EditorAn airline worker was injured after falling several feet from an aeroplane onto the runway.
Video shared on social media shows the moment the ground staffer fell from a TransNusa Airbus A320 at Jakarta Airport, Indonesia, as the flight crew prepared for takeoff.
The worker allegedly saluted the crew for a safe flight and began stepping out of the plane, unaware that ground staff had removed the mobile stairs from the plane.

The agent, still talking with the crew, walked off the plane and fell many feet down to the tarmac.
The worker received medical treatment immediately and did not sustain life threatening injuries, a source told AirLive.net.
The incident is understood to be in violation of aviation rules which reportedly state that workers should not remove a ladder while an aircraft door is still open.
Jakarta Airport authorities have launched an investigation into the incident and have “assured measures” to prevent future accidents, Aviation24.be reported.
Watch the video below:
A staff member plummeted from the L1 door of a TransNusa Airbus A320 as the step ladder was abruptly removed without proper coordination, leading to the terrifying fall. Social media reports confirm that his injuries are not life-threatening.

UK Denies 74-year-old Mam Permanent Residency After 42 Years Stay
Published

May 16, 2024By
EditorA Ghanaian has instituted a legal case against the United Kingdom Home Office after he was denied permanent residency despite living in the country for 42 years.
The Ghanaian identified as Nelson Shardey is a retired 74-year-old man who arrived in the UK in 1977.
But after living in the UK for almost 50 years, Shardey was informed to wait another 10 years before the Home Office could grant him permanent residency, the BBC reports.
Shardey had for many years assumed he was officially British after he first arrived in the UK in 1977 to study accountancy on a student visa that also allowed him to work.
He only discovered otherwise in 2019 and, despite paying taxes all his adult life, now faces paying thousands of pounds to stay and use the NHS, the report added.

According to him, I have never left the UK as I saw no need to and regarded it as my home.
“Nobody questioned me. I bought all my things on credit, even the house.
“I got a mortgage. And nobody questioned me about anything,” Shardy, a retired newsagent told the BBC.
Explaining further, he said he took on a series of jobs, making Mother’s Pride bread and Kipling’s Cakes near Southampton, and Bendick’s Chocolate in Winchester after a coup in his native Ghana which affected his family’s inability to send him money for the fees.

He added that no one ever queried his right to live or work in the UK.
But in a twist of fate in 2019 when he applied for a passport so he could go back to Ghana following the death of his mother, Shardy said he was told he was not British.
The Home Office said he had no right to be in the UK.
Over the 10 years, it costs about £7,000, with a further £10,500 over the same period to access the NHS.
“I cannot afford to pay any part of the money they are asking. Telling me to go through that route is a punishment, and it’s not fair in any way,” said Mr Shardey, who is recovering from prostate cancer.
“I don’t understand why this fuss at all, because I put my life, my whole self into this country,” he added.

When he tried to extend his right to stay in the UK online two years ago, he filled out the wrong form.
That meant the 10-year process had to begin again in 2023.
As a result, Mr Shardey will not be allowed to stay in the UK permanently until he is 84.
A lawyer at Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit, Nicola Burgess, is now taking the Home Office to court on Shardey’s behalf.
The Home Office declined to comment on the case, the report added.
Shardey has performed jury service, and in 2007 was given a police award for bravery after tackling a robber who was attacking a delivery man with a baseball bat.
The retiree has two sons – Jacob and Aaron – with a British woman after his first marriage, also with a Briton, ended.
