Swiss Global Air Lines Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Zurich

Swiss Global Air Lines flight LX-464 had to return and make an emergency landing in Zurich, Switzerland, on January 15th.

The plane took off for London City Airport, England, but had to turn back due to the failure of one of the elevators.

The plane landed back safely. All thirty-six passengers aboard remained unharmed.

Viral Video Pilot’s Engagement Cut Short in Cachoeira do Sul


Last month, Arthur Demetrio must have been full of hope and good news when he took his girlfriend Thays Pereira da Cruz flying, and asked her to marry him by having his parents hold up banners saying “Thays Marry me” in an airfield in Cachoeira do Sul Brazil.

I wish this were the end of the story.

This Wednesday, Demetrio spoke to his fiancée Thays on the phone.
Later that day, his Cessna 140 aircraft was flying out of the airfield where he proposed.

He crashed in Cachoeira do Sul.

His student Darlan Kabata dos Santos, 31, and he both died. There was almost no warning, though Demetrio had time to tell ATC he was having plane trouble, something about the elevator, which controls the nose of the plane.

Officials informed his fiancée; she was the first to know. The family is devastated.

Arthur Demetrio will be buried in Santa Catarina, where he is from.

The accident is under investigation.
