Американски стратегически
бомбардировач Б-52 се разби край Гуам 20.07. 2008//23:45 по Гринуич Американски бомбардировач Б-52 с шест души на борда се разби до остров Гуам в понеделник около 09:45 часа местно време. Спасителни екипи на бреговата охрана и американските военно морски сили претърсват зоната на инцидента.Телата на трима души от екипажа са били открити във водата. Надеждата да има оцелели сред останалите членове на екипажа намалява с времето. Катастрофиралият В-52 Stratofortress е излетял от авиобазата Андерсен на о-в Гуам за участие във въздушния парад организиран в Деня на освобождението - празник, ознаменуващ деня, в който американците си възвръщат контрола върху о-в Гуам от японците. Същият се числи към авиобазата в Барксдейл, щата Луизиана, и е един от деветте бомбардировачи предислоцирани на о-в Гуам за изпълнение на задачи през следващите 3 месеца. Трудно е да си представим какво му се е случило при благоприятните метеорологични условия на полета и типичната му надеждност изразяваща се в тяговъоръжеността му от 8 двигателя Pratt & Whitney (TF33-P-3/103 turbofan). Знае се, че е бил без въоръжение на борда. Медиите не съобщават и за разменени реплики на екипажа с контролната кула, които да разкриват възникнал технически проблем по време на полета. Според медиите САЩ разполагат с 93 броя Б-52Н в състояние да изпълняват задачи. Стойността на един Б-52 се оценява през 1998 г. на 53. 4 млн американски долара. |

Cargo plane from Willow Run Airport in Michigan crashes in Mexico, kills pilot 06.07.2008//07:15 GMT RAMOS ARIZPE, Mexico -- A plane carrying auto parts for a General Motors Corp. plant in Mexico crashed Sunday at 2:15 a.m. as it was attempting to land in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, killing the pilot and seriously injuring the co-pilot, U.S. officials said. Mexican officials said the co-pilot suffered second- and third-degree burns and remained in critical condition at a hospital in the nearby city of Saltillo. Don McNeff, spokesman for the plane's operator, Ypsilanti-based USA Jet Airlines, said the DC-9-15 freighter (reg.

The intended destination was Saltillo, the capital city of the northeast Mexican state of Coahuila. "The accident occurred just outside the airport," said McNeff. Both crew-members were U.S. citizens. The National Transportation Safety Board has sent investigators to aid Mexican authorities in finding possible causes for the crash, but no developments have been made in the investigation, McNeff said. |

3 die as cargo jet crashes in Colombia
07.07.2008//08:58 GMT Colombia/ Madrid The crew of the Boeing 747-200 Kalitta Air jet reported a fire in one the plane's turbines just two minutes after taking off from Bogota's El Dorado Airport at 3:50 a.m. As they turned back toward the runway, the plane crashed into a wide grassy field near the town of Madrid and plowed into a small wooden home where three people were killed. Another person who was sleeping in the house was treated for serious injuries in a nearby hospital. Hours after the crash, television images showed the still smoldering debris, which was spread out over a one-kilometer wide radius. The nose of the aircraft with the first two letters of the name Kalitta still visible lay upside down. Nearby, lay the twisted remains of one of the turbines and the wheels of the aircraft. Civil aviation authorities said they had found the plane's black box and that it would be analyzed to determine the cause of the crash. The aircraft was believed to have fallen from an altitude of only 1,500 meters. The crew members were identified by Ypsilanti, Mich.-based Kalitta as U.S. citizens Joseph Kendall, 59, Valrico, Fla; Steve Szynkowski, 28, McDonough, Ga.; Richard Dunlap, 65, Marietta, Ga.; Mohamed Shah, Coral Springs, 30; Bryant Beebe, 51, Big Pine Key, ; Ivan Dankha, 49, Surprise, Ariz.; and Frank Holley, 45, Milton, as well as Dominican national Jimmy Herrera, 45, Miami. Kendall suffered serious head wounds and internal injuries and underwent surgery, according to Nader Lujan the director of the Police hospital where six of the crew members were taken. Szynkowski apparently suffered serious injury to the spine, he said. Dankha and Holley were treated for minor injuries at a hospital close to the crash site and were expected to be released. Local farmers rushed to the site as soon as the plane went down but could not get close enough to help the injured because of the roaring flames. The Colombian Air Force responded to the crash and pulled the crew members from the mangled remains of the cockpit before dawn. Air Force nurse Laura Maria Linares told Caracol that she crawled into the cockpit through one of the windows and first attended Kendallm, who was in serious condition but conscious. Kalitta was operating the plane for Miami-based Centurion Air Cargo. Centurion has an annual contract with Kalitta to lease an aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance, and Kalitta usually flies daily to Latin America for Centurion. The majority of the freight on board were flowers from Colombia from Centurion's customers. Kalitta is responsible for insuring the plane and its freight. |

