The death toll of the plane crash on Wednesday at Madrid’s international airport has reached 153. With 19 injuries, many of the survivors died in hospitals. At least six of the 26 survivors died hours after the accident due to grave contusions and burns that they suffered, Development Minister Magdalena Alvarez said. He said there were 172 passengers and crew members on board the Spanair MD-82, which burst into flames during the take-off on a flight to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.
The crash took place at the International Airport of Barajas, Madrid at 2:45 pm local time when the MD—82 jet shot off the runway at Terminal Four. Airport authorities said engine fire may have caused the accident. Witnesses saw columns of smoke rising from the aircraft whose left engine was said to be on fire.
The British broadcaster and jazz musician Humphrey Lyttelton has died at the age of 86. Known to millions of radio listeners as the urbane presenter of panel games, like "I am sorry I haven’t a clue", Humphrey Lyttelton first came to fame as a trumpet player and band leader in the 1940s. In 1956, his Bad Penny Blues was the first British jazz record to enter the top 20. Although broadcasting claimed more of his time from the 1970s onwards, Humph, as he was generally known, continued recording and touring with his band until well into his 80s.
Buskers ’playing Scotland’s national instrument, file bagpipes, has been banned from the country’s most famous street, the Royal Mile, in Edinburgh, because of complaints about the noise. The Royal Mile remains a residential street, and police have received hundreds of complaints that the skirl of the bagpipes is an anti-social nuisance. They can be so loud they were banned 250 years ago as a weapon of war. Regular pipers have now had to sign contracts restricting where they can play, and they have been warned their instruments could be confiscated. There will be an exception. Some bagpipers will be allowed on the Royal Mile during Edinburgh’s Music and Arts Festival in August.
The President of football’s world governing body FIFA Sir Blatter says the presence of two English teams in the final of the European Champions League highlights the need to limit the number of foreign players in every team.
