Thirty passengers were injured after a flight from Madrid to Uruguay was hit by "strong turbulence", forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in Brazil, Spanish airline Air Europa said.

"Our flight UX045 bound for Montevideo has been diverted to the Natal airport (in Brazil) due to strong turbulence," Air Europa said in a post on X.

"The plane has landed normally and those who sustained different types of injuries are already being treated."

The aircraft hit by turbulence was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. The plane has the capacity to hold up to 339 passengers, according to Air Europa's website.

"From one moment to the next, the plane destabilized and went into a dive. The people who didn't have seat belts went up in the air and hit the ceiling, and they got hurt – those who had seat belts on, not so much," one of the passengers, Maximiliano, told Reuters.

Another passenger, Stevan, told the news agency: "There are passengers with fractures and injuries to their arms, faces and legs. There are about 30 people injured. It was a pretty horrible feeling; we thought we were going to die there, but thank God it didn't happen."

The Spanish airline said another plane was set to depart later on Monday (Tuesday) from Madrid and pick up the passengers stranded in Brazil to continue their journey to Uruguay.

Air Europa added that anyone who needed healthcare was being treated in Brazil's Natal International Airport.

The news comes as the latest development in a string of bad publicity for the airplane manufacturer Boeing.

While there's no evidence so far that the injuries on the Air Europa flight had anything to do with a safety malfunction, Boeing has recently faced a series of whistleblowers alleging safety issues at the company.

Just last week, a whistleblower came forward alleging parts of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner planes were built in an unsafe manner – potentially leading to "devastating consequences." A previous whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, a Boeing engineer, said he found and reported similar gaps in 787 and 777 aircraft.

For nearly two years starting in 2021, the FAA and Boeing halted deliveries of the new Dreamliners while it looked into the gaps. Boeing said it made changes in its manufacturing process and deliveries ultimately resumed.

More than a dozen whistleblowers have come forward against Boeing in recent years, and the number has grown substantially since a door plug blew off a 737 Max plane in January just after takeoff, leaving a gaping hole in the side the plane.

The FAA has opened multiple investigations into Boeing and the US Department of Justice said it may file criminal charges against the company because of its ongoing quality and safety failures.

Mother-of-four Christie Smith spends almost all of her days in bed wracked with pain, and has done so for the past five years.

Smith, who lives in Shellharbour in the NSW Illawarra region with her family, suffers from a rare case of end-stage or "terminal" endometriosis, meaning the endometrial tissue has run rampant to such an extent through her body that it can no longer be removed with surgery.

Over the years, Smith's endometriosis has spread to her bladder, bowel, kidneys, liver, diaphragm and even her lungs.

In constant pain, Smith finds walking and even swallowing or breathing difficult.

"I'm probably in bed 23 out of 24 hours because I am in so much pain all the time from the scar tissue and adhesions," Smith told 9news.com.au.

Smith is speaking out about her crippling experience with endometriosis in order to call for women with the condition to be taken seriously. 

The 45-year-old claims she was "gaslit" and ignored for years by doctors, who failed to listen to her pleas for help as her endometriosis grew worse and worse.

Having suffered through excruciating periods starting as a teenager, Smith always suspected she had endometriosis, but she struggled for a decade to get a diagnosis.

"I tried to get a diagnosis. I suspected that I had endometriosis based on my own research, but the problem with endometriosis is they can't find it on scans," she said.

"I went through the whole process of getting scans and nothing ever showed up." 

It wasn't until 2005, when Smith was 26 and had an almost fatal ectopic pregnancy, that her endometriosis was officially diagnosed.

"When it ruptured, I nearly died. I had to be taken into emergency surgery," Smith said.

Doctors discovered Smith's fallopian tube, where the foetus was growing, was scarred and covered with endometrial tissue. 

Smith was given news of her endometriosis diagnosis, and also her infertility.

"I was told I wouldn't ever be able to have children with the remaining tube that was also so badly damaged," she said.

However, Smith and her husband managed to have four boys in three years through IVF, including identical twins. 

