| Восемь человек погибли при крушении самолета в Бразилии 04.11.2007//16:10 по Гринвичу Бразилия/Сан-Паулу Восемь человек погибли и двое получили ранения в воскресенье при крушении небольшого самолета в бразильском городе Сан-Паулу. Самолет бизнес-класса LearJet 35А (PT-OVC), направлявшийся в Рио-де-Жанейро, упал на жилой квартал в северной части Сан-Паулу через несколько минут после взлета и загорелся. Из-под обломков были извлечены, в частности, тела четырех мужчин, двух женщин, грудного младенца и обугленого до неузнаваемости человека. В тушении пожара, начавшегося на месте падения самолета, участвовало более 60 человек и 22 пожарных расчета. Огонь удалось потушить лишь спустя четыре часа после инцидента. Погибли оба пилота самолета и шестеро граждан на земле, являвшихся членами одной семьи. Ведется расследование причин аварии. |

| Осем загинали и двама ранени при катастрофа на самолет в Бразилия 04.11.2007//16:10 по Гринуич Бразилия/ Сао Пауло Бизнес самолет Learjet 35A (PT-OVC) ,за полети по вътрешни линии, катастрофира минути след излитането си от летището Campo de Marte на град Сао Пауло, Бразилия. Самолетът, собственост на бразилската авиокомпания Reali Taxi Aereo, завил неочаквано надясно при опита се да набере височина и паднал в гъсто населен район, като сринал една къща и нанесъл сериозни щети на друга. Загинали са двамата пилоти в самолета и 6 души на земята -членове на едно семейство. Сред загиналите е 9-месечно дете. Ранени са двама души. Същите са настанени в болница. Повече от 60 пожарникари и спасители с кучета са участвали в претърсването на района за пострадали при катастрофата. Това е пета авиокатастрофа за период от няколко дни в този район. На 17.07. т.г. Сао Пауло стана сцена на най-голямата авиокатастрофа за годината, когато пътнически самолет на авиокомпанията Tam Linhas Aereas катастрофира при приземяването си отнемайки живота на 199 души. Води се разследване на причините за трагедията, но експертите едва ли ще отговорят на въпроса: "Защо катастрофите станаха тук и в това време, а някои от тях-с разлика само от няколко часа?" |

| Four killed as cargo plane crashes on takeoff in Khartoum 08.11.2007 Sudan/Khartoum Two Sudanese soldiers and two airport workers on the ground in Khartoum were killed Thursday when a Russian-made Antonov An-12 cargo plane crash-landed minutes after takeoff from the Sudanese capital. The plane rammed into a tank and five other military vehicles on a military airfield adjacent to the Khartoum international airport and immediately caught fire. None of the plane's crew of four, three Russians and a Sudanese, were hurt in the crash or the subsequent blaze but were taken to a hospital for precautionary checkups. The Antonov, belonging to Juba Air Cargo, carried a 12-ton cargo and a 7-hour fuel supply. The plane took off from Khartoum destined for Juba, the capital of Southern Sudan, but two minutes later, the pilot asked for permission to turn back and land again after a hawk hit the plane. As it touched ground, the plane swerved off the runway and moved erratically before crashing into the military vehicles. A fire tender helping to put off the blaze crashed through the bridge and plunged into the Nile River. |

Самолетът, собственост на компанията Juba Air Cargo, бил на борда с 12 тона товар и гориво за 7-часов полет. Две минути след излитането си командирът доложил за проблем в един от двигателите и поискал разрешение за аварийно кацане на летището в Хартум. При приземяването самолетът завил и напуснал пределите на пистата, насочил се към вонната база наблизо и връхлетял върху танк и 5 други военнопревозни средства. Самолетът се запалил, но екипажът му успял своевременно да го напусне и се спасил без значими наранявания. Местен жител се завтекъл да помогне при потушаване на пламъците, но паднал от моста в река Нил. Предполага се, че причината за аварията е удар с хищна птица при излитането. |

