    NASA Faces First Legal Claim for Space Debris Damages: Family Seeks Compensation after Home is Hit by Intact ISS Cargo Pallet

    Broke On: Friday, 08 March 2024 In March 2024, the Otero family of Naples, Florida filed the first legal claim against NASA for damages caused by space debris that fell through their roof. The incident involved a section of a cargo pallet carrying used batteries from the International Space Station that remained intact upon reentry and caused significant property damage. No injuries were reported, but the family seeks compensation for emotional distress, property damages, business interruptions, and assistance from third parties. NASA has six months to respond under the Federal Torts Claim Act; failure to do so could set a precedent for future space debris incidents.

      41 workers were trapped in a tunnel in Uttarakhand, India, for 17 days before being successfully rescued. The workers were part of a project to build the Chardham all-weather road, aimed at improving connectivity to various Hindu pilgrimage sites. 'Rat miners', skilled at working in tight spaces, were called upon to assist in the rescue efforts after heavy machinery failed.

    • Rescue Operations Continue for Workers Trapped in Indian Tunnel

      Broke On: Sunday, 26 November 2023
        41 construction workers have been trapped in a tunnel in the Indian Himalayas for over two weeks. The workers were working on the Char Dham highway project, one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's most ambitious projects. High-powered machines initially deployed for the rescue operation failed due to the challenging mountainous terrain. Authorities have now resorted to 'rat mining', a primitive and hazardous method used in India mostly to remove coal deposits through narrow passages. The operation, now on its 16th day, involves vertical drilling through the mountain, a process that could take several days.
