not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personal losses
Today in history:113 years ago today, German meteorologist and geophysicist Alfred Wagner officially proposed the theory of continental drift. Due to the inability to explain the mechanism of drift at that time, it was opposed by geophysicists. However, with the development of paleomagnetism, seismology, and aerospace observations, the theory of continental drift gained recognition in the mid-1950s to mid-1960s and laid the foundation for the development of plate tectonics. Alfred Wagner is also known as the "father of continental drift theory".

01India becomes a country with hypersonic missile capability

According to a comprehensive report from New Delhi, the Indian government recently issued a statement stating that the hypersonic missile developed by the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization can carry multiple payloads with a range of over 1500 kilometers. Previously, the first long-range hypersonic missile had been successfully test fired off the coast of the eastern state of Odisha. Indian Defense Minister Rajnagar described this test as a huge achievement and important milestone.


It is understood that hypersonic missiles have a speed exceeding five times the speed of sound, fly lower than ballistic missiles, and are more difficult to detect. They can hit targets faster and can also change their attack targets during flight. Experts believe that India's independently developed advanced weapon technology enhances its strategic advantage in competition with regional rivals and greatly improves its air defense capabilities.

01A South Korean plane collided and caught fire, resulting in 179 deaths

According to Yonhap News Agency, a Boeing B737-800 passenger plane carrying 175 passengers and six crew members from Jeju Airlines in southwestern South Korea was suspected to have crashed into a flock of birds during landing at Woan International Airport, resulting in a failed second landing. The plane eventually stalled, ran off the runway, crashed into a wall, and exploded. Only two crew members were rescued, while the remaining 179 people died. This is the most serious plane crash in South Korea in 22 years.


Experts point out that Wu'an Airport is located in the winter habitat of migratory birds, with frequent bird activity during the migration period, which highly overlaps with the takeoff and landing paths of aircraft, increasing the possibility of collisions. But some experts also believe that it is difficult for current airplanes to experience engine failure due to colliding with bird flocks, which may be caused by other problems after the airplane collided with birds. Some public opinion believes that the short runway of Wu'an International Airport may be one of the important reasons for the heavy casualties in the accident.
