00:00Airplanes are unanimously accepted as the world's safest transport.
00:05The chances of a crash are super slim, but sometimes you don't even need to board it
00:10to say goodbye to your friends and family forever.
00:13In Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, someone lost their life after being literally sucked into
00:19the running engine of a plane.
00:21KLM Royal Dutch Airlines shared the details, revealing that the unfortunate incident involved
00:27a plane scheduled to fly to Denmark.
00:30KLM confirmed that during a routine operation, a person found themselves in the path of a
00:35running aircraft engine, leading to a fatal outcome.
00:39They also mentioned they're offering support to the passengers and staff who witnessed the
00:43horrifying event.
00:45As of now, there has been no word on who the victim was or whether they were a passenger,
00:50an airport employee, or just someone nearby.
00:54But what we need to learn from this tragic incident is that it's essential to keep
00:57a great distance from the turbine.
00:59Yeah, traveling is not only about relaxation and positive emotions.
01:04It can be about ultimate danger, and even the simplest actions can put your life at risk.
01:09I won't make it long.
01:11Just remember one thing.
01:13Never ever pose for photos in proximity to the rocks.
01:17A 20-year-old guy named Roni Josua Simanjutak was swept out to sea by a huge wave while trying
01:24to snap some vacation pics with his friends.
01:27They were all just hanging out on the beach in East Java, Indonesia, when Roni decided it
01:32would be a good idea to take a picture with the crashing waves at Kadang Tumpang Beach.
01:38Things started off pretty chill.
01:40The water was calm, and some of his friends were swimming near the massive rocks.
01:44But then, out of nowhere, the calm waters turned chaotic.
01:49As Roni poses for the camera, a massive wave suddenly rises behind him.
01:54It hits him hard, knocking him down onto the rocks and dragging him into the rough surf.
02:00At first, some onlookers laugh as he stumbles, but that quickly changes when he disappears under
02:06the water.
02:08Later in the video, the person filming zooms in on something floating away, which people
02:12believe might be Roni.
02:14It's a gut-wrenching sight, as it appears to be his body being pulled out to sea.
02:20Authorities were looking for him for some time, yet all was in vain.
02:24The waves measured between 6.5 and 14 feet, making the rescue efforts really tough, according
02:30to a spokesperson from the Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency.
02:35In October 2024, Roni was still missing.
02:41Ew!
02:42What's that?
02:43Not gonna lie, this flesh-resembling spot looks disgusting, at least to me.
02:49It's a lion's mane jellyfish, and not only does it look off, but it's also terribly dangerous.
02:56One touch can get you into serious trouble.
02:59Now don't get too scared, you're unlikely to see this anywhere except for Australia.
03:06Lion's mane jellyfish are among the largest in the world, with some growing over a meter
03:10wide and having tentacles that can stretch over 32 feet.
03:15These jellyfish can deliver a sting that brings instant pain, although it's not life-threatening.
03:22Scientists claim that while lion's manes aren't the most toxic jellyfish out there, their sting
03:27can certainly hurt, especially for kids.
03:31Also, when traveling to exotic locations, make sure to keep your ears open, especially
03:37if you know there are volcanoes nearby.
03:41The pulsating sound can tell you beforehand that there's a volcano ready to erupt.
03:46A couple's trip to Iceland took an unexpected turn when they had to evacuate Blue Lagoon due
03:51to a volcano warning.
03:53They thought they were in for a relaxing day at the famous spa when the alarms suddenly
03:58went off because of nearby volcanic activity.
04:01When the couple checked in, the staff warned them about a possible eruption and told them
04:06to gather their things if they heard alarms, but they figured it was just a precaution.
04:11So when the alarm actually sounded, the couple was completely taken aback.
04:17There was smoke, lava, ashes, they saw it all, and they even managed to share a video on TikTok,
04:24which got 9.3 million views.
04:27Thankfully, they made it back to their cruise ship.
