British Base Jumper's Fatal Plunge from Thai Tower Captured in Harrowing Video

British base jumper Nathy Odinson tragically plunged to his death from a Thailand tower block after illegally climbing to the top of a 29th-floor apartment building in Pattaya. The self-professed 'adrenaline junkie' posted a photo on Instagram on the same day of the fatal jump, showing him gliding through the air. Horrifying footage captured the moment of the leap, which ended in a terrifying death spiral with the parachute malfunctioning. Odinson's body was found on the ground, and police have informed the British Embassy in Bangkok to contact his relatives in the United Kingdom.

Sudanese family's bitter escape from ongoing conflict.

A British family's attempt to flee Sudan amid the ongoing conflict was met with disappointment and frustration as they were unable to board the last British flight out of the country. Despite being advised that her children would be allowed to travel with her to the UK, Azza was told upon arrival at the Coral Hotel in Port Sudan that they could not. The family eventually managed to board a Spanish ship bound for Jeddah, but the experience highlights the challenges faced by those trying to evacuate from conflict zones.
