Earth Changes and the Pole Shift
Plane Crashes on the rise
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?
- 50 Dead as Plane Crashes in Taiwan Following Emergency Landing Failure
July 23, 2014
http://www.theindianrepublic.com/featured/50-dead-plane-crashes-taiwan- The plane had taken off from Kaohsiung at 4.53 PM for Magong in Penghul, said Jean Shen, the head of the Civil Aeronautics Administration of Taiwan. The plane had lost contact with the tower at 7.06 PM after it had said that it would make a second attempt at landing. The visibility at the time the plane had approached had been 1,600 meters, which meet the standards that had been set for landing. The agency has also reported that two flights had landed before the GE222, one at 5.34 PM, while the other had been at 6.57 PM. However, it appears that the heavy rain had caused reduced visibility, and the plane had been forced to pull up in order to make a second attempt at landing.

July 25, 2014
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/25/taiwan-plane-crash- The investigation is expected to focus on a four-minute gap between the pilot's request for a second approach and the plane's crashing into village homes at 7:10 p.m., during which visibility dropped by half.
- Air Algerie Flight AH5017 Crashes in Niger Due to Bad Weather
July 24, 2014
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/breaking-air-algerie-flight-ah5017-crashes-niger- The disappeared Air Algerie flight AH5017 has crashed in Niger after flying through violent storms. The region was badly affected by violent storms and the plane was rerouted while it was flying over Mali. The flight was scheduled to land at its destination at about 05:10 local time.

July 25, 2014
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/25/air-algerie-plane-crash- The strong smell of aircraft fuel at the crash site and the fact that the debris was scattered over a relatively small area also suggested the cause of the crash was linked to weather, a technical problem or a cumulation of such factors.
- EasyJet Plane Carrying 156 Passengers Forced to make Emergency Landing - Jet was Struck by Lightning
July 25, 2014
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2705529/EasyJet- An easyJet plane was forced to make an emergency landing today after flying out of Britain - when it was struck by lightning. The Airbus A319-111, believed to be carrying 156 passengers, was forced to land at Spain's Reus Airport. We were just flying over Barcelona and this storm came out of nowhere. The flight, from Bristol Airport, was due to arrive at Barcelona International at 10.10am local time. Everyone is fine but a lot of the women were screaming and crying and the cabin crew were flung down the plane. One guy even saw the lightning go all the way around the plane.
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.

- 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

Two killed, 7 injured as Russian plane makes emergency landing
Two people were killed and seven injured when an Antonov An-24 passenger plane made an emergency landing on Thursday (June 27) at an airport in Russia's Buryatia region in Siberia, the area's emergency situations ministry said.
The plane carrying 48 people, including 5 crew members, overshot the runway after landing, hit a small building and caught fire, regional authorities said.
The aircraft took off from the regional capital of Ulan-Ude and flew to Nizhneangarsk, where it was forced to make an emergency landing when one of its engines failed, they said.
Video shot by a passenger from a plane window showed the aircraft coming into land on the runway before rolling into a field and then suddenly violently halting with passengers screaming onboard.
Regional authorities said a pilot and technician had been killed in the accident, but all the passengers had been safely evacuated before a fire destroyed the plane.
The flight was operated by Russian regional airline Angara, media reported. (Reporting by Maria Kiselyova and Tom Balmforth; Editing by Toby Chopra)

10 dead after small plane crashes into Addison Airport hangar
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/addison/2019/06/30/crews-battle-bla...
Updated at 9:55 p.m.: Revised to include information about who was on board the plane.
All 10 people aboard a small plane died Sunday morning (June 30) when it crashed into a hangar on takeoff at Addison Airport, authorities say.
Two crew members and eight passengers were on board the twin-engine Beechcraft Super King Air 350 that was destroyed by flames after it crashed at 9:11 a.m., said Bruce Landsberg, vice chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. "We don't know a lot about the people on board," he said.
The flight had been headed to St. Petersburg, Fla. A Falcon jet and a helicopter that were inside the hangar were damaged, Landsberg said.
Addison spokeswoman Mary Rosenbleeth confirmed there were no survivors on the plane. The hangar was not occupied at the time of the crash.
The names of the people who died were not released while officials worked to notify their families, she said.
Addison fire spokesman Edward Martelle said the plane had just lifted off the runway when it veered left, dropped its left wing and went into the hangar.
The fire department had extinguished the fire and all hot spots at the hangar by 2 p.m.
The NTSB is leading the investigation into the crash. Officials offered no details about the cause and did not confirm whether engine failure to blame.
Jennifer Rodi, the NTSB's lead investigator in the crash, said her team has walked through the scene several times to observe the wreckage.."

An Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed Thursday morning at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana, killing one soldier and injuring three others aboard the aircraft.
The three injured soldiers are in stable condition, Kim Reischling, a Fort Polk spokeswoman, told Army Times.
The Black Hawk was flying out to recover a soldier with a heat-related injury on the training ranges at the time of the mishap. The aircraft was part of the 1-5 Aviation Battalion, which is a Fort Polk-based unit.
“One of their biggest missions on Fort Polk is to fly medevac and they were on their way to pick up a routine injury out in the training area,” Reischling said. “There are accidents out there, minor ones, soldiers get overheated, soldiers sprain their hands, stuff like that.”
The cause of the mishap is unknown at this time, she added.

Oct 30, 2019, 4:07 PM ETA small plane crash in DeKalb County, Georgia, left both passengers dead after the aircraft flew into townhouses on Wednesday, officials said.
DeKalb County Fire Capt. Dion Bentley initially confirmed that one passenger aboard the Piper PA-28 was dead, but the other person had been unaccounted for until Wednesday afternoon.
There were no confirmed injuries at the townhouses, the fire captain said. Nobody was in the townhome at the time of the crash.
The crash happened not long after the plane took off from DeKalb-Peachtree Airport around 10:30 a.m., according to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The plane barreled into a crawl space of the five-unit Clairmont Hills Townhouses, and a good chunk of the aircraft still remains inside the building, leaving crews currently unable to access the wreckage, Bentley said.
The whole building has been condemned until further notice because of structural instability and excess fuel, Bentley added.
The family of the deceased have been notified.

Chilean air force says missing plane with 38 onboard has crashed
Rescue team searching for survivors of C-130 Hercules flight bound for Antarctica
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/10/chile-plane-with-38-o...
The Chilean air force has said one of its cargo planes that went missing for more than 12 hours with 38 people onboard has crashed and a rescue team is searching for survivors.
The C-130 Hercules took off at 4.55pm (1955 GMT) on Monday (Dec 9) from Punta Arenas in the south and was heading to a base in Antarctica, but operators lost contact with the plane just over an hour later.
The air force said it had yet to locate the plane or determine whether there were any survivors, but had concluded the Hercules must have crashed given how long it had been missing.
The plane had been carrying 17 crew and 21 passengers, the air force said, adding that a rescue team was scouring the area “where it lost communication with the plane, with the goal of rescuing possible survivors”.
The region in which the aircraft disappeared is a vast ocean wilderness of ice sheets off the edge of South America.
The plane had been travelling to perform logistical support tasks for the maintenance of Chilean facilities in the Antarctic, the air force said.

A Russian Airbus A321-200 has had its airframe bent and floor ruptured by its landing gear after a particularly hard landing at the Turkish resort city of Antalya. 01-10-2020
The bizarre incident with the aircraft operated by Russian carrier Nowdwind occurred on Friday afternoon. The pilots requested an emergency landing over smoke that began to appear in the cabin, according to media reports.
The landing turned out to be rough as the plane apparently hit the tarmac with its front way too hard. Photos from the scene show its airframe badly bent around the front landing gear — which penetrated the plane’s structure, entering the cabin a little. Both of the gear’s tires have been ruptured during the landing, yet the strut itself was able to survive the hit and remained standing.

