North Dakota state senator, his wife and 2 kids killed in Utah plane crash
North Dakota state senator, his wife and 2 kids killed in Utah plane crash
A state senator from North Dakota, his wife and their two young children died when the small plane they were traveling in crashed soon after a refuelling stop in Utah, a Senate leader said Monday.
A miracle in Japan, with no fatalities recorded, as two Jets collided at Tokyo's Haneda airport.
First came the shock as the Airbus A350 carrying 379 people collided with a second plane while landing in Tokyo.
Then came heat and smoke as the jet sped along the runway in flames.
Then survival instinct kicked in, as people scrambled to flee a cabin filling with fumes, knowing that lives depended on the next few seconds.
That all on Japan Airlines flight 516 escaped is extraordinary. Experts say a flawless evacuation and new technology played a large part in their survival.
Those on board the second plane, a smaller coastguard aircraft due to deliver aid to quake victims, were not as fortunate. Five were killed and the pilot is seriously injured.
Investigators are piecing together what happened at 17:47 local time (08:47 GMT) at Haneda airport, and why two planes could have been on the runway at the same time.
For now, videos and statements from passengers paint a picture of a few minutes of terror, then disbelief at what they had lived through.
Swede Anton Deibe, 17, a passenger, described the chaos after impact as the Airbus A350 lumbered to a halt on the runway.
"The entire cabin was filled with smoke within minutes," he told the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
"The smoke in the cabin stung like hell. It was a hell.
"We threw ourselves down on the floor. Then the emergency doors were opened and we threw ourselves at them.
"We had no idea where we were going so we just run out into the field. It was chaos."
He, his parents and his sister managed to escape the wreckage unharmed.
Smoke fills the cabin as passengers prepare to flee
Satoshi Yamake, a 59-year-old passenger, said he felt the airplane had "tilted to the side and felt a big bump" in the initial collision.
Another unnamed passenger described a "bump, like the aircraft was colliding with something when touching down. I saw a spark outside the window and the cabin was filled with smoke".
A third reported to Kyodo News he felt "a boom like we had hit something and jerked upward the moment we landed".
Snippets of those moments were caught on phones.
Some passengers filmed the red glow from a still sparking engine as the plane came to a halt. Another took footage inside, a miasma of smoke quickly obscuring the camera lens as passengers shouted and cabin crew tried to direct their next moves.
A female passenger said it had been dark on board as the fire intensified after landing.
"It was getting hot inside the plane, and I thought, to be honest, I wouldn't survive," she told the Japanese broadcaster NHK.
According to another passenger, the escape plan was made more difficult as only one set of doors were used. "An announcement said doors in the back and middle could not be opened. So everyone disembarked from the front," he said.
Images and video show the moment people began to jump down the airliner's inflatable slides - some tumbling in their effort to get away from a now burning cabin, and running to greater safety.
No one appears to be holding their bulky carry-on luggage - a major factor in how quickly a cabin can be cleared.
Alex Macheras, an aviation analyst, told the BBC that the crew "were able to initiate a textbook evacuation" in the crucial first few minutes after impact.
The fire was "isolated to one area" of the Airbus A350 for the initial 90 seconds, allowing them a brief window to get everyone out.
He said the crew were clearly able to understand which doors were away from the flames, which is why pictures show not all the exits were opened for people to escape through.
He added that passengers can slow things down in panic - for example by trying to grab their bags from lockers.
The Airbus A350 is meanwhile one of the first commercial jets to be made of composite, carbon-fibre materials - which appear to have stood up well to the initial collision and the resulting fire.
All of this was achieved as the fire was quickly spreading to engulf the plane. Video footage showed firefighters battling to contain the blaze, as the plane's fuselage began to break in two.
Mr Yamake, the passenger, said for all of the chaos, it took about five minutes for everyone to get out. "I saw that the fire had spread in about 10, 15 minutes," he added.
Tsubasa Sawada, 28, said he could "only say it was a miracle, we could have died".
