Did EMP affect controls—or was it distracted and stressed pilots or Air Traffic Control?
BREAKING: NIBIRU SPACE DEBRIS strikes United Airlines 737 MAX, pilot injured after the windshield cracked at 36,000 while flying from Denver to Los Angeles, California. Reports have suggested the possibility of the aircraft being hit by falling space debris or a small meteorite, though this remains unconfirmed.
Passengers were later rebooked on a replacement Boeing 737 MAX 9 to complete their journey to Los Angeles with a six-hour delay.
Crashing Planes
The Zetas predicted that air travel would become increasingly risky. On July 23 a plane crashed in Taiwan, during rough weather but other planes were landing without problem. On July 24 a plane flying over Mali went missing, had diverted its path due to rough weather, and was found crashed the next day. On July 25 a plane flying to Barcelona, Spain was struck by lightning so severely that a forced landing occurred. Is this the new normal? Air Algerie Flight AH5017 Crashes in Niger Due to Bad Weather
For the past decade, the compass has been unreliable. GPS likewise, as the Earth wobble moves the globe under the network of satellites, and the wobble is getting worse. Recently, two air planes landed in Missouri and Kansas 9 miles from their proper destinations, due to GPS failure. Recently 50 planes disappeared from radar over the Danube River in Europe, over a period of days. Pilots and the air traffic controllers are increasingly flying blind. Then there is the dramatic zapping of airplane electronics, as occurred for AF 447 in 2009 and MH 370 earlier this year. Which factors were responsible for these three airline disasters in July, 2014? The Zetas explain.
ZetaTalk Insight 7/25/2014: A TransAsia Airways was landing near Taiwan on July 23, 2014 in the aftermath of a Typhoon that had passed the region, and though several other planes were able to land just prior, at 7:06 pm local time the plane crashed into homes near the airport, killing 48 aboard. The Sun was high over India, so a side swipe of the charged tail of Planet X disrupted the steady state of the Earth’s magnetic field on the dusk side of the globe. One might call this an electro-magnetic flux, rather than pulse, but this is just as disruptive to electronics. Although the pilot was having difficulty landing, making a second pass, the public will only hear that rain created poor visibility.
A SwiftAir plane encountered bad weather in Mali on July 24, 2014 just before dawn at 4:30 am local time and was later discovered crashed, all 116 aboard dead. The Sun was high over India at the time, a point when the Earth wobble swings to the right, but visibility was also affected by the atmospheric turmoil. Thunderstorms do not bring down aircraft, however, nor did the SwiftAir fly into a mountain. At pre-dawn over Mali, this plane also encountered a side-swipe of the charged tail of Planet X, stalling the engines long enough to plunge the plane into the ground. The public will only hear of bad weather, however.
On July 25, 2017 an EasyJet landing in Spain close to noon at 10:10 am made an emergency landing as it had been devastated by lightning, all 116 aboard saved, thus. Planes are protected from lightning strikes, but this assault was considered so devastating the pilot was taking no chances. The assault was sudden, unexpected, and once again near water as both Barcelona and the emergency landing were along the coastline with the Mediterranean. As with the European radar outages on June 5-10, 2014 in the afternoons, the timing was when the Sun was overhead, close to noon. Facing Planet X, direct arcing to the charged tail occurred, and such lightning storms will likewise be on the increase, increasing devastation for air travel.Source: ZetaTalk Newsletter Issue 410
Germanwings Crash
Yet another airplane crashes due to electro-magnetic pulse. This time the crash was in the heart of Europe in the foothills of the Alps. The Zetas explain that stretch zones are susceptible to attracting the charged tail of Planet X, and the Eurasian Plate is under a stretch.
- Germanwings Crash: Plane Obliterated, 150 Presumed Dead
March 24, 2015
http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/24/europe/france-plane-crash/index.html- March 24, 2015. A Germanwings Airbus A320 plane carrying at least 148 people crashed Tuesday in the foothills of the Alps in southeastern France. The plane crashed near Digne-les-Bains, in the Alpes de Haute Provence region.
- Germanwings Plane Crashes In South France, 150 Feared Dead
March 24, 2015
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/24/germanwings-plane-crash- The cause of the crash was not immediately clear. There did not appear to be turbulence or low cloud ceiling in the area.
ZetaTalk Summary 3/28/2015: We have repeatedly stressed that certain parts of the globe are susceptible to interaction with the charged tail of Planet X. This is certainly the case on the Sunda Plate, which is under continuous pressure to slip under the curve of the Indo-Australian Plate, as the MH 370 disaster shows. Stretch zones are most susceptible to the electromagnetic screech in the rock and the interplay with the charged tail of Planet X that causes interference with airplane electronics. This can be seen by AF 447 in 2009 while over the spreading Atlantic Rift. All of the Eurasian Plate, from the UK through to China, is under such a stretch. This can be seen in the hum in the UK and disappearing radar over the Danube River course and methane flashes in the Urals and the Sleepy Hollow phenomena.
What was the cause of the Germanwings crash? What is known is that the plane reached cruising speed and then began a descent. Meanwhile there was no communication from the cockpit, though communication lines had been open just a minute before the descent. If there was total electronic failure, as happened for AF 447 in 2009 and MH 370 in 2014, with no oxygen pumped into the cockpit or passenger cabin, the pilot can become unconscious.
- Airbus A320 Plane Crash in Southern France
March 24, 2015