When the couple made the decision their family was complete, Smith said she went to see a gynaecologist about having her uterus removed because of the excruciating symptoms she was still suffering from.

"I was at the point where, when I would get my period, I couldn't get out of bed for several days," Smith said.

"I couldn't urinate because I couldn't relax my muscles enough to actually do a wee.

"To have a bowel movement was so painful I would cry. It was just horrible."

To Smith's shock, the gynaecologist dismissed her concerns, saying he didn't think her endometriosis was significant enough for the surgery.

"Even with the diagnosis, I had it all in writing, he didn't believe me. He sent me for a CT scan and it showed nothing," she said.

"He did a pelvic exam and he said, 'No, nothing feels like it's tethered.'"

Smith said the doctor's advice made her second guess herself, despite the pain she was in.

"I actually started questioning myself. I thought maybe I don't have it anymore, because he told me a lot of women who go through pregnancy, they find it goes into remission," she said. 

"So I was kind of gaslit, to the point where I didn't know whether it was in my head." 

Four years later, in 2019, Smith had an operation to remove a hernia in her groin.

Doctors discovered the hernia was caused by an endometrioma, a cyst related to the endometriosis, that had grown through Smith's abdominal muscle and into her inguinal canal. 

Smith then saw a new gynaecologist who agreed to operate to remove her uterus at the end of 2019.

However, the planned surgery turned into a seven-and-a-half-hour operation with multiple surgeons involved when it became apparent the endometriosis had spread to almost all of Smith's abdominal organs.

Smith had what is sometimes referred to as "frozen pelvis", a rare and severe stage of endometriosis where the pelvic organs become fused and stuck together.

"My entire bowel had to be resected off the back of my abdomen because it was completely stuck down," Smith said. 

"That's why I was having a lot of pain, because my bowel wasn't able to function normally."

Dr Jason Chow is a pain specialist and gynaecologist at the Royal Hospital for Women in Randwick, Sydney, and one of Smith's doctors.

Chow said improvements in ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology meant patients with severe cases of endometriosis like Smith were now being picked up more often before surgery.

"Very occasionally, you come in for surgery and that's not (been) detected, but I think we're getting better," Chow said.

While the proportion of endometriosis patients with frozen pelvis was very low, it could also be underestimated, as some people were asymptomatic, Chow said.

"One of the challenges is that the pain (felt by patients) doesn't always correlate with the amount of endometriosis you have … some people might not have symptoms and still have severe endometriosis," he said.

For patients such as Smith, with severe end-stage endometriosis, the condition would have likely progressed over a period of years, and not having it actively managed could have contributed it getting worse, Chow said.

While there was an increasing awareness in the medical profession about the "invalidation of women's pain", some endometriosis patients were still having their symptoms dismissed, Chow said.

"Regardless of the stage of the endometriosis, your pain should not be less validated because you have stage one," Chow said. 

"There are health consequences, including physical consequences, even if that stage of endometriosis is not severe."

Chow said there were still medical myths about the condition being perpetuated, such as the belief that a woman's endometriosis would go away when she fell pregnant.

"This is actually based on a commentary that a gynaecologist made in the early 1900s. That has since been negated. During pregnancy, your endometriosis might be lighter but you are not going to take away your endometriosis by being pregnant," Chow said.

"These are the sort of medical and societal biases that still exist."

Chow said if patients were worried they should go see their GP.

Smith said not being believed about her endometriosis had robbed her of the chance to keep it under control. 

The mother-of-four has been advised against further surgery by doctors because it could result in complications and worsen her pain.

In a further blow, Smith's body is no longer responding to the maximum-dose opioid painkillers she has been taking.

Desperate to help, Smith's friend Rosalynne Glarey recently started a GoFundMe campaign to help fund her access to a spa for pain relief and physiotherapy.

Smith said her message was simple.

"I would like women to be believed when they are in pain," she said.

"If a man had this happen and was in pain like this, no doctor would just say go away and come back in four months and tell me how it feels. He would be investigating what is wrong.

"If it stops you from doing your life, then that's too much pain."

