Passenger plane crashes in Kyrgyzstan-agencies
MOSCOW, Aug 24 (Reuters) - A passenger plane crashed at the airport of Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek with around 100 people on board, Russian news agencies reported on Sunday.

RIA news agency, which quoted the press service of the U.S. airbase in Bishkek, said the plane crashed on take-off but gave no further details.

The Interfax news agency said the Boeing-737 belonged to a private Kyrgyz company Itek-Air and was bound for Iran. It quoted an airport source as saying 100 people were on board. (Writing by Oleg Shchedrov; editing by Jon Boyle)

Plane Crashes After Takeoff in Utah, Killing 10
MOAB, Utah (AP) — A twin-engine plane crashed and burned near an airport not far from Arches National Park in southeastern Utah, killing all 10 people on board, an official said Saturday.
The plane was engulfed in flames when emergency responders arrived at the scene late Friday, said Sheriff James Nyland of Grand County.

The plane, a Beech King Air A-100, had taken off from the Canyonlands Field airport, about 18 miles northwest of Moab.

Lt. Steve White told KCYN radio that the plane had “pancaked” and skidded along the ground.

Sheriff Nyland said the victims included the pilot, David White, and Dr. Lansing Ellsworth, the director of Red Canyon Aesthetics and Medical Spa. The company is based in Cedar City and has dermatology clinics in Arizona, Nevada and Utah. The remaining victims were employees of the company, Sheriff Nyland said.

They were identified as Dallon Ellsworth, Cecilee Goddard, David Goddard, Valerie Imlay, Mandy Johnson, Keith Shumway, Marcie Tillery and Camie Vigil.

Mechanic queried over Spain air crash

Investigators trying to find the cause for the plane crash in Madrid have questioned the mechanic who cleared the plane for takeoff.

After seeing to a faulty air temperature gauge, the mechanic gave his consent for takeoff. An unnamed Spain Air official said however that the mechanical problem was not the cause of the deadly accident which claimed the lives of 153 people onboard.

The mechanic turned off the non-critical piece of equipment -- an acceptable standard procedure for a fault of this nature, Spain Air said.

The MD-82 took off one hour later, carrying 172 passengers. It crashed and disintegrated in flames near the end of the runway.

When questioned by police and investigators, the mechanic stressed the minor nature of the mechanical fault, insisting it was not the cause of Wednesday's accident. Aviation experts have backed up this claim.

Of the 19 survivors hospitalized, two of them are in critical condition. Fifty of those who perished have been identified using DNA.

The head of Spanish civil aviation, Manuel Bautista, told AP on Friday that the gauge should be carefully examined before it is ruled out as a contributing factor in the accident, which was most likely the result of a combination of problems.

"A problem with a temperature sensor may not matter at all, or it can be very important, depending on what other circumstances accompany it," Bautista said.

According to the relatives of victims, passengers tried to contact their loved ones via cell phone messages. Moments before the accident they said they were trying to escape from the plane but were not allowed to evacuate. Spain Air has not commented about these statements.

Float plane goes down north of Bancroft, but no injuries reported

By Luke Hendry
The Intelligencer

Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson and three others are "really lucky" to have survived a float-plane crash north of Bancroft Sunday, officials say.
Robertson's plane went down in the woods north of Bancroft early Sunday afternoon.
"Everyone is fine and that is the important thing," said Adam Smith, a spokesman for the band, said Sunday night in an e-mail to The Intelligencer. "That's all the comment we have at this time."

Sgt. Jeff MacKinnon of Bancroft OPP said the crash happened near Baptiste Lake, about 10 minutes north of Bancroft and one of the North Hastings district's most popular cottage areas.
"At 12:30 p.m. a Cessna 206 was taking off from Baptiste Lake, lost airspeed and entered a wooded area west of the lake," Sgt. Jeff MacKinnon of Bancroft OPP said in a telephone interview.
He said the plane was totaled but all four adults managed to walk out of the woods and soon reported the crash.
"They got out and then called it in," said MacKinnon.

MacKinnon said police aren't releasing any further details, including the names of the plane's occupants, because the investigation is now being headed by Canada's Transportation Safety Board.
Sources in the area, however, said Robertson was piloting his own plane.
"They're all really lucky to get out of there. I think there was somebody on their side," said Brian Sears, deputy fire chief for Herschel Ward of the Municipality of Hastings Highlands.
"They could smell the fuel, so they didn't waste any time getting out of it."

He said the crash happened about a kilometre from the nearest road, with the plane breaking trees on its way to the ground.
"He'd clipped one a bit farther back from there (the crash site). It hit some more maples, and the maples just leaned down and uprooted, and from the looks of it cushioned it from any real heavy blow," said Sears.
"She's on her nose up against the trees. One pontoon is split right back underneath it.
"I've left some guys there because there was quite a bit of fuel leaking," he said. "We plugged it up as much as we could."