http://rt.com/news/243533-plane-crash-german-wings/- Germanwings say they are not aware of any complications during the descent of the aircraft. It started descending one minute after reaching its cruising height and continued to lose altitude for eight minutes, before finally crashing. Air traffic controllers said they were in contact with the pilots of the Germanwings A320 aircraft just a minute before the plane started to descend.
- Britons on Board Doomed Germanwings Flight 4U 9525
March 25, 2015
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3009151/headlines-news-Germanwings- Air traffic controllers claimed they received no SOS despite the jet nosediving 32,000 ft in just eight minutes. It is understood to have crashed at more than 400mph.
Without oxygen, the pilots and crew as well as the passengers will quickly become sleepy, confused, nauseous, and unconscious. If brain death occurs within four minutes, the stage where one is confused and unconscious occurs very quickly, in less than a minute. Electromagnetic pulse also affects electronics selectively, some incapacitated, some only damaged, but other managing to function. Electromagnetic pulse also makes one sleepy, as the Sleepy Hollow phenomena shows.
- Cerebral Hypoxia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hypoxia- Continued oxygen deprivation results in fainting, long-term loss of consciousness, coma, seizures, cessation of brain stem reflexes, and brain death.
- Asphyxia
http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Oxygen+deprivation- Symptoms of asphyxia vary but may include light-headedness, nausea, and gasping, followed by unconsciousness and death. An area quickly affected is the cerebral cortex, the brain center for speech and other conscious behavior; it can be irreparably damaged by as little as five minutes of oxygen deprivation.
- Electromagnetic Pulse
http://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/emp.htm- The electromagnetic pulse induces large currents in conductors that are part of or are connected to the equipment. These high currents can do the following: Induce voltages high enough to arc from one conductor to another, damaging whatever is connected to them. Induce voltages high enough to arc from a conductor to a device, damaging the device. Exceed the current-carrying capabilities of conductors or components in the device, damaging them. Induce voltages that exceed the voltage limitations of components in the device, damaging them. Induce voltages that exceed the breakdown voltage of insulation in the device, damaging other components. Cause voltage spikes that move atoms around in the doping of semiconductors, ruining them. Cause voltage spikes that puncture through the metallic oxide gates in semiconductors, ruining them. Cause all of the sparkplugs in an internal combustion engine to fire at the same time, stopping the engine. Damage the semiconductors in an electronic ignition system, stopping the engine and keeping it from running again. Blow fuses in electric power transmission lines, putting them out of service until the fuses are replaced.
One of the flight data recorders, the voice recorder from the cockpit, was retrieved and revealed that up until the descent all was normal and calm. Then when they reached cruising altitude the pilot left the cockpit and went to the bathroom but could not get back in. In the limited audio released to the media, the pilot can be heard pounding on the door. However, A320 doors are electronically controlled, locking and unlocking electronically. Loss of electronic control would have locked the door and disabled the pad. Or there would have been frantic keypad buzzing, clicking of the toggle switch in the cockpit to re-lock the door, and intercom phone calls. None of this was mentioned by the media. Why not?
- A320 Doors
http://www.smartcockpit.com/aircraft-ressources/A320-Doors.html- Cockpit Door: A forward-opening door separates the cockpit from the passenger compartment. In an emergency it can be forced open in either direction. The door has an electric locking latch controlled by the door unlock pushbutton on the pedestal. To unlock the door, the pilot must press the pushbutton, and maintain it pressed.
- Germanwings Pilot Was Locked Out of Cockpit Before Crash in France
March 26, 2015
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/26/world/europe/germanwings-airbus-crash- The audio indicated that one of the pilots left the cockpit and could not re-enter. “The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door, and there is no answer,” the investigator said. “And then he hits the door stronger, and no answer. There is never an answer.” He said, “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.” Among the theories that have been put forward by air safety analysts not involved in the investigation is the possibility that a pilot could have been incapacitated by a sudden event such as a fire or a drop in cabin pressure.
- Germanwing Crash Not the Full Story
March 29, 2015
http://www.sott.net/article/294482-Germanwings-crash-Not-the-full-story- Arnoux also wonders why no mention was made by investigators of hearing the loud strident beeping made by the cockpit door console when the emergency access code is entered to open the cockpit door. Arnoux recognizes that the emergency unlock code could have been overridden by someone in the cockpit manually holding the lock button down, but this would not have prevented the beeping once the code was entered outside. This would have been the clearest confirmation that one of the pilots had been locked out. Yet no mention was made of it.
The press is claiming the sounds of the co-pilot breathing steadily can be heard, thus his intention to commit suicide. This is more symptomatic of an unconscious co-pilot, as someone deliberately flying into a mountainside would be emotional and breathing rapidly. An unconscious co-pilot could also have fallen sideways onto the joystick, pushing it forward to cause the descent. The media only mentions turning a dial to control descent, which is an adjustment to the autopilot, not the joystick option. Manipulating the joystick overrides the autopilot. Why not? Because for airline profits to be maintained, the co-pilot is being blamed.

