Flight turns back to return human heart for transplantation
As the passengers of Southwest Airlines, a US flight, settled on board to fly from Seattle to Dallas on Wednesday, they did not know they had an interesting journey ahead. Midway to Dallas, the passengers heard an announcement from the pilot and staff that the flight was about to turn back to where it departed from– to deliver a human heart! Panicked and shocked, the passengers did not know what to make of the announcement, but later on, mutually agreed that delivering the heart was more important than their delayed schedules! The heart was safely offloaded and delivered to doctors waiting for it, before the flight took off again.

Aerial footage shows killer whales circling female swimmer
An incredibly lucky woman narrowly escaped becoming the prey of three killer whales as she took a swim in a beach in New Zealand. One adult, one juvenile and one calf – the three whales prey on other animals and humans, but thankfully, on the day this woman took the swim, they seemed to only play around her.
