US law firm to represent 65 families in AI crash probe
Vadodara: Prominent US-based law firm Beasley Allen will represent at least 65 families from India and the US whose relatives died in the AI-171 plane crash in Ahmedabad. The law firm's aviation attorney and the lead lawyer for the AI-171 crash, Mike Andrews, is on a visit to India to meet families. He visited the plane crash site in Ahmedabad. Talking to media persons, Andrews said that the families he met in the UK and India expressed a burning desire for answers, transparency, and information. Andrews said that the legal options available to the family will primarily be based on what data shows and what the investigation reveals. "We visited the crash site and spoke with some of the individuals who were there. We were able to take some photographs and get a feeling of the size of the scene," said Andrews. The Boeing 787-8 plane en route to London from Ahmedabad crashed into a medical hostel shortly after take-off, killing 241 out of 242 people onboard and 19 on the ground. Andrews said that the data will give them an idea of which entity may or may not be responsible for the crash. He added that if Boeing is found to be responsible for this crash, the cases will be filed in the Federal court in the US. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Can Mental Illness be the Key to Their Creativity? Undo When asked about reports of a pilot error being responsible for the incident, Andrews said that more often than not, pilots who are deceased are the ones who are blamed. He added that in other incidents where the planes landed safely, the pilots were not blamed because those pilots can still speak for themselves. Andrews said that previous crashes taught us that the rush to reach a judgement on any crash is premature and speculative. "We need to wait to get all of the data," he said. After Ahmedabad and Vadodara, Andrews was scheduled to visit Surat and Diu. From Diu, he was expected to return to Ahmedabad and then to London.

Lioness Spotted In Central Africa National Park For First Time In 6 Years: Report
A conservation group says it has photographic evidence of the presence of a female lion in a national park in northeastern Central African Republic for the first time in six years. The camera trap evidence of the lioness is a "critical milestone in the recovery of lions" in the region, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) said. "Until now, all camera trap images had captured only males, with no evidence of breeding females or cubs," it said in a statement on Thursday. The image, recorded in Bamingui-Bangoran National Park, suggested that the lioness was lactating, indicating the presence of cubs, which the NGO called "a promising sign of reproduction and population resilience". The US-based NGO said that the lion population in northeastern CAR was estimated at a few dozen at best. "Yet, the habitat remains largely intact, with low human densities, offering an extraordinary chance for recovery," Luke Hunter, executive director of WCS's Big Cats Programme, said in the statement. The WCS said that northeastern CAR faced acute conservation threats, including from ivory poaching, commercial bushmeat hunting and illegal extraction of resources. "These threats are often compounded by armed groups and regional insecurity," it added.