http://www.ukessays.com/essays/engineering/the-a320-is-the-first-launched-engineering-essay- The A320 families typically used digital fly-by-wire control systems and control the aircraft by joystick at side-stick usually on right hand side, in commercial aircraft.
- Avcanada Forum
March 25, 2015
http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=102237&start=25- I have a question specifically for Airbus drivers. In normal cruise configuration, should a pilot end up leaning on the sidestick, pushing it forward, what will the aircraft do? Thinking about a possible incapacitation scenario, ie slumped forward due to a heart attack or anurism or some such event. What would the aircraft do with normal cruise set on auto, but a sidestick pushed forward?
ZetaTalk Analysis 3/28/2015: Has the public been allowed to hear the cockpit voice recorder? This will not be allowed, or only after it has been altered to fit the circumstances. What is missing at present is the door access buzzer. Normal exit and entry are via an intercom identification after a single keypad button is pushed. In an emergency a code can be typed into the keypad. It is true that the cockpit can block entry by pressing the lock button continuously. But during all or any of this, a buzzer is loudly sounding. If scraping chairs and a shutting door and steady breathing can be heard, where is the buzzer? The press has made much of the co-pilot breathing “steadily”, proof that he is alive and the crash deliberate. Anyone conscious and seeing a crash into a mountain side looming will not be calm. This is an involuntary response. He would be screaming, and rapidly breathing. Oxygen deprivation first involves confusion and sleepiness, then becoming unconscious, so unless alerted that the oxygen level is dropping, the co-pilot was unaware this was happening to him. How often do carbon monoxide deaths occur where the family is taken unaware?
Compare the sounds of the last 60 seconds recorded on the Germanwings cockpit recorder to the sounds expected from an A 320 cockpit. Note that only the last 60 second were released to the media. Bild, a German magazine, also released the full transcript of the audio, which matches reports to date and the 60 second audio released to the media. If the electronic operation of the door were involved at any time, the intercom phone ringing would be heard. If this resulted in the co-pilot unlocking the door, or trying to push the toggle to lock so it could not be unlocked, the sound of the toggle would be heard as well as the keypad buzzer in the cockpit. If the co-pilot was ignoring these requests, then repeated keypad buzzing and toggle to lock would be heard, yet none of this was reported in the media. If, per the narrative being pushed in the media, the co-pilot had thrown a bolt on the door, then this too would be heard on the tape, as the media is claiming that a chair scuff on the floor and the sound of a shutting door could be heard. And in any case, the keypad would be tried, at least at first. The last 60 seconds include only pounding on the door with voices in the background, an alarm a few seconds before impact, more voices in the background and at the very end yet another alarm or call. None of the sounds on the recording match the anticipated intercom or keypad sounds.
So what caused the crash? The African Roll may have only just started, but there are signs that the Mediterranean is pulling apart while the African Plate drops. This stretch does indeed affect the foothills of the Alps.
ZetaTalk Comment 3/28/2015: Recently passengers on a flight from Barcelona to Israel grew faint from methane gas brought into the plane as it traveled along the spreading Mediterranean rip. Barcelona was in the news again when an EasyJet was struck by lightning. We have predicted that the African Roll will pull Gibraltar apart by an additional 125 miles. The Mediterranean in the past was a swamp, but now is a sea, due to such actions in the past. When the edge of the Eurasian Plate loses support along the Mediterranean, what does this do to the rock in the area?
Rock being pulled apart does not just register distress at the rip point. Rock layers are attached, glued to other rock layers and to seams within the rock layers themselves for long distances. The Germanwings A320 was rising above the Alps, at the very foothills where in the past the rock had been jammed under the high Alps. The foothills of the Alps present a complicated situation, where rock layers below the Alps are subject to the long reach of the stretching of the Mediterranean, while the weight of the Alps prevents these pulled rock layers from being able to adjust. It is thus an aggravated stretch zone, and thus dangerous for air travel.
CERN also had magnetic problems, just two days before and in the days after the Germanwings airplane crashed. CERN uses magnets intensively, and thus would be subject to the electromagnetic pulse that disabled the Germanwings plane in the French Alps. CERN is located in Geneva, nearby, also on the Franco-Swiss border.

