The Avianca Airbus, which was flying from Lima in Peru to Buenos Aires in Argentina, was dramatically rocked at around 41,000ft. Images of injured people standing by their seats, oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling and panels snapped and dented emerged online following the incident. One passenger claimed that it was 'a miracle that passengers survived'.

The England team coach, carrying the likes of captain Wayne Rooney and Premier League title-winner Jamie Vardy, is pictured driving past Max Zorin's famous villain lair from the 1985 Bond film, A View to a Kill (left).

In the film Zorin (pictured top right, played by Christopher Walken with co-star Grace Jones) plans to destroy California's Silicon Valley. And Bond, played by Roger Moore (bottom right), is sent to infiltrate the fortress and ultimately save the day.

This incredible drone footage of the Flying Scotsman steaming across a picturesque viaduct is an impressive sight - and not just for trainspotters. A cloudy, grey day was brightened up by the iconic locomotive chugging along the tracks of the Harringworth viaduct in Northamptonshire - the longest masonry viaduct in Britain. Hundreds of amazed onlookers gathered in the field below as the magnificent train sped down the railway on its journey from London to York.

George Guille, 33, first left his home island of Sark in the Channel islands nine years ago and since then has clocked up 110,000 miles. He quit his plumbing apprenticeship, bought a motorcycle from the mainland and fled the island, which has a population of just 500 people. Since then he's travelled the world on his motorbike in a bid to discover and understand different cultures. George, who refuses to use guidebooks, drives aimlessly through countries, following tip-offs from locals about where to visit and then discovers places by himself.

The Castello di Sammezzano in Tuscany, Italy, was built in the early 17th century by Spanish nobles and was even visited by Emperor Charlemagne, before it was turned into a hotel-restaurant. It has been empty since the 1990s when the hotel business closed. Despite the last refurbishment taking place in 1889, the property amazingly still retains its glorious former appearance.

The giant plane was put to the bottom of the sea on Saturday afternoon near Kusadasi in Aydin province. The aim of sinking the aircraft - which has a wingspan of 144 feet and a length of 177 feet - is to promote artificial reef diving, which is hugely popular with experienced divers.

This is the heart-stopping moment a daredevil diver came inches away from a one-and-a-half ton Great White shark and patted it on the nose and mouth off the coast of Guadalupe Island, Mexico.

At the beginning of the video the man can be heard laughing as the lizard, which resembles the creature that kills character Dennis Nedry in 1993's Jurassic Park (inset), jumps up at his camera lens. After a few seconds the cameraman backs up to try and get away from the creature. However, he does not succeed.

Since being uploaded to YouTube the video has had more than 250,000 views.

'The world's most dangerous road' has never looked more dangerous.

Calling it a 'complete hotel key fail', two travellers exposed a major security flaw when they used their card to unlock multiple rooms at the $38-a-night Rodeway Inn on Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. Footage shows one of the men holding the key for the camera (top left) and using it to open their door (bottom left) before unlocking two adjacent rooms at the budget hotel.

Romain Veillon, 32, from Paris, has spent years travelling across Europe and to countries in Africa and South America to photograph abandoned buildings for his new book, Ask the Dust. Some of his best work includes these photos of a decaying kitchen at a house in Belgium (left), a forgotten piano at a rundown property in Poland (top right), and a staircase in a crumbling building in Portugal (bottom right). The urban explorer is highly secretive, choosing not to reveal the exact locations because he fears they would be 'trashed' by vandals.

The beaches. The sun. The chance that you might bump into Leonardo DiCaprio and make him your husband!  The list of reasons to vacation immediately in St Barts (or Saint Barthélemy) is endless.

In the past they would have been tucked away in a private album, but these amusing or cringeworthy snaps of beach holidays have been enshrined on the US-based website Awkward Family Photos. One happy family was photobombed by a sunbather in a lewd position (top left), while a young boy seemed all too pleased when his sister broke down in tears while she was buried in sand (right).

MailOnline Travel's Ted Thornhill finds himself in a zen-like state of relaxation at the incredible The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille in Kenya's dramatic Laikipia Plateau.
