The marine told investigators he found the round in the field about a year ago and kept it, thinking it wasn't live. Due to extensive rust and corrosion, the round's original identifying paint markings were no longer visible, making it difficult to determine whether it was an inert training munition or a live explosive device.

A pilot at Aer Lingus threatened to go on hunger strike unless the airline disclosed information about alleged toxic fume incidents and agreed to pay him €3 million.

In the early morning hours, the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority halted flights as a precaution. The Dubai Media Office later confirmed that the situation was "under control" and that the fire had not spread. However, several flights were diverted while emergency teams responded to the incident.

Data from Flightradar24 showed 65 flights were diverted to 34 airports across Europe, Asia, and Africa. 22 of those were so-called flights to nowhere, where passengers ended up back at the airport from which they departed. At 10 hours and 38 minutes, Emirates Flight 76 from Paris appeared to be the longest one.

In-flight Wi-Fi is roughly on par with hotel or airport Wi-Fi. It's not automatically unsafe, but it's not something you should blindly trust either. You're on a shared network with hundreds of other people, and you don't know how well it's segmented or monitored.
