This photo taken on Nov. 13, 2024 shows pedestrians walking past the four-storey Arimaston Building by Japanese architect Keisuke Oka in the Mita area of Minato Ward in Tokyo. Passers-by stop and stare at the ramshackle, hand-built concrete tower that looks like it has been lifted right out of a Japanese animation and dropped onto a real-life Tokyo street. Oka started construction in 2005. Apart from the help of a few friends, he made the entire building himself by hand. (Photo by Richard A. Brooks / AFP)

Firefighters carry the body of a passenger from the wreckage of an aircraft that crashed after it went off the runway at Muan International Airport in Muan, South Korea, Dec. 29, 2024. At least 179 people died when the Jeju Air jet belly-landed and skidded off the end of the runway, erupting in a fireball as it slammed into a wall at the ariport. Two people, both crew members, were pulled out of the wreckage alive. The plane, carrying 181 people, was returning from Bangkok. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji TPX
