Aviation accidents and incidents

-


No matter what the transport mode is, accidents always reduce the public’s confidence in the safety of the transport system. Accidents can lead to injury or death and can cause environmental and economic damage. Independent investigations into causes of accidents and incidents, and the resulting recommendations, help to prevent these events from re-occurring and thus play an important role in improving transport safety.

Recognising the importance of accident investigation in civil aviation, in 1980 the EU adopted a Directive 80/1266/EEC on cooperation and mutual assistance between the Member States in the field of air accident investigation. The Directive of 1980 was subsequently replaced by Directive 94/56/EC, which transposed into the EU legislation a number of principles contained in Annex 13 of the Chicago Convention. This significantly contributed to the harmonisation of civil aviation accident investigation in the EU.

In 2010, the European Commission conducted a comprehensive review of EU legislation on civil aviation accident and incident investigations. This review resulted in the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 996/2010 , which currently provides the legal framework for the conduct of civil aviation accident and incident investigations in the EU.

Following the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 996/2010, civil aviation safety investigation authorities of EU Member States gathered on 19 January 2011 in Brussels to establish the "European Network of Civil Aviation Safety Investigation Authorities" (ENCASIA) .

Additionally, a European Central Repository of Safety Recommendations and their responses has been created, access to which is regulated by Commission Decision 2012/780/EU .

Guillermo Parilla, a jimador (professional agave harvester) in Jalisco, Mexico cuts the long sharp leaves off of the piña, the heart of a mature blue agave plant using a special knife/shovel tool called a ‘coa'. These piña are then trucked to the Tequila Ocho distillery nearby where they are baked in giant ovens, smashed, soaked, fermented and distilled the old fashioned way to create high end tequila. I recently travelled to Jalisco, Mexico to photograph the production of tequila for a new @natgeo and @wsj magazine called Far & Away. The inaugural issue of the mag was released last weekend within the Wall Street Journal. ‘Tequila Rocks’ was a journey through the blue agave fields East of Guadalajara, to the rowdy bars and many distilleries of Tequila town.

The chief creative officer went on a six-month sabbatical starting last November after being accused of sexual misconduct and unwanted physical contact. Now that his six-month leave is coming to a close, The Wall Street Journal reports that execs have discussed bringing Lasseter back to Disney in a new position—one that slows his managerial control but allows him to “retain creative influence.” The final day of Lasseter’s sabbatical is May 21, which is rapidly approaching. Per the W.S.J., employees have adjusted to day-to-day life without their old boss, though his absence has been noted. Prior to leaving the company, Lass