| U.S. Blackhawk helicopter crashes in Italy; 6 dead 08.11.2007 Italy/Santa Lucia Di Piave A sixth U.S. service member died Friday from injuries sustained when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in northeastern Italy on Thursday. The helicopter, carrying 11 U.S. military personnel, crashed Thursday afternoon about 22 miles from Aviano, Italy. Four people were killed and seven were injured in the crash, and two of the injured later died. One of the dead was a woman, no one on the ground was hurt. The U.S. military said the helicopter was an Army UH-60 Black Hawk attached to the 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment. The craft crashed in an open area near the Piave River north of Treviso, between the towns of Maserata Sul Piave and Santa Lucia Di Piave. The helicopter appeared crumpled and charred in photos from the crash. The helicopter crashed near the bridge of a major highway and the road was closed as a precaution. The copter had taken off from Aviano Air Base, but fire authorities could not confirm whether it was leaving or returning to the base. The Black Hawk is considered the workhorse of the military's helicopter fleet. It is used in missions in Iraq and Afghanistan to carry troops and equipment. The military has employed Black Hawks for about three decades. The helicopter's first combat mission was about 25 years ago. |
| В Италии разбился американский военный вертолет; погибли 6 08.11.2007 Италия/Санта-Лучия-ди-Пьяве Разбившийся в четверг в Италии американский военный вертолет упал на камни в устье реки Пьяве (Piave). Очевидцы происшествия утверждают, что машина спикировала по диагонали с поднятым кверху хвостом. Американские военные, выжившие в катастрофе вертолета, доставлены в больницы городов Тревизо и Конельяно. В катастрофе погибли 4 человека и еще 7 получили ранения. Позднее от своих ранений скончались еще 2. Установлено, что разбилась боевая машина, которая дислоцировалась на базе ВВС США в Авиано (Aviano). Речь идет о вертолете UH-60 Black Нawk, предназначенном для транспортировки войск. На борту вертолета, совершавшего тренировочный полет, в момент катастрофы находились 11 американских военнослужащих. Вертолет упал в окрестностях местечка Санта-Лучия-ди-Пьяве (Santa Lucia di Piave), в районе, где не было жилых построек. На место происшествия немедленно прибыли вертолеты итальянских пожарных, которым удалось быстро потушить огонь и спасти раненых. По поступающим с места происшествия данным, вертолет упал всего в 200 метрах от автострады А-27, движение по которой на всякий случай сейчас перекрыто. Зона падения американского вертолета оцеплена карабинерами. Там работают специалисты ВВС США. Данных о причинах инцидента пока не поступало. |
| 05.11.2007 - Пятеро членов экипажа самолета компании US Airways, который летел из Вашингтона в Бостон, были госпитализированы сразу после приземления из-за плохого самочувствия. Самолет выполнял рейс 2022 и на его борту находился 81 пассажир. После вылета самолета из аэропорта имени Рейгана в пригороде Вашингтона пассажиры и экипаж почувствовали в самолете запах, похожий на запах серы. Самолет вернулся на аэродром и его заменили на другой. Их жизни в настоящее время ничто не угрожает, они получают кислородную терапию. Врач сказал, что двое членов экипажа отравились угарным газом. Никто из пассажиров не пострадал. Инцидент подчеркивает необходимость изучения воздуха кабины пилотов на предмет опасных веществ, о чем специалисты давно предупреждали. |