04:30The couple was on an epic Royal Caribbean cruise that stopped in Iceland as part of a
04:34nine-month global journey.
04:37Good news!
04:38According to the travelers, the staff at Blue Lagoon made the evacuation quick and calm,
04:43so they're real professionals.
04:46The eruption happened on August 22, 2024, on the Reykjanes Peninsula and marked the sixth
04:52volcanic event in the area since December.
04:56Now, I know that water is life, but not all forms of life are friendly.
05:01Some of them can be pretty hostile.
05:04A swimmer had a super chill run-in with a giant eel while taking a dip off the coast of Jupiter,
05:09Florida.
05:10So what should you do if you see one?
05:13Just back up.
05:14Don't get too excited or nervous.
05:16Just back up without drawing too much attention to you.
05:19The eel in question wasn't being aggressive at all, it was just curious.
05:24But in general, moray eels, and that's the one they saw, can bite if startled.
05:29Thankfully, their bites aren't lethal.
05:31But anyways, who wants to be bitten in the middle of a peaceful swim?
05:35Boy, look at that.
05:38This lady's feet are purple.
05:40If you wonder how this is related to trips, well, that's simple.
05:44The lady got her feet and ankles like that during her trip to Mexico.
05:48And this looks by no means healthy.
05:51So, what exactly happened to her?
05:54Initially, she thought it was just a bad sunburn, but nope.
05:57It turned out to be a severe allergic reaction.
06:00These can throw a wrench in your vacation plan, so make sure to pack a health kit with all the
06:06needed meds, especially those that might be hard to find where you're going.
06:11When traveling, it's also smart to be cautious about what you eat.
06:15Contaminated food or drinks can lead to some pretty unpleasant issues.
06:20The main tip here is to stick to hot foods, which are usually safe, as well as packaged
06:25snacks and bottled or canned drinks.
06:29You should keep an eye on both your health and your belongings while traveling, because
06:34even the rich and famous get robbed easily.
06:37The 2024 Paris Olympics grabbed attention not just for the sports, but also for a high-profile
06:43theft that left a Qatari princess empty-handed when her pricey Hermes Birkin bags went missing.
06:50This incident, reported by French media, happened on July 28 while she was traveling on a TGV
06:56train from Nice to Paris, getting ready for the Olympics.
07:00Al-Mayasa bint Hamad al-Tani, who is either the emir of Qatar's sister-in-law or sister,
07:07lost her stash of luxury bags, which were said to be filled with diamonds and expensive
07:11watches.
07:13She was traveling with just her maid and no security, which raised eyebrows about her safety
07:18measures for such valuable items.
07:21After realizing the bags were gone, staff on the train tried to help, stopping for about
07:2520 minutes at the Toulon station to look for them, but they came up empty.
07:31Authorities believe the thief might have escaped in Toulon.
07:34The local criminal court is launching an investigation.
07:38French officials were tight-lipped about the investigation and there were no updates
07:41on the value of the stolen items.
07:44Meanwhile, the French National Railway Company reminded everyone that they aren't responsible
07:49for lost or stolen belongings.
07:50It's up to passengers to keep an eye on their stuff.
07:55A travel influencer had quite the jaw-dropping experience when he stumbled upon what he dubbed
08:01a Jurassic Park dinosaur, chilling in his hotel pool during a trip to Bali.
08:06He captured in a video a massive reptile making itself at home in his pool in Kangoo.
08:13The influencer in question, Daniel Thomason from Norway, later found out it was actually
08:18a water lizard related to the Komodo dragon, but significantly smaller and less dangerous.
08:24He was shocked to learn it was just a baby since the adults can grow up to 6.5 feet long.
08:31Komodo dragons are the largest lizards on the planet, mostly found on Komodo Island and
08:36a few nearby areas in Indonesia.
08:38They can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh around 300 pounds.
08:48That's it for today.
