A Delta flight from Chicago to Boston safely landed at Logan Airport following a possible lightning strike, officials said. Flight 2346 landed without incident Monday night, the airline said. There were 85 customers aboard the Airbus A220 plane. “As safety is always Delta’s top priority, the aircraft is being taken out of service for evaluation in line with our typical procedures,” the airline said.<br/>

A Korean Air passenger was drinking iced coffee on board his flight this month when he found a glass fragment in his mouth. He was flying from the Chinese city Guangzhou to the Incheon International Airport in South Korea on Sept 1 when he almost swallowed the glass shard that measured about 0.5cm long and 0.1cm thick. The cabin crew later found that the glass cup holding the coffee was chipped, reported BusinessKorea magazine. But it was unclear if the glass shard came from the same cup. The passenger said he induced vomiting to purge his meal in the restroom as suggested by the cabin crew, in case he had swallowed more bits of glass, reported English-language media publication Korea JoongAng Daily. The man was not injured. “I might have gulped the drink down if it was some other beverage. I sent a letter to Korean Air’s CEO to alert him on the seriousness of the issue and demanded counter-measures,” the passenger said as reported by the South Korean media. The passenger said he did not request compensation, but wanted Korean Air to make the incident public.<br/>
