In an alarming incident over Argentina, a flight instructor tragically died after jumping out of a small aircraft, leaving his student to land the plane solo.

The event unfolded on a Saturday flight, as 42-year-old Leandro Andrés Bertazzo was aboard a two-seat Cessna 150G. According to CNN, drawing from its Argentinian partner TN, Bertazzo suddenly decided to jump mid-flight over the province of Córdoba.

Eduardo Álvarez, director of the Flying Parrot Córdoba flying school where Bertazzo was employed, expressed his shock to TN: “This tragic choice was made with another individual right there in the aircraft. It’s an unimaginable situation, showcasing the complexities of the human mind.”

Rosario, the 22-year-old student pilot, recounted to officials that Bertazzo instructed her with the words, “You know what you have to do, carry on,” before he removed his equipment, opened the aircraft door, and took the fatal leap, as Álvarez reported.

Opening the door of a plane midair is incredibly difficult. Álvarez said it would be akin to trying to open the door of a car traveling 124 miles per hour.

Álvarez said that Rosario managed to land the plane safely, despite being in “complete shock.” There was no damage to the plane, according to TN.

Álvarez noted that Bertazzo had gone on a flight with another student earlier in the day.

Álvarez also told TN that Bertazzo had visited a psychiatric institute, something that was only known by his family prior to his death.

Prosecutors in Córdoba will lead the investigation into Bertazzo’s death. The plane he jumped from is now in police custody.

In the Netherlands, over 800 pounds of peanut butter have transformed a museum floor into a colossal tribute to a renowned Dutch conceptual artist. This unusual installation commemorates the passing of Wim T. Schippers, who died last month.

Wim T. Schippers, who passed away on June 10 at 83, first introduced the concept of a “Pindakaasvloer,” or peanut butter floor, back in 1969. His creative and unconventional spirit continues to inspire the art world even after his death.

The latest peanut butter floor, celebrating Schippers’ legacy, premiered Thursday at the Depot branch of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. This exhibit boasts enough creamy spread to make 15,000 sandwiches, underscoring the artist’s enduring impact.

Precision and dedication poured into the installation, as Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen staff spent several days meticulously spreading 40 buckets of peanut butter to an exact thickness of 0.8 inches within a 270-square-foot hexagon.

“It was a lot of work,” admitted Leon Duenk, one of the artisans behind this unique installation, in an interview with the Associated Press. The commitment to detail reflects the team’s respect and admiration for Schippers’ innovative vision.

Schippers, who also voiced Ernie and Kermit the Frog in the Dutch version of “Sesame Street,” created the peanut display as part of a Floor Covering Series, which also included floors covered in glass shards and salt.

“Isn’t it fantastic that we are all standing here looking at peanut butter?” Schippers told reporters at the Central Museum in Utrecht in 1997 during Pindakaasvloer’s second display.

Before his death, the artist and the museum discussed a 20-point plan on how to recreate the nutty exhibit with stipulations that the peanut butter be applied “as smoothly and boringly as possible” and that “no one is supposed to stand in, or lie down on the peanut butter.”

Though Schippers did not specify the size or shape of the work, he preferred smooth peanut butter from the Dutch brand Calvé, which donated 40 tubs for the honorary display.

Multiple visitors stepped on the peanut butter floor when it was on display in 2011.

It was also vandalized in 1997 by a crew of pranksters who placed 12 slices of bread and several bags of hagelslag chocolate sprinkles on the floor.

“It doesn’t look bad,” Schippers told Dutch newspaper Volkskrant at the time. “The sprinkles have been applied with a sense of proportion and a skillful hand.”

The museum — which is now wafting with the nostalgic lunch-box aroma — has a warning at its entrance for visitors with peanut allergies to consider not entering the space.

This year’s Pindakaasvloer will be on display until Sept. 6, according to the museum’s website.

With Post wires

Israeli intelligence has unveiled to the United States an alleged Iranian scheme targeting President Donald Trump’s life, coinciding with Trump’s declaration that the ceasefire between the US and Iran has effectively ended.

Earlier this week, Trump described his adversaries as ‘crazy’ and asserted that ‘they want to take me out,’ though he acknowledged their eagerness to negotiate a deal.

