SloveniaIn late June, a small aircraft crashed into the Citic Tower, also known as China Zun, the tallest building in Beijing and one of the tallest buildings in the world. The incident occurred during a traffic peak in the city's business district. Initial reports indicated that the pilot had crashed into the building due to 'personal reasons.' The pilot, identified only by his surname Liu, was 66 years old and suffered from chronic insomnia and anxiety. He died in the crash, while 13 others were injured. Authorities stated that Liu had written in his diary about intentions to take his own life. Liu had obtained a sports pilot license in 2021 and a private pilot license in 2024. The incident sparked significant attention, but all mentions of the event and related videos were quickly removed from Chinese social media platforms.
