As I look up in the skies, I see terror, A lot of terror. It's time for terror in the skuys flight you dear on Nier, you are a glare at the day off Roger, get off my plane, Proger, Rogers, what's our vector? Victor enough, I have handed with these multi plane snakes on this money right, it's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies on KFI. Well, it's not

only there are airports that are having a meltdowns. France's Civil Acia Aviation Authority said some flights had to be canceled others delayed at the Paris Orley Airport a day after an air traffic control system suffered a break down they said caused substantial disruption. The situation is improving. Airlines have been asked to reduce flights by fifteen percent today.

That's down from forty percent on Sunday. Paris Orly serves domestic and international flights, including to most European countries and to the United States. They said some flights to Spain, Portugal and southern France had to be canceled. As of today, about thirty three million people travel through Paris Orly Airport a year it's that's about half as many as Charles D. Gaul Airport. According to the people who are in the now.

In Luftanza, there was a pilot who got up to go to the bathroom about a half an hour left in his flight. Co pilot says, EXO has the con or whatever they say to each other when one leaves, and then the co pilot fainted. The airbus A three twenty one carrying two hundred passenger six crew members. The

plane's captain was in the bathroom the co pilot fainted.

They did make an unplanned landing in Madrid, where they took

the copilot to the hospital. Luftansa said, it's unaware of the investigation report. It's only Flight Safety department. Again, this thing happened a year ago and we're just hearing about it now. And then finally in Taiwan, passengers bound for the Taiwanese Kinmen Islands, little bit of a shock the ATR seventy two six hundred, little prop. I shouldn't say little,

but it's a prop plane. The metal faring one of the metal panels on the starboard engine starts flapping violently and you can look in and see the engine whirring. That is said. It occurred just after takeoff from an international airport. Those on board the flight were alarmed when the plane began to shake with the turboprop engine looking

out the window. They were stunned. One of the passengers said, the plane started shaking, Everybody looked out the window and began shouting for the flight attendants, they declared an in flight emergency, They turned around, went right back to where they landed or where they took off from, and landed safely. And they're still trying to figure out what caused the mechanical failure, despite the fact that the engine flap was flapping
