A man has been charged with criminal intimidation for allegedly threatening to kill a cabin crew member and grabbing a passenger on a flight to Singapore. Kolathu James Leo, a 42-year-old Indian national, was on Scoot flight TR3 travelling from Sydney to Singapore on Feb 27, according to court documents. He was charged in court on Tuesday (April 1) with one count each of using criminal force, criminal intimidation and being intoxicated onboard, jeopardising good order of an aircraft. Kolathu was allegedly drunk on the flight when he began shouting loudly. Between 11.59am and 12.10pm that day, he also allegedly attempted to detach a seat pocket and hit the seat in front of him. Kolathu is also accused of behaving aggressively when cabin crew intervened. He allegedly grabbed the wrist of a male cabin crew and verbally threatened to kill him at around 5pm. Kolathu complied only after he was told that the flight would return to Sydney if he continued with his disruptive behaviour, the police said on March 31. 

More lives can be saved in Myanmar, Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Operation Lionheart team leader Colonel Tay Zhi Wei said on Tuesday (April 1). The Operation Lionheart team, which comprises rescuers from the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team and national servicemen among others, is involved in the rescue operations in the capital Naypyidaw from Saturday (March 29) morning following a 7.7 magnitude earthquake last Friday which has killed over 2,700 people. The team successfully freed a man from a collapsed building on Sunday after an eight-hour operation by cutting through the rubble before taking him to a local hospital. Speaking with media on Tuesday via a Zoom call, Col Tay said that one more person, a 60-year-old lady, was rescued on Tuesday morning, after the crucial 72 hours had passed since the start of the disaster. That period is crucial in a disaster — because after that, chances of survival are slim, he said. The lady was extricated from the rubble on Tuesday morning by local fire service before the SCDF arrived on scene, Col Tay said.

A significant earthquake swarm is currently underway along the Sundhnúkagígar crater row, with clear signs that magma is moving beneath the surface. GPS data and pressure measurements in boreholes indicate that a magma run has begun, increasing the likelihood of a volcanic eruption.

An eruption has begun on the Reykjanes Peninsula, the eleventh in just over four years and the eighth since December 2023.

A volcanic eruption broke out just north of the Grindavík defense wall at 10:00 AM this morning, following an intense earthquake swarm in the area. While the eruption was anticipated, its initial strength has come as a slight surprise to experts.

The proximity of the volcanic fissure to Grindavík can be seen in the video that a mbl.is photographer recently captured from the air.
