Dilip Marcus Sundhod, a 47-year-old British free fall athlete who came to the Fethiye district in Türkiye to participate in the ongoing 23rd International Ölüdeniz Air Games Festival, fell on the steep cliffs while jumping from the performing free fall with his friends in the Butterfly Valley. After a challenging operation to reach where Sundhod fell, rescue personnel determined that he had lost his life and took him to the morgue of Fethiye State Hospital.

It was learned that the pilot’s jump had nothing to do with the festival events.

0

 

A devastating forest fire in Türkiye’s Bursa province reduced 100 hectares to ash, but one garden in Gürsu’s Karahıdır village remained untouched. Despite the destruction, Halil Kiraz’s 25-acre nectar orchard stood green and intact. Kiraz credited his drip irrigation system, firebreak road, regular maintenance, and almsgiving: “Everything turned to ash, but my garden remained green.”
The fire began on July 26, 2025, prompting the evacuation of 1,765 people. Now extinguished, the contrast of Kiraz’s green orchard amid scorched land has drawn widespread attention.
