Aug. 31 (UPI) – Three people were killed and a fourth was injured when their single-engine airplane crashed at an airfield in Texas, authorities said.
The Bryan Police Department said Sunday it was securing the crash site at the Coulter Airfield in the Texas city of Bryan, which is about 100 miles east of Austin, and was awaiting the arrival of the Federal Aviation Administration to begin its investigation.
In a statement to KBTX, the FAA identified the aircraft as a Piper PA24-250, stating it crashed before 2:30 p.m.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are expected to take over the investigation on Monday, Click2Houston reported.

TOKYO (Reuters) - The successor to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is resigning because of poor health, faces a daunting list of economic, diplomatic and security issues.
Abe's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will choose its next party president on Sept. 14, media reported.
The winner will serve out Abe's term as party leader until September 2021 and is all but assured the premiership by virtue of the LDP's majority in parliament.
Below are main issues the new leader will confront.
ECONOMY AND CORONAVIRUS
Abe's signature "Abenomics" growth strategy was facing headwinds because of an export slump and a sales tax increase even before the coronavirus outbreak, highlighting the problem of lifting the economy out of decades of stagnation.
Critics said Abe's "third arrow" of structural reforms - the first two were hyper-easy monetary policy and government spending - was not bold enough in the face of a fast-ageing population and a rigid labour market.
Japan has not seen an explosive coronavirus outbreak but cases have been rising and the government must balance containing it and restarting the economy. The pandemic brought Japan's biggest economic slump on record and a third quarter of declines knocked real gross domestic product growth to decade-low levels, wiping out the benefits of “Abenomics”.
Policymakers are short of ammunition with a big public debt limiting new government spending and the Bank of Japan running out of options to hit its elusive 2% inflation target.
Japan is also struggling with a rock-bottom birthrate, shrinking labour force and low global ranking on women's empowerment.
DIPLOMACY
Japan's ties with China had improved ahead of a planned visit by President Xi Jinping, but the trip was postponed because of the coronavirus. Some LDP members want the visit cancelled over China's clampdown on Hong Kong and its push to assert claims in the East China Sea.
China is locked in a confrontation with the United States over rights, trade and security, and Washington may press Tokyo to take sides. But while Japan shares U.S. concerns about China, the Asian neighbours' economies are deeply intertwined so the next leader must balance security and economic priorities.
Abe had forged close ties with President Donald Trump so the next leader will be starting afresh no matter who wins the U.S. election.
Pressure on Japan from its main security ally to take on a greater share of the burden of its defence and pay more to host U.S. troops is unlikely to ease.
Japan's ties with U.S. ally South Korea are frigid due to disputes over Koreans forced to work for wartime Japanese firms and "comfort women", a euphemism for those pushed into Japan's military brothels, and the feud has spilled over into security and trade.
SECURITY, CONSTITUTION
The government has begun a review of its National Security Strategy following a June decision to scrap a plan to deploy the U.S.-made Aegis Ashore ground-based missile defence system at two sites.
An LDP committee wants the government to consider a strike capability to halt ballistic missiles within enemy territory, a controversial issue for a country that renounced the right to wage war after its World War Two defeat. The proposal is also likely to anger China and Russia, which could fall within range of any new strike weapons.
Abe engineered a historic policy shift by reinterpreting the pacifist constitution, passing laws to end a ban on exercising the right of collective self-defence, or defending a friendly country under attack.
But he failed to achieve his goal of revising the post-war, U.S.-drafted charter's pacifist Article 9. Amending that is divisive and the new leader must decide if it's a priority.
PUBLIC OPINION, GENERAL ELECTION
Abe's successor is likely to lead the LDP in a general election that must be held by October 2021 and could come sooner.
The weakness of fragmented opposition parties helped Abe hold power by leading the LDP-led ruling bloc to repeated election victories, and the LDP is expected to hold a majority in the next election.

