Collapse During Inauguration Celebration
A newly opened suspension bridge in West Java, Indonesia, collapsed on August 30 as dozens of residents and officials crossed it during its inaugural celebration, sending people tumbling into the river below. The Pongpet Suspension Bridge in Pangandaran Regency gave way when a rope snapped, causing the structure to tilt and throw off those on it. Video footage showed onlookers screaming as people clung to the 196-foot-long bridge, which hovered about 10 feet above the water.
No fatalities were reported, but several people sustained minor injuries and abrasions. Among the injured were Pangandaran Regent Citra Pitriyami, head of the Public Works Department Ling Ling Nugraha Senjaya, and other local officials. The bridge, built to improve connectivity for residents of Margacinta Village, had just been inaugurated earlier that day.
Cause and Aftermath
The Indonesian Army reported that the bridge had become overloaded, causing a load-bearing structure to break. A military spokesman elaborated that more than 50 people crossed simultaneously, exceeding the bridge's specified capacity. This caused a sling rope on the left side to come loose from its main fastener, tilting the bridge. The army emphasized that the bridge's main frame remained intact, with the issue isolated to the left sling rope.
The bridge has since been closed for urgent repairs while officials investigate its structural soundness. Authorities have not yet released a timeline for when the bridge might reopen or what measures will be taken to prevent similar incidents.

Singer Doja Cat has revealed she previously struggled with cocaine and alcohol addiction in a new social media video.
The Grammy Award-winning artist said she has a “disclaimer that I don’t want to make” before opening up about how she “struggled” with cocaine around eight years ago.
She added that she is “well past that.”
In her TikTok video posted online Monday, Doja Cat warned that “undiagnosed mental illness” combined with heavy social media use is an “extreme issue that I think a lot of us don’t understand.”
The 30-year-old also said her struggles with alcohol resulted in spending more time online.
“The best example for my experience is using the internet as a means of validation to the negative thoughts in my head, which were then brought on by drinking alcohol,” she said.
Doja Cat, who has more than 29 million followers on TikTok, is an avid social media user.
Her latest candid video comes after she revealed in March that she had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Whether they’re the result of years of sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, or the ghosts of breakouts past, dark spots and hyperpigmentation are among the most stubborn skincare woes to treat… and they tend to become more noticeable as we get older.
Sure, prescription topicals like tretinoin and hydroquinone can definitely help address pigmentation, but they can also be challenging for sensitive skin, and hydroquinone generally isn’t intended for long-term use.
If you’re looking for a potent over-the-counter option that takes a clinical approach to discoloration without hydroquinone, PCA Skin’s Pigment Gel Pro may be the next best thing.
The dermatologically tested corrective takes a multi-pronged approach to discoloration, targeting existing dark spots while helping defend against the appearance of new ones.
At the center of the formula is PCA Skin’s proprietary SynerPro Complex, which uses multiple pathways to address stubborn pigmentation.
The gel also contains tranexamic acid to help minimize visible discoloration and purified licorice root extract to target uneven tone.
Hexylresorcinol helps brighten while calming the skin, while niacinamide provides additional brightening and barrier-supporting benefits.
PCA Skin Pigment Gel Pro Intensive Dark Spot Corrective According to PCA Skin, you may start to notice visible improvements in discoloration in as little as four weeks with consistent use.
The formula is also suitable for all skin types and tones, including sensitive, acne-prone, and reactive complexions.
If you’re looking for a potent over-the-counter treatment, Pigment Gel Pro packs plenty of pigment-fighting power into one easy step, replacing multiple formulas in one bottle.
Of course, as with any brightening or pigment-inhibiting treatment, daily SPF is non-negotiable—trying to fade dark spots while piling on more unprotected UV exposure is basically the skincare equivalent of mopping the floor while the faucet is still running.
A Delta Air Lines flight was forced to land moments after taking off when its first officer suffered a sudden medical emergency.
Shortly after departing Minneapolis en route to Orlando, Delta Flight 1208 requested and was granted “priority handling” to return to MSP on Monday.
Air Traffic Control recordings published by FlightRadar24 reported there had been a “potential pilot incapacitation” onboard the 25-year-old Boeing 757.
The captain said that the plane, which had 190 people onboard, “wanted to return immediately.”
ATC could then be heard telling Minneapolis airport’s maintenance team that the pilot in question had suffered “numbness in the arms and legs and a racing heart rate in the high 100s.”
In a statement from Delta to NBC5 Chicago, the airline wrote that there was a “medical issue involving a pilot.”
Delta said that “the crew followed established procedures to return to MSP, where the aircraft landed safely.”
It continued, “As safety comes first at Delta, we are focused on supporting the pilot and our customers to ensure onward travel.”