3 Americans killed when their water tanker plane crashes while battling wildfires in Australia
https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-australia-wildfir...
Three American crew members were killed Thursday (Jan 23) when a C-130 Hercules aerial water tanker crashed while battling wildfires in southeastern Australia, officials said.
New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian confirmed the crash deaths in the state's Snowy Monaro region, which came as Australia grapples with an unprecedented fire season that has left a large swath of destruction.
Coulson Aviation in the U.S. state of Oregon said in a statement that one of its Lockheed large air tankers was lost after it left Richmond in New South Wales with retardant for a firebombing mission. It said the accident was “extensive" but had few other details.
“The only thing I have from the field reports are that the plane came down, it's crashed and there was a large fireball associated with that crash,” said Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne said she had conveyed Australia's condolences to U.S. Ambassador Arthur Culvahouse Jr.
“Our hearts go out to their loved ones. They were helping Australia, far from their own homes, an embodiment of the deep friendship between our two countries,” she said in a statement.
“Thank you to these three, and to all the brave firefighters from Australia and around the world. Your service and contribution are extraordinary. We are ever grateful,” she added.

The tragedy brings the death toll from the blazes to at least 31 since September. The fires have also destroyed more than 2,600 homes and razed more than 25.7 million acres, an area bigger than the U.S. state of Indiana.
Coulson grounded other firefighting aircraft as a precaution pending investigation, reducing planes available to firefighters in New South Wales and neighboring Victoria state. The four-propeller Hercules drops more than 4,000 gallons of fire retardant in a single pass.
Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the national air crash investigator, and state police will investigate the crash site, which firefighters described as an active fire ground.
“There is no indication at this stage of what's caused the accident,” Fitzsimmons said.
Berejiklian said there were more than 1,700 volunteers and personnel in the field, and five fires were being described at an “emergency warning" level — the most dangerous on a three-tier scale — across the state and on the fringes of the national capital Canberra.
Also Thursday, Canberra Airport closed temporarily because of nearby wildfires, and residents south of the city were told to seek shelter. The airport reopened after several hours with Qantas operating limited services, but Virgin and Singapore Airlines canceled flights for the rest of the day.
The blaze started Wednesday but strong winds and high temperatures caused conditions in Canberra to deteriorate. A second fire near the airport that started on Thursday morning is at a “watch and act” level — the middle of the three tiers.
Residents in some Canberra suburbs were advised to seek shelter and others to leave immediately.
"The defense force is both assisting to a degree and looking to whether that needs to be reinforced," Chief of Defense Angus Campbell told reporters.
“I have people who are both involved as persons who need to be moved from areas and office buildings that are potentially in danger, and also those persons who are part of the (Operation) Bushfire Assist effort,” he said.

LAKE CITY, Fla. – A woman died Saturday morning when the plane she was flying crashed into the front yard of a home off Sisters Welcome Road, just east of Interstate 75 near Lake City, according to investigators.
The Piper PA-32 caught fire, which spread to the home, but there were no casualties on the ground.
The Sheriff’s Office, which received dozens of 911 calls about the crash that happened just before 10 a.m., asked people to avoid the area around SW Creekside Lane.
“I ran out the back door and saw the flames coming up from over the fence in the backyard. I ran over and saw the plane on fire, and it was a ball of fire,” Kosciow said.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash. The pilot was the only person on board.
The crash happened less than a half-mile north of the Cannon Creek Airpark, a neighborhood with a landing strip for pilots living in or visiting the community, which is where the NTSB said the plane had taken off from. It’s believed the pilot was heading to Texas, where she lived.
The pilot was taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Jacksonville. She was not immediately identified.

