Plane Crashes on the rise

[Gerard Zwaan]

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

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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

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.

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-c...

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-s...

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. 

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

http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=102237&...

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.

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.

Electric Fault Delays Relaunch of CERN Collider after Two-Year Refit
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.

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

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.

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.

Official says 2 People Dead in Plane Crash in Tennessee
June 11, 2016
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/06/11/official-says-2-people-dead-in...

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.

Tour helicopter slams onto busy Kailua street, killing all 3 on board

April 29, 2019 at 9:27 AM HST - Updated April 29 at 5:02 PM

KAILUA (HawaiiNewsNow) - Three people were killed Monday when a tour helicopter spun out of control and crashed nose-first on a busy Kailua roadway, bursting into flames.

Hawaii News Now has learned the two passengers are visitors from the mainland.

The crash on Oneawa Street about 9 a.m. produced a shocking scene for drivers and nearby residents, who rushed to the site in the slim hope that someone on board had survived.

Bystanders aimed their garden hoses at the fire to try to put out the blaze, and pulled at least one of the victims from the burning craft.

“Neighbors were doing a heroic effort trying to put out the fire and also trying to get the patients away from the burning aircraft,” said Shayne Enright, spokeswoman for the city Emergency Services Department. She confirmed all three victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

Witness Tehani Alo said she saw the helicopter spinning out of control before it came crashing down.

“it sounded like hell landing”she said.

Another resident described the crash this way: “Horrible.”

The chopper ― a four-seat Robinson R44 aircraft ― was owned by tour company Novictor Helicopters. In a statement, the company said it’s working closely with the FAA and NTSB on the investigation.

“This accident is heartbreaking for everyone, especially the families and friends of the passengers and pilot, who was part of our Novictor family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of them,” the company said. “The safety and welfare of our personnel and passengers are our top priority.”

Witness Adrian Kozuki, who lives nearby, said he was in his backyard when the crash happened.

“I heard the helicopter in the air and all of a sudden I heard a pop, like a blast kind of thing,” he said. Then, within 15 seconds, he said he could see smoke coming out.

The crash sent debris onto nearby homes, properties and cars across at least eight separate properties.

At least one vehicle was significantly damaged when a fuel tank landed on its hood. One homeowner retrieved a cell phone from a rooftop. Another found a shoe in their backyard.

Mike Cunningham was driving when he saw the chopper crash about 20 feet in front of him.

He said the helicopter came down “very hard, nose first.”

“I saw the wires shaking, and right after that the wires broke and a helicopter came crashing through the trees,” Cunningham said, adding that as soon as it hit the ground, it was already on fire.

“I don’t see how anybody could’ve walked away from it,” Cunningham said. “It was in flames immediately. And you couldn’t get close to it.”

Lisa Dow lives about two blocks from where the chopper came down, and said she heard the helicopter in the air and then the sound of the crash.

She said the chopper “pretty much disintegrated” on impact.

“It’s horrible,” she said. “The blessing is that nobody on the ground got hit.”

Added witness Vanessa Solomon: “The saddest part was knowing that there were people falling out of the sky. It was hard to see that."

Police Lt. Wayne Wong said it’s remarkable that no one on the ground was injured when the helicopter came down. “Oneawa is a busy street, especially in the morning hours,” he said.

“People going to work. People going to school. It could have impacted a bigger part of the community.”

Melissa Solomon was driving down Oneawa Street with her daughter when the helicopter came down about 70 feet ahead of their car.

She says her instinct was to get her daughter away from danger and to call 911 as nearby residents rushed to the scene to see what happened ―and to try to help.

“I said, ‘oh my God, I don’t know what to do,’” she said.

The noise of the crash shook Ikona Kaapana’s house.

“When it was falling, it wasn’t on fire,” he said. “It was all black and there was no propellers and it was on it’s side when it was falling. We heard it land and it just went up in smoke."

Honolulu police have shut down all lanes of Oneawa Street near Kalolina Street as authorities investigate, and they anticipate the thoroughfare will remain shut down through Tuesday.

Novictor was involved in a separate helicopter crash in October.

In that incident, a Robinson R-44 crashed just off the Kaneohe sand bar after the pilot reportedly had a medical emergency and passed out. A couple visiting from Chicago was seriously injured in the crash.

The chopper crash is also the second this month.

Earlier in April, a helicopter went down near Sacred Falls after an apparent engine failure.

