“God put us in the swamp where the landing was smooth and no one was injured”
NASSAU, BAHAMAS Bishop Cedric Bullard, who crashed landed a small plane into the swamp at Treasure Cay, Abaco, with four passengers on board in August 2020, operated the aircraft without valid certificates of registration and airworthiness, according to an Air Accident Investigation Department (AAIA) report.
According to the final AAIA report, the certificates of registration and airworthiness for the Piper PA32 Cherokee Six expired on March 31, 2017 nearly three and a half years before the accident.
The private aircraft experienced engine failure shortly after departing Treasure Cay Airport.
Multiple illegal structures in Abaco shantytown will be demolished, Bannister says Desmond Bannister.
Minister of Public Works Desmond Bannister said multiple illegal structures that were erected at the Farm shantytown in Treasure Cay, Abaco, since September 2019 will be demolished in the coming days.
The action will be a part of the government’s phased plan to deal with the unregulated community, which Bannister said has flourished since the passage of Hurricane Dorian in 2019.
As he provided an update on the recent raid of that shantytown in the House of Assembly today, Bannister said following the monster storm there were only 30 structures at the Farm.
