| В авиакатастрофе в Конго погибли восемь человек 07.09.2007/10:00 по Гринвичу ДР Конго/ Гома При крушении грузового самолета Ан-12 в Демократической Республике Конго в пятницу, по уточненным данным, погибли восемь человек, в том числе экипаж самолета – два гражданина Украины и два гражданина Грузии - штурман самолета - Зураб Мосия (55) и механик- Артур Багдасаров. В числе погибших в авиакатастрофе - трое детей. При посадке в аэропорту города Гома самолет проскочил взлетно-посадочную полосу, задел куски затвердевшей лавы, образовавшиеся после извержения 2001 года, и загорелся. "У самолета взорвалась покрышка, затем покрышка с другой стороны, и самолет задел куски лавы в конце взлетно-посадочной полосы", - сказал очевидец катастрофы. Самолет "Антонов" российского производства, принадлежавший местной авиакомпании Galaxy Kavatsi Аirlines, с грузом пальмового масла совершал перелет Киншаса - Букаву с промежуточной посадкой в Гома. По данным местных авиадиспетчеров, самолет зарегистрирован в Грузии. |
| Cargo plane crashes on Congo runway 07.09.2007/10:00 GMT DR Congo/Goma A cargo plane crashed into a chunk of hardened lava at an airport in eastern Congo Friday, bursting into flames and killing at least eight people. The Antonov-12 landed too far down the runway in Goma to allow it to stop before hitting the lava rocks. Lava from a volcanic eruption in 2001 flowed through half of Goma and the airport, reducing the area where aircraft could land. Rescue teams recovered the bodies. Two of the crew members were Ucrainians and two were Georgian. The pilots were flying for a Congolese company, Galaxy Kavatsi.The plane had taken off from the capital, Kinshasa, carrying oil and beauty products. Goma is on Congo's eastern border with Rwanda, on Lake Kivu. ITAR-Tass reported from Georgia that the plane was owned by Georgian carrier Transavi-service. It quoted Georgia's transport ministry as saying the plane wasn't authorized to fly because its license had expired in March and had not been renewed. Cargo planes were banned from carrying passengers after several accidents, but some continue to carry them clandestinely. |

| Карго самолет катастрофира при кацане в Конго 07.09.2007/10:00 по Гринуич ДР Конго/ Гома Карго самолет Антонов-12 с оператор местната Galaxy Incorporation и собственик грузинската авиокомпания Transaviservice, катастрофира при кацане на летището в Гома, Д.Р. Конго. Загинали са 8 души на борда. В това число е и четери-членният екипаж състоящ се от двама украинци и двама грузинци. Самолетът изпълнявал вътрешен полет по маршрута Киншаса-Гома-Букаву. Пренасял 18 т. товар от палмово масло и козметика. При кацането си на летището в Гома излязъл извън пределите на полосата, ударил се в късове втвърдена лава, останали от изригването на вулкана Нирагонго през 2001 г. и се възпламенил. Последвали експлозии. Лавата в Гома е покрила част от летището, според някои осведомителни агенции, и значително скъсява разстоянието за пробег на самолетите. Правителството в Д.Р. Конго наскоро заповяда редица мерки за повишаване безопасността в авиацията, в това число забраната карго самолетите да качват на борда си пасажери, както и строго да се съблюдават от авиокомпаниите допустимите норми за товарене на самолетите. Явно тези мерки се пренебрегват мълчаливо. Според грузинският министър на транспорта, катастрофиралият самолет е с изтекъл лиценз от март т. г., като за подновяването му трябва да се минат съответните технически проверки за годност и към момента не би трябвало да лети.

| 24.09.2007 - Президент Венесуэлы Уго Чавес решил с понедельника перейти на собственное «венесуэльское время» для того, чтобы увеличить работоспособность своих граждан. Лидер Венесуэлы планирует перевести стрелки часов страны, идущей по пути «социализма XXI века», на полчаса назад. Таким образом разница с временем по Гринвичу составит не минус четыре часа, как в сейчас, а минус четыре с половиной часа. По мнению венесуэльского президента, это изменение необходимо, чтобы у венесуэльцев «обмен веществ в головном мозге улучшался в утренние часы, благодаря солнечному свету». Кроме того, он полагает, что «школьники теперь смогут просыпаться при дневном свете, а ложится до того, как стемнеет». Предвосхищая возможную реакцию со стороны международного сообщества, Чавес заявил журналистам: «Мне совершенно безразлично, что после моих предложений меня посчитают сумасшедшим. Пусть говорят, что хотят». РИА "Новости" |

