
Whole localities are sent into quarantine in China using force if someone is
symptomatic of covid. The quarantines are metal boxes set up in far away
camps. The authoritarian regime is resorting to draconian methods to check a
new wave of the epidemic in the country that has already locked down three
cities currently. On the other hand, the US presents a contrasting scenario
where in the name freedom large sections of people refuse vaccination and
assault health workers who mandate the covid restrictions.

Can we ask the vaccinator, "Do you pull back the plunger and
then push the vaccine? Do you Aspirate?" When the vaccination
for covid started there were reports of worrisome incidents of
adverse events post immunisation, the serious complaints being
non-specific blood clots. These related to viral vector vaccines of
human and non-human source: AstraZeneca and Janssen. How
did it happen. There are various views. But here is a suggestion
how simply it can be prevented.
Marking a fierce but interesting competition among the
billionaires, adventure specialist Richard Branson launched
commercial space travel from his 'Spaceport America' on Sunday,
pipping the world's richest man, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, to the

first private space tourist nine days earlier than his rival.

While the rationalists debunk the episode as a ploy to make up for
the losses in offerings during the corona lockdown, the believers
stick to their claim, they have seen it after all! The claim of
Shankaralinga temple resembles the miracle of Ganesha drinking
milk in Delhi way back in 1995. Although they belong to two
different branches of science.
