BREAKING NEWS Police Aircraft Crashes Into Sea Off Cha-am, Leaving Four Dead
Load shift likely a contributing factor. I can picture several of the occupants huddled over the pilot and co pilot seats looking at things. Then the mechanical issue (presumably). Too much weight forward to do any stall recovery, if that was even possible. The video seems to show not much control surface deflection -

TELSTRA's "black list".
Hello Australians. Appearantly, Telstra has some "black list". For example phone calls from Australia to Switzerland (and vice versa) no more possible. Why not? What is going on? -

BBC Contributor in Gaza Sparks Outrage ‘We’ll burn Jews like Hitler did’
Unacceptable opinions by the BBC "contributor". But were they expressed on the BBC? If so, the BBC must be condemned for doing nothing. But if not, was the BBC aware that they were expressed on other media? If unaware, they should investigate more closely the background of those they employ, in whatever category. Today's BBC (no longer what it was) is given more to presenting ready-made "narratives" rather than investigative journalism. Opinions such as those held by the person in question are held by others amongst the Gazan population, whether or not they support Hamas. Not all do. And not all hold such opinions. If you take the trouble to listen to a cross-section of opinions of Palestinians and Jews, Jews are not all identified as Zionists. Many orthodox Jews are supportive of the Palestinians. If you do not believe it, do a search. Many Zionists are not Jews. There are self-identifying "Christian" Zionists; and even Hindu-extremist Zionists in the IDF. A reporter should report all relevant facts and opinions (however objectionable) while endeavouring to be as objective as possible. Otherwise the reporting becomes "an opinion piece", and should be identified as such. -

BREAKING NEWS Police Aircraft Crashes Into Sea Off Cha-am, Leaving Four Dead
Reports say the aircraft had significant modifications before this flight which included stick and control surfaces. Video seems to show the aircraft had no control surface deflections. If it had done a low speed stall, it is not unreasonable to go nose down and pick up some speed and recover, but I don't think I see anything happening in the way of recovery. The aircraft performance sheet listed a stall speed of 65 mph. Three pilots on board what seems to have been a maintenance check out flight. Maybe inexperienced pilot was at the controls and just didn't know what to do. I personally, being an engineer and ex Air Force Captain in the aviation industry for decades and having been to Thailand over a dozen times, suspect the maintenance work and the follow up inspection and sign off process.
