Today's news and jokes

@dailymailuk This is the dramatic moment firefighters in full hazmat gear boarded a British Airways flight from London after it made an emergency landing in Italy. Melanie Wells, 61, was on the flight which had set off from London Gatwick with her 19-year-old daughter Imogen for an eight-day luxury break in Egypt. Shortly after boarding, Melanie says she began to feel unwell and initially blamed it on the temperature in the plane. However, she claims the situation spiralled as travellers and cabin crew also became sick with staff going into 'full panic mode'. The aircraft was forced to divert to Venice where emergency services rushed to the tarmac with hazmat teams boarding in breathing apparatus and scanning equipment. #flight #britishairways #hazmatsuit #emergency #news ♬ original sound - Daily Mail UK

A write up of the recently completed Pursuit scavenger hunt in San Francisco

Boone Ashworth for Wired:

On a Wednesday night in August, hundreds of people gathered in the lobby of Apple Cinemas in central San Francisco. To gain admission to the event, attendees had to say a secret code word to the crew working the door: three giggling children wearing oversize “SECURITY” caps.

...

This was the grand finale of Pursuit, a citywide scavenger hunt that took place for several weeks throughout San Francisco.

...

This is the second citywide Pursuit game; the first was held in the summer of 2024, and 300 people showed up for the finale. The scavenger hunt is funded in part by FranciscoSan.org, a grant initiative started by an anonymous benefactor that has allotted $100,000 to fund local efforts to “make the city and county of San Francisco more whimsical through eventures [sic] and installations.” The rest of the funding came from the organizers, a group of 20 or so friends.
