A Tunisian pilot killed sexteen people because he started to pray when the plane was about to crash and he didn't do anything to stop the disaster. The cause of the crash was a problem with the fuel and the pilot, the co-pilot, the head of the airline and three others were jailed for eight and ten years.

ARTIC TREK TEAM PUSHES FORWARD
Pen Hadow, Martin Hartley and Ann Daniels walked more than ten "quilometres" a day during three weeks on the ice, to calculate the thickness of the ice with a novel mobile redar dragged behind a sledge. They observed that the thickness of the ice is related to the climate. Moreover this job was done in bad conditions like -40Cº of temperature and with a chilly wind.