8 Killed After Philippine Plane Bursts Into Flames
All on board, including a doctor, a nurse and foreign nationals, were killed after the plane, used in the country’s coronavirus response, caught fire as it took off in Manila for Japan.
March 29, 2020 Updated 12:10 p.m. ET
MANILA — A plane used as an air ambulance by the Philippine health department to fight the coronavirus outbreak burst into flames as it took off from Manila’s airport for Japan on Sunday night, killing all onboard, the airport said.
The light aircraft was carrying eight people, including the pilot and two crew members, a doctor, a nurse, a flight medic and an American and a Canadian passenger, according to local radio reports, citing airport officials.
It was not clear whether the passengers were being airlifted for treatment of the viral disease.
“Unfortunately, no passenger survived the accident,” the Manila International Airport Authority said in a statement, adding that the runway had been closed and an investigation was underway.
The Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, the Philippine agency at the forefront of combating the disease, uses the same aircraft from a Philippine charter flight company called Lionair to transport supplies to the medical workers on the front line in the provinces across the archipelago, the government said.
Lionair is separate from Lion Air, the Indonesian carrier that is one of the world’s fastest-growing airlines. The budget carrier has racked up several major accidents, including the fatal crash in 2018 of a 737 jetliner.
Senator Richard Gordon, the head of the Philippine Red Cross, said that medical teams had been dispatched to the airport to respond to the crash involving Flight 5880.
“Eight passengers — consisting of a flight medic, a nurse, doctor, three flight crew, one patient and its companion were onboard,” he said. “The airplane caught fire and exploded as it was taking off the NAIA runway 24, he added, referring to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. “The fire was enormous.”
Lionair Inc., a Philippine-based firm, flies charter flights and has contracts with the government. It operates air ambulances too and is helping the government in its anti-coronavirus program, transporting medical supplies.
In September a light aircraft also operated by the charter company crashed in Laguan, a suburban province just south of Manila, killing nine people aboard.

The jet was from the 43rd Fighter Squadron, part of the 325th Fighter Wing that is now based at Eglin. The range where it crashed is about 12 miles northeast of Eglin’s main base.
The pilot was flying a routine training flight with the 33rd Fighter Wing when it crashed at 9:15 a.m., Eglin said in the release. First responders from the 96th Test Wing arrived at the scene, and an investigation is under way.
Eglin said there was no one else on board, and there was no loss of life or damage to civilian property.
This F-22 was not part of a formation flight that also took off from Eglin Friday morning, the base said. That formation flight included another F-22, an F-35 and a T-38, and flew over Dade County and Panama City.
The 325th is normally located at Tyndall, but moved some of its F-22 operations to Eglin after Hurricane Michael in 2018.

Canadian aerobatic jet crashes amid pandemic show; 1 dead

KAMLOOPS, British Columbia (AP) — A Canadian aerobatic jet crashed into a British Columbia neighborhood during a flyover intended to boost morale during the pandemic, killing one crew member, seriously injuring another and setting a house on fire. Video appeared to show the plane's crew ejecting.

