Brandstof Russisch ramptoestel was in orde

10:42 am  

RUSLAND/EGYPTE – De kerosine van de Russisch Airbus die zaterdag neerstortte in Egypte, was in orde. Volgens Russische transportonderzoekers was de kwaliteit van de brandstof goed en voldeed deze aan de regels. Onderzoekers namen zaterdag monsters van kerosine op de luchthaven van de Russische stad Samara om te kijken of de brandstof mogelijk het ongeluk heeft veroorzaakt. Zondag is gestart met het onderzoeken van de zwarte dozen, die beide zijn gevonden.

De zwarte dozen kunnen meer duidelijkheid over de oorzaak geven. Van de twee dozen, neemt één alle vluchtdata op en de ander de communicatie in de cockpit. Alle 224 inzittenden kwamen om, op vier Oekraïeners na allemaal Russen. Het toestel was vertrokken van de Egyptische badplaats Sharm el-Sjeik, en stortte twintig minuten later neer in de woestijn. Het vliegtuig was onderweg naar Sint-Petersburg. Sharm-el-Sheikh is onder Russen een populair vakantieresort aan de Rode Zee.(de Volkskkrant)…[+]

As the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) celebrates its 50th anniversary, President David Granger has indicated his intention to declare November 1st as Defence Force Day.

President Granger made the declaration during a church service held yesterday at the National Cultural Centre (NCC) to commemorate the Force’s anniversary. Granger said that the decision was a token of gratitude to the men and women of the GDF, past, present and future.“As a token of the gratitude of the nation to our military men and women, I intend to declare that today, the First of November – and that this day every year hereafter – shall be observed throughout the nation as Defence Force Day.”

According to the retired Brigadier, it was his honour to be Guyana’s newest Commander-in-Chief during the GDF’s important milestone. He noted that the Force came into being on November 1, 1965, right at the time when Guyana was preparing to gain independence from Britain.(Kaieteurnews.com/photo:Kaieteurnews.com)…[+]

Funeral parlour owners accuse Top Cop of cronyism

10:36 am  

The proprietor of the Lyken/Newburg funeral home is calling on the Ministry of Public Security to put out a tender for the collection of human remains on behalf of the state, to eliminate what is being described as cronyism by a senior official of the Guyana Police Force. Dr. Dawn Stewart is convinced that the instruction of the Commissioner of Police to have human remains taken to the new Memorial and Crematorium Gardens Funeral Parlour is arbitrary and has created an uneven playing field. Her position is supported by the owners of at least two other established funeral homes, who have accused the police administration of touting the dead.(Kaieteurnews.com/photo:Kaieteurnews.com)…[+]