Американски товарен самолет се разби в Колумбия, а цветята му изгорели 07.07.2008//08:58 по Гринуич Колумбия/Мадрид Товарен Боинг 747-200 с регистрационен номер N714CK и собственост на Калита Еър е катастрофирал минути след излитането си от летище Елдорадо в Богота, столицата на Колумбия. Самолетът бил натоварен основно с цветя и изпълнявал полет 164 в полза на американския авиооператор Центурион Еър Карго. Преди трагедията да се случи екипажът съобщил за запалване на един от двигателите и взел решение да се върне обратно в Богота. Самолетът се сгромолясъл от височина приблизително 1500 метра на затревено поле като помел дървена вила, в която за зла участ имало хора. Трима от намиращите се във вилата загинали, а четвъртият, спящ дълбоко, получил сериозни наранявания. Самолетът се усукал, намачкал и разбира се – при толкова гориво, бил обхванат от адски пламъци. Наоколо се разлетели парчета от корпуса му, колесници, гуми и дори двигатели. Осемте члена на екипажа, от които 7 американци и 1 доминиканец, получили различни по тежест наранявания, но в най-критично състояние е Кендал, който е с тежка травма на главата. Той бил затиснат с други членове на екипажа под останките на самолета, но смела и стройна колумбийка, военно медицинска сестра, се промушила през натрошен прозорец на корпуса на самолета и ги спасила. Започнало е разследване за изясняване причините за катастрофата, което ще бъде улеснено от намерените вече бордови самописци –„черните кутии”. |

US B-52 crashes off Guam
20.07.2008// 23:45 GMT Guam / about 30 miles NW of Apra Harbor An Air Force B-52 bomber crashed off Guam on Monday morning, killing at least three airmen and leading to an intensive ocean search for the remaining three crew members, the military said. Three vessels including a destroyer, three helicopters, two F-15 fighter jets and a Navy P-3 Orion aircraft based in Japan were involved in the search, which covered roughly 3,000 square miles of the Pacific. Search conditions are "ideal," with light winds, calm seas and good visibility. The unarmed B-52 bomber was en route from Guam's Andersen Air Force Base to conduct a flyover in a parade on another part of the island when it crashed around 9:45 a.m. Monday about 30 miles northwest of Apra Harbor, the Air Force said. The Liberation Day parade celebrates the day the U.S. military arrived on Guam to retake control of the island from Japan. The Air Force said a board of officers will investigate the accident. The three crew members were wearing their life vests when their bodies were recovered. The accident is the second for the Air Force this year on Guam, a U.S. territory 3,700 miles southwest of Hawaii. In February, a B-2 crashed at Andersen shortly after takeoff in the first-ever crash of a stealth bomber. Both pilots ejected safely. The military estimated the cost of the loss of the aircraft at $1.4 billion. The B-52 is worth $53.4 million and is one of the nine aircrafts deployed on Guam for the next three months. The plane that crashed Monday was based at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana and deployed to Guam as part of the Department of Defense's continuous bomber presence mission in the Pacific. The Air Force has been rotating B-1, B-2 and B-52 bombers through Guam since 2004 to boost the U.S. security presence in the Asia-Pacific region while other U.S. forces in the area have been sent to the Middle East. The Air Force has 93 B-52 bombers remaining in its fleet. The B-52 is a long-range, heavy bomber that can refuel in midair. Since the 159-foot-long bomber was first placed into service in 1955, it has been used for a wide range of missions from attacks to ocean surveillance. According to the Air Force's Web site, the B-52 Stratofortress has been the backbone of the manned strategic bomber force for the United States for more than four decades. |

