Living near the Ottawa River and between two airports, they're used to hearing planes overhead, but then something sounded all. We heard it sputtering. That plane, a small recreational aircraft, crashed about 10 kilometers from their home, killing the pilot and injuring two others. Two days later, I saw this very shiny piping material. That's not something I put there. Craig came into the house with this pipe in his hand. Holy Mac. Parfet grew up around engines,

and they figured the part a camshaft must have come from the downed plane. They took pictures called the police who took the part away in an evidence bag. In mid-August, the Transportation Safety Board put out alerts looking for missing pieces of the engine. The TSB wants to take apart the plane in hopes of finding out what caused the engine to fail. The investigation is expected to be done by next March. David Fraser, CBC News, Ottawa. Air Canada flight attendants have overwhelmingly rejected the latest tentative

deal with their employer. Their union says 99% of members voted against it, but there will not be a new strike with both sides agreeing in advance. There would be no labor disruptions. Air Canada and the Canadian Union of public employees had also agreed that if the deal wasn't ratified, wage issues would go to mediation and then to arbitration if needed.

I came back to Khatoum last month, like everyone I know, I found my house looted, but I've turned to solar energy so I can have power. Despite the high volume of returnees, many are still worried about security and reconstruction plans, as well as basic day-to-day needs. Sudanese blind minister, Camry, says the government hopes to address those concerns.