While specifics of the plot were not divulged, Trump conveyed his conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, affirming continued cooperation between the nations, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The White House directed The Daily Mail to refer to Trump’s statements made at the NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday for comments.

Trump remarked, “They are looking to eliminate the US leader — meaning me. I found out this morning that I’m on all their lists. Up to now, I’ve been somewhat fortunate, but that might not remain the case,” he expressed.

Trump added: ‘These are evil, sick people. And we have to root out that cancer. That cancer. You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early. And that’s the way I feel.’

The Daily Mail has also reached out to the prime minister for comment.

His warning came as hardline lawmakers in Tehran openly called for missiles to be fired at his location at the summit. Earlier this week, mourners at Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral placed a death bounty on Trump.

The President again brought up his demise during a press conference alongside Marco Rubio and his other top cabinet officials. 

While discussing Iran’s leadership, installed after Khamenei was killed in the war, Trump said: ‘They’re gone now. They have another set of leaders. They may be gone.’

‘Who knows? And you know what, I may be gone too because I’m their number one target. It’s out all over the place. I’m the number one, because they’re scum.’

Trump’s comments come after he declared his ceasefire with Iran ‘over’ and unleashed fresh strikes on the regime after Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

During Khamenei’s funeral on Monday, footage from Tehran shows pro-regime demonstrators with posters featuring red crosshairs over Trump’s face, above the seven-word warning: ‘Sooner or later, your heads will roll.’

Other posters showed the faces of JD Vance and Pete Hegseth over a crosshair with the phrase: ‘There will be blood.’

Chants of ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ rang out across the capital as Khamenei’s coffin was borne through the streets of Tehran.

Iranians were also seen lighting US and British flags on fire while hurling rocks at pictures of Trump. An effigy of Trump being hanged was pictured near the front of the funeral procession.

Khamenei ruled Iran for nearly 37 years before dying in U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that started the war February 28. 

He was laid to rest in his hometown of Mashhad early Friday after days of public mourning.

Khamenei is only the second ruler of the nation to be buried in the city. In 1747, Nader Shah was buried there after he was assassinated following nearly 11 years in power.

The funeral processions began Saturday, with authorities shutting down streets, airspace and daily life in Tehran and other cities, as throngs commemorated the man who led Iran with an iron fist for decades while confronting the West.

The regime’s desire to kill Trump goes back to his first term, following the 2020 drone strike the President ordered that killed Revolutionary Guard general Qasem Soleimani. 

US intelligence repeatedly warned during his 2024 campaign that Iran was plotting to assassinate him as well as former officials from his first term in revenge for the strike.

Federal prosecutors charged a Revolutionary Guard operative with offering $300,000 to have Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton murdered on American soil.

Pompeo and one-time Iran envoy Brian Hook were forced to live under round-the-clock government protection. 

The President’s apparent musing about his death comes just days before the two-year anniversary of the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt that nearly took his life. 

The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general released a report last week that found the Secret Service missed 102 radio calls flagging gunman Thomas Crooks on a nearby roof with a long gun and never warned the agents at Trump’s side to get him off the stage. 

The would-be assassin was shot at the scene in July 2024.

The confusion and uncertainty in Trump’s mixed messaging and his approval of back-to-back military strikes leave major questions about what comes next in the conflict, just weeks after difficult diplomacy to reach even an initial deal between the longtime adversaries.

The whipsawing rhetoric could be a strategy to increase the pressure on Tehran to stop attacking ships transporting oil and natural gas in the Strait of Hormuz and bend to US demands on its nuclear program — something Trump has tried before.

Whether it is a negotiation tactic or a signal of an escalation in fighting, mediators are scrambling to save the interim deal and the actions risk further inflaming tensions — which could spell problems for Republicans in November’s midterm elections if gas prices stay high.

Trump warned Wednesday that a new round of US attacks was coming, even as he attempted to shrug off suggestions of a return to full-scale war. 

Hours later, the military announced it was carrying out new attacks on Iran that were meant to ‘further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.’

‘Anything that happens is going to happen very fast,’ Trump said earlier. ‘We’re not looking for a long time.’