A stingray that got pregnant at a North Carolina aquarium this winter despite not having shared a tank with a male of her species for many years has died.

The Aquarium and Shark Lab in Hendersonville said on Facebook late on Sunday that the stingray, Charlotte, died after getting a rare reproductive disease.

It didn't go into further detail.

"We are sad to announce, after continuing treatment with her medical care team and specialist, our ray Charlotte passed away today," the aquarium wrote, while also thanking fans for their "love and support".

The aquarium, which is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, announced in February that Charlotte had gotten pregnant despite not having shared a tank with a male stingray in at least eight years.

The pregnancy made headlines around the world and provided fodder for late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel and "Saturday Night Live".

The aquarium said in late May that Charlotte was suffering from a rare reproductive disease, and that it was trying to find out more about the malady.

"There have been studies done on southern rays, but we have not found any yet done on round rays," it wrote.

https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fteamecco%2Fposts%2Fpfbid042zbqEd3MwhxhLEH3YthMdb7hNChAwLgDv5k8LJYy5LFgTsoxa5zi3CJsRiXhNgKl&show_text=true&width=500

The aquarium announced in early June that Charlotte was no longer pregnant.

The development led the facility to temporarily close to the public on June 1.

In its post on Sunday, the aquarium said it would remain closed for the time being and that staff would continue to feed and care for the other animals.

The pregnancy was thought to be the result of a type of asexual reproduction called parthenogenesis, in which offspring develop from unfertilised eggs, meaning there is no genetic contribution by a male.

The mostly rare phenomenon can occur in some insects, fish, amphibians, birds and reptiles, but not in mammals.

Documented examples have included California condors, Komodo dragons and yellow-bellied water snakes.

A Gold Coast couple has been left outraged and heartbroken after thieves stole a tiara from the grave of their three-year-old daughter.

Lorraine and David Conway's daughter Brittney passed away in 2020 and her tiara was considered a priceless keepsake. 

"I'm still quite shaken about it, just feeling disbelief that somebody's actually taken it," Lorraine told Today this morning.

David said when he noticed the tiara wasn't in its lockbox at Mudgeeraba Cemetery he called his wife, assuming she had taken it home to clean. 

"I said, 'Have you taken Britney's tiara?' and she said, 'No', and I said, 'Well, it's gone'," David said.

Lorraine said in a post on Facebook the headpiece was special because it had been resting on Britney's bed before her family laid her to rest.

The heartbroken mother said she was pleading with whoever took the tiara to return it.

"I don't want anyone to get into trouble. I just want the tiara returned," she said.

"It's not going to do anything for anybody else but us as a family."

Lorraine said while she hadn't had any leads yet, the response from her local community after she shared the devastating news of the theft had been "heartwarming".

"[We've had] people wanting to donate money to buy a new one, or donate their tiaras," she said. 

"I have two gentlemen now that want to donate $1,000 each to return her tiara. 

"So it's been so heartwarming, but we still haven't had anything returned."

French bulldogs Oreo and Gizmo have been reunited with the RSPCA inspector who rescued them from a puppy farm in Perth more than a year ago.

"I could cry seeing them because they are just completely different," Florence Maude said.

The inspector rescued the dogs from an inhumane puppy farm in Wattlegrove.

Conditions at the puppy farm were confronting, with dogs confined to small cages.

There was a noticeable smell from the street.

"The conditions would indicate the dogs were being bred for profit," Maude said.

"The dogs were deformed in a way. 

"Their spines were arching upwards, they could barely walk more than a few metres without being tired and needing to sit down. 

"They had pressure sores from living on the wire."

The dogs had to remain in the care of the RSPCA for more than a year. 

More than $100,000 was spent in vet bills to get them happy and healthy

The two dogs are now in loving homes.

"She has brought so much joy to us and still does now," Oreo's owner said.

"She's just an adorable dog and an adorable nature."

Last year, inspectors investigated more than 7000 cases of animal cruelty across WA.

The RSPCA said the person allegedly responsible for the puppy farm fled the country.

Authorities have not laid any charges against them.
