CNN reporter arrested in compromising situation · PinkNews
The reporter, described on the news website as, “one of the most instantly recognisable members of the CNN team,” was found with a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals.
This “regrettable incident” was defended by Quest’s lawyer, Alan Abramson, as being much less controversial than the facts may suggest. “Mr Quest didn’t realise that the park had a curfew,” he argued. The lawyer went on to claim that Quest was merely “returning to his hotel with friends”.

Richard Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside New York’s Central park, a police source said.
The news reporter immediateley informed the police officer, “I’ve got some meth in my pocket.” The officer then searched the popular business reporters car and found a sex toy.

Does anybody know how the rope thing works?
On second thought, I don't think I want to know!

Not a pilot here but I am intrigued about this news.
It sounds like it is pretty common to be faced with monsoonal storm cells in South East Asia. My question is:
1a. How much time + storm severity knowledge does the pilot have in preparation before entering the storm cell(s)? Would they/control tower study the weather radars before lifting off?
1b. Is there a grading system for storms usually faced by pilots (e.g. dangerous, moderate, light). If so, will this help a pilot assess the risk in approaching the storm?
2. Do different pilots have different approaches to a storm cell (e.g. going around it, entering it face on or flying above it). I understand that there is an important factor of neighboring air traffic and orders from the control tower.
3. Is it common for the pilot to do an emergency landing because of the weather conditions/risk and air traffic that disallowed going 'around the storm cell'.
P.S. Apologies for the inaccurate terminologies (if any). Reminder: Not a professional here
