300 penumpang terkandas lampu landasan LTSM tidak berfungsi

 

KUALA TERENGGANU: Tiga ratus penumpang bagi tiga penerbangan ke Kuala Lumpur terkandas di Lapangan Terbang Sultan Mahmud (LTSM) di sini, malam tadi berikutan kerosakan kabel yang menyebabkan lampu landasan gagal berfungsi.

 

Penerbangan yang terjejas ialah Penerbangan Malaysia (MAS) MH1338 yang dijadualkan berlepas ke Kuala Lumpur jam 9.15 malam, AirAsia (AK6336) jam 9.20 malam dan Firefly (FY3152) jam 8.30 malam.

Jurucakap Malaysia Airport Berhad (MAB) dalam satu kenyataan yang dikeluarkan lewat malam tadi berkata, LTSM ditutup bermula jam 9 malam tadi hingga 6.30 pagi ini.

Katanya, kerosakan kabel berlaku ketika kontraktor menjalankan kerja menaik taraf lapangan terbang berkenaan.

Bagaimanapun, katanya MAB sudah mengarahkan kontraktor terbabit menjalankan kerja membaiki kerosakan dengan segera.

“Dijangkakan kerja pembaikan dapat diselesaikan malam ini bagi membolehkan operasi kembali pulih selewat-lewatnya jam 6.30 pagi,” katanya di sini, malam tadi.

MAB turut memohon maaf berikutan kesulitan yang dihadapi penumpang.

Tinjauan di LTSM mendapati MAB hanya membuat pengumuman rasmi berhubung penutupan LTSM kepada semua penerbangan yang dijadualkan malam tadi kira-kira jam 9.10 malam.

BUKIT Jalil Sports School (BJSS) were yesterday crowned the Junior Hockey League Division One champions for the fifth consecutive year when they hammered Anderson School 5-0 at the Tun Razak Stadium.

BJSS lifted the title in style by collecting maximum 24 points from eight wins, with Petaling Jaya Municipal Council (PJMC) second and Tenaga Nasional third.

The League has ended, yet the Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) officials are still in the dark pertaining to the breakdown of prize money.

Efforts to contact MHF competitions committee chairman Manjit Majid Abdullah and MHF secretary Sgt Hashim Yusoff on the matter proved futile.

PJMC still have one rain-interrupted match against Bukit Jalil Sports School Juniors to complete on Tuesday, but it is academic since the result will not change the fortunes of both PJMC or the Juniors.
The seeded quarter-finalists for the Milo Cup from Division One are BJSS, PJMC, Tenaga and Bandar Penawar Sports School.

The other two qualifiers from Division one, Tunku Besar Secondary School and Anderson as well as Division Two finalists Selangor and Terengganu, will draw lots on Tuesday to determine their opponents.

 

WARNING CAME TOO LATE TO SAVE LIVES

THE QUESTION: Why did students go to class — as if nothing happened?

A single question stands out from the massacre at Virginia Tech: Would more students be alive if the university in Blacksburg, Va., had not allowed them to go to class after a shooting had occurred in a campus dorm?

The nation’s deadliest campus shooting rampage began at 7:15 a.m. in West Ambler Johnston, a coed dormitory, where police found two people fatally shot. But the first e-mail message to students from the Virginia Tech administration did not go out until more than two hours later, at 9:26 a.m., stating that a shooting had occurred but with no mention of staying indoors or staying off-campus or canceling classes.

Sometime after 9:30 a.m., a second round of shooting began in Norris Hall, an engineering building on the other end of the sprawling 2,600-acre campus. Police said the gunman killed 30 people at Norris and wounded 15 before killing himself.