March 26, 2015
http://home.web.cern.ch/about/updates/2015/03/pictures-x-rays-probe-lhc-cause-short-circuit- Early last Saturday morning [March 21], while full-scale tests of all systems were ongoing in preparation for beam injection, an earth fault developed in the main dipole circuit of sector 3-4 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). All the protection systems worked properly and there was no harm done. The fault developed at relatively low current and was initially intermittent in nature.

March 25, 2015
http://in.mobile.reuters.com/article/idINKBN0MK2EY20150324?irpc=932- Engineers had been expected to start on Wednesday [March 25] pumping proton beams in opposite directions all the way round the two 27-km (17-mile) underground tubes in the LHC, closed down for the past two years for a refit. Scientists at Europe's CERN research centre have had to postpone the imminent relaunch of their refitted 'Big Bang' machine, the Large Hadron Collider, because of a short-circuit in the wiring of one of the vital magnets.
In the days following the crash of the Germanwings plane, on March 27, the Netherlands had an extensive blackout affecting Amsterdam and the entire region. And on March 31 Turkey had an extensive blackout affecting half the country. Per the Zetas, the European stretch is once again the cause. How will the establishment react? To date, they have presented a cover-up. AF 447 in 2009 was declared due to a pilot error and bad weather. This despite the fact that an automated technical report indicated that the electrical systems were shutting down, one by one. MH 370 was blamed on pilot suicide and bad weather too.
- What Happened to Flight 447?
June 1, 2009
http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/06/02/us-airline-crash- A succession of a dozen technical messages showed that several electrical systems had broken down, most ominously the pressurization system - a totally unprecedented situation in the plane. A succession of a dozen technical messages (showed that) several electrical systems had broken down.
- What Really Happened Aboard Air France 447
December 6, 2011
http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/aviation/crashes/- At 1h51m, the cockpit becomes illuminated by a strange electrical phenomenon. The two copilots discuss the unusually elevated external temperature, which has prevented them from climbing to their desired altitude. Suddenly, a strange aroma, like an electrical transformer, floods the cockpit, and the temperature suddenly increases. Just then an alarm sounds for 2.2 seconds, indicating that the autopilot is disconnecting. Note, however, that the plane has suffered no mechanical malfunction. The word "Stall!" will blare through the cockpit 75 times.
The Germanwings crash cannot blame the weather, which was perfect. Per the Zetas, the airline industries will not allow the truth to be told. Profits come first, and the lives of the common man are the least of their concerns.
ZetaTalk Comment 3/28/2015: The public will never learn the truth, as in all such cases electromagnetic interference is dismissed, the profits and jobs involved in the airline industry taking precedence of the truth. This will result in any case as the public gets leery of air travel, insurance costs rise, and airline companies go out of business.Source: ZetaTalk Newsletter Issue 445
Small Planes Crashing
During a 5 day period from June 8-13, 2016 the portion of the N American continent most affected by the bow stress was afflicted by numerous small plane crashes. The bowing of the N American continent pulls the Aleutian Islands toward the tip of Mexico, with the center of the bow near San Diego. Thus, in a swath across the center of the US, small planes were suddenly crashing, with no warning, with no communications from the cockpit in most cases, a clear sign they were afflicted by Electro-Magnetic-Pulse. This onslaught showed up on the Global Incident Map for aviation.
One of the most publicized incidents was the spinning crash of a small plane in Houston on June 9. The pilot reportedly made repeated attempts to land the plane, aborting each time due to his lack of control over the planet. It appears the pilot had also lost communications. Then in a final fatal spin, the plane crashed, killing all on board. The plane had flown from Oklahoma to Houston, crashing at its destination.
- Plane Spins, Drops from the Sky
June11, 2016
http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2016/06/11/plane-drops-from-the-sky- The NTSB is investigating the cause of a single-engine plane crash that killed three people in Houston.
- NTSB: Pilot Tried to Land 3 times before Houston Plane Crash
June 10, 2016
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ntsb-pilot-tried-to-land-for-3rd-time- The pilot of a plane that crashed near a Houston airport halted a third attempt to land just before it plummeted to the ground, killing all three inside. It's unclear whether the pilot made a distress call just before the crash that happened. The plane was in a flat spin before it plummeted to the ground nose-first.
Not a day later near Hawthorne, California, a small plan dove into an apartment complex. No distress signal had been relayed, no communications whatsoever. Unless the pilot had a heart attack, the clear answer is yet another incident of Electro-Magnetic-Pulse disabling the electronics on the plane.

