Bezos just got the world's most expensive loss per second 🚀
Reaction: "...we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it."

Oh, Jeff this mindset 🙌

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

@OkayAfrica Thank you so much for sharing our story 🙏💚

Another brilliant African innovation 🌍✨

🇰🇪 Kenyan engineer @_nguthiru is creating plastic alternatives from water hyacinth that look and feel like plastic but naturally decompose. A powerful idea for tackling plastic waste across the continent.

Do you think solutions like this should get more support? ⬇️
