Departure airport: Khartoum-Civil Airport (KRT/HSSS), Sudan

Destination airport: Mwanza Airport (MWZ/HTMW), Tanzania

Flightnumber: 310
Narrative:
The aircraft was departed Khartoum for a flight to Mwanza where it was supposed to pick up a cargo of 38 tonnes of fish fillet from Vick Fish Processors for
delivery in Europe. When it went dark en route to Mwanza, the radio altimeter integral light was found to be unserviceable. The crew were not able to fix the problem and the continued using the FMS. The crew contacted Mwanza tower at 16:58 and were being advised that there was no power at the airport and that efforts were being made to use a standby generator. Further information passed on the crew reportedly included VOR, DME and NDB all unserviceable, weather: wind calm, 8km visibility, temperature 25deg C and QNH 1015. After holding for 10 minutes, the airport generator came on and the runway lights went on. The first officer, who was pilot flying, started a visual runway 12 approach. When well established on finals with full landing configuration, the captain told the f/o that he was too low, and a few seconds later he told the f/o he was too high. Both the captain and the filth engineer then told the f/o to go around. The f/o overshot and climbed to 5500 feet on the downwind leg. Turning on the left base the captain remarked that the turn was too tight: ".. I will do a 360-degree turn to the right and position you finals". The captain thus took over control and started a right turn at 4400 feet. Just before completing the turn, the f/o said: "do not go down anymore, the altimeter is reading 4100 feet". Almost aligned with the runway, the f/o took over control again. At that same moment the aircraft bounced 2 or 3 times yawing to the left and came down to a halt in the middle of the lake.

Kutoka MOI LEO! (A Terrible Daladala Accident!)

Sadiki Abdallah mmoja wa majeruhi wa ajali ya leo, ameumia kichwa

Huyu alipata maumivu ya kifua na kuumia ndani kwa ndani......

Huyu aliumia kichwa ,amevunjika mguu na kupasuka mdomo..............

Huyu binti aliumia kichwa na kupoteza kumbukumbu na kushindwa kutaja jina lake....

Huyu amevunjika mguu............... Huyu kama inavyoonekana pichani amechanika mdomo na kuvunjika mguu pajani

Huyu alipata maumivu makubwa kuliko wote katika ajali hiyo.Ameumia kichwa na kuvunjika miguu yote miwili chini ya goti na mguu wa kushoto ulivunjika sehemu ya paja pia.

AJALI MBAYA ASUBUHI YA LEO

Kama inavyoonekana pichani, majeruhi 10 wamepokelewa katika Taasisi ya Tiba ya Mifupa na Magonjwa ya Ajali Muhimbili (MOI) baada ya kupata ajali leo asubuhi mikocheni karibu na nyumbani kwa rais mstaafu Alhaji Ali Hassan Mwinyi. Taarifa za kipolisi zimesema kwamba hakuna aliyepoteza maisha.

Baadhi ya majeruhi wamesema kwamba ajali ilitokana na mwendo kasi wa daladala hiyo iliyokuwa inatoka Kariakoo kwenda Kawe.

Kwa mujibu wa Afisa Uhusiano wa MOI, Jumaa Almasi, majeruhi wa2 tu ndio waliruhusiwa kwenda nyumbani. 4 walifanyiwa upasuaji wa dharura, na wa4 walipatiwa tiba na kulazwa kwa uchunguzi zaidi.

Wakati huohuo,Almasi alisema kwamba Majeruhi wa Mabomu yaliyolipuka Mbagala wanaendelea vizuri ispokuwa hali ya majeruhi Zulfa Hamisi ambaye yupo chumba cha wagonjwa mahututi, hali yake bado ni mbaya sana. Na aliongeza kwamba, Waziri Kiongozi wa Zanzibar, Mh. Shamsi Vuai Nahodha aliwatembelea majeruhi hospitalini hapo.

Mbali na hilo, Bwana Almasi alisema kwamba, tokea jana mchana mpaka leo asubuhi, walipokea majeruhi wa ajali mbalimbali wapatao 18 wakiwemo hao wa ajali ya mikocheni.

Je, watanzania tunaziona hizi takwimu? Je, mdau hapo ulipo umefanya nini kuhakikisha hili janga linatokomezwa?Jana nilisema MOI ilipokea majeruhi wa ajali tu 67, na kuanzia jana mchana hadi leo ni 18 kwa hiyo ndani ya siku7 (April 26 hadi Mei 2) ni wagonjwa 85.

Du! Sikia hii!Trafiki anapohoji "Kwanini Unaendesha na Makobazi"

I got this from the "Daily Nation" (Kenya) of 1st May 2009.

Traffic Police can be full of surprises as they corner motorists to cough up that one thing that motivates many of them to stand at roadblocks, come rain or shine, day or night! During a recent safari out of town, Rupi Mangat says their vehicle was stopped near Limuru, and an Officer, after looking around and finding nothing wrong, still couldn't just let them go. Rupi adds: "he looked down at my fee and said, 'you know, you are not allowed to drive in sandals'. Is this really true? Have logical Day, won't you!

Inachekesha! Mambo ya mshiko haya!

Leo ni Sikuku ya Wafanyakazi Duniani (May Day)

Leo ni siku ya wafanyakazi Duniani, MAY DAY kama wengi wanavyoifahamu. Wakati watanzania wakisherehekea Sikukuu hiyo wito wangu ni ule ule kwamba, tujihadhari na ajali ili tusiwe sehemu ya takwimu zinazoingia MOI na hospitali nyimgine kila kukicha.

Leo pitapita yangu nilifika Taasisi ya Tiba ya Mifupa na Magonjwa ya Ajali(MOI) nikapata takwimu za ajali zinaoingia hapo.

Kwa Mujibu wa Afisa Uhusiano Mwandamizi wa Taasisi hiyo, Jumaa Almasi, ni kwamba kuanzia tarehe 26 April mpaka leo hii wamepokea jumla ya wagonjwa 67 kwa mchanganuo ufuatao:

• 30 wa mabomu kutoka Mbagala,


• 2 madereva


• 14 abiria


• 16 wapita njia


• 3 waendesha baiskeli

• 1 amejeruhiwa na mashine

• 1 amejeruhiwa na treni.

Amesema, Zaidi ya nusu ya wagonjwa hao wamelazwa hospitali wodini. Aliongeza kwamba, wakati mwingine ikitokea ajali kubwa,wanapotea mpaka majeruhi 30 au zaidi! Je, ungependa kuwa sehemu ya takwimu hizi? Tafadhali endesha kwa uangalifu.