It took several hours for the fire to finally be extinguished. Fourteen passengers and crew were treated for minor injuries.
Passengers were already trying to come to terms with that they had just lived through, telling their friends and loved ones that they were okay, and preparing for what was to come.
Mr Sawada had one question. "I want to know why this happened," he said, adding that he did not plan to get on another plane until he got the answer.

Update on my error as this incident suffered five Coast Guard fatalities.
Five of the six crew members aboard a Japan Coast Guard aircraft that collided with a passenger plane at Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Tuesday were confirmed dead. Meanwhile, the captain who managed to escape was severely injured, public broadcaster NHK reported.
The Japan Coast Guard said the collision involved one of its planes that was headed to Niigata Airport on Japan's west coast to deliver aid to those caught up in a powerful earthquake that struck on New Year's Day, killing at least 48 people.
Live footage on public broadcaster NHK showed the Japan Airline (JAL) Airbus A350 aircraft bursting into flames as it skidded down the tarmac at around 6 p.m.
All 367 passengers and 12 crew members aboard the JAL flight escaped from the airplane while it was on fire without life-threatening injuries.
A spokesperson at JAL said its aircraft had departed from Shin-Chitose Airport on the mountainous northern island of Hokkaido. The collision occurred shortly after landing.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida instructed the relevant agencies to coordinate to assess the damage swiftly and provide information to the public, according to his office.
Haneda, one of Tokyo's two main airports, has closed all runways following the incident, a spokesperson said.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism said it was probing the incident, Kyodo added.
Japan has not suffered a serious commercial aviation accident in decades.
Its worst ever was in 1985, when a JAL jumbo jet flying from Tokyo to Osaka crashed in the central Gunma region, killing 520 passengers and crew.
That disaster was one of the world's deadliest plane crashes involving a single flight.

Jan. 4, 2024 | By Chris Gordon
A B-1B bomber crashed as it was attempting to land at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., on Jan. 4.
All four crew members ejected safely from the aircraft and survived, Ellsworth Air Force Base said in a statement.
The incident occurred during poor weather in below-freezing temperatures with dense fog limiting visibility, according to local weather reports. Radio traffic from local first responders said there was an “active fire” after an “explosion.”
“An Air Force B-1B Lancer assigned to Ellsworth Air Force Base crashed at approximately 5:50 p.m. today while attempting to land on the installation,” the base said. “At the time of the accident, it was on a training mission.”
A spokesperson for the base told Air & Space Forces Magazine they could not provide further details on the incident.
The airbase has been closed to flight operations, according to a Notice to Airmen/Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) advisory issued soon after the incident.
Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Ellsworth Air Force Base is near Rapid City. It is one of only two B-1 bases. The 28th Bomb Wing, which is located there, operates over 20 B-1s, according to the base. The Air Force has 45 B-1s in its inventory.
A typical B-1 crew consists of two pilots and two weapons systems officers, all with ejection seats.
The aircraft was initially designed to operate as a supersonic, nuclear-capable bomber with variable swept wings. But the fleet has been used hard over the last two decades in the Middle East after being converted to a purely conventional bomber. The aircraft is known to have a poor mission-capable rate.
Ellsworth is slated to receive the first operational B-21 Raider stealth bombers, which are scheduled to fully replace the B-1.
“A board of officers will investigate the accident,” Ellsworth’s statement said.

#BREAKING: Alaska Airlines Forced to Make an Emergency Landing After Large Aircraft Window Blows Out Mid-Air
#Portland | #Oregon
A Forced emergency landing was made of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 at Portland International Airport on Friday night. The flight, traveling from Portland to Ontario, California, faced severe depressurization, causing the ejection of a large window section and an unoccupied seat. This incident resulted in a child's shirt being ripped off. The Boeing 737-900/-9MAX aircraft reached a maximum altitude of 16,300 ft before safely returning to Portland International Airport. As of now, it remains unclear if anyone on board the flight was injured, as this story is still developing.