The crash left debris scattered across the neighborhood near the airport in the city of Kamloops, 260 miles (418 kilometers) northeast of Vancouver, on Sunday. The Snowbirds are Canada’s equivalent of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds or U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was “deeply saddened” by the death of Capt. Jennifer Casey, who served as a spokesperson for the Snowbirds, and the injuring of Capt. Richard MacDougall, one of the team’s coordinators and pilot of the aircraft who survived landing on the roof of a house.
For the past two weeks, the Snowbirds have been flying across the country to lift up Canadians during these difficult times." Trudeau said in a statement. "Their flyovers across the country put a smile on the faces of Canadians everywhere and make us proud.”
The morale boosting mission is now on indefinite hold and the fleet of Tutor jets has been placed on operational pause.
Video posted to Twitter appears to show two Snowbirds taking off from Kamloops Airport. One of the aircraft subsequently climbed into the sky before rolling over and plunging to the ground. The video appears to show at least one person ejecting from the plane before it disappears behind a stand of trees and an explosion is heard.
A local resident who lives seven houses from the crash site and had been watching the aircraft said he saw “the Snowbird going straight down.”
“I saw what looked like a parachute about, say, 20 feet over the house, and it disappeared from sight, and the parachute hadn’t fully deployed yet — it was still sort of straight up and down,” Kenny Hinds said.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the cause of the crash is under investigation.
Rose Miller lives directly across the street from where the plane hit. She’d watched the Snowbirds arrive on Saturday, and she went to her front window on Sunday when she heard the roar of jet engines.
Miller said she heard a loud bang and wondered whether it might be a sonic boom. Then she watched the plane smash onto the ground.
“It looked to me like it was mostly on the road, but it just exploded. It went everywhere,” she said. “In fact, I got a big, huge piece in my backyard. The cops said it was the ejection seat.”
Miller said a couple in their early 70s lives in the home. Both are OK, she said, noting that she’d spoken with them after they were evacuated to a nearby street. The woman had been in the basement while the man was behind the house.
Miller said section of roof on a home on a nearby street has been covered up.
“This accident really shakes us to our core,” Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said. About five houses had to be evacuated.
Operation Inspiration started in Nova Scotia earlier this month and features the team’s signature nine-jet formation. It was aimed at boosting morale amid the pandemic.
Marni Capostinsky said she lives across the street from the crash site and was out on the deck when she heard the plane getting closer.
“We ran out under the cover to look and saw something black coming towards us, everyone hit the deck it was so loud,” she said.
Hinds said it looked like the living room of the house where the crash occurred was on fire.
“I just started running down the street. And I got there maybe a minute after it crashed and there was a couple of residents that had their hoses out and they were trying to put the flames out because it hit a house,” he said.
It’s been a difficult few weeks for Nova Scotia and the Canadian military as a navy helicopter went down over the Mediterranean last month, killing six people — three of whom were from Nova Scotia. Casey’s roots were in Nova Scotia — a province that saw a gunman kill 22 people in rampage amid the pandemic last month.
Sunday’s crash follows the downing of another Snowbird in the U.S. state of Georgia last October, where the team was scheduled to perform in an air show. Capt. Kevin Domon-Grenier sustained minor injuries when he ejected from the plane, which crashed into a farmer’s field. No one else was hurt.
The Snowbirds have performed at airshows across Canada and the U.S. for decades and are considered a key tool for raising awareness about — and recruiting for — the air force. Eleven aircraft are used during shows, with nine flying and two kept as spares.
The air force obtained its Tutor jets in 1963 and has used them in air demonstrations since 1971. Prior to Sunday’s crash, seven pilots and one passenger had been killed and several aircraft had been lost over the course of the Snowbirds’ history.

Pakistani passenger plane crashes near Karachi, with 107 on board
https://www.inquirer.com/news/nation-world/plane-crash-karachi-paki...
KARACHI, Pakistan — A passenger plane carrying 107 passengers and crew belonging to state-run Pakistan International Airlines crashed near the southern port city of Karachi on Friday, a civil aviation official said.
There were no immediate reports on the number of casualties. The aircraft arriving from the eastern city of Lahore was carrying 99 passengers and eight crew members, said Abdul Sattar Kokhar, spokesman for the country's civil aviation authority.
Witnesses said the Airbus A320 appeared to attempt to land two or three times before crashing in a residential area near Jinnah International Airport. The residential area on the edge of the airport known as Model Colony is a poor area and heavily congested.
A resident of the area, Abdul Rahman, said he saw the aircraft circle at least three times, appearing to try to land before it crashed into several houses.
Police and military cordoned off the area.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan tweeted: “Shocked & saddened by the PIA crash. . . Immediate inquiry will be instituted. Prayers & condolences go to families of the deceased."
Local television reports showed smoke coming from the direction of the airport and video emerging of the aircraft flying low over a residential area seemed showed apparent flames shooting from one of the engines. Ambulances were on their way to the airport and there were reports of some injuries, possibly residents on the ground.
Airbus did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the crash. The flight typically takes an hour and a half from the northeastern city of Lahore, the capital of Pakistan's most populous province, Punjab, to Karachi.
Airworthiness documents showed the plane last received a government check on Nov. 1, 2019. PIA’s chief engineer signed a separate certificate April 28 saying all maintenance had been conducted on the plane and that “the aircraft is fully airworthy and meets all the safety” standards.
Ownership records for the Airbus A320 involved in the crash showed China Eastern Airlines flew the plane from 2004 until 2014. The plane then entered PIA’s fleet, leased from GE Capital Aviation Services.