El Al 971 To Abu Dhabi: First Israel-UAE 'Commercial Flight'
An Israeli-American delegation was set to take off Monday on the first commercial flight from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi as the US-brokered normalisation agreement between the Jewish state and the UAE takes hold.
The El Al flight, scheduled to leave at 0730 GMT from Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, will carry a delegation led on the American side by President Donald Trump's son-in-law and White House advisor Jared Kushner.
The word "peace" was painted on the plane's cockpit in Arabic, English and Hebrew, images issued by El Al showed.
The agreement between Israel and the Emirates to normalise ties was announced on August 13, making the UAE the first Gulf country and only the third Arab nation to establish relations with Israel, after Egypt and Jordan.
Israel's National Security Advisor Meir Ben Shabbat will be the most senior figure aboard the flight on the side of the Jewish state
The scheduled talks in Abu Dhabi aim at boosting cooperation between the two regional economic powerhouses in areas including aviation, tourism, trade, health, energy and security.
The flight by Israel's national carrier, numbered 971 like the UAE's international dialling code, was reported to have received permission to cross Saudi Arabia's air space.
Officials at El Al and the Israel Airport Authority would not confirm the reports, which would be the first known time El Al crosses Saudi airspace.
The return flight, set to leave Abu Dhabi on Tuesday morning, is numbered 972 – Israel's international dialling code.
Late Sunday, Israel's health ministry updated its list of "green countries" with low coronavirus infection rates to include the UAE and eight other countries.
The change meant the Israeli officials and journalists travelling to Abu Dhabi would be exempted from a 14-day quarantine upon return.
Since the agreement between the UAE and Israel was unveiled, there have been phone calls between their ministers, and on Saturday the Emirates in a new milestone repealed a 1972 law boycotting Israel.
"It will be permissible to enter, exchange or possess Israeli goods and products of all kinds in the UAE and trade in them," read a federal decree issued by UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking alongside Kushner in Jerusalem on Sunday, praised "the swift pace of normalisation" between his country and the UAE.
Noting the UAE's Saturday move, Netanyahu said it "opens the door" for "unbridled trade, tourism, investments, exchanges between the Middle East's two most advanced economies".
"You will see how the sparks fly on this. It's already happening," he said, predicting that "today's breakthroughs will become tomorrow's norms. It will pave the way for other countries to normalise their ties with Israel."
As part of the normalisation agreement announced by Trump, Israel agreed to suspend its planned annexations in the occupied West Bank, although Netanyahu quickly insisted the plans remained on the table in the long run.
The Palestinians dubbed the UAE's agreement with Israel a "stab in the back" as it opens parts of the Arab world to the Jewish state while their own conflict remains unresolved.
Saudi Arabia, in keeping with decades of policy by most Arab states, says it will not follow the UAE's example until Israel has signed a peace deal with the Palestinians establishing an independent Palestinian state.

Bill Gates: The Most Important Lesson He Learned From 10,649 Days Of Warren Buffett’s Friendship
Bill Gates celebrated his friend Warren Buffett’s 90th birthday on Sunday with a touching tribute in his blog, Gates Notes. Gates noted that it’s been 10,649 days since the day the two first met and established a deep friendship.
The most important thing Gates says he’s learned from Buffett in those years is a piece of advice that will catapult your success in life and in your career. Like many lessons the earlier you learn it, the better off you’ll be.
“Of all the things I’ve learned from Warren, the most important thing might be what friendship is all about,” Gates writes.
“As Warren himself put it a few years ago when we spoke with some college students, “You will move in the direction of the people that you associate with.So it’s important to associate with people that are better than yourself.”
Buffett has offered this advice for years, especially to students when he used to speak at universities up to twelve times a year. The lesson is clearly something that Buffett believes creates the foundation for a successful life.
In the 2004 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting, a 14-year-old asked Buffett what advice he would give to young people. Buffett didn’t hesitate and said, “It’s better to hang out with people better than you.”
Buffett took it one step further and explained just how to find those people who will lift you higher.
“If you’re picking associates, pick out those whose behavior is somewhat better than yours, and you’ll drift in that direction,” Buffett said.
“Look at the people you like to associate with. What qualities do they have that you can have if you want to? Look at the people you can’t stand to be around. What qualities do they have? Can you get rid of those qualities? It’s not very complicated.”
In 2007, Buffett added that spending time with people who are ‘better than you,’ means finding people you who admire; peers, associates, co-workers or leaders you can look up to as role models.
According to Buffett, “Choosing your heroes is very important because you are going to gravitate toward the behavior of those around you. Associate with people who are better than you are. It will do wonders for you.”
It’s important to note thatBuffett has historical heroes—like Martin Luther King, Jr. or financier Benjamin Graham—but ‘heroes’ don’t always have to jump from the pages of a book. They can parents, family, friends, or teachers (Graham was Buffett’s professor at Columbia Business School).
In the final paragraph of Bill Gates’ blog, Gates builds on Buffett’s advice to offer a lesson of his own.
“The friends you have will form you as you go through life.” Gates writes.
“Make some good friends, keep them for the rest of your life, but have them be people that you admire as well as like. A person that I admire as well as like—that's the perfect descriptionof how I feel about Warren. Happy birthday, my friend.”

GTI Resources progresses Uranium Project next door to Bill Gates' pending nuclear energy plant
Much of the acquired historical data is summary level drill intercept maps and tables based on downhole gamma logging at the time of drilling.
As presented within the summary maps, the grade and thickness provide an excellent indication as to the location and nature of mineralisation across certain areas of the expanded Jeffrey/Rats Nest Project area, and the Moki Project.
GTR’s foray into northern America comes at a crucial time when the US is looking to ramp up its uranium production and nuclear power capabilities.
Just last week Reuters revealed a new campaign by the Bill Gates-controlled TerraPower LLC (Gates founded the group 14 years ago) to build commercial advanced nuclear energy plants called "Natrium" in the US later in the decade.
According to Reuters,‘’The project will focus on the Pacific Northwest, where Gates has won the backing of three major utilities in the region, including Berkshire Hathaway-owned PacifiCorp.
This initiative is part of Gates’ strategy to assist in fighting climate change, and he is targeting a technology that will lead to a significant decrease in planet-warming gases while maintaining grid reliability.’’