The Paradise Helicopters aircraft was contracted by the state Land Department, and crashed into trees before hitting the ground.

In that incident, all four people on board the helicopter refused transport to the hospital.

VIDEO: Watch a helicopter crash land on a busy Tampa road; man dies on ground

An engine failure led the helicopter to crash near 50th Street and Palm River Road. One of its rotor blades broke off and was hurled at a passing pickup, killing a passenger.

TAMPA — A helicopter attempting to make an emergency landing crashed onto a busy street on Thursday, sending one of its rotors flying into a passing vehicle, killing a passenger, authorities said.

The crash took place at about 2:21 p.m. near the intersection of S 50th Street and Palm River Road. The blue Robinson R44 helicopter suffered catastrophic engine failure, said Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister at a news conference held at the crash scene.

The helicopter was attempting to make a “hard landing,” the sheriff said, when it struck a telephone pole. That caused one of the rotor blades to break off, fly across the street and strike a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck that was traveling north on S 50th Street.he severed rotor killed a passenger, the father of the driver.

Alejandro Bou-Colon said he saw the helicopter fall from the sky. He works at Top Choice Automobile Sales at 506 S 50th St., which is right next to the crash site.

He said it looked like the helicopter was trying to land on a patch of grass. Instead, it came down fast, hit the ground and started skidding across the roadway before hitting a pole. He said debris went flying everywhere.

The Sheriff's Office did not release the names of those involved in the deadly crash.

The pickup driver was also injured and taken to Tampa General Hospital for treatment. The sheriff did not say how seriously injured he was.

The helicopter pilot was taken to a local hospital to be treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration and may also have injured in the crash.

The unidentified pilot was “highly trained,” the sheriff said. Chronister said the helicopter had just been serviced, passed several tests and was deemed to be functioning properly.

The sheriff said the helicopter was on its way to Sarasota when the pilot experienced engine failure.

When asked if the pilot handled the emergency landing the best possible way, Chronister said “depends who you ask.”

“I’m sure the passenger of that truck probably doesn’t feel that way right now ...,” the sheriff said, but noted it could have been worse: “We have one death when it could’ve been more.”

The National Transportation Safety Board will send investigators to the site to start examining the helicopter crash, Chronister said. The Florida Highway Patrol will investigate the death of the truck passenger.

“I'm not a flight investigator by any means,” the sheriff said, “but I can say thank God nobody else was injured.”

California authorities identify pilot in plane crash that left 5 dead

By Joe Sterling, Christina Maxouris, Deanna Hackney and Amir Vera, CNN

Updated 7:10 PM ET, Mon February 4, 2019

Firefighters work where a plane crashed into a home in Yorba Linda, California.

(CNN)Authorities identified the pilot of a twin-engine plane that broke up in the sky and slammed into a Southern California house on Sunday, killing the pilot and four people in the house.

Antonio Pastini, 75, of Gardnerville, Nevada, was identified Monday as the pilot, according to Lt. Cory Martino, Yorba Linda chief of police services. Pastini was a retired Chicago police officer, Martino said. Pastini was also a commercial pilot, National Transportation Safety Board officials said Monday.

The coroner is in the process of identifying the other four victims and notifying the next of kin, Martino said. The four dead include two males and two females.

"Unfortunately, the condition of the additional four deceased will require the use of additional measures, such as DNA, to obtain official identification," he said. "This type of identification can take time."

Martino added that "based on initial information received by the individuals who survived the incident, we believe the individuals were members of a family attending a gathering.

The plane's flaming wreckage injured three other people, damaged houses, and left debris over four blocks in the community of Yorba Linda, about 33 miles south of Los Angeles, authorities and affiliate reports said.

At a news conference Monday, NTSB lead investigator Maja Smith said Pastini left Fullerton Municipal Airport in a 1981 Cessna 414A around 1:35 p.m. Sunday. It was not clear what his destination was, Smith said. According to preliminary radar data, the plane made a left turn, climbing to 7,800 feet, and went 10 miles out before making a "rapid descent" into the neighborhood, said Eliott Simpson, an NTSB accident investigator. He said that, based on video he'd seen and the debris field, the plane appeared to have broken up in the air.

"A few witness reports say that they saw the airplane coming out of a cloud at a very high speed before parts of the airplane ... started to break off," Smith said Monday. "Parts of the airplane impacted a house that had four people. All of them perished in the fire."

