Portland: An Alaska Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Oregon on Friday after a window and chunk of its fuselage blew out in mid-air, media reports said.

A passenger sent KATU-TV a photo showing what appears to be an exit row missing a door and window. It was not immediately clear if anyone was injured. Alaska Airlines did not immediately return an email from The Associated Press message seeking information.

The flight left Portland for Ontario, California, at 4:52 p.m. but returned just before 5:30 p.m.

KPTV-TV reports photos sent in by a passenger showed a large section of the airplane's fuselage was missing. The FAA did not immediately respond to an email request for information.

The Boeing 737-9 MAX rolled off the assembly line and received its certification just two months ago, according to online FAA records.

Prayagraj: In a unique blend of tradition and technology, Deepak Goel from Prayagraj has introduced a 'digital photo snan' service at the Maha Kumbh for Rs 1,100. The service allows people who cannot physically attend the festival to symbolically cleanse their sins.

In a viral social media video, Goel is seen requesting customers to send their photos via WhatsApp. He then prints the images and dips them in the sacred Sangam waters, promising to complete the ritual within 24 hours. This digital innovation offers a convenient alternative for those unable to travel.

Reactions on social media have been mixed. While some users have found humor in the concept, others view it as a mockery of faith. One user quipped, “Should we also send a list of sins to wash off?” while another joked, “What if the photo drowns—will I still survive?”

Despite the controversy, Goel’s service is being seen as a creative, albeit unconventional, way of participating in the centuries-old ritual from afar.
