The Pre-Commission of the voluntary program of George H.W. Bush S (CVN 77) gives to its sailors an opportunity to again give something to the community. Chief Religious Program Specialist (AW/SW) Eddie B. Williams, PCU George H.W. Bush volunteer event coordinator, the remarkable sailors already took part in 10 voluntary events this year which include Adopt-a- School at Newsome Park Elementary School, helping at a local soup kitchen, Habitat for Humanity and United Services Organization (USO) concerts.

“It’s a way of giving back,” Williams said. “We are one team, one fight, one mission and we exemplify that through our taking care of others.”

PCU Bush Sailors help out local programs by offering the labour, by collecting food and clothing in boxes of collection, and by giving it to the local groups in the need. Storekeeper Seaman Jennifer Punch took part in four voluntary events, including working with the soup kitchen in news of Newport, Virginia. It hopes in the future to carry out more voluntary work.

“I do it to help out,” Punch said.

When a tornado struck Suffolk, Virginia last April 28, it damaged dozen houses and companies, injuring more than 200 people. PCU Bush Sailors joined more than 1.000 000 United Way volunteers to help high clean the sectors to give the attack with-damaged.

“We had major support from our Sailors with the Suffolk tornado disaster,” Williams said. “PCU Bush Sailors were victims of the devastation, and by us giving to the community it made a great impact.”

Williams said as the weather gets nicer, there will be more community service events for PCU Bush Sailors.

“We have a major event June 6 called, ‘Clean The Bay’, and we are gearing up to coordinate that event,” Williams said. “We are looking at more than 100 Sailors participating.”

During Clean the Bay, volunteers spend a day walking along rivers of Hampton Roads, picking up litter and trash. Last year, more than 100 PCU Bush Sailors took part in the event.

BRUSSELS, Belgium – A cargo plane crashed at the end of a runway and split in two while trying to take off Sunday at Brussels airport.

Four of the five crew members on board the Boeing 747 were slightly injured and were hospitalized. The aircraft cracked in two after it crashed at the end of runway 22, which lies very close to a rail line and houses.

Francis Vermeiren, mayor of the nearby town of Zaventem, said the plane did not catch on fire when it crashed after attempting to take off. Vermeiren was coordinating rescue efforts at the airport.

Firefighters coated the wings of the plane with special fire retardant foam as a precaution because the plane was still full of jet fuel. It was not clear what caused the crash.

The aircraft is owned by Kalitta Air, a cargo carrier based at Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti, Michigan and makes regular flights from Brussels.

A small plane that crashed in 1984 was found partially submerged by canoeists on receding, drought-stricken Lake Meredith in the Texas Panhandle.

According to National Park Service officials, the discovery on Lake Meredith was confirmed to be the fuselage of a two-seat Beech 77 that went missing during a two-hour flight on January 27, 1984.

The 25-year-old pilot and a passenger died in the crash. A wheel from the plane and a jacket believed to have been the pilot’s were found floating on the lake in the first two days after the crash. The plane and bodies were never found during a six-day diving search.

Park Service workers have now closed the area around the wreckage so they can investigate.
