The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office has identified the three people killed Saturday night when a small plane crashed off the coast of the county.
Indian investigators have recovered the digital flight data recorder or the black box of the Air India flight that crashed a day earlier. The crash on Thursday killed 241 people on board and at least five people on the ground. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said that the black box recovery Friday marks an important step forward in the investigation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has met with the lone surviving passenger of the London-bound Boeing 787 that struck a medical college hostel when it crashed into a residential area of the northwestern city of Ahmedabad minutes after takeoff. DNA testing was being conducted to identify the victims. More bodies are expected to be found in the search at the crash site.
Delta plane that flipped over in Toronto last month showed high rate of descent, initial report says
A preliminary report into why a Delta Air Lines jet burst into flames and flipped upside down as it tried to land in Toronto has been released. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada's report issued on Thursday said the aircraft's alert system indicated a high rate of descent less than three seconds before touchdown. The agency is continuing to investigate the Feb. 17 crash-landing in which 21 people were hospitalized. All 76 passengers and four crew members survived when the Delta Air plane arriving from Minneapolis burst into flames after flipping over and skidding on the tarmac. The TSB of Canada report says that when the plane's ground proximity warning system sounded 2.6 seconds before touchdown, the airspeed was 136 knots, or approximately 250 kilometers per hour.
A small aircraft has crashed on an avenue in Sao Paulo, killing the pilot and the plane's owner. The two were the only people on board. The plane went down in the Barra Funda neighborhood one the city's west side, near its downtown, shortly after taking off on Friday morning from a nearby private airport. A piece of the plane hit a bus, injuring one woman inside, while a motorcyclist was struck by another piece of wreckage. Both were receiving medical care. Four additional people had minor injuries. Images on local media showed the plane's fuselage and the bus on fire, with firefighters working to extinguish the blaze.
The remains of all 67 victims of midair collision near Reagan National Airport have been recovered. Officials said Tuesday that the chief medical examiner is still trying to positively identify one set of remains, officials said in a news release. The news came as crews continued to work to removed debris from the Potomac River, where the aircraft crashed last Wednesday night after colliding as the American Airlines flight was about to land at nearby Ronald Reagan National Airport. Sixty passengers and four crew were on the American Airlines flight, including figure skaters returning from the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita.
Salvage crews have removed a large portion of a commercial jet from the Potomac River near Washington's Reagan National Airport after a midair collision last week that killed 67 people. Authorities have said the operation to remove the plane will take several days and they will then work to remove the military helicopter involved in the crash. The crash between the American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter over Washington, D.C. on Wednesday was the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001. More than 300 responders are taking part in the recovery effort at any given time. Two Navy barges are deployed to lift heavy wreckage.
A Brazilian airliner says one of its passenger plane with 61 people aboard has crashed into a gated residential community in Brazil's Sao Paulo state Friday, killing all who were aboard. The airline earlier had reported that 62 people were aboard the flight that crashed in Vinhedo, about 80 kilometers northwest of Sao Paulo, but later updated the number to 61. "The company regrets to inform that all 61 people on board flight 2283 died at the site," VOEPASS said in a statement. "At this time, VOEPASS is prioritizing provision of unrestricted assistance to the victims' families and effectively collaborating with authorities to determine the causes of the accident."