| Eight dead after small jet crashes in Brazil Six people on the ground in Sao Paulo die 04.11.2007// 16:10 GMT Brazil, SAO PAULO An executive jet crashed in a heavily populated neighborhood of Sao Paulo on Sunday, killing eight people and turning homes into a pile of smoky rubble just months after the city was the site of Brazil’s deadliest air disaster. The plane, a Learjet 35A (PT-OVC) belonging to a Brazilian air taxi company, slammed into several houses shortly after taking off. Killed in the crash were the pilot, the co-pilot and six people on the ground, including a child, according to Sao Paulo’s state public safety department and the airport authority. Two people on the ground were injured. The plane was not carrying any passengers. Investigators were trying to determine the cause of the crash, but there were no immediate indications that it was related to Brazil’s recent air-traffic chaos that reached a crisis point with the July 17 crash of a Tam Linhas Aereas SA jetliner, which slammed into a building in Sao Paulo, killing 199 people. That crash happened at Sao Paulo’s Congonhas airport, widely criticized for having a short runway that makes landing tricky during rainy conditions. The jet that crashed Sunday afternoon took off from the Campo de Marte airport, used by executive jets and helicopters, and was en route to Rio de Janeiro. Witnesses told the Learjet plowed nose first into the blue-collar neighborhood as it apparently tried to return to the airport during cloudy and slightly rainy conditions. One home was destroyed and at least one more was heavily damaged. More than 60 firefighters combed through the debris hours later. |

| А-340 излезе от пистата при приземяване в Еквадор 09.11.2007//22:05 по Гринуич Еквадор/Кито- Пътнически авиолайнер, собственост на испанския авиоператор Iberia Airlines, с 347 души на борда излезе от пистата при кацане в еквадорската столица Кито. За щастие никой от намиращите се на борда не е пострадал. Някои пътници разказват, че видели да се пука гума и да излиза дим от един от двигателите. Вероятно поради спуканата гума, екипажът загубил контрол над управлението на самолета и той кривнал по затревената площ извън пределите на полосата за излитане и кацане. Там, поради нейната неравност, той заорал почвата с крило и един от двигателите си. По тези елементи уврежданията са видими. Самолетът Airbus A340-600 (EC-JOH) изпълнявал полет IB 643 по маршрута Мадрид-Кито-Гуайякуил-Мадрид и при кацането му в Кито ръмяло, а пистата била мокра. Във връзка с инцидента летището в Кито ще бъде затворено за две денонощия. |

| Action in Ensenada's morgue 13.11.2007//Updated -14.11.2007 Mexico/Ensenada– Mexican media reported he was believed to be a member of the region's Arellano Felix drug cartel. The unusual events started Tuesday afternoon when a helicopter crashed south of Ensenada, along a road that connects the coastal city with the Valle de la Trinidad. The helicopter reportedly had been following the race course. The race began Tuesday in Ensenada and ends tomorrow in Cabo San Lucas. Two people were found dead at the crash site: Gonzalez and a man identified as Ismael Romo Reyes. Two people were injured and were being treated at an Ensenada hospital. About 9 p.m. Wednesday, six to 12 carloads of armed men stormed Ensenada's morgue, witnesses reported. They initially took two state social workers hostage as they grabbed Gonzalez's body. The unidentified workers were released and are in good health, Mexican authorities said. Mexican law enforcement officials pursued the group, and a shootout occurred on the road that connects Ensenada to Tecate. Ensenada police officers Enrique Lemus Hinojosa and Salvador Gonzalez Quijano were killed. The assailants escaped with Gonzalez's body. |

