Icon A5, described as ‘sports car with wings,’ has 2nd fatal crash this year

(CNN)Designed to make flying simple, the Icon A5 has been described as a sports car with wings that maneuvers like a Jet Ski.

Former Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies pitching great Roy Halladay died Tuesday in a plane crash in the A5, which was found upside down in shallow water off Florida's Gulf Coast. Halladay, 40, was the only person on the two-seater plane.

It was the second fatal crash involving the A5 this year.

In May, Jon Karkow, Icon's chief test pilot who was responsible for the plane's design, died in a crash in California. Cagri Sever, a new employee who was in the passenger's seat, also was killed.

The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the probable cause of that accident was pilot error. The plane had been flying at Lake Berryessa, a reservoir with coves, canyons and steep rising terrain.

"It is likely that the pilot mistakenly thought the canyon that he entered was a different canyon that led to the larger, open portion of the lake," according to the NTSB's aviation accident report.

Instead, there was no exit from that canyon. "The airplane would have not been able to climb out of the rising terrain that surrounded the area, which led to his failure to maintain clearance from terrain," according to the NTSB report.

In a May statement, Shane Sullivan, Icon's director of flight, said, "We're unsure why the plane flew into such a narrow canyon that had no outlet."

Icon initially suspended all flight operations of the A5 fleet after the accident but resumed them after NTSB's preliminary report.

NTSB embarks on probe

The NTSB is investigating the latest crash.

Noreen Price, the investigator in charge, told reporters on Wednesday the craft hit waters near New Port Richey at 12:06 p.m. on Tuesday after departing Odessa. She said there was one occupant and he received fatal injuries.

The plane was located in 4 feet of water, Price said, and "all major components were accounted for."

"It looked like a high energy impact but all the pieces were there. Most everything was attached but it was a high-energy impact."

She said the wreckage was recovered and was to be moved to a secure facility for a more detailed review. Two data recorders have been recovered and will be sent to the NTSB lab, she said.

A timeline is being started and witness interviews have begun, she said.

Price said the pilot racked up 700 flight hours, according to his logbook. The NTSB will be looking at weather and air traffic. Investigators will be looking at the pilot's training, experience and medical status.

Any witnesses who have photos or videos of the plane flying or the accident should contact the NTSB at witness@ntsb.gov.

"The full investigation will take approximately one to two years," she said.

There were no distress calls from the plane, the Pasco County, Florida, Sheriff's Office said. Price also said the preliminary information indicates that no mayday call was made.

But it is still early in the investigation.

"Very often it takes days for this information to come out," she said, "And then we find out differently."

A brand new aircraft

The certification for the plane was issued Monday, meaning the aircraft was brand new, according to the Federal Aviation Administration's website.

Icon Aircraft expressed its condolences to Halladay's family and friends.

"Icon will do everything it can to support the accident investigation going forward and we will comment further when more information is available," a statement said.

Icon A5s are considered light, amphibious airplanes. They can land on water or land, have folding wings and can be transported by trailers.

The controls of the Icon A5 have been likened to that of a sports car. It has been described as so intuitive that the company said even a novice can learn to fly in less than 30 hours.

The recreational aircraft can be flown by anyone holding a sport pilot license, which takes about half the time to get as a standard license.

The first production units were delivered in July 2015.

In a video about the A5 that the company removed but was preserved elsewhere, Halladay said he grew up around airplanes, because his dad was a pilot.

The former pitcher said he always wanted to get his pilot's license but wasn't able to do so while playing baseball. After retirement, Halladay pursued his love of flight.

German U-boat Crew Pictured Surrendering To The Raf

Images show U-570 on the surface of the north Atlantic with defeated crew stood on deck waving a white flag. Sub was captured during first ever patrol in 1941 and later recommissioned by the Royal Navy as HMS Graph. Photos discovered in an archive of Montague Whittle, who commanded an RAF base in Iceland during WW2. Archive includes logbooks, photos, and a letter of condolence on his death sent to family by King George VI. U-boat stands for ‘Unterseeboot’ (submarine). Germany built 360 during the First World War, which destroyed more than 11million tons of Allied shipping. On May 7, 1915, U-20 torpedoed and sank the line Lusitania off the west of Ireland. Almost 1,200 died including 128 Americans. The sinking was an important factor in the USA’s decision to join the allied cause. UB-122 had a crew of 34 and could travel at 16mph on the surface or 9mph submerged and dive to 150ft in 30 seconds. It entered service in March 1918, made two patrols but failed to sink any targets. U-boats were used in both world wars by Germany in an attempt to cut Britain’s North Atlantic lifeline to America. They hunted in groups known as ‘wolf packs’. Patrols could take up to six months and crews were not able to change their clothes apart from a single change of underwear and socks. With limited space, crews often resorted to ‘hot-bunking’ – as soon as one person had crawled out, the next would crawl in . For original post click link

How I ruined my chances of getting into UERMMMC-College of Medicine and lived to tell the tale without remorse

Earlier this day, I was scheduled for an interview at one of prestigious Medical Schools in the country (confetti blow!!!)

Okay, so here’s what happened.

I went there just after my San Beda College of Medicine entrance exam. It was SCALDING HOT, I was wearing dress-to-impress 2 inch grabiha (grabe ha!) heels. Not only that, my mind was tired and confused from SBCM.

(SBCM entrance exam entry soon to follow)

Since my mother and I (Yes, I went with my mother. I’m spoiledaf baby girl I know) got there early, we decided to sit near the cashier and wait for 1pm. When it was 1pm, I went down to room 105 and saw people my age writing in their interview sheets. I was peeking through the interview sheets of my competition future colleagues and these were what I saw:

UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES - MANILA

UNIVERSITY OF SANTO THOMAS 

After that, I stopped peeking. (MY DREAM SCHOOLS! WHAA)

I waited in line to get inside, then listed my name in their logbook, grabbed a questionnaire, a seat to sit on and looked at the questionnaire that will decide my worth whether I am worth of UERM or not.

It went like this: A friend of yours who is also a physician called you to cover for a 24 hour shift because a family member died unexpectedly. There is no other to cover for the shift than you. But you planned to go to your lola’s 90th birthday party. You were tasked by a lot of stuff for the party and your presence is expected by your lola. What are you gonna do? 

If you know me, you’d know how much I love my family. To answer this question, I pictured my lola as a 90 year old.

HA! I thought, “No way I’m gonna trade my lola’s birthday. My lola is 90 years old and looking fab” So, I answered the question as bluntly as I could.

“I will give my friend my sincerest condolences. But I will advise him to go to duty as scheduled because it is his obligation to do so”

5 minutes into the questionnaire, I decided that I am a horrible person for not being conditional. So, with all honestly, I went back to page 1 and tried to lengthen my answer, “Unless the physician in question cannot function because of his remorse, then I will apologize to my family and cover for his 24 hour duty for the safety of my patients”

Okay. Do not judge me. I am just a nineteen year old baby girl who loves my lola.

There were situations in the questionnaire like that, too. Which added to the already ruined chances of getting into UERM. (Unless, they appreciate my honestly that is)

For example: Your mom is sick. You live near a hospital and this hospital needs more doctors to take care of patients but there is a typhoon. The typhoon made the roads flooded and since you live near the hospital, you can go help and do things. 

I listed the choice that sounded like “My mom is sick. I’m gonna stay home and care for my mom. Mom comes first” most appropriate

My mom went with me to UERM because she knows I’d be lost if she didn’t accompany me.

There were some questions like this: Are you aware of the pressures of being a physician that some of them marry at a later age? GUESS WHAT I ANSWERED!!! Yes, I am aware and it does not bother me at all.

I don’t know what to answer. The talk of marriage is really too much for a nineteen year old. MARRIAGE? What? I could have answered. I am aware and I want to make my dream happen first before settling down but NO. It’s just that I cannot imagine marriage. I can’t picture walking down the aisle. I can’t picture my dad handing me off to another guy. I can’t picture leaving my baby sister and starting another family on my own.

-

To add injury to the marriage question, a couple sat beside me while I was answering the questionnaire. They were making yucky eyes at each other, holding hands, and their voices were soft - but not whispering - that I could hear their yucky pick-up lines. It seemed as if the girl is the applicant.

Boy: So ano, tanggap ka na ba?

Girl: Ha? Wala pa nga eh.

Boy: okay lang yan, tanggap ka na ng magulang ko.

I tried my best not to shout at them to get a room. Instead, I stood up and seated elsewhere.

-

I’m a huge family girl. And I don’t know how to lie about empathy and other things. If you are wondering about my dedication and determination in being a physician, I am wholly 100% sure that this is my calling.

I am aware of the perils and pressure of Med Life. But being a nineteen year old girl who was breastfed, spoonfed and given the best sippy cup made me too family-oriented(?). I am gladly and gradually weaning... Unfortunately, I might have lost my chances in getting to UERM because my dedication seems superficial the moment the questionnaire was being filled up. And the thing is, I answered with all honesty; and even if I don’t get in because of my ewan-ko-ba-sayo-bes answers, it’s fine. I can’t help but be myself.

I feel no remorse at all.
