A man who allegedly breached security at Denver International Airport was struck and killed by a Frontier Airlines plane departing late Friday last week, causing an engine fire and a chaotic emergency evacuation that left several passengers injured.A Frontier flight headed from Denver to Los Angeles International Airport reported hitting a pedestrian during takeoff at about 11:19 p.m. local time on Friday, the airport said in a post on Twitter.The horrific video of the incident has gone viral.Airport officials said that an unidentified person had entered the runway area by jumping the perimeter fence just minutes before the collision.According to news agency AP, officials said the man was attacked about two minutes after entering the airport grounds and was not believed to be an airport employee.

Pilot reported engine fire after collision

Audio from ATC.com captures the pilot notifying air traffic control immediately after the collision.“We’re stopping on the runway,” the pilot said. “We just hit someone. Our engine caught fire.”The pilot later told controllers that there were “231 people” on board and that “one person was walking on the runway.”Air traffic control responded that emergency crews were being dispatched.The pilot then reported smoke inside the aircraft and informed the tower that passengers would be evacuated to the runway.Frontier Airlines said the incident involved flight number 4345 and confirmed that the flight was canceled after smoke was seen in the cabin. The airline said there were 224 passengers and seven crew members on board.“We are investigating this incident and gathering more information in coordination with airport and other security officials,” Frontier said in a statement quoted by the AP.

Passengers described panic inside the smoke-filled cabin

The aircraft was evacuated using emergency slides before passengers were taken back to the terminal by buses. Airport officials said 12 passengers suffered minor injuries and five were taken to hospital.Several passengers told local media that panic spread as the plane suddenly stopped and the cabin filled with smoke.“Honestly, I thought I was going to die,” passenger Mohammed Hassan told Colorado’s 9NEWS.“There were a lot of people screaming and crying next to me. I just closed my eyes,” he said. “At that point, you’re not really thinking about anything, you know? Because we were just about to take off and I heard that boom.”Nikil Thalanki, another passenger, said that as the plane prepared to take off, he felt a strong jolt.“The engine was on fire. There were a lot of sparks coming out. Immediately the engine shut down,” he told local outlets, according to the AP.“The cabin was completely filled with smoke. It became very difficult to breathe.”Kimberly Randall also described scenes of chaos during the evacuation.“Within a few minutes they finally opened the doors. People were running to get out of the plane,” Randall said. “There was chaos everywhere.”

NTSB is reviewing the evacuation response

The National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday it was gathering information to determine whether the evacuation required a formal safety investigation.NTSB spokeswoman Sarah Taylor Sulick said the agency was reviewing details of the emergency response, including passenger evacuation procedures.Video from the scene showed some passengers leaving the plane with their luggage, an issue the NTSB has repeatedly raised in previous evacuation investigations.The Denver Police Department said the investigation into the runway death is ongoing, while the identity of the deceased will be released by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.Denver International Airport CEO Phil Washington called the incident a “terrible and preventable tragedy.”“As this is an active investigation with multiple other agencies, this will take some time as we are still confirming what information we can share at this time,” Washington said in a statement.“This was a terrible and preventable tragedy that has affected many people due to the actions of one individual who clearly trespassed at an airport and lost his life as a result.”

The Hague: An artwork looted by the Nazis from the world-famous Goudsticker collection has turned up in the Netherlands in the family of a notorious SS collaborator, Dutch art detective Arthur Brand said on Monday.Describing it as “the most bizarre case of my entire career”, Brand said “Portrait of a Young Girl”, by the Dutch artist Toon Kelder, had presumably hung for decades in the home of Hendrik Seford’s descendants. The case is similar to a discovery that made global headlines in 2025, when a Nazi-looted 18th-century painting – from the collection of the late Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudsticker – was featured in a property advertisement in Argentina.In the Dutch case, Brand said he had been contacted by a man who had recently revealed two terrible secrets: he was a descendant of Sefard, and his family had been exhibiting looted art for years. This family member, who wished to remain anonymous, told Brand that he had seen the painting hanging in the hallway of Seford’s granddaughter, who was murdered by Dutch resistance fighters in 1943.Seferd, one of the highest-ranking Dutch collaborators with the Nazis, commanded a Waffen-SS unit of Dutch volunteers on the Eastern Front. The NYT carried news of his death on its front page in 1943, and a lavish Nazi state funeral was held for him in The Hague, with a wreath laid by Adolf Hitler. Brand said Safford’s granddaughter told a family member that the painting was “Jewish looted art, stolen from Goudstikker. It is not sellable. Don’t tell anyone.”But family members wanted the story public and contacted Brand, who has made a name for himself solving several high-profile cases of stolen art. “I feel ashamed. The painting should be returned to Goudsticker’s heirs,” the family member told daily De Telegraaf. There is a Godsticker label on the back of the painting and the number 92 is engraved in the frame. Brand discovered the records of an auction in 1940, where part of the looted Goudsticker collection went under the hammer and found item number 92: “Portrait of a Young Girl” by Toon Kelder.When the art dealer fled to England in 1940, Hermann Goering, a top Nazi official, looted Goudsticker’s entire collection. Brand speculates that the Dutch collaborator Seferd acquired the painting at a 1940 auction, and it was then passed down through the generations. Lawyers for the Goudsticker heirs confirmed to Brand that the painting was looted and that they have demanded its return.The family member who contacted Brand also wants the painting returned to the Godsticker heirs, but the police are powerless because the theft has passed the statute of limitations.The Dutch Restoration Committee, which advises on looted Nazi art, is also troubled because it cannot force private individuals to return artworks. “Family members see the public display as the only way to hope to return the painting to the Goudsticker heirs where it rightfully belongs,” Brand said.