The rear mid-cabin exit door assembly separated from an Alaska Airlines 737-9 MAX minutes after take off from Portland on 5 January. The aircraft, registration N704AL, departed Portland (PDX) bound for Ontario, CA (ONT) at 17:06 local time (01:06 UTC +1). The aircraft reached a maximum altitude of 16,325 feet AMSL. It diverted safely back to Portland, landing at 17:26, reaching the gate at 17:30. The flight was carrying 174 passengers and six crew.
- Take off: 01:06:59
- Climb through 10,000 feet AMSL: 01:10:29
- Maximum altitude (16,325 ft AMSL): 01:13:41
- Descent below 10,000 ft AMSL: 01:17:02
- Touchdown: 01:26:28
- Gate arrival: 01:30:04
The rear mid-cabin exit door
On the 737-9 MAX, Boeing includes a rear cabin exit door aft of the wings, but before the rear exit door. This is activated in dense seating configurations to meet evacuation requirements. The doors are not activated on Alaska Airlines aircraft and are permanently “plugged.” The door position in question is highlighted below inside the red circle.737-9 MAX N704AL Aircraft information
N704AL (MSN 67501) was delivered to Alaska new from Boeing on 31 October 2023. It entered commercial service on 11 November 2023 and has accumulated 145 flights since then (including the incident flight).AS1282 was the aircraft’s third flight of the day and second take off. It had flown from San Diego to New York overnight and then on to Portland earlier in the day.
On this episode of AvTalk, Ian and Jason are joined by Nomadic Aviation Group’s Steve Giordano to discuss the Alaska Airlines flight 1282 accident. We break down what we know so far about the explosive departure from the aircraft of the mid-cabin exit door plug, how the 737-9 MAX fleet has been affected, and we close with a discussion about where Boeing goes from here.

New details on plane that crashed near Half Moon Bay
Updated: Jan 15, 2024 / 05:10 PM PST
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (KRON) — A body was found in the water Monday morning in the same area where a small plane crashed near Half Moon Bay Sunday night, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said. There were two people on board the plane, which was a single-engine Cozy Mark IV, the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed Monday.
The plane was seen flying “erratically” near Moss Beach prior to the crash, according to the sheriff’s office. Debris consistent with parts from a plane was found in the ocean near the coastline later on Sunday evening.
On Monday morning, while a multi-agency search was being conducted for possible survivors, a dead woman was spotted in the water by a commercial fishing boat. The woman’s body was brought to shore and taken to the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office.
The identity of the woman is still being determined. Officials say it is likely she is associated with the plane crash, given she was found in the same general area.
Earlier on Monday, the United States Coast Guard announced it had suspended the search for possible survivors.
“It’s never easy to make the decision to suspend search efforts, and our deepest sympathies go out to the families involved in this incident,” said Ian McGoohan, operations unit controller at the Coast Guard Sector San Francisco Command Center. “We are truly grateful for the efforts of our partners assisting in search efforts.”
The crash happened around 7:04 p.m. near Moss Beach Distillery. Prior to crashing, the plane took off from Hayward Executive Airport and flew over San Francisco.
Data from the tracking website FlightAware shows that the plane landed at Half Moon Bay Airport at 5:04 p.m. after taking off from Hayward at 4:29 p.m. According to NTSB investigators, the aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Half Moon Bay Airport.
The aircraft was first located upside down on its head, San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Philip Hallworth said. The plane’s ownership is registered to Winged Wallabies, Inc., which operates out of an Oakland address.
The plane involved in the crash was a Cozy Mark IV, which is a home-built, light aircraft that utilizes prefabricated metal parts.
Agencies, including the San Mateo Fire Department, San Mateo Police Department, and a California Highway Patrol Helicopter aircrew, assisted with search efforts.
The plane crash happened a few miles away from the Half Moon Bay Airport at 9850 Cabrillo Hwy. The United States Coast Guard, California Highway Patrol and fire crews responded to the crash on Sunday.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the NTSB are investigating the crash.
