People are Renting Grounded Private Jets to Stunt on Instagram

Most Instagram stars have at least one glamorous shot on a private jet. And now even ordinary people can fake a lavish lifestyle by hiring a grounded private jet as a backdrop for their Instagram snaps – well, at least in Russia they can.

If you can’t actually afford to fly on a private jet, then a company in Russia will help you fake it instead. Moscow-based company, the Private Jet Studio, has created a unique business by renting out a private jet for Instagram photoshoots, but there’s a catch. Russians can experience what stepping onto a luxury private jet feels like, however they won’t actually be travelling anywhere, with the plane remaining firmly on the ground during the experience.



But that hasn’t stopped people from paying to rent out the Gulfstream 65 aeroplane to capture photos for Instagram bragging. You can have your photos taken inside the aircraft, as you relax on the comfortable white leather seats, with a glass of expensive champagne and a plate of delicious foods in front of you, as you prepare to board the plane, with a gorgeous model waiting for you on the steps, or as you arrive at your fictional destination. Private Jet Studio is also open to suggestions, as long as you’re willing to pay extra.

A two-hour shoot with a professional photographer costs 14,000 roubles (£185) or 11,000 roubles (£145) without. A videographer is also available for £330. Photos posted on the company’s Instagram account show customers pretending to be thousands of feet in the air by looking longingly out of the plane’s windows.

Private Jet Studio’s representative tells TJ Journal some customers don’t mind if the company puts their photos on Instagram. But the others don’t want it to be known that they took photo in a studio.

Police Arrest White Man Who Attempted Robbery in Blackface

black-face

A man in blackface and wearing a beanie  who was caught on surveillance video trying to rob a Corona bank in August was arrested in his Lake Elsinore home Wednesday, Riverside County sheriff’s officials said Thursday.

Investigators gathered enough evidence to serve a search warrant Wednesday at the Lake Elsinore home of Jerrad Schmittle, 40, according to a sheriff’s press release. Schmittle was subsequently arrested on suspicion of attempted robbery.

On the afternoon of Aug. 18, deputies from the Lake Elsinore sheriff’s station were called to the Wells Fargo Bank in the 11000 block of De Palma Road in Corona after a silent alarm was triggered, according to the statement.



Investigators learned a white man, “with obvious dark make-up to disguise his appearance,” had given a teller a note that demanded money, officials said. The man also told the teller he had a gun.

After waiting for a few seconds, the man, later identified as Schmittle, ran off without getting any money, sheriff’s officials said.

The man’s identity remained unknown until Nov. 1, when new leads led investigators to Schmittle’s home, according to the sheriff’s statement.

Schmittle was booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center in French Valley.

Authorities ask anyone with information on the case to call the Lake Elsinore sheriff’s station at 951-245-3300.

FOOD ALLERGY DEATH: 3-Year-Old Dies After Given Grilled Cheese at Preschool

cheese

Officials in New York City are investigating the death of a three-year-old boy who suffered an allergic reaction and died after an employee at his preschool allegedly gave him a grilled cheese sandwich, despite documentation on file warning about his severe allergy to dairy.

The incident occurred on November 3rd at the Seventh Avenue Center for Family Services in Harlem. According to a GoFundMe page set up by his family, the boy named Elijah was given a grilled cheese sandwich by a supervising adult “despite them knowing and having documented that he has a severe allergy to dairy.”



To make matters worse, the preschool called the boy’s mother to pick up him up and take him to the hospital instead of calling 911, the family said.

The preschool has been shut down while the investigation is ongoing. Christopher Miller, a spokesman for the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, said, “There is nothing more important than the safety of our children and we are deeply saddened by this tragedy. We will get to the bottom of what happened here.” (ABC News)

According to ESPN, the players are being accused of stealing from a Louis Vuitton store in Shanghai. 20 local police reportedly showed up to the Hyatt Hangzhou to question players, who were set to play in their season opener in China on Friday. The players were reportedly placed in a room for hours and not allowed to speak to anyone – not even their coaches.



They could face 3-10 years for the shoplifting charge if standard practices apply. The sentencing could shift depending on the amount Chinese authorities are able to prove was stolen.
