28.11.2025 ⇢ The Day Airbus Planes Grounded
⌨
November 28 began with UK media focused on the rising death toll from the Hong Kong fire, which reached 94 in the morning and 128 by late morning, with rescue efforts concluding. Early afternoon coverage saw intense focus on a shooting in Washington DC where a National Guard member died, alongside reports of Trump's plan to recognize occupied Ukraine as part of Russia. Later in the afternoon, Zelensky's chief of staff resigned following an anti-corruption raid on his home. The evening then shifted significantly to major travel disruption, with thousands of Airbus planes deemed unsafe due to a software issue, leading to widespread flight modifications and warnings of disruption for passengers.
