At least 33 miners died in a suspected carbon-monoxide leak at a lead and zinc mine in Plateau state, Nigeria, while a Delta Air Lines flight was forced to make an emergency landing due to an unruly passenger. Meanwhile, in Iran, a security official appeared to fire on a crowd at a cemetery, and in Wisconsin, residents are concerned about a proposed AI data center that could impact their land.
The mining tragedy in Nigeria occurred just before sunrise at a site outside the town of Wase, run by Solid Unity Nigeria Ltd, according to witnesses who spoke to the BBC. Toxic gas is believed to have built up underground in poorly ventilated tunnels, causing the workers to collapse just before the end of their night shift. More than 20 other miners were rescued and rushed to the hospital. Mourners attended the funeral prayers and burial of the miners, who were aged between 20 and 40.
The Delta Air Lines incident involved Flight 2557 from Houston's William P. Hobby Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which returned to Houston shortly after takeoff due to the passenger's conduct, a Delta Air Lines spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital. "The safety of our customers and crew is paramount, and Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior," the spokesperson stated.
In Iran, the incident at the cemetery in Abdanan occurred on Tuesday as people gathered to commemorate those killed during the government's crackdown on protesters last month, according to the BBC. Verified video also showed people shouting anti-government chants at events in Tehran and Mashhad.
In Wisconsin, a proposed 600-acre AI data center could potentially impact the land of some residents. Tom Uttech, who has lived on his 52-acre property in Saukville for nearly 40 years, expressed concern about the development. "That kind of scares me because I didn't think I was that old," Uttech said, reflecting on the trees he planted that have grown over the decades, as reported by ABC News. Experts suggest that data centers, which fuel AI and crypto, could threaten the climate.
The internet's evolving language, including buzzwords that shape online experiences, was also a topic of discussion. Terms like "slop" content and shadowbans influence how information spreads, according to Fox News.
