FlySaFair’s flight FA212, en route from OR Tambo International Airport to Cape Town, made a swift return to Johannesburg after experiencing a harrowing take-off incident on Sunday. Ground staff at OR Tambo detected a damaged wheel shortly after the aircraft’s 11:32 departure, prompting the decision to turn back. According to FlySaFair’s chief marketing officer, Kirby Gordon, the crew was promptly alerted and the plane was safely guided back for inspection. A low pass over the airport allowed technicians to visually assess the landing gear, revealing that one of the rear wheels had detached during take-off. Fortunately, the aircraft landed without incident at 2:06 pm, with no injuries reported among passengers or crew. An investigation into the cause of the tire damage is underway.
Update 14:19 pm (SAST/ South African Time): From what we learned from passengers and witnesses at Johannesburg Airport, the Boeing 738 made a safe landing at Johannesburg Airport and was immediately followed by emergency services and fire command. After an initial inspection on the runway, flight SFR212 was seen taxiing but now still came to a stop on the runway. 21 R still seems to be closed.

Flight Safair 212 from Johannesburg to Cape Town has declared an emergency shortly after take off. The crew reported problems with their left rear gear. They just did a fly around and the below image was captured. The plane is in a holding pattern, burning fuel and preparing for an emergency landing back at Johannesburg airport.
The image shows a wheel missing at the left gear.
This is an ongoing event. We will try to update the news as soon as we get more information.
A Close Call for the Veteran Aircraft During Training
The Turkish Air Force recently faced a harrowing situation when a C-160 Transall aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing during a routine training exercise. This incident, which occurred in Kayseri, central Turkey, fortunately resulted in no injuries, thanks to the skill and quick thinking of the crew.
The Incident: A Technical Malfunction in Mid-Air
As the C-160 took off from the Kayseri 12th Air Transport Base Command, it encountered a technical malfunction. Despite the unexpected challenge, the crew managed to execute an emergency landing. Impressively, the aircraft sustained only minor damage, and both the pilot and crew emerged unscathed. The Turkish Ministry of Defense confirmed the crew’s wellbeing and the minor damage to the aircraft in a statement.
About the C-160 Transall
The C-160 Transall, a product of the French-German consortium Transport Allianz, is a testament to European aerospace collaboration. This twin-engine aircraft is renowned for its versatility in transporting approximately 16 tons of freight, 91 passengers, 60 equipped paratroopers, or 62 wounded on stretchers in its medivac configuration. Although France and Germany have retired the Transall from their fleets in 2021 and 2022 respectively, the Turkish Air Force continues to operate this robust aircraft, specifically by the 221st Squadron “Breeze.”
An audacious initiative by a pioneering brand in the sex tech industry, renowned for integrating AI into adult entertainment, has proposed a novel concept—pleasure transmitted not by touch but by thought. Autoblow, the brand behind the first sex toy that uses AI to replicate human actions and the first voice-controlled sex toy, has released a short film demonstrating the surprising possible future of human sexual interactions, where pleasure is transmitted not by touch but by thoughts. The Mastermind behind this ambitious endeavor is Brian Sloan, a prominent adult tech industry figure recognized for his innovative approach to integrating AI and novel tech in adult entertainment.

The Next Frontier in Human Sexuality?
The project leverages brainwaves or thoughts to control a cutting-edge sex toy, suggesting a potential paradigm shift in the human sexual experience. The history of BCI technology dates back to the early 1970s when researchers first explored the concept at the University of California, Los Angeles. The objective was to develop a communication pathway between the brain and a computer, bypassing the body’s normal pathways. Over the years, this technology has found applications in various fields, including medical, gaming, and adult entertainment.
The Interface of Intimacy and Technology
Utilizing a Brain Computer Interface (BCI), Sloan’s team has shown it is possible to control a device called Autoblow purely through thoughts, effectively bridging the gap between the human mind and machine.
This bold experiment was conducted by a team of neurotechnology scientists using EEG headsets that can read brainwaves – the electrical signals our brains produce when we think. Participants in the study were asked to imagine moving their arms and legs, and these thoughts were converted into specific commands that the Autoblow AI+ could understand and respond to.
While it might sound like a concept straight out of a science fiction movie, this technology, which uses Wi-Fi connectivity and advanced neural networks, allows a physical device to be controlled purely by thought, bringing us a step closer to a touchless future of adult entertainment. This breakthrough signals a potential shift in how humans interact with technology and, more specifically, how they may experience sexual pleasure in the future.

Although this is a significant adult tech stride, it raises questions. Critics argue that while BCI sex tech may be a breakthrough in enhancing sexual experience, there is a risk of overlooking the human element that encompasses emotions and physical connection.
Thought-Controlled Orgasms: Sci-Fi Fantasy or the Next Big Thing in Adult Tech?
Sloan points to a potential future where pleasure, and even reaching climax, could be commanded simply by thought. “We’ve been interacting with devices using buttons and dials, a technology that is over a century old,” Sloan explained. He believes this bold venture might radically redefine our understanding of human sexual capabilities.
The potential benefits of such a breakthrough are significant. It could provide a new level of sexual autonomy for individuals or even groups around the globe and offer opportunities for those with mobility impairments. However, the societal implications of this potential shift towards a more virtual sexual experience demand careful consideration.
Critics voice concerns about the risk of blurring the line between the real world and virtual interactions, sparking a debate over emotional detachment and potential dependence on technology for sexual satisfaction.
Amid ongoing conversations about the ethical aspects of these emerging technologies, one thing is clear: BCI tech could fundamentally transform not only our interaction with machines but also our understanding and expression of human sexuality. Despite the criticisms and potential challenges, the exploration into this realm of sensory experience indicates that the future of pleasure might not be far from our thoughts. Indeed, this research hints at a future where the key to sexual satisfaction could be merely a thought away.