Б-52 разбился в районе острова Гуам 20.07. 2008//23:45 по Гринвичу По меньшей мере три члена экипажа бомбардировщика Б-52 ВВС США погибли при его крушении в районе острова Гуам в Тихом океане. На борту бомбардировщика, который должен был принять участие в воздушном параде, находились шесть членов экипажа. В настоящее время ведутся поиски оставшихся трех членов экипажа. В поисках принимают участие шесть кораблей, три вертолета, два истребителя F-15 и один бомбардировщик Б-52. О причинах аварии пока не сообщается. Это уже вторая катастрофа американских бомбардировщиков на авиабазе Андерсен на острове Гуам с начала 2008 года. В феврале там разбился бомбардировщик-невидимка Б-2. Двое пилотов катапультировались. Причиной катастрофы стало накопление влаги в датчиках самолета. После аварии в феврале ВВС США приостановили полеты Б-2 и возобновили их только в конце апреля. Комиссия по расследованию инцидента передала соответствующие рекомендации в ВВС. |

25.07.2008*/Philippines/Manila - Hole forces Qantas plane to land The Qantas aircraft, a Boeing 747-400 plane (reg. VH-OJK) was operating a scheduled passenger service from Hong Kong to Melbourne Australia (Flight QF30 - from London,UK, via Hong Kong to Melbournq Australia). At approximately 29,000 feet, the crew were forced to conduct an emergency descent after a section of the fuselage separated and resulted in a rapid decompression of the cabin. The crew descended the aircraft to 10,000 feet in accordance with established procedures and diverted the aircraft to Manila where a safe landing was carried out. Passengers described hearing a large bang and feeling a rush of wind and debris through the cabin about an hour after Flight QF30 left Hong Kong at 0900 local time (0100 GMT). The flight, which had been due to arrive in Melbourne at 11:45 GMT, landed in Manila just after 0300 GMT (1100 local time ). The aircraft taxied to the terminal unassisted, where the passengers and crew disembarked. There were no reported injuries. Initial information indicates that a section of the fuselage has separated in the area of the forward cargo compartment. "Seeing the hole caused a lot of emotion. People were physically shaking. Many realised how close they were to their own mortality." Engineers are investigating what caused the hole - about 2.5m to 3m in diameter - which led to cabin pressure problems. |

8 killed in Minnesota plane crash
31.07.2008 //US/Minn./Owatonna - A charter plane crashed while attempting to land at a regional airport in southern Minnesota on Thursday morning, killing eight people aboard. One of the eight died after being taken to a hospital. The victims, whose names weren't immediately released, were six passengers and two crew members, said Shaun LaDue, police chief of Owatonna, Minnesota. The Raytheon Hawker 800 plane (N818MV) left Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Thursday morning and crashed off runway 30 at Owatonna. The plane's passengers were customers of Owatonna architectural glass manufacturer Viracon. No Viracon employees were aboard, it said. The Hawker's pilot radioed the airport at 9:44 a.m. to say the plane was approaching for a landing. Radar checked it in at 1,600 feet at the time of the call. The crash apparently happened shortly after that. The plane was owned by charter firm East Coast Jets Inc. |
