MrBeast was reduced to tears during his latest challenge, which saw him buried alive in a coffin for seven days. The YouTuber, real name Jimmy Donaldson, is best known for his highly elaborate and expensive stunts and challenges which can test his and others own physical limits. In his latest video Donaldson attempted to better the record he set in 2021 when he was buried alive for 50 hours. This time the 25-year-old was encassed in a transparent coffin where the rest of his crew could see him via cameras and talk to him via walkie talkies. Donaldson did have food and water supplies with him to help him last the seven days but it proved to be far more mentally tasking than he had anticipated. During several moments in the challenge, including when he was being freed from the casket and the dirt, started to cry. Donaldson even admitted that he didn't understand why he was crying during these moments. Although he made it through the challenge there was a concern that he might not be able to stand up properly as he might have developed blood clots in his legs. Luckily for him that didn't transpire and he was given the all clear by doctor leaving him to celebrate passing the challenge and also achieving more than 200 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, with the milestone passing while he was underground. This new achievement for Donaldson comes not longer after he was accussed by fellow YouTuber Rosanna Pansino of 'faking' his videos.

US President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping struck a series of agreements during high-stakes talks held

Home Alone fans have come up with a creative theory as to how Kevin McCallister's father managed to afford their family mansion and a trip to Paris for nine people. The Christmas hit was released over 30 years ago and remains one of the most popular films during the festive season – but no one has ever thought to pose the question of how the McCallisters afforded their lavish lifestyle, until now. In a resurfaced viral TikTok, Brian Rooney lifted the lid on the fan theory that suggests Peter McCallister was a "mob boss" and went on to claim "Harry and Marv were from a rival family and they were seeking revenge which is why they were hitting up the block". @roon_tang Don’t step to Kevin #homealone #homealonemovie #homealonememes #movies #fantheory #fantheories #comedy #satire #rant #kevinmccallister "I think the whole theory of Kevin’s dad being a mobster makes total sense just based off Kevin’s behaviour," he continues, calling Kevin a "straight up G." "When Kevin found out that Harry and Marv were going to rob his house, it didn’t even occur to him to ever call the police," Brian says. "Kevin stuck to the G code of ‘this is my house. I have to defend it’. That’s the most gangster s*** ever." He added: "At the end he didn’t talk to the police at all. He didn’t give them a statement. He just kept his mouth shut. That’s some G code s**t which he would have had to learn from his mob boss dad." Rooney went on to say: "Y’all better recognise Kevin McCallister was a stone-cold thug." Fellow TikTokers soon flooded the clip, with one chiming in: "Kevin’s parents also are wearing Burberry coats." Another added: "His mom was apparently a fashion designer and his dad was a 'businessman' so his dad being a mobster is kinda plausible." Meanwhile, one person said: "Kevin's dad didn't pay for the trip, his brother in Paris did. People tend to miss that line of dialogue because it was kinda in the background."

An Airbnb host has faced huge criticism after being accused of attempting to triple the price of a person’s stay in New Orleans when they learned they were going to see Taylor Swift. The home-hosting website Airbnb can be a great alternative for cheap accommodation on short stays, but it is not without its faults, as some guests have been left horrified by finding hidden cameras and tunnels within the house. One woman has opened up about her bad experience, revealing that a host attempted to triple the price she paid for a stay after finding out Taylor Swift was in town. TikToker Ariel Stewart shared screenshots of the messages she claims were between herself and the host in a viral clip, which has been viewed 3.4 million times. In the post caption, Stewart explained: “An Airbnb host tried to not only get me to pay triple after accepting my reservation for the nightly rate as posted but wanted me to cancel after it was their own fault for not paying attention to dates.” Pictures shared by Stewart appear to show she had booked a stay between 24 October and 26 October and had told the host, Heather, that she was attending a nearby Taylor Swift concert with her stepdaughter. The host replied, explaining that the price had not been “properly set” and that they would have to “collect additional funds”. When Stewart asked how much the price would now be, Heather informed her it would now cost $2,400 plus taxes and fees. Stewart explained in the messages that she had been in touch with Airbnb support who advised her not to cancel. She also said she would be unwilling to pay the upped charge. The host offered another house that was further away from the concert venue, despite appearing to have no right to make Stewart pay more for the property she had already booked. Stewart explained in her message: “I am sorry but the request will stay as it is because I know that the other location is definitely further and we did not want to be too far from the Superdome. “I decline changing the rate to a more expensive rate and decline to have my reservation moved to another location. After speaking with Airbnb, you can choose to cancel me but it will penalize you and block those dates from being booked in the future.” When Stewart would not cancel her original booking, the host threatened that they would not give her the entry codes to access the property. In another update, Stewart shared screenshots of the message she exchanged with Airbnb Support which appeared to corroborate her claims that it was the host’s fault and she did not have to cancel. @arielnicolestewart Replying to @Tuna i had sent this lady on airbnb support all the message thread, and now it has been escalated to higher ups. #airbnb @airbnb Despite the host claiming she was stealing from a “small business”, most on TikTok were firmly on Stewart’s side. “She only wanted to change the price because you mentioned Taylor Swift and realized she messed up. Good for you!” one person said. Another joked: “How dare you not help them price gouge.” Someone else said: “Did they really just call property hoarding a ‘small business’? I die.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Concerns were raised after a now-deleted video resurfaced on TikTok that shows a woman on a flight claiming she was being human trafficked. In the initial clip, posted by user @phillypolish and now reshared by viewers who managed to save the footage, the woman can be seen standing in the middle of the plane aisle repeatedly saying she is being trafficked. "'They're trying to put stuff on me. Get off. Get the f*** off. Get off please," she shouts, as staff members try to calm her down. "'This is going to go on TikTok so I look crazy, but I am being human trafficked," she alleged once more. "'If they have your family hostage don't believe it, they use f***ing emotional manipulation, this is not REAL," the woman says before screaming "No!" The original account has since been deleted from TikTok, but worried users have since shared their concerns. "Where is this we need more info if this is true she needs help," one person said, while another added: "I have so many questions." The incident was rumoured to have been on a Southwest flight. Indy100 has reached out for comment. @spam39231 deleted post from 11/13 phillypolish It comes after Tiffany Gomas revealed what she really saw onboard a flight earlier this year when she claimed "that motherf***er is not real." In a recent podcast appearance, she underwhelmingly confessed she saw "nothing". "It was not my best moment … it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying. How horribly mortifying," she said. When asked who, or what, she saw on that flight, she underwhelmingly told the hosts, she saw nothing. "I literally did not see anything," she said. "It was an expression of speech." "They’re making me look bat s***. And given, I did, I did look absolutely crazy but, no — I was in my feels, needed to get that off that, I was highly distressed. Not a good look," she continued. How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
