Plane crashes in Suriname, 19 feared dead 03.04.2008// 15:00 GMT Suriname/ Benzdorp A plane crashed in a remote gold-mining area of Suriname on Thursday and all 19 people on board were killed. The plane was a twin-engine, 18-seater Antonov-28 run by local airline Blue Wing Airlines in the former Dutch colony that lies on the eastern shoulder of South America. There were 17 passengers and two crew on board and that it was unlikely any survived the crash in the sparsely populated south of the country in the area of Benzdorp. "There is nothing to rescue, everything has gone up in flames," a gold miner in the area told local radio station Radio Apintie in a telephone interview. Typically flights in the area ferry passengers working in the gold-mining industry. Among the passengers were six French citizens. The six-year-old airline is based in the capital Paramaribo and has 10 aircraft, according to a company profile on its Web site www.bluewingairlines.com. Concerns over the airline's safety standards had prompted restrictions on the carrier flying into neighboring French Guiana. But they were lifted last year. Suriname has a population of around 500,000 and its economy is based mainly on mining. (Reporting by Ank Kuipers; Writing by Saul Hudson; Editing by Brian Ellsworth and Xavier Briand) |

5 French Tourists Killed in Peru Crash
09.04.2008 - Five French tourists visiting Peru's Nazca lines were killed Wednesday when their small plane crashed after becoming tangled in power lines. The Aero Ica Cessna U206C Super Skywagon plane (reg. OB-1266) went down near a landing strip in Peru's southern desert and all five tourists aboard died. The Peruvian pilot survived. The crash appeared to be the result of 'human error.' The witnesses reported seeing the plane caught in high-tension cables before it crashed. Juan Carlos Pavic, head of the civil aeronautics office of the Transportation Ministry, said the pilot's license was valid and the plane's paperwork up-to-date. The Cessna aircraft crashed during a 30-minute flight over the Nazca lines. The lines, mysterious markings etched into the desert sands more than a millennium ago, are one of Peru's top tourist destinations. Tourists often take short flights on small airplanes for a better view of the lines. Lima-based Aero Ica runs 80 flights over the lines a day. The Nazca lines cover a 35-mile stretch of desert some 250 miles south of Lima and were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1994. |

Eleven killed in Mexico air crash 18.04.2008 Mexico/ Michoacan/ Uruapan Eleven Mexican soldiers have been killed in a helicopter crash during anti-drug operations in the western state of Michoacan. The Bell 212 helicopter went down around midday (1800 BST) near Uruapan. Eyewitnesses said they heard the engine cut out as it tried to land. Police have cordoned off the crash site and forensic officers are sifting through the wreckage. Michoacan is a major flashpoint in the government's war against drug cartels. "There are 11 men dead, including a colonel, and one soldier was injured," said a spokesman for the state attorney general's office. Drug-related violence has become a serious issue across Mexico and since taking office in December 2006, President Felipe Calderon has sent some 25,000 soldiers and federal police to key areas to tackle the drug traffickers. Michoacan's hills and avocado fields are said to hide methamphetamine, or "crystal meth" labs, and landing strips for planes moving cocaine to the United States. |
11 погибли при крушении военного вертолета в Мексике 18.04.2008 Мексико/ Мичоакан/ Уруапан 11 погибли в пятницу при крушении военного вертолета Bell 212 в Мексике. Один военнослужащ пострадал тяжело. Инцидент произошел в западном штате Мичоакан. Разбившийся вертолет участвовал в операции по борьбе с наркоторговлей. Неожиданно двитель вертолета переостановил работу и это довело до катастрофы.