The aircraft slammed into two townhouses in the complex. The aircraft, described as a Grumman American AA-1B, crashed two miles west of the airport under unknown circumstances.
Other incidents include a crash near Batesville, Indiana on June 8 which was blamed on an unexplained “mechanical problem”. Investigation ongoing. Another on June 10 crashed into May Lake near Bismark, N Dakota which is being blamed on the youth of the pilot. Investigation here also ongoing. Then on June 11 the pace picked up with a crash in Santa Rosa, California where the plane ended upside down in a field. The aircraft had reportedly been making “odd sounds” and the pilot, who survived, was having problems with the throttle. Another near Collegedale, Tennessee during a failed landing. Apparently, there were no communications and no survivors.

June 11, 2016
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/06/11/official-says-2-people-dead-in-plane-crash- A single-engine plane crashed around 12:50 p.m. at the Collegedale airport. The plane was coming into the Collegedale airport when it crashed. She said she did not if anyone else outside the plane was injured or if there was property damaged in the crash. Collegedale is a city about 20 miles east of Chattanooga.
What’s causing this increase in Electro-Magnetic-Pulse (EMP) on the N American continent? The N American continent is a flat top, unable to roll, and thus as the Atlantic expands and the Pacific shortens, Mexico pulled to the west, there is unrelieved diagonal stress on the N American continent. This is resolved when the New Madrid rips open, but until this occurs the rock is screaming. Compression in the rock squeezes air out of pockets in the rock, allowing electricity to rise unimpeded through the rock layers and arc to the charged tail of Nibiru. Booms are back with a fury in 2016, and dramatic blackouts occurred along the East Coast in 2015 as did a derailed Amtrak train in Philly.
ZetaTalk Prediction 2/10/2006: The giant plates of N America and Eurasia are locked against each other, unable to rotate against each other due to their shape. But the primary drama preceding the pole shift will be the ripping action that a plate unable to move must endure.
ZetaTalk Prediction 1/10/2015: We have consistently warned that electro-magnetic pulse, the arcing from the electronic screech in compressed rock to the charged tail of Planet X, will be on the increase. This brings down the grid, as surge and brownout destroy electronic infrastructure and electronic grids are designed to protect themselves thus. Blackouts, electronically damaged airplanes, and interference with mankind’s satellites will be on the increase.
ZetaTalk Prediction 5/28/2016: We have stressed that airplane travel will get increasingly risky, due to EMP which is already taking planes down in dramatic fashion.Source: ZetaTalk Newsletter Issue 508