US Air Force C-130 crash lands in Iraq 6/8/2020
A U.S. Air Force C-130 crashed off the runway at Camp Taji Airbase in Iraq on Monday, injuring four service members.
Operation Inherent Resolve Spokesman Col. Myles B. Caggins told Fox News Channel’s Jennifer Griffin that the plane “overshot the runway and crashed.”
“On June 8, approximately 10:10 p.m. (Iraq time), a U.S. Air Force C-130 landing at Camp Taji Airbase, Iraq overshot the runway and crashed into a wall resulting in structural damage to the plane and a small fire,” Caggins told Griffin.
“The airfield fire and rescue team were on the scene within 4 minutes, extinguished the fire, and assisted an evacuation of the plane. Four Service Members on the plane sustained non-life-threatening injuries and are being treated at Camp Taji’s medical facility,” Caggins added.
An Iraqi official told the Associated Press that seven crew members and 26 passengers were on board the C-130, and two pilots were among the four service members injured.
The incident is under investigation and not suspected to be caused by enemy actions.
“Enemy activity is not suspected; the incident remains under investigation. The quick actions of the airfield crash, fire and rescue team helped patients, and limited damage to equipment and infrastructure,” Caggins concluded.
The C-130 Hercules is a military transport aircraft used by U.S. and coalition forces.

Coeur d'Alene Lake plane crash: Eight people are believed to be dead after two planes collided over Idaho's Coeur d'Alene Lake
Eight people are believed to be dead after two planes collided over Coeur d'Alene Lake in Idaho and then sank, Kootenai County Sheriff's Office Lt. Ryan Higgins said.
A call came in for two planes that had collided over the lake around 2:20 p.m., Higgins told CNN Sunday.
Two victims, both deceased, were recovered from the air crafts before they sank, Higgins said.
The remaining six victims are still unaccounted for but are believed to be dead, Higgins said. They include adults and children but no further details were available.
Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the collision or how many victims were on each plane, Higgins told CNN.
The planes were located by a sonar team in 127 feet of water, Higgins said, and will not be recovered until either Monday or Tuesday.
One aircraft involved in the collision was a Cessna 206, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor told CNN.
Investigators do not yet know the make and model of the other aircraft involved.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the collision, Gregor said.
There were several witnesses who either saw or heard the collision or were witness to the aftermath, Higgins said, as many people were boating on the lake during the holiday weekend.

Two Navy Members Die When Plane Crashes Into Residential Neighborhood: A 'Tremendous Loss'
Navy instructor pilot Lt. Rhiannon Ross and Coast Guard Ensign Morgan Garrett died when their plane went down shortly after takeoff on Friday (Oct 23)
A Navy instructor pilot and her student were killed when their plane went down during a training flight over Alabama on Friday, officials confirmed.
Lt. Rhiannon Ross, 30, and Coast Guard Ensign Morgan Garrett, 24, were in a two-person U.S. Navy T-6B Texan II trainer aircraft when it crashed in a residential neighborhood in Alabama on Friday afternoon, according to the Navy. Ross, a Michigan native, and Garrett, of North Carolina, were the only fatalities. No civilians were injured.
The duo had taken off from Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida, for what was supposed to be a routine training flight. The Navy is now working with local authorities to investigate the cause of the accident.
"Their spirit, friendship, and devotion to their country will not be...," the Navy said in a press release sent to PEOPLE.
As noted by the Navy Times,
pictures from the crash scene in Foley, Alabama, showed the plane's debris outside of a home with at least two damaged vehicles nearby.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Cmdr. Wes Barnes of the VT-2 Doerbirds wrote a tribute in honor of both Ross and Garrett.
"It is with a heavy heart that I share the loss of two of our squadron members Friday evening: LT Rhiannon Ross and ENS Morgan Garrett," Barnes wrote. "During a training mission, their T-6B crashed into a residential area near Foley, AL. We are thankful no one on the ground was injured, but sadly neither crew member survived."
"Our sincerest condolences and prayers go out to the family members who have suffered this tremendous loss. I cannot express the devastation we all feel at this time," Barnes said. "I'd like to personally thank all of the support we have received from family, friends and colleagues from all over."
"I encourage everyone to take care of each other and the families directly affected by this tragedy as we navigate through the healing process," he added.
Garrett left a collection of pointers for her peers just before her graduation from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in April 2019. Her advice was posted to the group's Facebook page.
"Being honest, having strong morals, and knowing right from wrong," Garrett wrote of the importance of integrity. "Always choose to do the right thing even when no one is around to see you do it. And have the reward for doing the right thing be the pride you feel for choosing right over wrong."
"Always seek out the next thing you can be doing to improve yourself, the people around you, and your unit as a whole," she continued, "because there is nothing good growing in stagnant water."

