| Самолет на Етиопските авиолинии се разби в морето край Бейрут
25.01.2010//00:35 по Гринуич Ливан/Бейрут Самолет на Етиопските авиолинии с 90 души на борда се разби в Средиземно море малко след излитане от летището в Бейрут. Самолетът Боинг 737-800, с бордови номер ET-ANB, изчезнал от радарите минути след като излетял за Адис Абеба в 00.35 часа по Гринуич. На борда на самолета е имало 54 ливанци, 22 етиопци, един иракчанин, французойка - съпругата на френския посланик в Ливан, един сириец, двама души с двойно ливанско и британско гражданство, един с ливанско и канадско гражданство, жена с руско и ливанско гражданство и седем души екипаж, съобщи министърът на транспорта на Ливан Ариди. Жители на крайбрежните райони видели да се разбива самолет в пламъци. Летищните власти предполагат, че самолетът е бил ударен от мълния преди да падне в морето. Машината паднала в района на селището Саадият, на 12 км южно от Бейрут и 3.5 км от брега. Засега лошото време се спряга като вероятна причина за катастрофата. Според РВД на летището екипажът не изпълнил тяхно указание да заобиколи бурята, а е лродължил да лети право към нея. Остава въпросът имал ли е към този момент контрол над самолета. Започнала е операция по издирване на разбилия се самолет и търсене на оцелели.. В операцията участват ливански кораби, както и хеликоптери и кораби на Временните сили на ООН в Ливан. Локализирани са фюзелажът и бордовите самописци, като експертите се надяяват, че последните ще могат да бъдат изведени от дъното на морето. |
| Крушение самолета "Боинг-737" в Ливане 25.01.2010//00:35 по Гринвичу Ливан/Бейрут Самолет Boeing 737-800 (ET-ANB) эфиопской авиакомпании Ethiopian Airlines, следовавший по курсу Бейрут - Аддис-Абеба, потерпел крушение над Средиземным морем близ ливанского побережья 25 января через несколько минут после взлета из международного аэропорта города Бейрут. По официальной версии, причиной авиакатастрофы послужили плохие погодные условия - дождь и гроза. Диспетчеры приказали пилоту развернуться, чтобы избежать вхождения в шторм, но летчик не выполнил приказ. Согласно предварительным данным, на борту авиалайнера находилось 90 человек, в том числе 54 гражданина Ливана, 22 - Эфиопии, остальные - граждане Ирака, Сирии, Франции, Канады, подданные Великобритании. На борту лайнера находилась также гражданка России ливанского происхождения. На данный момент найдены тела 34 погибших. Спасатели полагают, что большинство тел погибших пассажиров находятся внутри самолета. В понедельник у побережья Ливана был обнаружен фюзеляж эфиопского самолета. Во вторник установили местонахождение бортового самописца эфиопского авиалайнера. Предположительно, "черный ящик" находится на глубине 500 метров. В поисково-спасательных работах участвуют ливанские военные, служащие Временных сил ООН в Ливане, базирующиеся в Средиземном море корабли 6-го флота США. В связи с трагедией 26 января объявлен в Ливане днем национального траура. |
| Crash kills Mexican tycoon Moises Saba Masri 11.01.2010//02:39 GMT Mexico/Mexico City/Cuajimalpa - All five people aboard, including business magnate Moises Saba Masri, were killed when a helicopter crashed in the Mexican capital. Saba Masri, his wife, son (Alberto Saba) and daughter-in-law were killed in the crash late Sunday after an eight-seat Agusta 109 helicopter, registered XA-LSA, heading into Mexico City from the nearby city of Toluca clipped the top of a three-story building, fell into a deep gully and apparently exploded, said Mexico City Civil Defense Secretary Elias Moreno. The pilot, Armando Fernandez, also died. The helicopter suddenly began to lose altitude, hit the top floor of a three-story house, cut a tree in half and finally fell to the bottom of a ravine 20 meters (65 feet) deep, where it exploded and burned. |

