Plane crash in Tennon leaves scores dead

A plane crash in the Seaview District has left many dead, as rescuers are still searching the crushed houses for survivors.
The plane involved was on approach to New Tennon Int'l Airport when it slammed into houses and burst into flames. None of the 19 people onboard survived.
Rescuers have recovered the charred bodies of the passengers and many others in their houses when the plane crashed at 5am yesterday (16 Dec).
At least 56 bodies have been recovered so far, and rescuers fear the death toll may go into the hundreds, partly due to the timing of the crash and the fact that Seaview is a residential district. The plane slid at least 8 blocks, setting houses on fire.

Tennon crash death toll exceeds 100

The death toll of the recent plane crash has hit 103, as rescuers clear the wreckage from the Seaview District.
The plane, which was flying from Khasar to Tennon, crashed into the residential district Friday morning. None of the 19 onboard survived, and blocks of houses were destroyed by the crash and the subsequent fire. Rescuers have cleared the area and searched all houses for survivors, putting the death toll at 103. At least 250 people are injured, some of whom are in critical condition. This is one of the worst plane crashes in Techland history, and the first in a residential district. The TAIA (Tech Aviation Investigation Authority) is investigating the incident.

East Asian drone take over Martian mine

In a hostile act of aggression, communist East Asia has unjustly taken over an iron rich Mars mine. The mine was worked by weaponless Carenian worker droids, and was stolen by a large force of communist drones and put under their control. This has occurred after several infractions of the 2125 Martian Land Treaty signed between East Asia and Federation done by the communists, and increased tensions over control of the iron rich Aquilonem Mons Magnus region. The Carenian embassy is currently trying to negotiate and persuade Beijing to return the mine to Carenian control, however a large contingent of Carenian drones is ready to take the mine back should the negotiations fail.

Pluto Colony is established

10,000 Carenian men, women, and children have step foot on Eris, and are furthest humanity has pushed yet. Establishing the settlement of Novae Lericho, an enormous underground city, they are the first humans to set foot on a satellite in the Oort Cloud. The Two Century Plan, established by President Draxlan, who ruled over sixty years ago, is still going on and the colonization of Eris has coincided with the plans for this decade.

TERRORIST ATTACK IN SOUTHERN VILLAGE

Radical Equalist terrorists have attacked multiple ponies in the farming village of Mioskali in southern Valgora. The village has a population of only 300 with 200 being ponies. The radical Equalists attacked and stole the cutie marks of 25 ponies. A search is being conducted by the military and the police to find these terrorists and to bring them to justice.

In charge of the investigation is Moonshadow Skutasson who said in an interview:

"Við munum finna þá, og þeir munu takast á við afleiðingar. Miðað við umfang þennan glæp, munu þeir vafalaust að framkvæma."
("We will find them, and they will face the consequences. Considering the extent of this crime, they will surely be executed.")


POLL MAY LEAD TO A DEFUNCT PARTY

Recent polls show that the World Assembly Coalition Party (WACP) - the political parties advocating for joining into the World Assembly - may become defunct. A recent poll showed that the parties advocating for joining the World Assembly for reasons such as free trade, are receiving nearly 0% support. The parties advocating for joining the WA to spread socialism have 1.5% support.

Political scientists have said that this is not the end of the WACP, because it will simple become more left; however, that still won't save the party due to the overwhelming hatred of the WA.

Dr. Timotei has expressed his happiness towards this by saying that he is glad more people are against giving up Valgora's independence.