5 Americans among 7 peacekeepers killed in Sinai helicopter crash
The observer mission in the Sinai says all indications point to an accident.
Five Americans were among seven international peacekeepers killed when their helicopter crashed in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
The international observer mission in the Sinai Peninsula said all indications are that the crash, which also left one American peacekeeper injured, "appears to be mechanical in nature".
"This included one Czech, one French, and five U.S. MFO members, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these soldiers at this difficult time," the statement continued. "We wish the one U.S. MFO Member who survived the crash a speedy recovery."
The MFO had issued earlier statements with conflicting casualty numbers, reflecting the confusion around the incident. At one point the MFO said eight people died before revising the count.
The Israeli Defense Forces later confirmed that the American, who had injuries that were not life threatening, had been flown by a search-and-rescue team to an Israeli hospital for medical treatment.
"The Defense Department is deeply saddened by the loss of five U.S. and two partner nation service members in a helicopter crash in the Sinai Peninsula operating with the United Nations Multinational Force and Observers," acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller said in a statement.
There are 452 U.S. military personnel among the force of 1,154 international peacekeepers that is part of the legacy mission in the Sinai Peninsula to enforce the 1978 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. The treaty called for an enduring observer mission to ensure Israel's return of the peninsula to Egypt.
The Pentagon recently assessed whether to keep participating in the mission, but ultimately decided it was required under the treaty.
Active duty military personnel were assigned to the mission for decades, but in recent years it has been carried out by National Guardsmen.

Indonesian plane missing with 62 aboard after losing radar contact
A radar image from Flightradar24.com shows the flight path of Indonesian Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 before it lost contact on Jan. 9, 2021. (AP)
Indonesian authorities mobilized search teams Saturday after a passenger jet carrying 62 people lost contact with air traffic controllers on a domestic flight, Indonesia’s transportation ministry said.
The Boeing 737-500 flown by Sriwijaya Air went off radar screens shortly after leaving the capital, Jakarta, on a 90-minute flight to Pontianakon on Indonesia’s Borneo island, said Adita Irawati, a spokesperson for Indonesia’s Transportation Ministry, the Associated Press reported.
Fifty-six passengers and six crew members were on board.
Flightradar24, which monitors air traffic, wrote on its Twitter account that the 27-year-old plane “lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude in less than one minute, about 4 minutes after departure from Jakarta.”
As search and rescue efforts expanded, fisherman in the Thousand Islands, a chain of islands north of Jakarta, told local media they had spotted metal objects appearing to be parts of a plane.
I
ndonesian media also aired footage of distraught friends and families of passengers gathered at the Jakarta and Pontianakon airports, weeping and praying.
A Boeing statement said that it was “aware of media reports from Jakarta, and are closely monitoring the situation. We are working to gather more information.”
Sriwijaya Air told Reuters news agency they were also still gathering information.
In late 2018, a Boeing 737 Max flown by Indonesian airline Lion Air went down, killing all 189 passengers and crew.
The 737 Max was grounded worldwide after a crash five months later in Ethiopia blamed on a design flaw in the flight control system. Investigators later determined that a software flaw and other problems had been overlooked or minimized by company engineers.
In 2014, an AirAsia plane crashed into the sea, killing 162 people, on a flight from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore.

