As a gesture of kindness, he also stipulated that his mother-in-law and his own parents each receive £100,000, provided they survived him. If, however, they did not outlive him, he directed that this sum be divided equally among his three children: James, Elizabeth, and Helena.
In a heart-wrenching tribute after last August's tragedy, the family of the couple said: 'Our only comfort is that they are still together now.'
They said: 'We are grieving for our loved ones and all of those affected by the tragedy. Our parents were incredible people and an inspiration to many, but first and foremost they were focused on and loved their family and spending time with their new grandchildren.
'Together for five decades, our only comfort is that they are still together now. This is an unimaginable grief to shoulder.'

Were his children also not to survive beyond Bloomer, his estate would have been split between his two brothers, Jeremy and Andrew, and his sister-in-law Gillian. The Bloomers were among the 22 passengers on the Bayesian when it sank on Aug. 19, 2024, off the coast of Porticello, though it remains unclear why exactly it went down so quickly.
Yacht chef Recaldo Thomas; British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter, Hannah Lynch; and New York City-based lawyer Christopher Morvillo and his wife, Neda also died.

Indian aviation ecosystem under the lens: DGCA orders 'comprehensive special audit'
DGCA NEW DELHI: Jolted by the tragic crashes of Air India flight 171 and multiple helicopters in Uttrakhand within the last one month, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a 'comprehensive special audit' of Indian aviation ecosystem. This covers scheduled, non-scheduled, and private airlines; maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organisations; approved training organisations (ATOs); flying schools; air navigation service provider; airport operators, and ground handling agencies (GHAs). The audit will focus on 'examining the safety management systems (SMS), operational practices, and regulatory adherence across all aviation domains.' It will also audit 'supporting elements such as technology providers, emergency response systems, supply chain networks, and regulatory coordination bodies.' Air safety expert Amit Singh said: 'DGCA has been auditing aviation since time immemorial. Wouldn't it be prudent to invite a third party to audit and why (have past) DGCA audits failed to reign in safety?' Same was the reaction of several others in the industry who have seen multiple audits, enhanced surveillances in the past. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo Also, for several years, the frail financial health of many aviation ecosystem players — specially airlines — has been a key vulnerability and the resolution for this is beyond the DGCA's scope. 'Very often in the last 2-3 decades such weak players (many of who have now shut shop) have warned authorities they will shut down if forced to dot all Is and cross all Ts which will affect connectivity,' said industry insiders. "Hopefully the recent crashes will change things." The audit order issued by DGCA chief Faiz Ahmed Kidwai says: 'Traditionally, regulatory and safety oversight functions within Indian aviation have been conducted in silos, with different directorates performing inspections and audits specific to their respective domains. These activities include planned/unplanned surveillance inspections, random spot checks and ramp inspections, which primarily assess compliance and safety within individual aviation segments. ' 'In a significant paradigm shift, the comprehensive special audit is designed to transcend existing siloed assessments by evaluating the aviation ecosystem holistically…. The goal is to generate a 360-degree evaluation of the aviation ecosystem, reflecting both its strengths and areas needing improvement. These special audits will be over and above the regulatory audits carried out as per the annual surveillance programme,' Kidwai's order says. The special audits will be conducted by multidisciplinary teams led by a senior DGCA official (DDG/director) as the lead auditor, supported by specialists from flight standards, air safety, airworthiness, airspace & air navigation services, licensing, and aerodrome standards directorates. 'Whenever necessary, external experts from industry may be included to provide specialised insights. This diverse team composition ensures a comprehensive evaluation that leverages both regulatory expertise and industry-specific knowledge, fostering credible and actionable findings,' the order says. Once the audit is over, the findings will be shared with the audited entities. They, in turn, will need to submit a corrective action plan (CAP) within 15 days. 'DGCA will monitor CAP implementation through progress reviews and verification audits, ensuring effective resolution of findings…. Non-compliance with audit findings or failure to implement CAPs may result in progressive enforcement actions, including advisory guidance, formal warnings, operational restrictions, financial penalty, suspension, or revocation of licenses… Enforcement decisions will consider public safety, compliance history, and entity cooperation, ensuring fairness and proportionality/natural justice,' the order says.

