Both pilots on Ethiopian Airlines flight fall asleep, miss landing
August 19, 2022
Both pilots flying a Boeing 737 for Ethiopian Airlines fell asleep at the controls and missed their landing Monday — before being jolted awake by an alarm when the autopilot disconnected.
Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET343 was supposed to touch down at 6:20 a.m. in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after a two-hour flight from Khartoum, Sudan, the Aviation Herald reported.
However, air traffic control in Ethiopia’s capital noticed that instead of descending for the final approach, the jet — which has a 154-seat capacity — remained at a cruising altitude of 37,000 feet.
Controllers made multiple attempts to contact the pilots, but to no avail.
After the plane overshot the runway without descending, the autopilot on board disconnected, triggering an alarm that woke the drowsy aviators, according to the Herald.KEK
The reinvigorated pilots then made a loop and approached the runaway again, this time landing the aircraft safely 25 minutes later, as shown by Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast data.
Ethiopia’s news outlet Fana reported that both pilots have been suspended pending an investigation into the incident.
Aviation analyst Alex Macheras called the in-flight nap “deeply concerning” and blamed “pilot fatigue.”
“Pilot fatigue is nothing new, and continues to pose one of the most significant threats to air safety — internationally,” he tweeted.
In May, the Italian news outlet La Repubblica reported that a pilot working for the state-operated airline ITA had been fired for allegedly falling asleep during a trans-Atlantic flight from New York to Rome.

Attention all Landscapers (excluding Billionaires of course)
‘Taking Down A Landscape Business Owner’: GOP Rep Sounds The Alarm On Viral IRS Training Video
August 19, 2022
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky posted a video showing potential IRS agents training Friday and urged Americans to notice a billionaire wasn’t the target.
“Notice the scenario in this IRS recruiting program is ‘taking down a landscape business owner who failed to properly report how he paid for his vehicles,’not ‘taking down a billionairewho uses the corporate jet for private trips,’” Massie posted.

Mexico officials arrest ex-attorney general, dozens of cops, soldiers in case of 43 missing students
August 20, 2022
Federal prosecutors said Friday they have arrested the attorney general in Mexico’s previous administration on charges he committed abuses in the investigation of the 2014 disappearances of 43 students from a radical teacher college.
Prosecutors also announced they had issued arrest warrants in the case against 20 army soldiers officers, five local officials, 33 local police officers and 11 state police, as well as 14 gang members.
The roundup included the first arrest of a former attorney general in recent history, and one of the biggest mass arrests ever by civilian prosecutors of Mexican army soldiers.
Jesús Murillo Karam served as attorney general from 2012 to 2015, under then President Enrique Peña Nieto. The office of the current attorney general, Alejandro Gertz Manero, said Murillo Karam was charged with torture, official misconduct and forced disappearance.
In 2020, Gertz Manero said Murillo Karam had been implicated in “orchestrating a massive media trick” and leading a “generalized cover-up” in the case.
The arrest came a day after a commission set up to determine what happened said the army bore at least partial responsibility in the case. It said a soldier had infiltrated the student group involved and the army didn’t stop the abductions even though it knew what was happening.
Corrupt local police, other security forces and members of a drug gang abducted the students in the city of Iguala in Guerrero state, although the motive remains unclear eight years later. Their bodies have never been found, though fragments of burned bone have been matched to three of the students.
Murillo Karam, under pressure to quickly solve the case, announced in 2014 that the students had been killed and their bodies burned at a garbage dump by members of a drug gang. He called that hypothesis “the historic truth.”
But the investigation included instances of torture, improper arrest and mishandling of evidence that has since allowed most of the directly implicated gang members to walk free.
The incident occurred near a large army base, and independent investigations have found thatmembers of the military were awareof what was occurring. The students’ families have long demanded that soldiers be included in the investigation.
On Thursday, the truth commission looking into the case said one of the abducted students was asoldier who had infiltrated the radical teachers’ college, yet the army did not search for himeven though it had real-time information that the abduction was occurring. It said the inaction violated army protocols for cases of missing soldiers.
The defense ministry has not responded to a request for comment.
The soldiers and officers being sought under Friday’s warrants — and the other officials, police and gang members — face charges of murder, torture, official misconduct, criminal association and forced disappearance
It was not immediately clear whether all the suspects faced all the charges or if the suspects were among dozens previously arrested and charged during previous investigations.
Prior to reforms in Mexican law, the army had long been allowed to refer soldiers accused of wrongdoing to separate military courts. But soldiers must now by tried in civilian courts, if their offenses involved civilians.
The soldiers being charged served at the base near where the abduction occurred in 2014.
The Institutional Revolutionary Party, which both Murillo Karam and Peña Nieto belonged to, wrote in its Twitter account that Murillo Karam’s arrest “is more a question of politics than justice. This action does not help the victims’ families get answers.”
Mexican federal prosecutors previously issued arrest warrants for members of the military and federal police as well as Tomás Zeron, who at the time of the abduction headed the federal investigation agency, Mexico’s detective agency.
Zeron is being sought on charges of torture and covering up forced disappearances. He fled to Israel, and Mexico has asked the Israeli government for help in his arrest.
Gertz Manero said that in addition to Zeron’s alleged crimes connected to the case, he is alleged to have stolen more than $44 million from the Attorney General’s Office budget.