Sears said Robertson appeared to be doing well, and visited the site at least once after the forced landing.
"He came over and brought some water and pop over for the guys," said Sears.

Robertson doubles as host of the Ed's Up television show on Outdoor Life Network Canada. He's a well-known, well-liked cottager in the area.
Nearby resident Gord Peel, who said he has known Robertson for about 10 years, said he arrived on the scene about 20 minutes after the crash. Peel said the passengers were Robertson's wife, Natalie, and their friends Julie and Jeff Jones.
"There was some gusting wind up here today," Peel told The Intelligencer. "He got up, and he got into a stall."

Following the stall, he said, Robertson managed to "set the plane straight down into the trees. It hung up into a large tree, nose down, and its nose is resting on the ground.
"The doors were jammed; they couldn't get out. They had to get out through a window. They didn't even have a scratch. They were just more in shock than anything."
He said he found the four friends walking on a road, somewhat shaken but unharmed.

Belleville's Shirley and Willard Wasson were surprised to receive a phone call from Peel Sunday.
Shirley Wasson said their acquaintance called at around 1:30 p.m. to report the plane had crashed on the Wassons' 80-acre property.

Her husband said he'd been told the plane could not be removed until authorities had investigated the crash.
Transportation Safety Board staff, meanwhile, had not returned phone calls by press time Sunday.
Deborah Baxter is a spokeswoman for Transport Canada, which also investigates aviation incidents.
"We have not received a report on this accident, so if it was a private plane and nobody was hurt … we may not get a report until later," Baxter said Sunday evening.

Ryanair flight from Bristol to Spain forced to make emergency landing

Sixteen passengers were taken to hospital suffering ear problems after the pilot was forced to lose altitude rapidly en route from Bristol to Barcelona Girona.

Passengers said they feared their lives were in danger as oxygen masks dropped as the aircraft plummeted and was diverted to Limoges International Airport in France as a "safety precaution" during the Monday evening flight.

Pen Hadow, the arctic explorer, his wife, Mary, and their son and daughter were among those on the flight.

Mr Hadow, who became the first man to walk solo from Canada to the North Pole in 2003, said many of the passengers appeared to be in shock.

He said: "I would say some people thought we were going to die - that is how frightening it was."

Mr Hadow said he heard a "loud and unnerving sound" as the cabin pressure dropped.

"I knew it wasn't an engine problem," he said. "There was a sudden drop in temperature and a rush of cold air. You think to yourself: God, is there a hole in the aircraft? It actually felt like someone had opened a door at the back of the aircraft. It was incredibly cold.

"The next thing the oxygen masks were dropping. My highest priority was to get a mask onto my son who was sitting next to me in a bemused and frightened state."

Mr Hadow, whose son was taken to hospital after the incident, said a number of oxygen masks inside the cabin had failed to inflate.

"Mine wasn't filling up with oxygen and neither was my son's," he said. "He was hyperventilating. I looked at the lady on my left and her's hadn't filled up either. From where I was sitting I could see about 20 masks and only a few of them were inflating. It was extremely variable as to who got oxygen in their masks."

A Ryanair spokesman said: "Ryanair confirms that the FR9336 from Bristol airport to Barcelona Girona airport on the evening of August 25 experienced an inflight depressurisation incident which caused the oxygen masks on board to deploy.

"As a safety precaution the captain descended and diverted the aircraft to Limoges Airport at approximately 23.30 local French time.

"All 168 passengers disembarked safely upon landing. A total of 16 passengers together with five accompanying family members have transferred, at their request, to a local hospital complaining of ear ache."

Ryanair said another aircraft would take passengers on to Spain on Tuesday morning.

Plane makes safe emergency landing

A plane made an emergency landing in a paddock just south of Rotorua this morning.

The plane was on a 10am scenic flight from Rotorua to Mt Ruapehu when it sent out a mayday call. Seven people were on board.

Rescue Co-ordination Centre spokesman Ross Henderson said the plane landed safely. No details of the plane's problem were available.

The Civil Aviation Authority and the Transport Accident Investigation Commission will be following up on the incident.
 
The other night I had a dream where I was in this house with some people and suddenly we felt the entire house shake accompanied by a large explosion. When I ran outside to see what happened I saw a dual engine plane whose left wing was on fire which appeared to have been hit by something and was losing control amidst low level clouds. It then crashed into a nearby neighborhood followed by an explosion with a lot of fire and very dark smoke. I remember seeing people in what appeared to be military uniforms following the explosion as well as a very frightened woman with dark hair and a dark complexion. The frightened woman ran up to me and threw her arms around me and held on to me very tightly. I then flew up into the air for some reason and into a nearby body of water. While underwater I turned my head to look at her and after a few seconds she suddenly let out the most frightening "hellish scream" I've ever heard (which sorta scared the hell out of me!) and then she immediately disappeared. So today, after having this dream, I decided to see if there had been crashes recently and much to my surprise there have been: (The first one, I think, is interesting in light of my dream)

The first two articles pertain to the same event but, as a whole, they provide a little more details surrounding the event.
Ecuador army plane hits buildings, six dead
Military plane crashes into Quito building said:

Fri, Mar 20, 2009
AFP

QUITO, March 19, 2009 (AFP) - An Ecuadoran military plane on a training exercise crashed into an apartment building in northern Quito Thursday, killing its three crewmembers as well as three civilians on the ground, authorities said.

