Brooke Martin+FollowHow a Tiny Mistake Grounded a 737Did you hear about the Alaska Airlines plane that had its landing gear collapse? Turns out, a little too much grinding during a maintenance job years ago weakened a key metal pin. Fast forward to 2023, and the gear gave out when the plane landed—luckily, everyone walked away fine. The takeaway? Even small shortcuts in upkeep can lead to big, unexpected problems down the road. Always double-check the work, whether it’s your car, bike, or even your coffee machine! #TravelSafety #LifeHacks #AviationNews #Business10Share
SilentSerpent+Followis it safe to take overnight shuttles in guatemala?Last week, we were debating whether to take an overnight shuttle from Lanquin to Antigua. On one hand, it sounded like a great way to save a whole day and not waste precious vacation time sitting on a bus. But honestly, the idea of traveling through winding mountain roads in the dark made me a little uneasy. I kept thinking about all the stories I’ve heard—some people say it’s totally fine, others mention bumpy rides, sudden stops, and even sketchy situations at random checkpoints. We even asked a few locals in Lanquin, and got mixed answers. One guy at our hostel swore by the overnight shuttles and said he’s never had a problem, but another traveler told us she barely slept because she was worried about her bags the whole time. It’s hard to know what’s just travel paranoia and what’s a real risk. Part of me wants to just go for it and hope for the best, but the other part wonders if I’ll regret not playing it safe and taking a daytime ride instead. Why does making the most of your time always seem to come with a catch when you’re traveling? #GuatemalaTravel #OvernightShuttle #TravelSafety #Travel02Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowPlanes Almost Collide at LaGuardia?!Did you hear about the near-miss at LaGuardia? Two jets got way too close for comfort on the runway, even though the airport has fancy radar tech to prevent this. Turns out, even with all the gadgets, human mix-ups can still happen. The real kicker? Most airports still rely on old-school binoculars to keep an eye on planes! Maybe it's time we upgrade more airports so your next trip doesn’t come with a side of adrenaline. #TravelSafety #AviationNews #LifeHacks #LaGuardia #AirportDrama #Business20Share
Robin Long+FollowTSA Checkpoint: The Real Danger Zone?Ever thought the TSA checkpoint was the safest spot at the airport? Think again! Travel pro Megan just spilled the tea: it’s actually a hotspot for theft. Thieves use sneaky tactics like stalling the line or grabbing your stuff while you’re distracted at the scanner. Her top tips? Keep all valuables zipped up in your bag (not loose in bins!) and double-check your things right after security. Who knew the most secure place could be the riskiest? #TravelTips #AirportHacks #TSA #TravelSafety #TheftAlert #Spirituality30Share
Brooke Martin+FollowWhy I Want Two Pilots Up Front—AlwaysSo, get this: a Lufthansa flight had a real scare when the co-pilot passed out alone in the cockpit while the captain was on a bathroom break. The plane flew itself for 10 minutes (thanks, autopilot!) while the co-pilot accidentally hit some controls. Luckily, nothing bad happened, but it’s a wild reminder why some airlines always keep two people in the cockpit. Next time you fly, maybe peek at the cockpit door and hope there’s always a buddy system up front! #TravelSafety #Aviation #LifeHacks #CoffeeBreak #Business200Share
Julie Padilla+FollowB.C. Is the Most Wary of U.S. Travel?!Turns out, most Canadians are feeling pretty uneasy about heading to the U.S. these days, and it’s not Ontario leading the pack—it’s B.C.! A new survey says 57% of British Columbians think it’s not safe for Canadians to travel south of the border, especially with all the Trump drama and talk of Canada becoming the 51st state. Alberta’s the only province where most people still feel okay about it. Would you still cross the border? #CanadaUS #TravelSafety #CanadianNews #Trump #BC #Spirituality98Share
