All Flights In Belgium Are Cancelled On Thursday Due To A National Strike. Is This Really Necessary?
Air traffic controllers in Belgium are set to join a national strike against the new government on Thursday, due to proposed budget cuts. The walkout, scheduled from 06:45 - 22:15 local time, will ground all flights at the following airports: Brussels (BRU), Charleroi (CRL) Antwerp (ANR), Ostend (OST), and Liège. (LGG)
This is not just a major disruption for Belgium, but for European aviation in general, since Brussels is the headquarters of the European Union, and several airlines have hubs in the country. It's unclear yet what the economic cost of this shutdown will be on the economy, and how many European travelers will be impacted, but it could be severe.

ATC staff will join baggage handlers and security in walking out in protest on the 13th. What do you think of the national strike. Does this method of negotiation solve anything?

Gol said in a statement that the plane collided with a "vehicle of the administrator of RIOgaleão Airport, which was on the runway during the takeoff procedure".

"Takeoff was stopped and all passengers and crew disembarked safely. An extra flight to Fortaleza was made available for those who chose to continue their journey. Those who decided to remain in Rio de Janeiro received all assistance for accommodation, transportation and food."

Not a plane this time.

Interesting take on the collision of, he mentions that that would be the moment in which US Navy's USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier (CVN 75) collided with commercial shipping vessel called the Besiktas-M. He also mentions that the US vessel do not have on the Automatic Identification System (AIS), the tracking system used on ships and by vessel traffic services to identify and locate vessels, and that's why is not shown in the Marine Traffic app

Here, mentions that US Gov vessel pop up -probably escorting US Navy's USS Harry S. Truman away after the colition.

Flight UJ681 of AlMasria Airlines was flying from Sharm el-Sheikh (SSH) to Kaliningrad (KGD). At night, it was unable to land at Khrabrovo Airport due to heavy snowfall.

The crew requested an emergency landing in Poland.

Post arrival, Poland did not allow the plane to take off for over ten hours, not giving passengers anything to eat or drink, and not letting them use the toilet.

Russian media also published that there were 236 passengers on board, including pregnant women and children.

As per latest information available with us, the aircraft departed Poznan (POZ), and has landed at Kaliningrad (KGD) 11.44AM local time.

In a repeat of the similar incident, a Cessna 340A (HK-4967) aircraft suffered main landing gear collapse on the Runway at Villavicencio Vanguardia Airport, (VVC) few hours ago.

The aircraft also faced similar situation on 7 October 2023, when a main landing gear collapsed upon landing and veered off the runway at Olaya Herrera Airport (SKMD), Medellín.

The aircraft that was blocking the runway at Villavicencio's Vanguardia Airport has been removed and the operations at the air terminal have been reactivated.

Dirección Técnica de Investigación de Accidentes is investigating the incident of an aircraft at the Vanguardia airport in Villavicencio which had a sudden retraction of the right main landing gear, there are no injuries.

Wreckage of missing plane found in Florida woods
Updated: Feb 16, 2025 / 06:01 AM EST snip
BUNNELL, Fla. (WFLA) — A plane that had gone missing Friday night was found early Saturday morning in a remote, wooded area in north Florida.

Just after midnight, the Flager County Sheriff’s Office issued a notice that deputies were searching for an aircraft that went down after losing contact with the Palatka Municipal Airport around 7 p.m., located roughly 50 miles northeast of Ocala.

The 2012 Cessna 208 Caravan plane lost contact while roughly 900 feet up in the air and was “descending rapidly.” The pilot was on their way to the airport in Palatka, flying the plane deputies believe to have been used next week for skydivers.

Sheriff Rick Staly with FCSO said it appears the small plane plummeted straight down and crashed. He added that it is likely the private plane’s solo passenger, the pilot, did not survive. Their identity remains unknown at this time.
 
This is the only photo I’ve seen so far. Regional carrier flown by Endeavor Airlines for Delta Airlines. Looks survivable. All crew and passengers accounted for. Looks tricky to deplane tho. I worked on these CRJ 900 aircraft.

Delta flight originating from the US crashes at Toronto airport, flipping on its back. Looks like no casualties.

We have to wait for the interviews with the pilots and the black box, but listening to some of the reports here, it's suspected that as they were landing and slowing down, may have been hit by a crosswind that caused it to flip over and tore off the wings.
 
Actually, here's a peculiar quote from this article. He's implying that the plane landed with one wing already missing and THEN flipped over. A crosswind alone wasn't the cause, especially with wind gusts being about 65km.

Cox, who flew for U.S. Air for 25 years and has worked on National Transportation Safety Board investigations, said the CRJ-900 aircraft is a proven aircraft that’s been in service for decades and does a good job of handling inclement weather.

“So it was windy. But the airplanes are designed and certified to handle that," Cox said. "The pilots are trained and experienced to handle that."

Among the questions that need to be answered, Cox said, was why the plane was missing a right wing.

“If one wing is missing, it’s going to have a tendency to roll over,” he said. “Those are going to be central questions as to what happened to the wing and the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder. They will be found, if not today, tomorrow, and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada will read them out and they will have a very good understanding of what actually occurred here.”

That's a heck of a crosswind!

Made me think of this:

Laura said:
(Mrs. Peel) Since [forum member] isn't here to ask, and if appropriate, what happened when his son's car flipped over? He described the accident on the forum as very strange.

A: All should be aware and cautious as these energies can develop like mini-tornadoes due to differential between the individual and the environment.

Q: (L) So if you're going along through an environment that, at that moment, for example, is very thick with certain energies, maybe because of, you know, the planet or because it's being beamed or because of surrounding people and whatever, and your energy is so different, it can be like the differential between hot and cold air that creates storms. Is that it?

A: Yes

Q: (Andromeda) Or lightning.

The crash happened at 2:15pm. The wind for Toronto was clocked at 47 km/h at 12:00pm and 36 km/h at 6 pm. Toronto was also digging out of a 25 cm dump of snow this weekend with a total of 40-70 cm the past week.

They're saying they had not seen this much snow since 2022. The weather may have played a factor but to flip a plane upside down? I guess it's possible since (and I know this example has problems) Nascar and especially Formula One cars are known to do something called a 'front blowover'. As soon as the cars turn sideways, they flip.

Still, something that's a bit odd was in this CTV report (with extensive timeline) that was published at 2:51 pm (36 minutes after the crash). They play a very short clip (@3:30) of audio from air traffic control that was posted online. The flight was cleared to land and then 7 seconds later the plane crash was reported. I don't know where this clip was posted, but it sure made its way online quick. And to land 7 seconds after being cleared to land? Kinda quick?

7:39 p.m.​

Data from Environment Canada reveals the airport was experiencing strong winds and blowing snow at the time of the crash, gusting from 51 to 65 kilometres per hour.

Audio recording from the tower at Toronto Pearson, reviewed by The Associated Press, reveals the Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR was cleared to land at 2:10 p.m. The tower had warned pilots of a possible air flow bump in the glide path as the plane started landing due to the preceding aircraft in front of it.
