Hundreds of men, women and children have been abandoned at remote barracks in Canada for 20 hours after their United Airlines flight from Chicago to London had to make an emergency landing.

The passengers were apparently forced to sleep in uncomfortable beds with only two blankets and no heating at Goose Bay barracks on Friday night after landing due to a ‘fault’ with the aircraft.

They have reportedly been given only two meals, have had ‘no word at all’ from United Airlines – and two elderly passengers were even ‘dumped’ at the wrong part of the barracks and left overnight.

But while the passengers remain hungry, cold and confused, the crew spent the night at a hotel in Newfoundland and Labrador, passenger Simon Millward told DailyMail.com from the barracks.

The sound of a lawn mower buzzing about is common at this time of year. But one Vaudreuil-Dorion man was shocked when a late afternoon trim ended up cutting into his pocket book.

Last month, Kevin Beasse received a $270 ticket for mowing his lawn past 4 p.m. on a Sunday.

“I got frustrated and I gave him… I said a few choice words that I shouldn’t have said,” he said. He was handed an additional $148 fine for his outburst.

The World Naked Bike Ride is happening in Toronto June 13 and besides the above three things, there’s not much else you need to bring to participate.

The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against oil dependency.

Here are some tips from the World Naked Bike Ride website that might convince you to strips down and cycle:

1. Nudity isn’t required to participate and all rides around the world are clothing optional.

2. Creativity and decoration of bikes and bodies is strongly encouraged. If you have body paints, bring them along. Leaves and other greenery are also useful for draping or twisting around the body. Lipstick is also a good choice for scrawling messages on your skin.

3. No one is excluded or discriminated against based on levels of clothing, body paint or anything else.

4. People of all ages, sizes, builds and appearances ride on World Naked Bike Ride; children are allowed to participate as the ride is designed to be family friendly.

5. Most riders find it exhilarating, liberating, empowering… and downright fun!

If you wish to bare it all on your bike, meet at Coronation Park, south of the CNE’s Princes Gate, at noon, June 13. The ride starts at 1 p.m. and travels through the downtown core, ending at the Jack Layton Memorial Ferry Docks.

It has been 15 months since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing did an unexplained about-face, flew in the wrong direction and disappeared without a trace with 239 souls on board. In the absence of physical evidence, theories on what happened to the plane continue to proliferate: The crew passed out. It was pilot suicide. Or was it a paranormal event?

Now comes the latest contribution to the debate: This week, a mathematician from Texas A&M University announced that he had run data through a computer and determined it was likely the plane had plunged vertically into the ocean.

A Malaysia Airlines passenger jet has made an emergency landing at Melbourne Airport after a false alert about an engine fire.

A cockpit warning light in the A330, which had only just left the Tullamarine runway en route to Kuala Lumpur, illuminated and forced the pilots to turn back and make an emergency landing.

The plane landed amidst a storm of emergency services vehicles – but on investigation no fire was found in the engine, according to the a spokesman for the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