| A Scandinavian Airlines, SAS, plane seen off the runway at the airport in Vilnius, Lithuania, Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2007. A turboprop plane carrying 52 people skidded off the runway and smashed one wing into the ground after its right-side landing gear failed to lower during an emergency landing early Wednesday in Lithuania. Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier asked that all of its Q-400 turboprop planes with at least 10,000 flights be grounded immediately after a Scandinavian Airlines aircraft skidded off a runway with 52 people aboard Wednesday, the second such incident in three days. |
| Bombardier orders turboprops grounded 11.09.2007/23:36 GMT Lithuania/Vilnius A plane belonging to the multi-national airline Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) crashed Wednesday morning on the Vilnius airport in Lithuania during an emergency landing, but no casualties were reported. The 48 passengers and four crew members escaped without injuries after the plane skidded off the runway. Preliminary investigations revealed that a landing gear failure led to this incident. The de Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 plane (reg. LN-RDS) left Copenhagen en route to Palanga, but the pilots observed a problem and decided to land in Vilnius. After this incident, SAS decided to ground all Dash 8-400s from its fleet (33). This is the second accident occurring in less than four days due to the same landing gear problem. |
| Втори инцидент за период от няколко дни с пасажерски самолет на Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) 11.09.2007/ 23:36 по Гринуич Литва / Вилнюс Пътнически самолет de Havilland Canada DHC-8-402 Q400 (рег. № LN-RDS) на авиокомпания SAS се приземи инцидентно във Вилнюс заради проблеми с десния колесник. На борда е имало 52 души, от които 4 души екипаж. За щастие няма пострадали. При кацането самолетът е напуснал очертанията на полосата и спрял върху затревената площ. Самолетът изпълнявал полет SK2748 от Копенхаген за Паланга, Литва. По време на полета екипажът забелязал техническия проблем с колесника и решил да кацне във Вилнюс, вероятно заради по-доброто осигуряване при извънредни ситуации. На 09.09. т. г. самолет на SAS от същият тип претърпя точно такъв инцидент, при който имаше ранени пасажери въпреки предварителната подготовка за принудителното приземяване. По препоръка на канадската фирма производител почти всички авиокомпании спряха от полет самолетите си от този тип за извършване на допълнителни технически проверки по изправността им. |

| Огнен ад в Пукет, 89 жертви в авиокатастрофата 16.09.2007//08:40 GMT Тайланд/Пукет Машината пламва при кацане, няма българи, твърди Външно Пукет. Жестока самолетна катастрофа погуби 89 души на тайландския остров Пукет, съобщи Ройтерс. Машината се разби при кацане на летището на остров Пукет. Най-вероятната причина за катастрофата е силен дъжд, лоша видимост и мокра писта.. Няма информация за пострадали българи към момента. Катастрофиралият самолет е собственост на тайландската нискобюджетна компания "12Go Airlines". Той е летял от столицата Банкок до остров Пукет със 123 пътници и 7 души екипаж, изпълнявайки полет OG/OX-269. В него са пътували десетки туристи от чужбина.. Загиналите по последни данни са 89, а 41 души са пострадалите, като 5 от тях са в критично състояние. Въпреки лошото време пилотите решили да приземят машината. При кацането самолетът излязъл от пистата, врязал се в околните дървета, разцепил се на две части и се запалил. Според авиационните власти на Тайланд, пилотите на самолета МД-82 (рег. № HS-OMG) са решили да направят втори кръг около пистата, преди да кацнат, но машината е загубила равновесие и се е разбила. |

TV images showed 132 military-style black bags containing around 3.3 tonnes of cocaine lined up in rows next to chunks of the wrecked plane, which came down near the municipality of Tixkokob, a three-hour drive west of the Cancun beach resort. Mexican army planes had been tracking the aircraft since it was spotted entering Mexican air space. Drug planes packed with South American cocaine – often with passenger seats ripped out to make space – frequently fly through Mexico and Central America en route for the United States. Some unload their cargo at clandestine airstrips south of the border where traffickers send it on by road or sea. |

Third emergency landing for Bombardier aircraft A turboprop aircraft belonging to German regional carrier Augsburg Airways made an emergency landing in Munich after its nose landing gear failed to extend. No one was injured in the landing of the Dash 8 Q400 turboprop - a Bombardier-made plane - on Friday evening. Landing gear problems in Q400 models preceded the crash of an SAS plane on landing in Denmark on September 9 and a similar incident, with the same type of plane, in Lithuania three days later. Those accidents involved different parts from Friday's incident. The Augsburg Airways plane was flying from Munich to Florence, Italy, when the crew discovered that the nose landing gear would not extend. The pilot decided to return to Munich and make an emergency landing. All 64 passengers and four crew members were uninjured and able to leave the aircraft by the normal exits. 22.09.2007*/US/Tenn./McMinn County/Athens, an experimental plane (Klob MKІІ) crash kills the pilot. */US/Ky/Ohio River near Worthington, a small plane crashed into the Ohio River and submerged killing the pilot. */US/Ca/Long Beach, a small plane crash-landed at the airport.