The Hague: Countries around the world on Monday brought back and quarantined or quarantined passengers from a cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak, including a French woman and an American who tested positive.After the MV Hondius docked in the Canary Islands on Sunday, passengers from the ship began flying home aboard military and government planes. Crews wearing full-body protective gear and breathing masks evacuated passengers from the ship to shore in Tenerife, an effort that continued on Monday.Three cruise ship passengers have died, and at least six hantavirus cases have been confirmed, according to WHO. WHO spokeswoman Sarah Tyler said Monday that laboratory results of the American who tested positive were inconclusive. Health officials say the risk to the broader public from the first outbreak of hantavirus on a cruise ship is low. Although there is no cure or vaccine for hantavirus, the WHO says early detection and treatment improves survival rates. The ship’s captain, Jan Dobrogowski, released a video message on Monday praising the perseverance of the passengers and crew and calling for their privacy to be respected.French Health Minister Stephanie Rist said on Monday that the French woman tested positive for hantavirus and her condition deteriorated in hospital overnight. The woman was one of five French passengers brought back on Sunday. Rist told public broadcaster France-Inter that he developed symptoms on a flight to Paris.U.S. health officials said late Sunday that one of the 18 passengers evacuated from the plane and flown to Nebraska also tested positive for hantavirus but is showing no symptoms, and another had mild symptoms. After landing in Nebraska early Monday, the American passengers were being taken to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, which has a federally funded quarantine facility. Once there, they are being evaluated to determine whether they have been in close contact with any symptomatic people and what their risk level is for spreading the virus.Planes arriving in Tenerife were to carry passengers from more than 20 countries in the evacuation effort which was due to end on Monday. There were 54 passengers and crew left on the ship on Monday, of whom 22 were expected to disembark, while the remaining 32 would remain on the ship upon its return to the Netherlands.

What started off as a conversation about anti-DEI movements and racial politics soon turned into a broader argument about rising tensions over identity, online discourse, and political commentary on streaming platforms.The viral exchange occurred when Hasan Pickler discussed comments related to San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Connie Chan.

Hassanabi gets furious after viewers call him “white baby” on Twitch

During the stream, Hasnabi read part of an online comment that accused him of unfairly targeting Connie Chan over a political disagreement. Responding to the criticism, he argued that anti-DEI campaigns in the United States are connected to larger systems of racial inequality and white supremacy.The discussion took a turn for the worse when a viewer on the chat wrote: “Sometimes you can’t talk like that, white baby.”Hassan reacted immediately and emotionally. “First of all, suck my… …, okay? I’m a devout Muslim American who gets called a… terrorist every day, okay? Are we having a racism Olympics? Are we talking about what kind of racism is institutionally justified? What do you think? Who do you think gets more… …-food on a daily basis?”The clip quickly circulated online, with some viewers defending Hassan’s desperation while others criticized the intensity of his reaction in what was later described as a joke.

Hasnabi defends anti-DEI comments amid backlash

As the conversation continued, Hasan attempted to clarify what he meant during the political discussion. He stressed that his criticism was aimed at the systems associated with white supremacy rather than at Asian Americans themselves.“I’m attacking the concept of tokens being spent in the service of white supremacy. You can’t say ‘white baby’ like that. That’s ridiculous,” he explained.After the viewer made it clear that the message was intended to be humorous, Hassan accepted it but admitted that the situation reflected the deep frustration he felt online. “I know, it’s very frustrating. This idea that I’m some anti-Asian reactionary because I’m saying that the anti-DEI movement, which is really hurting Asian Americans right now, was also, in some ways, deployed by using Asian faces for white supremacy.“He later ended the discussion with a clear summary of his stance. “You know what I think… over? I think white supremacy… is over. I think anti-DEI initiatives are… over. I think racism… is over. And if you’re going to be a willing participant in white supremacist movements, I’m going… over you.”As expected, the exchange has now become another viral flashpoint in the increasingly chaotic world of livestream political commentary.