Witnesses Smith spoke with said they saw a plane coming out of a cloud and it was still in one piece.

"And then they saw the tail breaking off, then wings breaking off and then subsequent smoke before the airplane impacted the ground," she said.

The debris flew across about four blocks in the area, covering about 15 to 16 homes, Smith said.

The Orange County Fire Authority said the "debris ignited a massive inferno at one home, quickly engulfing the two-story structure before spreading to a second home," KTLA reported. The station said video on social media captured images of "panicked residents rushing about the street."

One of the challenges for NTSB, Smith said, was collecting the debris because of how widespread it is.

"Our focus was getting all those parts collected," she said, adding that the wreckage will be taken to Phoenix for examination.

The plane's maintenance records have not been recovered yet, Smith said.

Smith said the NTSB will also look at Pastini's pilot history, medical records and flight experience. They'll also be looking at the structural integrity of the plane and where and why it broke up. The environmental impacts will also be examined.

The command post set up at Glenknoll Elementary School, which led to the school being closed on Monday, was relocated Monday afternoon. Martino said the school will reopen Tuesday.

 2 US warplanes crash off Japan; 2 found, 5 missing

(Posted: December 6) https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/2-us-warplanes-cr...

 TOKYO — A Marine refueling plane and a fighter jet crashed into the Pacific Ocean off Japan’s southwestern coast after colliding early Thursday (Nov 6), and rescuers found two of the seven crew members, one of them in stable condition, officials said.

The U.S. Marine Corps said that the 2 a.m. crash involved an F/A-18 fighter jet and a KC-130 refueling aircraft during regular refueling training after the planes took off from their base in Iwakuni, near Hiroshima in western Japan.

The crash took place 320 kilometers (200 miles) off the coast, according to the U.S. military. Japanese officials said it occurred closer to the coast, about 100 kilometers (60 miles), and that’s where the search and rescue mission found two crew members.

The two aircraft were carrying seven crew members in total, two in the F/A-18 and five others in the KC-130, when they collided and crashed into the sea south of the Muroto Cape on Shikoku island in southwestern Japan. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

The Maritime Self-Defense Force, which dispatched aircraft and vessels to join in the search operation, said Japanese rescuers found one of the crew from the fighter jet in stable condition. The Marines said that the rescued crew was taken to a hospital on the base in Iwakuni, but did not provide any other details.

Details of the second crew, including his or her condition, were unknown immediately.

The crash is the latest in recent series of accidents involving the U.S. military deployed to and near Japan.

Last month, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornet from the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan crashed into the sea southwest of Japan’s southern island of Okinawa, though its two pilots were rescued safely. In mid-October, a MH-60 Seahawk also belonging to the Ronald Reagan crashed off the Philippine Sea shortly after takeoff, causing non-fatal injuries to a dozen sailors.

More than 50,000 U.S. troops are based in Japan under the bilateral security pact.

On Thursday, Dec. 6, 2018, two American warplanes crashed into the Pacific Ocean off Japan’s southwestern coast after a midair collision, and rescuers found one of the seven crew members in stable condition while searching for the others, officials said.

1 week shy of last years T-38 Talon crash and death of pilot at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, we now have another death of a pilot and another injured following a crash of the T-38 Tuesday (Nov 13).

 Air Force T-38C Talon crashes on Texas base; one dead

A pilot died and another was injured Tuesday when an Air Force trainer aircraft crashed at Laughlin Air Force in Texas, Air Force officials said.

Authorities did not identify the pilots, pending notification to their families. The injured pilot was taken to the Val Verde Regional Medical Center with unknown injuries.

The T-38C Talon went down around 7:40 p.m. on the Del Rio military installation, located a few miles near the U.S.-Mexico border, an Air Force statement said.

Emergency responders were at the scene. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

 

"Additional details will be provided as information becomes available," Laughlin AFB officials said in a statement posted on Facebook.

The T-38 Talon, manufactured by Northrop Grumman, is a two-seat, twin-engine supersonic jet trainer, Patch Downtown Austin reported. More than 210 aircraft losses and ejections have been documented over the aircraft's lifetime since its debut in the 1950s, according to Wayback Machine, a website that documents plane crashes.

The crash comes two weeks after the Air Force removed three commanders at the Texas base over “dangerous and threatening behavior.”