Learjet Crashes Near Building on Landing Approach at Teterboro Airport Near New York City
https://fightersweep.com/7802/learjet-crashes-near-building-landing...
A small business jet crashed while trying to land at Teterboro Airport
killing both crew members on the aircraft. The Learjet 35 was carrying no other passengers when it went down approximately a quarter mile from the runway causing a fire. No one on the ground was reported injured.
The plane was registered in Billings, Montana, to a company called A&C Big Sky Aviation, which has a residential address. The owners of the residence are Daniel and Julane Wells. There was no answer at their residence Monday night.
Mayor Craig Lahullier said all town employees already had left for the day before the plane crashed next to its Department of Public Works building. “I tell ya, it’s a miracle,” he said. “Thank God the guys were out of there, that’s all I can say.” – AP
The cause of the accident is not known at this time but weather reports in the area had warned of strong winds gusting up to 45 miles per hour shortly before the aircraft crashed.

Turbulence injures multiple passengers on United Airlines flight, officials say
Emergency crews respond to a flight that left several passengers injured due to severe turbulence in Houston, Texas
Last Updated Jun 20, 2017 6:37 PM EDT
HOUSTON, Texas -- At least ten people experienced turbulence-related injuries during a United Airlines flight on Tuesday, CBS affiliate KHOU-TV in Houston reports.
The plane was traveling from Panama City, Panama to George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas when it experienced weather-related turbulence, United Airlines told CBS News.
In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that the flight hit severe turbulence. "United Flight 1031, a Boeing 737, reported encountering severe turbulence in Mexican airspace, about 80 miles east of Cancun. The aircraft landed safely at George Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport just after 2:30 p.m," the statement said.
United said in a statement to CBS News that nine customers and crew members were transferred to area hospitals for treatment. Paramedics met the aircraft on the runway for immediate treatment, United said.
The others were treated at on the scene for minor injuries, KHOU-TV reports.
Last year, 44 passengers and crew members suffered turbulence-related injuries that were sufficient enough to require reporting to the United States' Federal Aviation Administration. That figure marked a spike since the previous year, when 21 people were injured, but also a significant drop from 2009, when 107 crew members and passengers were injured during turbulence, the FAA reported.

EFLORE CO., MS (WMC) -
Sixteen people are dead following a Marine Corps airplane crash in Mississippi, according to authorities at the crash site.
First responders said the C-130 left Memphis on Monday.
The plane crashed in Leflore County just off Highway 82 on Monday afternoon.
The plane is believed to have exploded in mid-air. Investigators said they found debris on both sides of the highway, leading them to believe an explosion happened prior to the crash.
A Mississippi State Trooper said the plane is loaded with ammunition, causing emergency workers to have to keep their distance.
"There's a lot of ammo in the plane. That's why we are keeping so far back. We just don't know what it'll do. It burns a bit then goes out, burns a little more then dies down," the trooper told WMC Action News 5 crews.
The United States Marine Corps confirmed the aircraft was a Marine aircraft.

U.S. Navy plane with 11 aboard crashes into sea off Japan; 8 found alive
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u-s-navy-aircraft-crashes-sea-ok...
Eight people have been found alive and are in "good condition" after a U.S. Navy plane with 11 people aboard crashed into the sea off Japan on Wednesday (Nov 22), the military said.
A search-and-rescue mission for three other people continues, the Navy said.
"Our entire focus is on finding all of our sailors," Rear Adm. Marc H. Dalton said in a statement, adding that the Navy "will be relentless in our efforts."
The aircraft is believed to have crashed about 500 nautical miles southeast of Okinawa Island at about 2:45 p.m. (12:45 a.m. ET) while on the way to the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier.
Eight of the 11 Navy personnel were rescued 45 minutes later before being transferred to the ship for medical evaluation. The aircraft carrier, which is in the Philippine Sea, is part of the Japan-based 7th Fleet..."
"..The crash comes at a time when the Navy's 7th fleet and U.S. Pacific Command have come under increased scrutiny after 17 sailors died in two deadly collisions in Asian waters this year.
Seven U.S. sailors died when the USS Fitzgerald collided with a container ship off the coast of Japan in June. Two months later, in August, another navy destroyer, the USS John S. McCain, collided with an oil tanker near Singapore, killing 10 sailors.
In the wake of the accidents, eight top Navy officials were removed from their posts, including the 7th Fleet
commander. After the second collision, the Navy ordered the entire fleet to take a one-day "operational pause" to ensure that the ships were meeting safety standards.
The Navy said a family assistance center had been set up. Families living on base in Japan can call 315-243-1728, while families living in the United States can call +81-468-16-1728.

