Multiple drivers have been forced out just two hours into the Mount Panorama endurance race.

He is yet to be formally identified.

A PACKED UK-bound flight was forced to turn back and make an emergency landing when passengers and crew became sick at 30,000ft.

Toxic fumes made a dozen travellers and five British Airways staff ill one hour after take-off.

Passengers panicked and the captain decided to return to Dubai airport, where paramedics and firefighters lined the runway as BA Flight 0108 touched down.

A passenger said: “It was clear there was little preparation for such an event.”

The Sun understands the five crew members needed ongoing medical attention.

BA called the incident “a minor technical issue”.

Last month a British Airways plane was dramatically struck by lightning as devastating floods wreaked havoc across Brazil’s largest city.

The Airbus A350 was parked at São Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport when it was directly hit on its vertical stabilizer during a massive storm.

Incredible footage from Friday shows the electrifying moment as the lightning bolt connected to the fuselage for several seconds.

The plane, en route to London Heathrow, was delayed for inspections, while 21 other flights were redirected due to the severe weather.

Despite the shocking scenes, aviation experts confirmed to Brazilian media that lightning strikes on planes are common and generally harmless.

That’s thanks to advanced safety features that shield passengers from electrical discharge.

MANCHESTER UNITED wantaway star Marcus Rashford is close to finalising a loan move to Aston Villa.

United boss Ruben Amorim has frozen Rashford out of his squad and suggested he is so unhappy with the way the player trains he’d rather pick 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital ahead of him.

And now the star forward is on the brink of completing a loan move to Villa until the end of the season.

The Villans are reportedly covering the majority of Rashford‘s staggering £325,000-a-week wages and are also offering performance-related bonuses.

The England international appears keen on the move as there was a lack of expected interest from top European clubs.

Plus, Villa would be able to offer the 27-year-old Champions League football while maintaining his high wages.

A United insider said: “Marcus always said he would never play for another club in England because he is a United fan.

“He started to think he needed to move earlier this season and wanted to go to a big European club.

“The reality is he’s not had the interest he expected. Villa first showed a tentative interest in him last November.

“Amorim has made it very clear he has no future at Old Trafford.

“Villa have managed to offer him two things — keeping his wage the same and Champions League football.”

Rashford hasn’t played for United since December 12 with Amorim leaving him out of the squad for every game since apart from one, in which he was an unused substitute.

The versatile winger was told he would never play for Man Utd again as long as the Portuguese tactician is in charge.

RYAN Reynolds created a woke feminist character in his latest Deadpool film to mock his wife’s court rival co-star, legal papers allege.

He even had the character shot dead by Ladypool, voiced by his wife Blake Lively, who is locked in a £320million defamation battle with Justin, 41.

Nicepool also had a man bun hairstyle like Justin and referenced alleged comments at the centre of their dispute.

The scenes in Deadpool & Wolve-rine “were intended to be a transparent, mocking portrayal of Reynolds’ warped perception of Baldoni”, the legal documents allege.

The claims are in a 224-page filing by Justin’s lawyers as the defamation case potentially heads to court in New York tomorrow.

Justin fell out with Blake, 47, on the set of This Ends With Us, with both sides accused of trashing the other’s reputation.

According to the legal papers, Mr Reynolds “demanded” that Mr Baldoni apologise for the treatment of his wife.

Mr Baldoni claims that the Nicepool scenes “were intended to be a transparent and mocking portrayal of Reynolds’ warped perception of Baldoni”.

The Nicepool character even referenced issues which had come up during the filming of This Ends With Us, it was claimed.

The document states: “Nicepool commented inappropriately on a female character’s attractive body after childbirth and excused his remark by claiming he identified as a feminist.

“Nicepool also made reference to an ‘intimacy coordinator’ and even used a hairstyle that mirrored Baldoni’s previously longer hair”.

The outlay would pay the annual salary of 83 private soldiers earning £25,200 a year.

One car for defence officials cost £4,500 for a 1,060-mile return journey from barracks in Chepstow to Inverness.

Another staff round trip from Loughborough to Scotland’s east coast set the cash-strapped MoD back by £3,500.

Our investigation, using Freedom of Information laws, also revealed a £3,000 car ferried officials around the country then back to the Midlands.

William Yarwood, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, called it a “pointless waste” of money.

It comes as experts warn the UK is vulnerable to attack due to lack of investment in the Armed ­Forces.

Former MP and Defence Committee chair Tobias Ellwood said: “If people were aware of how vulnerable we are, there would be a greater outcry to spend more on defence.”

The MoD blamed the previous government. It said: “We are committed to securing value for money for taxpayers and cracking down on waste.”

THE third soldier on board the doomed Black Hawk military helicopter which crashed into an American Airlines plane has been named.

Female co-pilot Rebecca Lobach, 28, tragically died in the midair collision alongside 66 others including two fellow soldiers and 64 passengers and crew on the jet.

Her identity was revealed by the US Army as they praised her loyalty and achievements for her country.

Captain Lobach was an aviation officer in the Army between July 2019 up until her death on Wednesday.

During her almost six years of service, she had been awarded the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal and Army Service Ribbon

Lobach also worked as a White House aide under the Biden administration in the years prior to the tragic crash.

One of her heartbroken friends said just last month Lobach escorted Ralph Lauren through the White House as he accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

A heartfelt statement from her family was issued through the US Army, it read: “We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca.

“She was a bright star in all our lives. She was kind, generous, brilliant, funny, ambitious and strong.

“No one dreamed bigger or worked harder to achieve her goals.”

Her friends described her to CBS 17 News as “golden” and said she was a bright light, a capable pilot, and always a good friend.

Lobach was from Durham, North Carolina and had a degree in biology from the University of North Carolina, said her pals.

The other two soldiers on the Black Hawk when it plunged into the icy river were identified earlier this week as Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, 39, and Staff Sergeant Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28.

The body of one of the men and a woman, believed to be Lobach, have been recovered from the Potomac River so far, a law enforcement source close with the recovery efforts told CBS News.

Officials say the military aircraft was flying in the middle of an American Airline’s descent path over Washington DC.

All 60 passengers on the plane, including four crew members, died after it erupted into a fireball and shattered into three pieces due to the chilling impact.

Both aircraft plunged into the river as emergency operations were launched.

Hopes for survivors quickly faded as rescue crews worked through the night in dark, cold conditions.

After just a few hours the mission changed from a rescue to a recover operation with all passengers feared dead.

Officials confirmed there are no survivors – marking it the deadliest US air crash since November 2001.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy admitted the crash was “absolutely” preventable as investigations were quickly launched into the cause of the disaster.

Black boxes that could hold crucial clues have been dredged up from the plane wreckage in the Potomac River.

Officials say a preliminary report is expected to be issued within 30 days as divers continue to recover pivotal debris.

But as the nation grieves, frustrated families of the victims are demanding answers over how what should have been a routine flight to Ronald Reagan Airport ended in disaster.

It later emerged at least two other pilots reported near-misses with helicopters while landing at the airport in the last three years.

A passenger flight even had to abort a landing at the airport just a day before the tragedy.

Republic Airways Flight 4514 was forced to back out of touching down and had to make a second approach after a helicopter appeared near its flight path, the Washington Post reported. 

Duffy yesterday said he agreed with Donald Trump that the crash “looks like it should have been prevented”.

He insisted, however, there was “not a breakdown” in communication between the helicopter’s pilots and the American Airlines flight.
