On the Isla Margarita in Venezuela on a trip to Angel Falls, tour operator First Choice is being sued for the death of six year old Thomas Horne, who died on a tour while not wearing a seat belt. In fact, an investigator reported in an inquest that “Thomas would probably be alive had he been restrained properly by a seat belt.”
A 14 seat Cessna 208 crashed while they were aboard.
The crew did not inform the passengers how to fasten a four-point waist and shoulder seat belt. The Cessna manual indicates that not wearing the shoulder harness could be fatal.
The flight was not run by First Choice, but by a third party.
A Batik Air plane collided with a TransNusa plane on the runway at Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, Jakarta, Indonesia, on April 4th.
The incident happened when the Batik Air plane was taking off, while the TransNusa plane was being towed across the runway.
