Mayday

A Turkish captain has saved the lives of some 95 irregular migrants abandoned on the Mediterranean Sea off Malta.

Some 92 Bangladeshi, two Egyptians and a Moroccan were trying to pass from Africa to Italy in a dinghy.

According to local reports, a Maltese Coast Guard aircraft detected the dinghy and made an official Mayday signal.

The plane that crashed in Colombia virtually wiping out an entire Brazilian football team was running out of fuel, had no electrical power, and was preparing for an emergency landing, according to the pilot's final words.
 
The disaster on the night of Nov. 28 killed 71 people and sent shock waves round the global soccer world. 

New information has come to light on Wednesday with regard to the horrible tragedy that occurred yesterday, when an Airbus A320 crashed at the Digne Region, south of France, resulting in the death of 150 people.

According to new evidence that emerged today, the aircraft's gradual dive took at least 18 minutes and not 8, as it was originally estimated.

Although the former significance of May Day as International Workers’ Day has faded, the customs that followed this holiday under communism are still very much alive.