A Chinese-American professor has sued a Texas university for mentioning the name of Dr Hemang Desai only for favoring Indians while awarding tenure.

Dr. Hsien Wang, a Chinese-American assistant professor, has sued Texas Southern Methodist University over discrimination and favoring only Indians. The lawsuit was filed last year but came to light now after being reported by freelance journalist Chris Brunet. In the lawsuit, Wang alleged that there is a systemic problem of discrimination at the university that resulted in him being denied tenure in 2024, while three Indian professors were given the same salary in the accounting department.According to the lawsuit, the university told Wang he was not a good fit and that he needed more citations and more visibility. The lawsuit says he was called a “bad fit” at least 13 times, but an Indian colleague, Saurabh Thomar, received a positive mid-career evaluation from the department chair, who is also an Indian.The lawsuit names Chairman Dr. Hemang Desai, saying that Wang was informed by Desai on November 19, 2024, that a negative departmental vote (3-1) had taken place, in which all three Indian faculty members voted against his tenure, citing failure to achieve outstanding performance, while the sole non-Indian faculty member voted in favor.Wang said that from the beginning, Desai treated him differently and had higher expectations from him than his Indian colleagues.“Since at least 2006, when Hemang Desai (Indian origin) became a full professor at SMU’s Cox School of Business, there has been a systematic pattern of discrimination in tenure decisions in the accounting department. Of the Indian-origin candidates who met the stated productivity standard of at least four of SMU’s top-tier publications, 100% (2 of 2) had tenure: Neil Bhattacharya in 2008 and Neil Bhattacharya in 2020. Gauri Bhatt. Of the non-Indian-origin candidates (Caucasian and Chinese) who meet the stated productivity standard of at least four of SMU’s top tier publications, SMU has not endorsed any non-Indian candidates for tenure, including Mina Pizzini, Chris Hogan, Jing Pan, Jeff Yu, and others.Dr. Wang. “This pattern is consistent with an ancestry-based preference for Indian-origin candidates and a dislike for non-Indian candidates,” the lawsuit says.

‘Indian faculty get head offices with good ideas’

The lawsuit claims that when offices were reassigned to the department’s new building in the spring of 2024, Indian faculty were given prime offices with good views, while East Asian faculty members were assigned to a “Chinese ghetto” down the hall.The university, while filing its response, denied all the allegations and said that Dr Wang is not entitled to any relief.

Iran warned on Monday that its armed forces were ready to “teach a lesson” to any aggressor after US President Donald Trump rejected Tehran’s latest counteroffer aimed at preserving the fragile Middle East ceasefire.The intense exchange further escalated tensions in the region and disrupted already strained global energy markets due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes.Trump, speaking to reporters in Washington, said the ceasefire was “largely life support” after dismissing Iran’s response to the US-backed resolution as “completely unacceptable”.“The ceasefire is largely on life support, where the doctors come in and say, ‘Sir, your loved one has about a one percent chance of survival,'” Trump said.Responding to Trump’s remarks, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that Tehran is fully prepared for any conflict.“Our armed forces are ready to respond and teach a lesson to any aggression,” Ghalibaf wrote on Twitter. “A bad strategy and bad decisions always lead to bad results – the world already understands this.”Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Tehran’s proposal calls for an end to the US naval blockade of Iranian ports and a halt to military operations “in the entire region”, including Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon. The ministry also called for the release of Iranian assets frozen abroad for years under sanctions.Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei said, “We did not demand any concessions. We only demanded Iran’s legitimate rights.”The standoff has raised concerns over the future of the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has tightened restrictions on maritime traffic and introduced a toll system for ships passing through. US officials have repeatedly warned that allowing Tehran to control the strategic waterway would be “unacceptable”.The crisis has also given rise to fears of wider humanitarian and economic consequences. Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said the current disruption is the “biggest” energy supply shock the world has ever seen.Meanwhile, the United Nations warned that prolonged disruption due to reduced fertilizer exports from Gulf ports could lead to serious food shortages globally. UNOPS Executive Director Jorge Moreira da Silva said the world had only weeks left to avoid a “large-scale humanitarian crisis”.“We could be looking at a crisis that will leave more than 45 million people vulnerable to hunger and starvation,” he said.The conflict has also revived concerns over Iran’s nuclear program. The US and Israel have long accused Tehran of making nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the military operation will continue until Iran’s nuclear facilities are destroyed.
