| Jet explodes as 165 flee 20.08.2007//01:35 GMT Japan/NAHA With flames licking the belly of the fuselage and smoke billowing all around, the 165 persons aboard China Airlines Flight CI-120 scrambled down emergency chutes and even out the windows of the cockpit. As they sprinted across the tarmac at Okinawa Airport, the Boeing 737-800 (B-18616) jetliner exploded yesterday in a ball of fire. Despite the chaos and terror, all survived. Taiwan grounded its fleet of Boeing 737-800s after the inferno aboard the China Airlines plane as it sat outside the terminal on the resort island, and officials said a fuel leak may be to blame. Passengers described a normal landing in Naha after a flight from the Taiwanese capital of Taipei. But as the jet came to a stop near the terminal, they said, the left engine began smoking, followed by the right one. Okinawa Airport traffic controllers received no report from the pilot indicating anything was wrong as the plane came in to land and even as it stopped near the terminal to unload passengers, said Japanese Transport Ministry official Akihiko Tamura. When smoke started rising outside, the cabin crew already was standing by the doors. The passengers saw the smoke first and they began to yell and demand that the doors be opened. The main explosion, which engulfed the center of the aircraft in flames, occurred after the passengers slid down the emergency chutes at the front and rear of the plane. Screams erupted as passengers raced across the tarmac to get away from the burning plane and emergency personnel moved in to fight the fire. A figure thought to be the pilot hung on to the cockpit window for several seconds before dropping to the tarmac and sprinting away from the exploding plane. There were no serious injuries among the 157 passengers, including two infants, and crew of eight. A Taiwanese woman was stricken with fear as she slid down the chute.Shi was running and crying. Other passengers started running the moment they slid off the plane. The evacuation took no more than 90 seconds. There were two big explosions. Video from Japanese broadcaster NHK showed a lone firefighter trying to douse the fire immediately after the explosion. But the plane was quickly rocked by two more explosions, which brought the fuselage crashing to the tarmac. China Airlines has a troubled safety record. One of its 747s crashed in 2002 as it flew from Taipei to Hong Kong, leading to 225 deaths. Accidents involving the airline killed about 450 people in the 1990s. |

| Весь экипаж сгоревшего в Японии Боинга-737-800 успел спастись 20.08.2007//01:35 по Гринвичу Япония/Наха Экипаж Боинга-737-800 (рег.№ B-18616) "Китайских авиалиний" (China Airlines), сгоревшего в понедельник в аэропорту японского города Наха, успел покинуть кабину, сообщает телеканал "Эн-эйч-кей" (NHK). Всего на борту самолета находилось 157 пассажиров. Ранее называлась цифра 155, но потом выяснилось, что кроме них там были два маленьких ребенка без билетов. Всех удалось спасти еще до того, как появилось пламя. Главное полицейское управление Японии подтвердило, что с пассажирами все в порядке. Кроме того, на борту Боинга находились восемь членов экипажа. По последним данным, все они успели покинуть самолет. В больницу поступили два человека, но без ранения. Самолет, выполнявший рейс CI-120, совершил посадку около в 10.27 по местному времени (5.27 мск), через семь минут он зарулил на стоянку, а еще через минуту взорвался левый двигатель. Чуть более чем через час огонь был полностью потушен. Сейчас от машины остался только прогоревший насквозь сверху и слева корпус. По предварительным данным, по неизвестной причине воспламенился левый двигатель Боинга. |

| Боинг 737 на китайските авиолинии се запали минути след кацане 20.08.2007//01:35 по Гринуич Япония/Наха Минути, след като кацна на летището в японския град Наха, самолет Боинг 737-800 (рег.№ B-18616) на китайските авиолинии се запали. Една минута след края на рулирането левият двигател на боинга се е взривил, корпусът на самолета се е разцепил на две по средата, а шасито се е пречупило. На борда му е имало 157 пътници и осем членен екипаж. Самолетът е изпълнявал полет CI-120 от Тайпе, Тайван за гр. Наха на о-в Окинава-кен, Япония. Бързата реакция на наземните служби е предотвратила трагедията, съобщават японските медии. Пасажерите са изведени от горящата машина, няма пострадали и сред 8-членния екипаж. Нормално пътниците са изпитали страх и стрес от създалата се критична ситуация. Някои са бягали, имало е писъци и ридания след измъкването им от горящия корпус на лайнера. Честно казано имали са невероятен късмет да се измъкнат невредими, като се има в пред вид , че са последвали две големи експлозии. Само двама души са в болница, но без физически травми, а заради преживения шок. През цялото време огнеборците са обливали корпуса на самолета с пяна, като повече от час е потушаван пожарът. Пораженията по Боинга са сериозни, като почти цялото ляво крило е изгоряло. За момента не е ясна причината за аварията, като от наземните служби уточняват, че преди кацането екипажът не е подавал сигнал за някакъв проблем. Предполага се, че утечка на гориво е довело до инцидента. China Airlines има и други тежки инциденти в своята история. Неин Бооинг747 катастрофира през 2002 г. в полет от Тайпе за Хонг Конг погубвайки 225 души. |

| U.S. military says no indication of hostile fire in incident 22.08. 2007 Iraq/BAGHDAD - A helicopter went down in northern Iraq on Wednesday, killing all 14 U.S. soldiers aboard, the deadliest crash since January 2005. The military said initial indications showed the aircraft experienced a mechanical problem and was not brought down by hostile fire, but the cause of the crash was still under investigation. The UH-60 Black Hawk was part of a pair of helicopters on a nighttime operation when the crash occurred. The four crew members and 10 passengers who perished in the crash were assigned to Task Force Lightning. The U.S. military relies heavily on helicopters to avoid the threat of ambushes and roadside bombs — the deadliest weapon in the militants’ arsenal — and dozens have crashed in accidents or been shot down. The deadliest crash occurred on Jan. 26, 2005, when a CH-53 Sea Stallion transport helicopter went down in a sandstorm in western Iraq, killing 31 U.S. troops. Wednesday’s deaths raised to at least 3,721 members of the U.S. military who have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. |

| Hot air balloon crashes in Canada 25.08.2007 Canada/British Columbia/SURREY A hot air balloon caught fire and crashed in an RV park and campground Friday evening, injuring 11 people. Two other people died. The cause of the accident wasn't known. Weather conditions were clear at the time of the sunset flight. At least three 30-foot RVs caught fire. No one was reported hurt in those blazes. Witnesses said passengers screamed and jumped to the ground as the balloon's basket caught fire. The balloon reportedly took off from a grassy field with 13 passengers. People who had been riding in the balloon suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospitals in the nearby Vancouver area. Fifteen ambulances, two air ambulances and eight fire trucks raced to the scene at the Hazelmere park. Smoke could be seen billowing from the crash site from miles away. At least two vehicles were damaged along with the RVs. The hot-air balloon, was operated by Fantasy Balloons Charters based in Langley, British Columbia, was one of several balloons in flight at the time. |

| Army blows up Hercules plane 29.08.2007 Afghanistan/ near Kabul A modified Hercules C-130K transport plane which was being used to transport SAS units was blown up in the Afghan desert so that sensitive equipment would not fall into enemy hands. The ?50m aircraft landed “very heavily” at night on a rough airstrip in an area where there was a heavy Taliban presence. The Hercules, from 47 RAF Lyneham, was badly damaged and could not be recovered. After some equipment was removed, Army engineers went on board and planted explosives which were then detonated. The Hercules planes used by the special forces are equipped with highly classified satellite and high frequency radio communications suites to relay messages and video from SAS troops on the ground to UK headquarters from anywhere in the world. |