| The victims were left completely charred, so that “identification was difficult,” he said.
Moreno said that it was “very unusual” that the aircraft would fly “so late at night” from Toluca, a city some 50 kilometers (31 miles) west of Mexico City, where the family had arrived just moments before in a private jet from New York. In that area of Cuajimalpa at that time there was also a fog bank which “could have contributed” to the accident, he said. Moises Saba was the head of several real-estate groups including hotel owners Celha and IUZA, and of companies like Ayotla Textile Industries and the Alsavision group. He was also president of the mobile-phone operator Unefon, and in 2007 tried without success with his father Alberto Saba Rafoul to acquire Aeromexico, one of the nation’s biggest airlines. |

| 46 injured after plane crash lands in Iran 24.01.2010//03:50 GMT Iran/ Mashhad A Russian-made Iranian passenger plane carrying 157 passengers and 13 crew crash landed in northeastern Iran on Sunday injuring at least 46 people, state television reported. The broadcast quoted Iran's civil aviation spokesman, Reza Jafarzadeh, as saying that no one was killed in the accident. He gave no indication of what might have caused the accident. The Kogalymavia Tu-154 plane (RA-85787), rented and operated by Iranian Taban Air, caught fire upon landing at Mashhad airport at 7:20 a.m. local time (0350 GMT). The injured have been taken to hospitals in Mashhad, the report added. Only 4 of them remained hospitalized now. |

| Ethiopian Airlines Boeing Crashes in Storm Off Beirut 25.01.2010//00:35 GMT Lebanon/Beirut An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737-800, registered ET-ANB, with 90 people on board crashed into the Mediterranean Sea off Beirut after departing the Lebanese capital in stormy weather. There were no reports of survivors. 34 bodies have been found, with the search focused 8 kilometers (5 miles) offshore. The jetliner’s voice and data recorders are likely to be recovered and should reveal what brought it down, Elias Murr, Lebanon’s defense minister said. “In principle the weather factor is the cause of the crash,” Murr said at a press conference in Beirut, which has been lashed by heavy rain and high winds for much of the past two days. Flight ET409 left the city’s Rafik Hariri International Airport for Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, at 2:35 a.m. and lost contact with air traffic control shortly afterward. The crash is the fourth fatal accident involving the new generation of Boeing 737s introduced 12 years ago and Ethiopian Airlines’ first since 1988, excluding a fatal hijacking in 1996, according to data compiled by London-based aviation consultant Ascend. Water at the crash site is between 50 meters and 100 meters (164-328 feet) deep, Murr said. Local military personnel are being assisted by a U.S. ship, a helicopter from Britain’s Royal Air Force and forces from France and the United Nations. Flames were seen coming from the aircraft before the crash near Na’ameh town, south of Beirut, according to the state-run Lebanese National News Agency. Terrorism is unlikely to have been a factor, Lebanese President Michel Suleiman said in Beirut. Saad Hariri, the country’s prime minister, declared Monday a day of mourning for the victims of the event. Among the 83 passengers and seven crew listed as being on the plane were 54 Lebanese nationals, 22 Ethiopians, one Iraqi, one Syrian, one Canadian and one Russian, as well as 2 Britons and the French ambassador's wife, Marla Pietton. The plane had been built in 2002 and a maintenance check a month ago found no evidence of technical problems. The crashed 737-800 was built in 2002 and operated with Irish discount carrier Ryanair Holdings Plc until April last year, when it went to CIT Group Inc.’s aerospace unit before being leased to Ethiopian Airlines in September, according to Ascend. |

| Senior Supt. Willie Dangane, Cotabato City police chief, said the PAF’s gray Nomad aircraft, a twin-engine turboprop, crashed inside the Virgo Subdivision in Cotabato City’s Rosary Heights 9 district at 11:35 a.m. Thursday.
Four minutes after takeoff the pilot contacted the (control) tower informing that the plane lost power and they are returning to the airport, but the plane disappeared from radar. All eight people on board were killed, their bodies charred, as the plane burst into flames upon hitting the ground. The plane came from Davao City, where the occupants attended a military conference, and landed at the Cotabato airport in Awang town, Maguindanao to drop off Col. Cris Tumanda, an Air Force Tactical Operations Group commander. The plane then took off to bring the remaining PAF personnel to Zamboanga City. The 12-seater plane built in Australia is one of the two remaining serviceable Nomads in the Air Force inventory. Another Nomad is undergoing repair. The Nomads were purchased brand new by the Air Force in December 1975. |
