🌏 In Paris, a new attraction at the Eiffel Tower named “Le vertige de la tour” features a 40-meter-long suspension bridge, 60 meters above ground, connecting two pillars of the structure. It opened on February 19 and will only be available until March 9. This urban bridge, the tallest in France, is on the level of the tower's first floor. Visitors must register via a free QR code to cross the bridge within a reserved time slot. The bridge, equipped with double-layered safety nets, can support up to 30,000 kilograms per square meter, ensuring no risk of accidents or dropped possessions.

🚀 In a tragic incident, an Azerbaijan Airlines flight to Grozny was struck by air-to-ground missiles, mistaking it for a Ukrainian drone, resulting in the aircraft being severely damaged and denied landing in Grozny and a second local airport. The plane was forced to divert to Aktau, Kazakhstan, where it crash-landed, killing 38 of the 67 passengers on board. Survivors Zulfugar Asadov and Aidan Rahimli received medals for merit from Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov for their courage and professionalism during the incident. Kadyrov, a former terrorist, plans to build a memorial in Grozny for the victims. Chechnya has offered financial aid, but Azerbaijan demands an apology and admission of guilt from Russia, which has not happened. Investigations suggest the aircraft, an Embraer, was likely hit by a Pantsir S1 missile, typically used for air defense.