13 Die After Helicopter Surveying Earthquake Damage Crashes In Mexico
AMY HELD
Students sit in an open area after their school was evacuated in Veracruz, Mexico, on Friday, following a magnitude 7.2 earthquake. Later Friday 13 people died after a helicopter surveying the damage near the epicenter crashed.
Thirteen people died and 15 were injured Friday night after a military helicopter carrying government officials assessing earthquake damage crashed in southern Mexico, said the Oaxaca state prosecutor's office.
Five women, four men and three children died at the scene and another person died later at the hospital, according to the prosecutor's office said.
All of the victims had been on the ground, reports The Associated Press. Details of the casualties are still unclear.
The helicopter was carrying Interior Secretary Alfonso Navarrete and Oaxaca State Governor Alejandro Murat, who were both reportedly unharmed.
It was attempting to land in a vacant lot in the town of Santiago Jamiltepec when the pilot appeared to lose control, witnesses said.
Both Murat and Navarrete tweeted their sympathy early Saturday to the victims of the crash.
Around 5:30 p.m. local time, a 7.2 magnitude temblor hit south and central Mexico, apparently causing no death and little destruction, but rattling a region still jittery from a September quake that killed more than 200 people.
NPR's Carrie Kahn reported from the capital Mexico City that she felt Friday's earthquake "pretty strong."
"You could just feel the whole floor move from out from under you," she said. "And everybody was out in the streets in my neighborhood and looking up at this eight-story building that was right next to us, just swaying back and forth."

Wisconsin dairy owner, son-in-law among 3 dead in Indiana plane crash
ROSSVILLE, Ind. — A Wisconsin dairy owner and his son-in-law were among at least three people killed when a small plane crashed into a central Indiana farm field, the business said Friday.
Kewaunee, Wis.-based Pagel’s Ponderosa Dairy identified those who died as business owner John T. Pagel, his son-in-law, Steven Witcpalek, and pilot Nathan Saari.
No one survived the crash that happened about 7:30 p.m. Thursday just north of the small town of Rossville, about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis, according to Indiana State Police. It had taken off from the Eagle Creek Airport in Indianapolis and was headed to Green Bay, Wis.
Multiple people were on board the plane when it crashed into the muddy field, but state police spokesman Sgt. Kim Riley said investigators hadn’t confirmed by midday Friday how many people it was carrying.“The wreckage is spread over quite a big area,” Riley said.
A statement from the business said the Pagel family is grieving the loss. “We appreciate the outpouring of the communities’ thoughts and prayers,” the statement said.
State police identified the plane as a Cessna 441 Conquest Turboprop. Such twin-propeller planes can carry up to 10 people.
There was no severe weather in the area at the time of the crash and a possible cause wasn’t immediately known.
Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board arrived at the scene Friday, Riley said.

All 11 People On Board Dead After Turkish Private Plane Crashes in Iran, Authorities Say
(TEHRAN) — A Turkish private jet flying from the United Arab Emirates to Istanbul carrying a group of young women crashed Sunday night in a mountainous region of Iran during a heavy rain, killing all 11 people on board, authorities said. The doomed aircraft days earlier carried a bachelorette party bound for Dubai.
Iranian state television quoted Mojtaba Khaledi, the spokesman of the country’s emergency management organization, as saying the plane hit a mountain near Shahr-e Kord and burst into flames. Shahr-e Kord is some 370 kilometers (230 miles) south of the capital, Tehran.
Khaledi later told a website associated with state TV that local villagers had reached the site in the Zagros Mountains and found 11 badly burned bodies in the wreckage. He said DNA tests would be needed to identify the dead.
Villagers near the crash earlier said they saw flames coming from the plane’s engine before the crash, according to a report by Iran’s state-run judiciary news agency Mizan.
The plane took off around 4:41 p.m. (1311 GMT; 9:11 a.m. EST) Sunday and reached a cruising altitude of just over 35,000 feet, according to FlightRadar24, a flight-tracking website. At around 6:01 p.m. (1431 GMT; 10:31 a.m. EST), something appears to have gone wrong with the flight as it rapidly gained altitude and then dropped drastically within minutes, data published by the website showed.
Iranian officials said the plane took off from Sharjah International Airport on its way to Istanbul. A private company that handles public relations for the Sharjah airfield, the home of low-cost airline Air Arabia, declined to immediately comment. Sharjah is a neighboring emirate of Dubai.
Turkey’s private Dogan News Agency identified the plane as a Bombardier CL604, tail number TC-TRB. Turkey’s Transport Ministry said the plane belongs to a company named Basaran Holding, which The Associated Press could not immediately reach.
Basaran Investment Holding is active in the food, finance, energy, construction, tourism and travel industries, according to the company’s website.
Mina Basaran, the 28-year-old daughter of Basaran’s chairman who is part of the company’s board of managers and is in line to run the business, posted photographs on Instagram of what appeared to be her bachelorette party in Dubai. Among those photographs was an image of the crashed plane posted three days ago.
The last videos posted to her account showed her and friends enjoying a concert by the British pop star Rita Ora at a popular Dubai nightclub. There was no further activity on her account after that.
It wasn’t clear who was on the plane at the time of the crash, though Iranian emergency management officials described all the passengers as being young women, according to IRNA.
Sunday’s crash comes after an Iranian ATR-72, a twin-engine turboprop used for short-distance regional flying, crashed in southern Iran, killing all 65 people on board in February.

