The flight from the Indian Ocean Island of mauritus to paris stopped stopped in kenya when a passenger spotted a sus pi shu device.

The fake device looked real enough to prompt the crew of this air france bowing 777 to make an emergency be landing in mombasa, kenya, and evacuate the 449 passengers and 14 crew using emergency exit slides. Passenger ann daniel. They told us it was a problem, technical problem, you know. So now they say that they found a bomb and so very tired, very difficult. Benoit lucchini was also on board.

Ron hosko say former assistant director of the fb. What type of person does this . Someone who is tesesk, someone who is poking at the bounds of airline security, and airport security.

After an avalanche in norway. It happened in svalbard, one of the northern most settlements in the world. At least nine others were injured and several houses were lifted off their foundations. Rescue operations took place in darkness. Svalbard gets no sun light from november to february. There was a serious crash this weekend at the world cup of down hill ski racing but as it turned out, it could have been much worse if not for some brand new Safety Equipment soan into a layer of the skiers clothes. Contessa brauer reports. Austrian olympic champ Matthias Mayer came racing down the mountain, flipped, flew and finally crashed hard. The crowd held its clengtive breathe as the skier struggled to get his. And he did. In part because he was wearing a radical new vest with air bags. Its the first time they have ever deployed in a world cup race. Its not as big as be air bag in your car. Canadian olympic medalist jan hudec helped test the new wearable air bag. Obviously bullkier and bigger than we would normally wear. That being said, its toaz maneuver in it. When a skier abruptly changes positions, sensors in the vest distinguish between an intentional jump, an off balance close call, or an imminent fall. The International Ski federation recorded 726 injuries over the last eight seasons of alpine competition. Nearly 20 of those involved the head, neck and shoulders. It only reasonable approved the air bag vests by italian maker dianese but professional skiers arent convinced, worried more about speed than safety. Its tough to implement a new thing even if it is for safety. In a sport where hundreds of seconds are on the line. January and the canadian teammates and a few austrians are early adopters. You have the switch for on off. So are athletes in other sports, motorcycle racers, hoard riders, northface makes them for snow borders in case of avalanche. Mayers fall landed him in a helicopter, then in the lopt and surely grateful for an air bag that ski officials are certain saved him from more serious injury. The austrian skier may have broke a vertebra and will be out of competition for a month. So far the ski federation refuse to make the new safety vests mandatory but mayers fall may turn sceptics into believers, elaine. Contessa brewer, reporting. Thank you.

But inside a former coal plant, work sunday way on a new Renewable Energy concept. Its simple construction, and simple works. The more simple the system, the longer it lasts. Simplicity as inventor saeth asgeirsson explains is the key to wind power. Because iceland is so windy traditional tur biens can spin out of control. He developed a unique tur bien all called the cw1,000 and the Science Behind it lies in the precisely engineered blade. Obviously it is basically spins on a vertical axis. The wind comes in, lets say it is coming from over here. This blade over here actually captures the wind while the blade on the opposite side is actually going against the wind. The end result is a tur bien that can actually slow itself down without needing expensive sme can kal brakes which often fail in traditional tur biens and high wind like this one did in denmark. So there is such a thing as too much. For sure. He created the company ice wind in 2012 has been tinkering with the design for years from earlier versions like this one in 2007 to todays more refined model. Is there a future for wind energy in iceland. Yes, definitely. Because we expect the cost of wind to decrease. Jonas ket ilson with is land says even in the island is 100 percent sustainable there is always room for cheap clean energy. After our financial crisis that we encountered a few years back, people had to rethink. And i think it did bring us a lot of good ideas.

Finally tonight a woman who has spent her Life Counseling survivors of tragedy only to become a survivor herself in San Bernardino, mer a ya villarreal has her story Angelika Robinson has helped others in their worst moment like after columbine. There is something that is so profoundly important about being with someone in the most horrific time of their life. But on a routine morning at the inland regional centre. I just finished my first assessment for the day. I heard gun shots. Several people yelled, theyre shooting at everybody. I saw the reaction. Peoples faces and the horror. Robinson says she immediately tried to call especially when swat officers burst in. That means that they are the good guys and they are protecting us. But when they were brought outside and saw the dead and wounded. It was horrifying. It was absolutely horrifying. Robinson convinced herself she was fine until she wasnt.
