Experts investigating a fatal airplane crash that killed four people working on improvements at Dubai International Airport say the aircraft involved had followed too close to other larger planes just before the crash, jongambrellAP reports.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A plane involved in a fatal crash that killed four people working on improvements at Dubai International Airport had followed other larger aircraft landing there too closely as air traffic controllers offered inconsistent warnings about the hazard, a preliminary investigative report released Sunday found.
The plane crashed some 8 kilometers southeast of the airport in Mushrif Park, near the city-state’s water reservoirs, and was completely destroyed on impact. The plane carried no voice record, nor a flight data recorder, known colloquially as “black boxes,” as it was not required to do so because of its small size, the report said.
Dubai International Airport and Flight Calibration Services Ltd. did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Report: Guy Just Put 10 Bucks In JukeboxEAST LANSING, MI—Gold Mine Bar & Grill sources report that, just as you got change back from the two pitchers you ordered, some guy walked up to the jukebox and methodically slid in two fives, an amount of money sufficient to play 40 songs. “Well, that’s it for me,” said one of the regulars, who was just finishing his drink anyway, as the jukebox guy’s girlfriend came over to help him pick. “Look at this guy. There aren’t even 25 good songs on there.” As of press time, the guy had just asked the bartender to mute the TV as Meatloaf’s “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” began its first of three eventual plays.
