Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’m also wildly interested in following this thread. For communication my research group is on Discord but for document syncing, well…we might just have to get back to the drawing board and scale research and collaboration differently…

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy
