Dreamliner 787 Heathrow fire 'probably caused by short circuit'

A fire on a parked Boeing 787 Dreamliner jet at Heathrow Airport two years ago was probably caused by a short circuit, air accident investigators have said.

The fire was likely to have been started by two bare wires touching in a piece of location equipment, the UK Air Accidents Investigations Branch said.

It then spread through the cabin and burnt through the fuselage.

Investigators recommended tighter testing and certification of devices.

The fire on the Ethiopian Airlines Dreamliner closed down Heathrow for nearly 90 minutes on 12 July 2013.

Hotel For President Obama's Two Day Ethiopia Visit Cost $412K

President Obama visited Kenya and Ethiopia during his recent trip to Africa, and the hotel bill for the president and his entourage totaled approximately $412,390.86 for the Ethiopia stay alone. A contract with the Hilton in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa was posted online recently:

The president arrived in Addis Ababa on Sunday, July 26 and departed on July 28. The government also spent $7,540 for cell phones for the president's Ethiopia visit. The White House did not respond to a request for an explanation.


My response:  Well Obama's trip to Ethiopia is not just to Ethiopia but to the entire African nations  (more than 50 of them). That means if we multiply this by whatever trip cost he has only spent in Ethiopia by 50  the Ethiopia's bill will be 1/50 the of the cost if  he would visited each African country. Addis Ababa is the center of African leaders/nations (AU) . That means going to Ethiopia is like killing 50 birds in one stone. May be Obama will be the only US president who has killed 50 birds(issues) in one stone. Yes if Addis Ababa was like London, Tokyo, Paris or other expensive cities   his bill could be 10 fold. Also Hilton is an American corporation and they might gave him some discount. My surprise is does Hilton has more than 1200 rooms. Very big ! 

Zimbabwe ‘Jesus’ dies after 30 days of fasting, fails to break Christ’s record

ZIMBABWEAN self-styled Messiah Khulu Reinfirst Manyuka has died from malnutrition after going without food for 30 days when he tried to emulate Jesus Christ and fast for 40 days and 40 nights.

Mr Manyuka, 73, left home on 15 June and headed into the bush to conduct prayers, redirecting his attention to God, away from things of the earth.

He was known by his family and community at large as a very spiritual person whose faith could move mountains and his death has puzzled those close to him.

One close relative said: “He was a very spiritual man. It’s unfortunate he had to die this way. “After a month we got the sad news of his death. He was a healthy and religious old man who did not even look his age.”

Attempting to equal or break Jesus Christ’s record of fasting for 40 days, Mr Manyuka gave up the ghost after just a month despite having no history of illness. He was alone in the wilderness and his body was found by a stranger who then alerted the police.

An Ethiopian man hoping to get asylum in Sweden has been found in the hold of an airliner after a flight from Addis Ababa to Stockholm.

He was handed over to Swedish police after a medical check at Arlanda airport. His health is said to be good.
The hold of the Ethiopian Airlines jet would have got very cold during the long flight. There was a stopover in Rome, but he is believed to have come all the way from Addis Ababa.
Such cases are rare, officials say.
According to Radio Sweden, the man is an Ethiopian, born in 1991, and intends to seek asylum in Sweden. The plane landed at 06:53 local time (04:53 GMT).
"When the staff were going to unload the baggage, they found the man. He was in good shape, but we made him see a nurse," said Henrik Klefve, spokesman for airport operator Swedavia.
Swedish police officer Anders Faerdigs said "he says he works at the airport in Addis Ababa and he had a badge with him.
"That's how he had been able to move freely around the airport, reach the plane and get in the cargo hold."
Police say he may have been in a section of the cargo hold that is warmer, and where animals are transported.
Swedavia said only authorised personnel would normally get access to the hold.
