A bull ride for Chris Hemsworth's daughter, and a flydubai cockpit, fill news.com.au's week
Fifteen uploads ran from a rodeo win in an all-boys competition to Arnold Schwarzenegger's suggestion for retired robots.
news.com.auStory of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Chris Hemsworth’s daughter wins a bull-riding competition
A rodeo clip did the heaviest lifting. "Chris Hemsworth's daughter wins a bull-riding competition" went up on Wednesday and has passed 400,000 views. It is built on footage the actor shared on Instagram of his daughter's ride in an all-boys competition. Four days on, it is still drawing more views a day than anything else on the channel.
The comment section has turned into a debate about the sport itself. Some viewers raise safety, and many more answer that plenty of children ride in rodeos and that this one clearly loves it. A good number simply point out that she lasted the full eight seconds.
The other big story was far more serious. Two reports cover the flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, where an attack in the cockpit ended with passengers forcing their way in and off-duty pilots landing the plane in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The passenger footage, which we reported on here, had the bigger first day. Wednesday's "Hero passengers stop highjacking on flight to Israel" has since picked up again and is now gathering views almost as quickly as the rodeo clip.
The Reserve Bank's fourth rate rise of the year drew its own segment. So did Figure's retired F.02 robots, sent into molten steel after Arnold Schwarzenegger said he wanted to watch.
Overall it was a softer week than usual for the channel, with daily views below its normal pace and subscribers holding still. Among similar news channels, TalkTV is running a little above its usual level, while 7 News Spotlight is steady and smaller.