All 5 passengers killed as tour helicopter crashes in New York’s East River

Pilot escapes, but authorities say passengers strapped into seats died
A tourist helicopter plunged into New York City’s East River on Sunday night (March 11) , killing all five passengers after they were trapped inside the sinking vessel while the pilot scrambled to safety, police sources said.
The Eurocopter AS350 went down around 88th Street, near Gracie Mansion, at about 7:15 p.m., sources said.
The pilot was able to get out and climb aboard a raft — but five others remained trapped inside the upside-down helicopter because they were strapped into their seats, FDNY commissioner Daniel Nigro said during a Sunday night press conference.
“There was about a minute where we didn’t see anyone come out,” witness Brianna Jesme, 22, told The Post. “Then after a minute, we saw a man come out holding onto a raft screaming: ‘Help! help! Ah!’ and then inaudible screams.
“It was horrifying.”
Two people were pronounced dead on the scene — three others were hospitalized in critical condition. They later died at Bellevue, officials said.
https://twitter.com/JJmagers/status/972974463175286784
Witness Mary Lee, 66, told The Post that she saw the chopper go down from her apartment window and said she “immediately thought someone was in there and not going to live — it’s cold water, it was sinking really fast.
“By the time we got out here, we couldn’t see it. It was under water.”
Video posted to Twitter showed a red chopper splash down in the river and then quickly go belly-up as its rotors violently hacked at the water.
“Mayday . . . Mayday . . . Mayday . . . East River engine failure,” the pilot said over his radio during the distress call.
Within minutes, the helicopter disappeared beneath the waves, witness John Magers, 24, told The Post.
“It looked like it was completely submerged,” he said. “It couldn’t have been any longer than 5 minutes.”
The NYPD deployed two divers, and the pilot was taken to Bellevue Hospital, sources said.
Police sources said the chopper was operated by New Jersey-based Fly Liberty Charter and took off from Wall Street.
Fly Liberty could not immediately be reached for comment.
The FAA said it is investigating.

53 injured after Saudi airlines plane crash lands in Jeddah
Some 52 passengers suffered minor injuries and another was left with fractures after a Saudia airlines plane was forced to make an emergency landing at the King Abdulaziz International Airport in the coastal city of Jeddah.
Saudi’s Aviation Investigation Bureau (AIB) said a technical malfunction in the plane’s “hydraulic” system forced the pilot to make an emergency landing.
The Airbus A330-200, the AIB explained, had been leased by the airline.
Flight 3818 had taken off as scheduled from the Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport in Madinah heading to the Dhaka airport in Bangladesh, with 141 passengers onboard. The plane was forced to reroute when it experienced technical problems.
Videos circulated on social media showed the moment the plane touched down in Jeddah.
“The pilot made several attempts but failed to correct the malfunction with the front landing gear. Subsequently, the Airbus 330 made an emergency landing with the nose gear retracted,” Abdurahman Al Tayyib, a spokesman for Saudia airline quoted as saying by Al Madinah daily.
Firefighting and rescue teams were on alert at the airport to begin evacuating the passengers as soon as the plane landed.
An investigation has been launched to pinpoint the exact cause of the incident, the AIB added.
