Virgin Orbit attempted to carry out the first satellite launch from the United Kingdom on Monday with the first LauncherOne mission out of Spaceport Cornwall. LauncherOne was dropped from Virgin’s Cosmic Girl carrier aircraft off the coast of Ireland at approximately 23:11 UTC, and flight appeared nominal through stage 2 ignition and fairing separation, although updates from Virgin Orbit during the flight were intermittent.
Monday’s launch would have marked the first orbital mission to begin from UK soil, demonstrating the air-launched LauncherOne vehicle’s ability to fly from almost anywhere in the world. Although it launched from the UK, the rocket is of US design and construction, and the launch has been procured under a contract between Virgin Orbit and the US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
The payload announced for Monday’s launch consists of nine small satellites — although with the involvement of the NRO and several other military organizations, additional classified payloads cannot be ruled out. The primary payload was Prometheus-2, a pair of CubeSats that was to conduct a technology demonstration mission for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and allied governments. Other payloads included other missions for British government and private organizations, most in collaboration with international partners, as well as a Polish CubeSat and the first satellite for the Sultanate of Oman.

At least 68 killed in Nepal's worst air crash in three decades
At least 68 people were killed on Sunday when a domestic flight of Yeti Airlines crashed in Pokhara in Nepal, the worst air crash in three decades in the small Himalayan nation.
Hundreds of rescue workers scoured the hillside where the flight carrying 72 people from the capital Kathmandu went down. Officials late in the evening called off the search operations for the day, saying they will resume on Monday.
Local TV footage earlier showed rescue workers scrambling around broken sections of the aircraft. Some of the ground near the crash site was scorched, with licks of flames visible.
The weather had been clear and there was no immediate indication of what caused the crash.
It was Nepal's deadliest air crash since 1992, the Aviation Safety Network database showed, when a Pakistan International Airlines Airbus A300 crashed into a hillside upon approach to Kathmandu, killing all 167 people on board.

Lowered standards among the Airline Industry ?
e.g. case of United Airlines Boeing 777-200 - Hawai'i, etc
It is not about a crash - but came close to a crash when an airplane right after start, plummeted 1400 feet in 18 seconds, only 800 feet shy above the surface of the Pacific Ocean on 18 Dec 2022.

I read about it five days ago at aviation24.be, but then decided not to write about it here. Until I just saw an article which brought up, that Tucker Carlsson sounded the alarm that "many people are going to die because of this", in the sense of that the airlines are "increasingly lowering hiring standards for pilots and for air traffic controllers".

Another example was a near crash of two airplanes at Austin, Texas Airport on 5 Feb 2023 only 100 feet apart, one aircraft was landing, the other was about to take off. Tucker Carlsson says Houston instead of Austin airport, so i am not sure which one he actually is referring to).

My personal thought
went into the direction of a possibility that the combination of pilots facing lowered requirements, lowered medical screening and the fact that most of the are jabbed with Covid 19 injections - which can cause (and does cause for some) neurological damages in the brain - which can proceed very slowly - possibly altering the performance of pilots. Also; not every incident needs to be reported to the NTSB, but stays within the airline (!).
Airlines are already trying to hide that jabbed pilots are posing a safety risk, and supposedly have lowered the medical test standards a little bit so that this doesn't become so obvious (If all pilots would have their blood and hearts tested, it wouldn't look good for the airline, as many wouldn't fulfil the hard medical requirements for the profession as a pilot. Too many would have to leave...

Tucker Carlson Sounds the Alarm: 'Many People Are Going to Die Because of This'
On Tuesday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson drew attention to the dark side of the left’s prioritization of equity over merit in corporate hiring decisions. And nowhere is this growing trend more frightening — and potentially deadly — than in the airline industry.
In the video below, he pointed out that airlines are “dramatically lowering hiring standards for pilots and for air traffic controllers” and warned that “at some point, many people are going to die” as a result.
Carlson described several “near disasters” that have occurred in just the past few months that should have all Americans concerned about the aviation industry’s adoption of these new standards.
Last Wednesday, for example, a United Airlines flight was just about to touch down at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, when a second plane began taxiing right into its path. The United pilot then “aborted the landing so dramatically that people on board were terrified.”
Carlson read an account of the situation written by a veteran United Airlines pilot in December. He provided some chilling details about the consequences of the airlines’ walk on the woke side.
“[Name redacted] just told me about a B-triple-seven off Maui that almost crashed two nights ago ***.
[ *** Edit: This must be possibly an error. The event happened on 18 Dec 2022, according The Aviation Herald - and here the flight at flightware.com. Also the numbers in the article are a bit sketchy. The airplane went down to 755 feet elevation, not 300 feet above the water said in the article]

Track United (UA) #1722 flight from Kahului to San Francisco Int'lflightaware.com
About the report filed by the pilots on the flight between Kahului,HI to San Francisco,CA (USA) on 18 Dec 2022
The article continues:
Both pilots became disoriented and pulled out of a dive 300 feet above the water, pulling two and a half G’s. …”
“I’m just home from Denver training center. There are some real horror stories out there about United, but management is hell-bent on just ignoring what is going on. The investigation is still on-going. … but the Captain of the Maui flight was brand new. There was a new-hire First Officer, and my understanding is that we almost lost an airplane for no good reason. Both have been sent back to go through the 4-week course.
“The new-hire first officer on my fleet is a nightmare. It took him 50 hours to get through Initial Operating Experience. Worse yet, talking to his instructor, out of his 25 landings in the simulator, 15 ended up in the dirt. Not one of them was on the centerline of the runway. They said his radio work is like that of a private pilot. He has no situational awareness.
“I’m jump-seating to SFO right now. A United B-triple-seven first officer is next to me. She said the training is totally inadequate for new hires. Her husband helps train them at [United’s in-house training academy] Aviate. He’s constantly asking these kids who come in, ‘has anyone told you what this is?’ Many have no idea what they’re getting into. They’re hiring people straight out of high school now. Zero aviation knowledge or desire. It’s just about the money and adhering to ESG.”
The situation is not unique to United Airlines — it’s happening industry wide.
Carlson cited Southwest Airlines, which has also lowered its hiring standards. Many graduates of their in-house training program, Destination 225, go on to work for Swift Air, “which is under contract from the Biden administration to fly illegal aliens around the country without the American population knowing about it.”
He told viewers that last year, a newly hired Southwest pilot “hit the runway so hard on landing that a crew member was gravely injured.”
Although it’s never a good idea to put equity ahead of merit in any hiring decisions, few would argue this practice makes sense in the airline industry where a minor pilot error could result in the deaths of hundreds of passengers.
Unfortunately, these incidents — the “near misses” — aren’t being reported by the media. I’m pretty sure even liberals are more interested in making it to their destination safely than they are in the race or the gender of the pilot.

It is curious. I must say, but there was also bad weather in that area.

What I find fascinating with that massive black cloud coming from a crashed helicopter is, when it is compared with "Flight 93 crash in Shanksville" in 2001 and it's ridiculous small, fluffy, fast ending explosion cloud coming from a "Boeing 757 aircraft"...

A bird? With a Pterodactylus I guess. Joke asides, there had been several plane accidents including birds, wanted to know what kind of bird, though. The study is rather about - skimming it - in respect to the type of aircraft and human fatalities.