Four Killed In Kazakhstan Military Plane Crash
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) 5 days ago Sat 13th March 2021 | 09:23 PM
Four people died and two more were badly injured on Saturday when a military plane crashed and caught fire while trying to land in Kazakhstan's largest city Almaty, the latest accident to hit the country's aviation industryAlmaty, Kazakhstan, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Mar, 2021 ) :Four people died and two more were badly injured on Saturday when a military plane crashed and caught fire while trying to land in Kazakhstan's largest city Almaty, the latest accident to hit the country's aviation industry.
City authorities said the survivors were in intensive care and their condition was "extremely" serious.
The An-26 craft was travelling to Almaty from the capital Nur-Sultan, the emergencies ministry said, noting that the airport had lost contact with the aircraft at 1722 local time (1122 GMT).
"According to preliminary data, four people died, and two injured were sent to the nearest hospital," the ministry said in a statement.
The plane, which belonged to Kazakhstan's national security committee, caught fire after it crashed at Almaty Airport.
An AFP correspondent saw the plane overturned, with the cockpit separated from the main body of the aircraft and the tail upside down from a fence around 300 metres (1,000 feet) away.
There were rows of fire engines, police vehicles and ambulances at the crash site.
Videos shot from a road near the airport by eyewitnesses earlier in the day and published by local media showed thick smoke billowing in the distance after the crash.
Almaty Airport said in a statement that "the plane crashed at the end of the runway" without offering an explanation for the accident.
- President sends condolences - Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and wished a swift recovery to the two survivors.
"On my orders, work has begun to clarify the causes of the plane crash," Tokayev said on Twitter.
"Such incidents should not be repeated." In December 2019, a dozen of around a hundred passengers died following a crash landing near Almaty Airport, with most passengers surviving unscathed.
The Bek Air carrier that operated the aircraft has not flown since and had its licence revoked last year.
The crash was also the latest in a string of air disasters involving An-26 planes.
In September 2020, an An-26 crashed in Ukraine, killing 26, mostly students from Kharkiv National Air Force University, and leaving only one survivor.
A month before that crash, four South Sudanese passengers and three Russian crew members died when an An-26 belonging to a local operator crashed near South Sudan's capital Juba, with one person surviving the accident.

Former Minnesota business owner killed in Florida plane crash
GLENWOOD, Minn. — A former Glenwood, Minn., business owner has been identified as one of the three people killed Monday, March 15, in a fiery plane crash in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
Grant Hustad Jr., 71, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Yaacov Nahom, 63, of Davie, Florida, were identified by the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office as the two occupants in the single-engine plane that were killed when it crashed short of the runway for the North Perry Airport.
The single-engine Beechcraft plane crashed into an SUV and killed a 4-year-old boy identified as Taylor Bishop. According to the Miami Herald, the victim’s mother, Megan Bishop, was driving the SUV and was injured.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. According to news accounts, the NTSB has not released which of the two occupants in the plane was its pilot. Both men were certified pilots.
Hustad had a commercial pilot certificate for flying single-engine airplanes over land and sea, and landing multi-engine airplanes on land, according to FAA records, the Miami Herald reported.
Nahom has had a private pilot’s certificate since 2017 and is rated to land single-engine aircraft on land and multi-engine airplanes on land, according to the same report.
The aircraft was registered to Florida Eagle Aviation Inc. Nahom was president of the company.
Hustad previously lived in Glenwood and operated a farm implement business there that was started by his father, Grant Hustad Sr.
He was an “extremely, careful pilot,” said John Stone, former publisher of the Pope County Tribune. Stone flew with Hustad on a few occasions while Hustad operated his business in Glenwood.
Hustad was a longtime pilot and promoter for the Glenwood Airport, added Stone. Hustad moved to Florida 10 or more years ago, according to Stone.
Hustad is also known in Glenwood for the Trophy Lake residential project in the community.