Truth Social crashes minutes after US Strikes Iran: Here's Donald Trump's 'Live-post' that likely caused the outage
Source: X Truth Social malfunctioned reportedly went down minutes after President Donald Trump's announcement that the United States had bombed Iran's nuclear facilities. As per screenshots shared on social media platforms, starting around 8 pm ET on Saturday (June 21), attempts to load the social network displayed error messages saying: 'Network failed,' 'Please try again.' For those unaware, Truth Social is owned by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). DownDetector, a website that crowdsources service outages, saw an influx of reports of Truth Social going down around 8 pm. The reason for the apparent outage was not immediately clear. NetBlocks , which monitors internet accessibility, posted on BlueSky just before 9 pm ET: 'Truth Social is experiencing international outages for many users after US President Donald Trump announces strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran; incident not related to country-level internet disruptions or filtering.' Likely cause of Truth Social outage Reports suggest that Truth Social started facing issues soon after Trump posted first update on the Iran attack. Trump posted around 7.46 pm ET that the United States had entered Israel's war against Iran stating that the US had waged a 'very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.' Some screenshots suggest API congestion as the cause of the disruption. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo All planes are now outside of Iran air space.

There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.' Trump frequently shares posts to Truth Social about issues of national and international importance. The president appeared to post multiple times after news of the US bombings against Iran were first announced. A significant portion of Trump's net worth is reportedly derived from his stake in TMTG, Truth Social's parent company. According to a report in Wired, earlier this week, Truth Social reportedly sent an email to at least some users encouraging them to follow Trump's account. The email read in part, 'If you aren't following President Donald J. Trump on Truth Social, you're missing an essential resource for navigating world affairs today.' AI Masterclass for Students.

Rally, reversal or both? June 24–27 could decide Nifty's next big move
The Nifty50 wrapped up the week on a strong note, registering a 1.5% gain for the week ended June 20, 2025. A sharp Friday rally saw the index surge 1.29%, closing at 25,112 — recouping much of the week's earlier losses and once again validating the power of precision-based trading. Timing the Market: Tactical Accuracy at Play At Wealthview Analytics, our time-based analysis has once again delivered striking precision across the week: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Eat Ginger Everyday for 1 Month This is What Happens Tips and Tricks Undo Monday (June 16): Our call for a 9:45 AM reversal played out exactly, marking the day's low, followed by a rally until 1:30 PM — another key time window we shared. Tuesday (June 17): The day's high formed near our 9:20 AM alert, followed by a decline into our 12:45 PM slot. Both reversal points were precisely captured. Wednesday (June 18): A single time cycle was flagged — 2:30 PM — and the day's low formed exactly at that moment. Live Events Thursday (June 19): Slight deviation with a 30-minute offset. The high came in at 9:45 AM versus our alert at 10:25 AM — an acceptable margin in real-time trading. Friday (June 20): A powerful upside burst began at 9:45 AM, matching our forecast perfectly. Price Action in Sync: Key Levels Respected Price zones also played a pivotal role: The 24,980 resistance level acted as a ceiling on both Monday and Tuesday, with Nifty reversing precisely from there. Another critical level — 24,850 — was tested and respected on Tuesday and Thursday, acting alternately as support and resistance. Importantly, our prior June 13 time-cycle forecast flagged a potential swing bottom, and Nifty did exactly that — turning from a key support level and launching into recovery. What's Next? Time-Cycle Alert: June 25 ±1 Day Looking ahead, traders should be on high alert for June 25 ±1 trading day (June 24–26) — a critical reversal window that could trigger a breakout or mark a trend exhaustion. Time clusters on June 24 and June 27 further reinforce the tactical importance of the coming week. Intraday Action Plan: Time Slots to Track Use the following intraday windows for potential reversals, breakout setups, or ideal entry/exit points: Monday, June 23: 10:30 AM | 12:00 PM | 1:30 PM Tuesday, June 24: 9:20 AM | 10:20 AM | 11:30 AM | 2:00 PM Wednesday, June 25: 11:40 AM | 1:15 PM | 2:35 PM | 3:05 PM Thursday, June 26: 10:15 AM | 12:25 PM Friday, June 27: 10:45 AM | 12:40 PM | 1:30 PM | 2:35 PM Crucial Levels on Nifty (Spot) Supports: 24,978 | 24,856 | 24,676 | 24,538 Resistances: 25,085 | 25,145 | 25,322 | 25,434 These levels remain in play, and any breakout beyond the 24,980–25,085 resistance zone or breakdown below the 24,443–24,620 support band may trigger a fresh directional move. Trading Outlook: Volatility Meets Opportunity With a powerful confluence of time and price signals this week, tactical traders can expect multiple opportunities. Watch for breakout attempts near resistance and potential reversal signs around the time clusters — particularly June 24–26. As always, manage risk with discipline and stay anchored to price confirmation.
