Dust storm causes crashes of dozens vehicles in US

[ad_1]
Chicago: A dust storm caused pileups from vehicle crashes on a highway in US Midwest state of Illinois, according to local authorities.
More than 30 people have been sent to hospital for injuries, and the number of fatalities has not been confirmed, Xinhua news agency reported.
State police troopers responded to numerous crashes about 11 a.m. Monday on both directions of I-55 in Montgomery County, south of Springfield, capital of Illinois, the Chicago Tribune quoted the police as saying on Monday.

About 20 commercial motor vehicles and 40 to 60 passenger cars were involved in the crashes, including two tractor-trailers that caught fire.
The crashes were caused by “excessive winds blowing dirt from farm fields across the highway leading to zero visibility,” police said. I-55 is currently shut down in both directions.
State police are investigating.

Coast Guard helicopter crashes soon after takeoff at CIAL

[ad_1]
Kochi: One person was injured when a Coast Guard helicopter crashed on Sunday just after takeoff from its enclave at the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) here, but the “presence of mind” of the pilot saved the lives of three persons onboard, a release said.
The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) said the ALH Mk III chopper CG 855, based in Kochi, took off from the enclave located inside CIAL complex at about 12.25 pm for “inflight checks after fitment of control rods” on the aircraft.
It said the chopper lost control when it was about 30-40 ft above the ground. However, the pilot showed “exemplary professionalism and presence of mind” with bare minimum controls and manoeuvred the aircraft away from blocking the main runway of the international airport, the ICG statement said
“Prior to the inflight checks, HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) and ICG teams had carried out extensive and satisfactory ground trials,” the ICG said. “Immediately after takeoff, when CG 855 was at about 30-40 ft above ground, the cyclic controls (which controls longitudinal and lateral movement of aircraft) did not respond.”
The pilot “cushioned the landing to the extent possible” in order to save the three persons on board, it added. One person has a minor injury in his hand, sources told PTI.
The chopper’s rotors and airframe have been damaged, and an inquiry has been ordered to ascertain the cause of the crash.
Meanwhile, CIAL said airport operations were suspended for two hours after the Advanced Light Helicopter of the Coast Guard met with the accident.
“The ALH was removed from the operational area around 2 PM and the runway has been cleared substantially after safety inspections, and flight operations have been resumed,” CIAL said in a statement.

MP: Trainee pilot, flight instructor killed as flight crashes in Balaghat

[ad_1]
Balaghat: A trainer aircraft crashed on Saturday in the hilly region of Madhya Pradesh’s Naxalite-affected Balaghat district and caught fire, killing the flight instructor and the woman trainee pilot, officials said.
The aircraft belonged to the IGRAU (Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi) which was on a training sortie, and prima facie bad weather caused the crash, said an official from Gondia in neighbouring Maharashtra.
Balaghat Superintendent of Police Sameer Saurabh said two badly burnt bodies were recovered from the spot which falls under the Lanji police station.
He said the charred body of a man (believed to be that of pilot Mohit Thakur’s) was found on the hills of Lanji and Kirnapur areas, about 40 km from the Balaghat district headquarters, near the site of the crash.
“We received information at around 3:45 pm (about the crash). As the area falls under the Naxalite-infested belt, security forces were summoned. Other personnel reached the spot after the area was cordoned off. We have recovered the bodies of the flight instructor and the woman pilot which are badly burnt. The spot comes under the Lanji police station”, Saurabh added.
Deputy Inspector General of Police Anurag Sharma told PTI the trainer aircraft took off from the Birsi airstrip in Gondia district bordering Balaghat at 3.06 pm. It lost connection with the Air Traffic Control (ATC) at 3.11 pm.
“It is widely believed that the charred body was that of pilot Mohit Thakur’s (around 25 years),” he said and added the woman trainee pilot, Vrikshanka Maheshwari, (around 20 years) is missing.
“Prima facie, both of them perished in the crash,” he added.

The trainer aircraft belongs to IGRAU (Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi). It crashed at the hills near Bhukkutola village in Balaghat district at around 3:30 pm, killing a flight training captain and a female trainee, IGRAU Administrative Officer Satya Kumar told PTI in Gondia.
“The trainer aircraft with flight instructor captain Mohit took off from the Birsi airport on a routine sortie at around 3 PM. It reportedly crashed due to bad weather in the hills near Bhukkutola village,” he said.
“The aircraft caught fire in which bodies of captain Mohit and the trainee pilot were badly mutilated. After getting the information, a fire-fighting team and a rescue team from Birsi along with other officials concerned rushed to the spot,” he added.
The wreckage of the aircraft was traced on the hills, Kumar said, adding villagers were first to reach the spot.
