| Terrifying Ditching in Ocean after Cessna Engine Failure VIDEO |
On December 11, 2013, about 1522 Hawaiian standard time, a Cessna 208B, N687MA, was destroyed following
a loss of engine power and ditching into the Pacific Ocean near Kalaupapa, Hawaii. One passenger
was fatally injured, the airline transport pilot and two passengers were seriously injured,
and five passengers received minor injuries. The airplane was operated by Makani Kai Air.
The flight departed from the Kalaupapa Airport on the island of Molokai, about 2 minutes prior to the accident,
with an intended destination of the Honolulu International Airport on the island of Oahu.
In a written statement, the pilot reported that shortly after takeoff from runway 05, at an altitude
of about 400 feet above ground level, he began a left turn for a downwind departure.
Shortly after passing 500 feet AGL, the pilot motioned toward the power lever to reduce power for the
climb when he heard a loud bang followed by an immediate loss of engine power. The pilot continued the
turn toward land, verified the fuel valves were on, and observed all engine gauges displaying "zero."
The pilot realized the airplane was not going to make it to land, and rolled the wings level while
broadcasting a mayday distress call. Shortly after, the airplane landed within open ocean water
in a flat or slightly nose up attitude. All the passengers and the pilot exited the airplane through
the rear right door, and the airplane remained on the water surface for approximately 25 minutes before it sank.
One passenger swam to shore, and United States Coast Guard and Maui Fire and Rescue helicopters recovered
the pilot and 7 passengers from the water about 80 minutes after the ditching. A couple of minutes of
standard-definition footage from this video were disseminated immediately following the event, however
this - right here, right now - is the first time that the full-length, full-HD video is being made publicly available.

Haunting CCTV footage shows FINAL moments of fatal Boeing 767 crash
Final moments of the fatal, 6,000ft descent of a doomed Boeing 767 flight in Texas has been released by a local sheriff’s department. The crash killed three people.
Chambers County Sheriff's posted the haunting footage showing the final moments of commercial flight 5Y3591 from Miami to Houston on February 24 which was carrying packages for Amazon at the time, along with three crew.
The aircraft fell thousands of feet in mere seconds after what had been, until that point, a routine approach and descent. The cause of the tragic crash which killed all three on board has yet to be determined.

| How safe is flying today? |
Today Rolls Royce announced 4,600 job cuts due they claim to requiring a major reorganisation.
One of the reasons is that Rolls Royce have been caught up in a corruption scandal losing
£4.6bn in 2016. That has led to problems with its Trent 1000 engines that are wearing out so fast
airlines have been slapped with an FAA restriction on planes flying that limits operations to a maximum
of 140 minutes to the nearest diverted airport. BA and Virgin planes have been warned to stay within an hour of an airport.
Now we hear claims in the gutter rags that flying has never been safer with new modern techniques and
new materials but those claims are in direct contradiction to the evidence now coming out that
the world's biggest supplier of engines have greatly underestimated how quickly those new engines and materials
are wearing out to the point where the FAA have been forced to step in and slap major restrictions on all major carriers
using planes with Trent 1000 engines that are installed on Boeing's 787 - 8/9 Dreamliners. Airbus A380 also has issues
with the Trent 900 engines.
For anyone who has to fly regularly, especially long haul, this is NOT good news when we were told engines have become
so safe that instead of four engines planes now only need two. With our own fairly limited knowledge of aircraft design
this always seemed overestimating the ability of jet engines when flying over thousands of miles of ocean. We wonder
how the regulators have given such clearance when it is now evident from these Trent 1000 failings that two engines
have reduced NOT increased the distance planes can now fly with warnings that they must always fly within the range of
an airport they can get to at short notice.
If Rolls Royce have been caught bribing airlines to take their engines what other sharp practices have they been taking
with their engine designs that are leaving the Trent 1000's parts wearing out years sooner and putting the lives of passengers
at much more risk?
Flying as we are being told is NOT getting safer but increasingly much more dangerous when the reputations of aircraft designers
are seemingly cutting corners to save money and to make more profits for shareholders and before the safety of those designs
and their passengers.

| Skydiver Luke Aikins Jumps 25000 Feet into a Net WITHOUT a Parachute VIDEO
|
Daredevil skydiver Luke Aikins becomes the first person to jump 25,000 feet from a plane WITHOUT a parachute
An American skydiver has become the first to jump 25,000 feet from a plane without a parachute and land in a net.
Luke Aikins, 42, completed the record-breaking stunt dubbed 'Stride Gum Presets Heaven Sent' on Saturday evening
in Simi Valley, California. He hit the 100-by-100-foot net perfectly, quickly climbed out of it and walked over
to hug his wife, who had been watching with other family members including their four-year-old son Logan.
Just before climbing into a plane, Aikins said the Screen Actors Guilt required him to wear a parachute but he
indicated he wouldn't open it. However as the plane was climbing to 25,000 feet above the drop zone he took
off the chute. Aikins said wearing it would actually make it harder for him to properly put himself over the
100-foot-by-100-foot net and more dangerous because he would have its canister on his back when he hit the net
at about 120 miles per hour.
The jump was broadcast live on Fox television as part of a one-hour TV special but with a slight delay and a
warning to viewers not to try this themselves. For the first 10,000 feet of the fall Aikins used an oxygen tank
- one of the three other skydivers who jumped with him was in charge of collecting the discarded tank. Another
one carried a camera and the final one trailed smoke so people on the ground could follow his descent.
The trio opened their chutes at 5,000 feet, leaving Aikins alone.
