Cruise Passenger Uses Fork to Scratch Foot in the Dining Room

Denmark shared advice for tourists on how to act during an encounter with wolves. Among the suggestions, tourists are advised to stay calm, make noise, and keep eye contact.

Authorities distributed fliers to tourist campsites, holiday homes, and tourist offices in German, Danish, and English. Although it is rare for wolves to approach humans, it is a possibility. The wolf population has risen to 49 in the Jutland peninsula after a 200-year absence.

“There have been no wolf attacks on people in Denmark, but should it happen, you must defend yourself by all means: hit, kick, and use any object at hand. If a wolf attacks another person or your dog, aim your blows and kicks at the wolf’s hindquarters. Do not go between the wolf and the victim,” the flier says. People are also told not to follow them or leave the car if they come close to the vehicle.

Disregarding all warnings and common sense, two tourists were captured walking on the banks of Yellowstone National Park’s hot spring on July 18. The pair were dangerously walking across the Grand Prismatic Spring, which is forbidden. The National Park Service recommends that people stay on the designated trails and do not scratch the mat. “Hydrothermal water can severely burn you.”

The Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the park, spanning 200 to 330 feet. It is more than 121 feet deep and reaches a temperature of 188°F. The fragile crust is thin with boiling water underneath, and falling can be deadly. Last year, a bison died after falling through it.

Last Monday, a bear was seen atop a utility pole in a remote area of New Mexico. Shannon Mulles recorded video of the black bear panting heavily, and her fiancé called 911. Authorities said they couldn’t take action because the bear might fall if they tried to tranquilize or coax it down. Tragically, the bear was electrocuted on its way down and died before conservation officers arrived.

The New Mexico Department of Wildlife said it received calls about the bear and advised people to leave it alone, as it would climb down when ready. “However, some members of the public continued to stop next to the power pole to film and take pictures of the bear, so the bear remained at the top of the pole,” it said in a statement.

The department also noted that the bear climbed the pole after being spooked, similar to how it would climb a tree in a forest. It was up there for an hour and a half. The best thing the public can do in these cases is to leave the wildlife alone, the agency said.

Cruises are not for the faint-hearted. In a recently viral video, a passenger was seen using a fork to scratch her foot in the dining area. The shocking video series starts with the woman scratching her bare foot in the dining hall; in the next part, she uses a fork from the table on her foot. The Instagram user also shared a conversation with a staff member as she informed them about the incident.

Carnival Cruise later confirmed that they had removed the utensil from service and joked that “forks are intended for food, not foot care.”

Last Tuesday, an EasyJet flight from Tenerife to Liverpool was forced to return 30 minutes after takeoff. The air traffic controller recalled that a group of 10 people started a fight and the pilot requested the flight turn around for the safety of everyone onboard. “We expedited their return as much as possible while coordinating with the airport for police presence.”

The flight was met by police upon return and then continued to Liverpool. There were 186 passengers on the flight. The airline confirmed the incident and said that the safety of its passengers and crew are a top priority. “We take these incidents very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behavior towards our staff.”
