Amidst all the celebrity photos pouring in over the New Year weekend, Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth’s romantic photo grabbed attention. The two welcomed 2024 together. While they haven’t confirmed their relationship, dating rumours have been doing the rounds for a while.

Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth posted a snap from their New Year holiday on their social media handles. The cosy selfie is as adorable as it gets. Check it out here:

They captioned the post, “Happy blessed grateful To magic happiness love laughter unicorns rainbows and fairy dust #happynewyear to you all 2024.”

The snap saw Aditi and Siddharth posing against a scenic backdrop. The location of their holiday has not been revealed.

On the work front, Aditi Rao Hydari was seen in Jubilee and Raj: Divided by Blood. Siddharth was last seen in the Tamil-language film Chithha.

Visuals have emerged showing how over 350 passengers of a Japan Airlines aircraft escaped from the plane after it caught fire on the runway in Tokyo-Haneda airport.

The JAL aircraft, an Airbus A350, had collided with a turboprop aircraft of Japan’s Coast Guard while it was de-accelerating after landing.

Global aviation safety website JACDED posted a video of passengers sliding down the inflatable ramp above one of the wings. One of the engines was still running while the passengers slid down the slide.

All 367 passengers and 12 crew onboard the Airbus plane were evacuated, broadcaster NHK reported. Those onboard included eight children, Kyodo News reported.

There were six people in the coast guard plane. One of them was rescued, while the rest five were killed.

Jiji news agency reported the coast guard plane was scheduled to leave to help with rescue efforts following a massive earthquake in central Japan on Monday. Reports said the plane had just arrived from Sapporo airport on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.

Footage apparently shot by a passenger inside the Airbus aircraft showed flames coming from underneath it before the cabin fills with smoke.

More than 70 fire engines were being deployed, NHK reported.

Japan has not suffered a serious commercial aviation accident in decades. Its worst ever was in 1985, when a JAL jumbo jet flying from Tokyo to Osaka crashed in central Gunma region, killing 520 passengers and crew.

That disaster was one of the world’s deadliest plane crashes involving a single flight.

Videos from inside the Japan Airlines plane that caught fire after colliding with a coast guard aircraft at the Tokyo-Haneda airport today show the anxious moments that passengers went through when the flames were leaping out of the plane’s belly. 

Apparently shot by a passenger, one of the videos from the aircraft’s window shows an orange glow, characteristic of a fire, and smoke emanating from the bottom of the aircraft as it continues to taxi after landing. The soundtrack of the scary few seconds is an amplified sound of the wheels as the plane hurtles down the runway, and what seems to be the ding of the seatbelt sign going on and off. 

The passenger, who posted two videos on X, formerly Twitter, with just one sentence: “I thought I was going to die”. NDTV cannot independently verify the authenticity of the videos, which were posted from the @alto_maple handle.

The other, three-second, video shows smoke inside the cabin and a passenger trying to hold his face mask closer to his mouth and nose. Some other fliers can also be heard shouting. 

All 379 passengers and crew were evacuated before the flames engulfed the entire plane, but there is no clarity yet on how many have been injured. Reports said five people aboard the coast guard aircraft have been killed and one has been injured. 

Japan’s ministry of land, infrastructure, transport and Tourism said it is probing the incident.

The collision at one of the world’s busiest airports comes just a day after a series of earthquakes killed nearly 50 people in the country, marking a tragic beginning of 2024 for Japan. Local media reports said the coast guard aircraft was going to take off for a rescue mission to help people affected by the quakes.
