Air India Grounded, US Shoots Drone, Floods Devastate Morocco, Attia Exits

Multiple Global Events Unfold on February 3rd, 2026

A series of significant events unfolded across the globe on February 3rd, 2026, ranging from aviation concerns and military actions to natural disasters and business news. These events highlight the diverse challenges and developments occurring worldwide.

Air India grounded a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner at Heathrow Airport after a pilot reported a "possible defect" with a fuel control switch, according to Sky News. The flight, AI132, was scheduled to depart for Bengaluru on Monday. Air India stated they were prioritizing the pilot's concerns and initiating an immediate inspection. The potential fault was reported on the same model of aircraft that crashed in Ahmedabad last June, raising additional concerns.

In the Arabian Sea, the U.S. military shot down an Iranian-owned drone, Euronews reported. The incident occurred amidst increased American military presence in the region, aimed at countering air threats and securing shipping routes. CENTCOM commander Gen. Brad Cooper emphasized that Iran's "continued nuisance and threats in international waters and airspace would no longer be tolerated." Capt. Tim Hawkins, a CENTCOM spokesperson, provided details of the military confrontation. Tensions between Washington and Tehran have been escalating, contributing to the heightened security measures.

Northern Morocco is facing severe flooding, displacing over 50,000 people, Euronews reported. Sustained rainfall, exceeding 600 mm since September 2025, caused the Loukkos River to overflow, impacting the Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. Authorities reported that nearly half of Ksar El Kebir's population has been displaced. Access to Ksar El Kebir is restricted to outbound traffic, and power cuts have affected several neighborhoods. Schools have been closed due to the flooding, exacerbating the crisis. Emergency camps and rescue operations are underway.

In business news, TechCrunch reported that Dr. Peter Attia, a longevity guru, has stepped down from his role as Chief Science Officer at David Protein. The announcement was made on X by the founder of David Protein. Attia's name recently appeared in over 1,700 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, released as part of a massive file dump, according to The New York Times. Attia, known for his book "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity" and his podcast, was an early investor in the food startup.
