Delta Crash Survivor

I Thought I Was Going to Die!!!

Nate Richie is one of the passengers who survived the Delta plane crash in Toronto … and he’s scoffing at the airline’s $30,000 offer.
Nate tells us he hasn’t been able to sleep since Monday’s crash and he doesn’t think the $30K offer extended to survivors is remotely close to the toll the incident is taking on his mental health.
He has hired attorney Ardalan Montazer, and he doesn’t believe he’ll ever fly again … that’s how traumatized he is by the crash landing.
Nate’s actually driving back to Florida instead of flying home … telling us it’s been days since he’s seen his family, and he’s reached out to a therapist for help.

As we reported … Delta is offering to cut $30K checks to the dozens of people who were on the flight, and the airline says the money comes with no strings attached — and anyone who accepts the payment can still take legal action against the airline.
Nate says it’s all too much for him to deal with right now … telling us he needs more time after a brush with death.

He gives us a play-by-play account of the doomed landing … and says he thought his life was over when he was hanging upside down in the plane with jet fuel wafting through the air and running down the windows.
Passengers and crew were able to escape … but Nate says moments after he got off the plane there was an explosion near the door where he exited.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is still underway.
MMA’s Guilherme Vasconcelos
Cause Of Death Revealed
Published
Guilherme “Bomba” Vasconcelos — an MMA fighter who competed in the UFC and Bellator, and dated Demi Lovato — died by suicide, according to newly-released documents.
TMZ Sports obtained the case report from the October 15 incident … which state cops were dispatched to an Illinois home around 9 AM after a woman reported finding Vasconcelos in the garage.
After reviewing security camera footage … cops determined Vasconcelos took his own life the night prior around 11:45 PM — and was not discovered until the following morning.
A search of the house recovered several vials of anabolic steroids, with two mostly empty and two unopened. A suicide note was not discovered.
According to a toxicology report … it yielded only one positive finding — caffeine.
Over the course of his MMA career … Vasconcelos racked up a record of 10-6. He and Lovato were first spotted together in 2017 during New Year’s Eve festivities after several months of dating.
Guilherme’s uncle, Walter, mourned the loss of his nephew at the time … saying, “We were looking forward to your visit for Christmas, which will no longer happen. Life is fleeting, and we woke up to this devastating news. What a time we live in.”
RIP

Justin Bieber
Snaps at Paparazzi
… So Disrespectful!!!
Published
BACKGRID
Justin Bieber was getting snapped and then he snapped … unloading on a paparazzi for saying something the pop star felt was disrespectful.
Ya gotta see the heated interaction between Justin and a photog … with the Biebs snapping at the guy, set off by the dude saying “Thank you.”
Justin asks the photog — who is not a TMZ cameraman — why he’s thanking him … and explains why it’s disrespectful to do so.
Bieber was heading back to his SUV with Hailey Bieber after grabbing breakfast at Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles … and paps were waiting for him.
Justin told the guy to stick to taking pictures and letting him do his thing … with no need to thank JB for anything.
We don’t usually see this kind of reaction from Justin … so it’s pretty interesting.
Justin and Hailey hanging out in public is noteworthy too … the couple was dogged by break-up rumors last month but they squashed it and now they’re out together.