Last year, a pilot instructor was killed when his T-38 crashed a few miles from the base, according to the Air Force Times.

Indonesia says survivors unlikely from Lion Air plane crash with 189 people on board

 https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-indonesia-lion-a...

 Relatives of passengers comfort each other as they wait for news on a Lion Air plane that crashed off Java Island at Depati Amir Airport in Pangkal Pinang, Indonesia Monday, Oct. 29, 2018. (AP)

 Lion Air plane crashed into the sea just minutes after taking off from Indonesia's capital on Monday, likely killing all 189 people on board, in a blow to the country's aviation safety record after the lifting of bans on its airlines by the European Union and U.S.

The search and rescue effort has recovered human remains, and based on their condition, one of its top officials said they're not expecting to find any survivors. More than 300 people including soldiers, police and fishermen are involved in the grim search, retrieving aircraft debris and personal items such as a crumpled cellphone, ID cards, bags and photos from the seas northeast of Jakarta.

 The accident involving a new plane has stunned Indonesia, and President Joko Widodo ordered the transport safety commission to investigate. He urged Indonesians to "keep on praying" as rescuers search for victims.

An air transport official, Novie Riyanto, said the flight was cleared to return to Jakarta after the pilot made a "return to base" request two to three minutes after taking off. It plunged into the sea about 10 minutes later. Weather conditions were normal but the aircraft had experienced a technical issue on its previous flight.

  Lion Air said the jet, on a 1 hour and 10 minute flight to Pangkal Pinang on an island chain off Sumatra, was carrying 181 passengers, including one child and two babies, and eight crew members.

It said there were two foreigners on board the plane: its pilot, originally from New Delhi, and an Italian citizen.

Distraught friends and relatives prayed and hugged each other as they waited at Pangkal Pinang's airport and at a crisis center set up at Jakarta's airport. Indonesian TV broadcast pictures of a fuel slick and a debris field in the ocean.

At the search agency's headquarters in Jakarta, family members arrived, hoping desperately for news.

Feni, who uses a single name, said her soon-to-be-married sister was on the flight, planning to meet relatives in Pangkal Pinang.

"We are here to find any information about my younger sister, her fiance, her in-law to be and a friend of them," said Feni.

"We don't have any information," she said, as her father wiped tears from reddened eyes. "No one provided us with any information that we need. We're confused. We hope that our family is still alive."

Indonesian Finance Minister Sri Mulyani also arrived at the agency and met with its chief, seeking information about 20 ministry staff who were on the flight after attending a ministry event in Jakarta. Photos circulating online showed the distraught minister trying to comfort stunned colleagues.

The search and rescue agency said the flight ended in waters off West Java that are 30 to 35 meters (100 to 115 feet) deep.

The agency's chief, Muhammad Syaugi, told a news conference that divers are trying to locate the wreckage.

Weather conditions for the flight were safe, according to the Indonesian meteorology agency. It said clouds associated with turbulence were not present and winds were weak.

The Boeing 737 Max 8 was delivered to Lion Air in mid-August and put in use within days, according to aviation website Flightradar24. It was leased from China Minsheng Investment Group Leasing Holdings Ltd., according to the official China News Service.

Malindo Air, a Malaysian subsidiary of Jakarta-based Lion Air, was the first airline to begin using the 737 Max 8 last year. The Max 8 replaced the similar 800 in the Chicago-based plane maker's product line.

Lion Air president-director Edward Sirait said the plane had a "technical problem" on its previous flight from Bali to Jakarta but it had been fully remedied. He didn't know specifics of the problem when asked in a TV interview. The pilot of Flight 610 had more than 6,000 flying hours while the co-pilot had more than 5,000 hours, according to the airline.

"Indeed there were reports about a technical problem, and the technical problem has been resolved in accordance with the procedures released by the plane manufacturer," he said. "I did not know exactly but let it be investigated by the authorities.".."

Lion Air: How could a brand new plane crash?

 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46014260

 Lion Air flight JT 610 has crashed into the sea, with nearly 190 people on board, shortly after taking off from the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.

A lot of attention has focused on the fact the plane, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, was brand new. This is the first major incident involving that kind of plane.

Details so far have been scant and the cause will not be confirmed until a full investigation has been carried out.

Plane crashes are often the result of a combination of factors - both technical and human - but could the fact that the plane was so new have played any part?.."