With so many different over-the-counter sleep remedies on the market, it’s hard to distinguish which ones (if any) actually work.
If you’ve had little to no luck with other natural and over-the-counter sleep aids, consider giving Deeps Sleep Patches a try.
The scientist-formulated patches are designed to be placed on your wrist before you get ready to go to sleep and be forgotten about from there.
Deeps Sleep Patch The patches are infused with several calming ingredients, including Shoden ashwagandha and melatonin, formulated to help improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and regulate the body’s natural circadian rhythm.
Once the patch is placed on your wrist, the active layer slowly releases the Deeps formula into your body through your skin.
Deeps Sleep Patches have proven to me that it doesn’t always require taking heavy medication like sleeping pills to get a good night’s sleep (for me).
Read my full review of Deeps Sleep Patches here.
A teenager who once portrayed Serena Williams on screen is about to share the spotlight with her at the S. Open.
Thea Frodin, 17, will make her Grand Slam main-draw debut Tuesday after receiving a wildcard.
The California native earned the spot by winning the USTA Girls’ 18s National Championships and will face Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina in the first round.
Frodin first gained attention at 12, when she was Serena’s on-court body double in the 2021 film King Richard, starring Will Smith as the Williams sisters’ father, Richard Williams.
Demi Singleton played Serena for the rest of the movie.
“I’ve only dreamed of moments like this. The fact that I’m here right now, and able to experience it in real life, is still a little bit shocking to me,” Frodin told the S. Open.
Serena, 44, and Venus Williams, 46, are also set to compete at the tournament after receiving a doubles wildcard.
Frodin has never met the sisters but hopes their paths finally cross.
“That would be incredible. That would be a dream,” she said.
A woman has been hospitalized after suffering a leg injury in a suspected shark attack off Martha’s Vineyard on Monday, authorities said.
Emergency crews were called to Norton Point in Edgartown, Massachusetts, around 1:40 m. after a woman in her late 20s was injured while swimming.
Town Administrator James Hagerty said the wounds appeared consistent with a bite from a shark, but no creature was seen.
The woman’s injuries were considered non-life-threatening, and she did not lose her leg, Hagerty said.
South Beach was closed to swimmers for several hours as officials evaluated conditions and considered whether it was safe to reopen the water.
“The Town appreciates the prompt response of emergency personnel and beach staff,” Hagerty said.
“Beachgoers are reminded to remain aware of their surroundings while in the water and to comply with instructions from lifeguards and any posted beach advisories.”
A 24-year-old Hungarian man allegedly stole a small plane while drunk, triggering a fighter jet response before crash-landing in a sunflower field.
Hungarian police said the man took the Cessna 172 from Kalocsa airport, around 90 miles south of Budapest, and flew briefly before making an emergency landing in the field near Gerjen in Tolna County.
Hungarian Defense Minister Dr. Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi said the aircraft entered the airspace near Paks Nuclear Power Plant, the country’s only commercial nuclear facility, causing two fighter jets to be scrambled.
Despite the rough landing, authorities said the man only suffered minor injuries.
He reportedly walked away from the aircraft, and, according to police, then tried to steal a car from a motorist who stopped to help him.
Police arrested the man before he could flee.
He was taken into custody while investigators examine whether drugs, in addition to alcohol, were involved.
It’s unclear whether the man had any flying experience.
A swimmer was left covered in blood after an otter launched into a vicious, five-minute attack on her in Lake Tahoe.
Lynnette Bellin was paddling near a beach around 8 m. on Sunday when the animal grabbed her leg.
“It kept coming at me with teeth and claws. I tried to push it away, but this thing was relentless,” she wrote, adding, “I made my way to a rock, and it climbed up on the rock and kept attacking me.”
After climbing a larger rock to escape, Bellin scaled a fence and walked barefoot along a nearby trail as the animal circled below.
First responders rushed to the scene after onlookers saw her bloodied hands, face, and legs.
Bellin, who has been swimming in the lake for 25 years, required 38 stitches and rabies shots.
“A Game Warden came to my house to file a report, and they have people out on boats looking for it with plans to trap it,” Bellin said.
Game officials noted otter populations have grown over 15 years, while wildlife experts suggested she may have inadvertently approached a protective mother and her pups.

Two people have died after Grand Canyon National Park was hit by flash flooding over the weekend, destroying trails, bridges and critical infrastructure.
A 46-year-old man, identified by relatives as Texas chiropractor Dr. John Giusti, was found dead Sunday near Crystal Rapids after hiking with two friends.
Park officials recovered a second body Monday but have not released the person’s identity.
Authorities initially feared about 15 people were missing, but officials said all but one have since been accounted for.
Search teams are focusing on areas around the North Kaibab Trail, Bright Angel Campground and the Box.
At least 82 people were evacuated from affected areas.
The storm dumped up to an inch of rain in 30 minutes, sending torrents of water and debris into the Colorado River.
Nearly all footbridges over Bright Angel Creek were destroyed.
Flooding also damaged about 40 percent of the Transcanyon Waterline.
Nearly 30 years after rap legend Tupac Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting, a Las Vegas jury convicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis of first-degree murder on Monday following a roughly two-week trial.
A Las Vegas jury found the former gang leader guilty after a roughly two-week trial.
Davis, 63, the first person convicted in Shakur’s murder, was not accused of pulling the trigger.
Instead, prosecutors portrayed Davis as the mastermind behind the attack in retaliation for Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight beating up Davis’ nephew, according to the Associated Press.
Davis’ own words about the murder became a central part of the prosecution’s case.
In multiple interviews, Davis said he had been in the Cadillac from which the shots were fired and that he had handed the gun to others in the back seat, according to the AP.
He also recounted the shooting in his 2019 memoir.
Davis, who pleaded not guilty, will learn his sentence in October.
He could be sentenced to life in prison.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
