The Most Searched On Google In 2023

Dec 26 2023

Here are some of 2023’s most search Google trends.

Some of these are really no surprise at all – with Matthew Perry’s passing and the Barbie Movie’s box office record breaking undoubtedly making the top ranks.

Some were a bit more surprising for most, but looking at the context surrounding them gives an explanation as to why to rose to prominence – Shakira’s tax fraud case and Jeremy Renner’s life-threatening incident.

When it comes to non-entertainment, the war in Gaza and Israel took first place as the top news item.

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s Park Guell was Google Maps’ Top Searched Park. Spotify Camp Nou in Barcelona was also the most searched stadium on Google Maps.

Real Life Home Alone? 6 Year Old Put On Wrong Flight

Dec 26 2023

On December 21, a 6-year-old child traveling alone on a Spirit Airlines flight intended for Fort Myers, Florida, was inadvertently placed on a plane bound for Orlando, according to an apology issued by the airline to CNN.

Spirit Airlines acknowledged the error, attributing it to the child being “incorrectly boarded.” The airline assured that the child had been continuously supervised by a Spirit team member, and upon discovering the mistake, immediate actions were taken to rectify the situation and communicate with the family.

Maria Ramos, who identified the child as her grandson, recounted her panic when her grandson failed to disembark from the intended flight in Fort Myers.

Subsequently, Ramos received a call from her grandson upon his arrival in Orlando. Ramos and her family undertook a nearly 160-mile drive to retrieve the child.

While Spirit Airlines offered reimbursement for the journey, Ramos emphasized the need for an explanation regarding the incident.

The airline, in its statement, expressed regret for the ordeal, pledged to investigate the matter internally, and underscored their commitment to the safety and responsibility of passenger transportation.

MSPCA Discovers Abandoned Puppy in Dumpster Days Before the Holidays

Dec 25 2023

In a heart-wrenching story just days before Christmas, the Malta Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (MSPCA) took to social media to share a distressing discovery – a dog found abandoned in a dumpster.

The MSPCA, being the oldest animal welfare and homing centre on the island, has a primary mission focused on rehoming animals, ensuring they receive the utmost love, care, and attention. As they reach out for support, you can visit their website to make a donation, contributing to their ongoing efforts.

The MSPCA is actively seeking more information to build a case for this unfortunate puppy, now named Zara. They are urging the community to come forward with any details and contact them at [email protected].

While advocating for the adoption of animals over purchasing during the festive season, MSPCA delivers an essential reminder. Pets are not mere Christmas presents; they demand significant time and attention. The organisation encourages prospective pet owners to evaluate their capacity for commitment to ensure that the animal doesn’t end up unloved or neglected.

This Christmas you can also donate to MSPCA by visiting their website.