The crash of the Beechcraft propeller plane killed a major, a captain and a sergeant, as well as a woman who lived in the building and two other people "whose bodies were recovered inside" the residential complex, city counselor Gonzalo Ortiz said.

Two people were injured in the crash, which set the five-story building ablaze and prompted a major search and rescue operation by firefighters, who took more than an hour to extinguish the inferno.

Defense Minister Javier Ponce confirmed the three military dead as well as the woman, while civil authorities confirmed the other two deaths.

The plane crashed at about 5:20 pm (2220 GMT) near a luxury hotel in Quito as it approached the capital city's airport, Red Cross spokesman Johnny Franco told AFP.

Ponce described the accident as "regrettable."

"The plane had been in very good condition and was making a training flight," he said.

A thick cloud of dark smoke from the fire rose over the city, parts of which had been enshrouded in fog at the time of the crash.

The area has been the scene of at least four plane mishaps in recent years, including in 1992 when a military plane slammed into a building, killing the then-commander of the army Carlomagno Andrade.

That same year, a similar accident killed Ecuador's tourism minister, Pedro Zambrano.

An image of a plane of the type that crashed which looks strikingly similar to the one I saw in my dream:



[Edit:Okay this is sorta freaky but I decided to see who the woman was that died and her name is Elena Reascos and she happens to be on Facebook. Her account can be found [url=http://es-la.facebook.com/people/Elena-Reascos/586017308]here
. What is strange is that she looks almost exactly like the woman in my dream! Any idea why she would come to me and why I did what I did (assuming the dream actually has a basis in reality)? Here's a picture that I think is her from Facebook:

Is this some sort of signal or is it just me?
 
I had a dream of a plane crash on the same night you describe. In the dream, I was trailing behind the plane. It felt like I was either in another plane or "flying". In any case, I watched the plane approach the ground as if starting to land, but then it veered off suddenly in crashed into the ground. For some reason I felt that some of my family, my uncle in particular, was flying the plane and was now dead. It was kind of a strange dream. I thought that the dream may have had more of a personal meaning to it, but seeing as how these plane crashes are becoming more common, maybe it is a "sign" of sorts? Hard to say.

That it interesting about the lady on Facebook. It's not often I remember enough of my dreams to equate a dream face to a real face. Most faces that I see in dreams of strangers seem too surreal and difficult to discern any exact features, unless it is of somebody I know. But then I think my brain is probably just filling in the facial feature details based on my own image of the person.

It's very possible that I just filled in the details of the woman's face in my dream after seeing the picture, but one thing I do remember for sure is that the woman in my dream had a body type that was very similar to the lady pictured on Facebook. I can't remember the exact features of the upper half of her face but I do recall the lower half of her face very well. The lower half of her face was very similar to the lower half as seen in the photograph from Facebook (I never really looked into her eyes so my memories of them are mainly peripheral.). One thing I didn't mention was that the lady in the dream was nude when she came up and held onto me. She didn't say anything to me nor did I say anything to her, she just held onto me and I then flew in the air and into a nearby body water (at the time I felt I was helping her (or myself) escape from something that was out to get her/us). It was then while underwater that she experienced something frightening and disappeared (in the way an image on a computer is perceived to disappear whilst being deleted).
 
This is sort of strange. I found out the name of another woman that died from the crash that day in Quito and her name is Leila Oquendo. I did a search on the net of her name and someone with that name was/is a member of a yahoo group called "mewpokechate". In it Leila had posted what it appeared to be a non-sensical message about the population of people "of this paradiasical" and she stated something about a plane crash, military people and the door being sealed? She also said something about a "Gentlemen stranger" and a portal of some kind? It didn't really make any sense. I then decided to piece together the entire thread of messages to get a better idea of what was being said. While I was trying to piece it together access to the group/messages suddenly became unavailable. I thought I'd share this weird coincidence with you all because it doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it was just a coincidence and nothing more. The following is the only part of her message that have access to now: Re: my unshake "go-but none return. They go in tens and twenties-but none is ever seen Does it? I asked. How big is the population of this..." ????? Just weird weird weird.

[Note: Leila Oquendo was an economist by profession who worked on behalf of the United Nations in Ecuador.]
