A similar situation occurred in June 2019, when military aircraft caused loud bangs that were heard across Essex, as BBC reported. The noise sparked lots of emergency calls, according to police. Residents reported feeling their houses shake after the sound was heard in Harlow, Epping, Chelmsford and Stansted. The sound was due to two RAF Typhoon jets escorting a Jet2 flight to land because a 25-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault and endangering an aircraft, according to the publication. The situation also led to minor flight delays for other flights.See also:
The sonic boom heard across north London follows the terrorist attack at Fishmongers' Hall near London Bridge the day before. The attack left two dead and three injured, according to Heavy.
According to police sources, initial investigation into the death of the 35-year-old woman indicated that she committed suicide by self immolation. Police claimed she was suffering with mental health problems. Her charred body was found at a deserted place on Siddulagutta road.
Police sources said the CCTV footage recovered showed the woman walking towards the temple on Friday evening carrying a plastic bag, containing a bottle with apparently gasoline inside.
"It preliminarily appears to be suicide as per the burn injuries and the scene of offence observed so far. However, further information would be given after post-mortem report (is received) and her identity is established after looking at CCTV footage further. But, it preliminarily appears to be suicide as per available CCTV visuals and the things found with her," a police official said.
An eyewitness noticed the woman siting at the temple and crying. Police sources added that the woman was also seen speaking in Hindi, which is why they suspect she was a north Indian.
The woman was found burning later, police sources said. However, other possibilities are also being probed, they added.
On Friday, the woman's body was moved to a government hospital for an autopsy. It is yet to be established if the woman was sexually assaulted or murdered.
A case has already been registered by the Samshabad police and all the angles are being investigated.
Want to Help Fight Climate Change? Have More Children
...
Look at it this way: If progress on climate change is at all possible, someone will need to contribute to it. Aren't your potential children among the most likely people to do that? If nothing else, they have an above-average chance of voting for political remedies for the problem, given how you will raise and instruct them.
Alternatively, you might think that climate change is such a huge and terrible problem that even marginal improvements are unlikely, never mind a comprehensive solution. If that's the case, then you should just do what you want right now and forget about future considerations altogether โ whatever you decide, it won't matter.
Then there is the matter of historical perspective. Parents had children in medieval times, or for that matter before antibiotics and vaccines. Of all the children who have ever existed, the vast majority have been born into pretty tough circumstances. It is part of the human condition โ even as we struggle to improve our lot. Let's not give up by ceasing to have children.
Finally, leave aside the implausibility of these arguments and consider their assumptions. What you'll find is zero-sum thinking, negative value judgments about large families, and an attempt to use guilt and shame to steer social and environmental policy. I suspect that is why these arguments are finding some traction, not because they are the result of any careful cost-benefit calculations.
SCENE: Mud-spattered beige MRAPs flying dust-stained American flags crest majestically over a hill in the middle of the Syrian desert, surrounded on all sides by sand and a bombed-out ruin here and there. Ominous music plays faintly in the background, but the mood is a triumphant one - no disaffected Kurds throwing rotten veggies at these proud sons of Uncle Sam! That's right - the US is back in Syria, and they're gonna get ISIS - again - and win back the hearts and minds of those Kurds. [end SCENE]US CENTCOM commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie did his best to build up excitement for the latest episode in the long-running US vs ISIS series, encouraging Americans not to give up hope of a quality war even if the action in this particular installment starts out slow: "Over the next days and weeks, the pace will pick back up against remnants of ISIS," he told reporters last week from the middle of a security conference in Bahrain.
Israeli occupation forces committed 600 violations against Palestinian journalists between October 2018 and October 2019, the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate (PJS) announced on Friday.

Comment: Footage collated by RT: Further RT reports that there's 'no indication of terrorism' nor of any motive, the victims of the attack were all minors and the suspect is still on the loose: A map of other incidents that occurred around Europe yesterday was shared on Twitter:
UPDATE: 1st December 2019 @ 15:30 CET
RT reports the suspect has been arrested but the motive is still unclear: It's notable that, while not directly related, there are similarities to a story from October, in Manhattan, where four homeless men were bludgeoned to death by another homeless man.