| Plane crash in Turkey kills all 57 aboard 29.11.2007/23:36 GMT An Atlasjet plane crashed shortly before it was to land in central Turkey early Friday, killing all 57 people on board, including a 6-week-old girl. A rescue helicopter had reached the wreckage of the plane on a mountainous region near the town of Keciborlu, in Isparta province, and reported back that no one had survived the crash. The 165-seat MD 83 jetliner took off from Istanbul at 00:51 a.m. (22:51 GMT), headed to Isparta, but went off the radar just before landing at 01:36 a.m. (23:36 GMT). The Atlasjet liner with tail number TC-AKM and C/n 53185 had performed Flight KK4203 from Istanbul to Isparta with 50 passengers and 7 crew-members (2 pilots, 1 bord-mechanic and four hostesses) on board. Helicopters took off from Ankara, the capital, to search for the plane, which went missing after it reported it was approaching the airport near the city of Isparta. The cause of the crash was not known. There was no fog or strong winds at the time of the crash. The plane went missing shortly after the pilot reported having seen the airport and was ready to land. Families of the passengers first rushed to the airports of Istanbul and Isparta for news of their loved ones and later began heading toward the crash scene, private NTV television reported. Investigators found the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, which will help them determine the cause of the crash. |
| Все пассажиры разбившегося в Турции самолета погибли 29.11.2007/23:36 по Гринвичу 57 пассажиров разбившегося в Турции в пятницу самолета частной турецкой авиакомпании AtlasJet погибли. Самолет исчез с радаров за несколько минут до посадки в аэропорту города Испарта на юге Турции (150 километров от Антальи). Его обломки уже найдены. Выживших в катастрофе нет. В район падения самолета направлены военные вертолеты, бригады спасателей, однако у них возникли проблемы с проведением необходимых работ в связи со сложным рельефом местности. "Мы не располагаем данными о технических неполадках в самолете. С ним все было в порядке. Погодные условия также были благоприятными для посадки", - подчеркнул представитель авиакомпании. Телеканал CNN-Turk в этой связи приводит последние слова пилота самолета: "Вижу ВПП, иду на посадку". Затем связь с самолетом неожиданно исчезла. Самолет MD83 (TC-AKM), совершавший рейс KK4203 из Стамбула в Испарту, исчез с радаров около 2.30 мск, за несколько минут до посадки в аэропорту назначения. Значительная часть провинции Испарта расположена в горной местности. Обломки самолета найдены в районе Тюрбетепе, высота которого составляет 1 тысяча 830 метров над уровнем моря. Они разбросаны на значительной территории. "Повсюду видны тела погибших, их личные вещи. Передняя и хвостовая части, а также крылья лайнера разрушены. Часть тел находится в креслах", - передает телекомпания NTV. Подразделения жандармерии оцепили район падения самолета. Туда направляются жители близлежащих деревень. На борту лайнера, рассчитанного на перевозку 165 человек, находились 50 пассажиров и семь членов экипажа. Все пассажиры - местные граждане. Самолет разбился в 12 километрах от аэропорта. "Черный ящик" самолета обнаружен. Турецкие власти рассматривают различные версии катастрофы. Власти предполагают, что причиной падения самолета мог стать так называемый "человеческий фактор" или ошибки авиадиспетчеров. |

| Самолет с 57 души на борда се разби в Турция; няма оцелели 29.11.2007/23:36 по Гринуич Турция/провинция Испарта/Испарта Самолет MD83, с бордови номер TC-AKM на турската авиокомпания AtlasJet, се разби малко преди приземяването си. Всичките 57 души на борда (в това число и момиченце на 6 месеца) загинали на място.. Причината за катастрофата остава загадка. Инцидентът станал при ясно време, а самолетът бил напълно изправен технически (произведен 1996 г. и наскоро преминал пълен технически преглед). Освен това се разбил на място, което е далеч от маршрута му. До късния следобед вчера нямаше данни на борда да са пътували български граждани. В нощта срещу петък машината на авиокомпания AtlasJet изпълнявала полет КК4203 от Истанбул до Испарта, в Югозападна Турция. Малко преди да се приземи обаче, самолетът неочаквано изчезнал от радарите. Пет часа по-късно спасителни екипи открили останките на самолета на височина 1830 м в планински район в провинция Испарта. Мястото на катастрофата дори не е в маршрута на самолета. Останките му били разпръснати в голям периметър. При последния разговор между контролната кула и пилотите те уведомяват, че ще кацат. По нищо не личи, че има проблем на борда. Според някои източници инцидентът може да е вследствие на несъгласувани действия и грешка на диспечерите. Експертите тепърва ще разследват причината, за което ще им помогне и откритата черна кутия на машината. Навсякъде около самолета били разпръснати куфари, лични вещи и списания. Имената на всички пътници на борда са турски. Близките на жертвите отишли на летището в Истанбул, а други пристигнали направо на мястото на катастрофата. Досега "Атлас джет" не е имала фатален инцидент. През август неин самолет бе отвлечен от двама похитители, които взеха заложници на борда, но по-късно се предадоха. |
