again been thrown in the spotlight with more questions being raised about its
overall responsibility in a November 10 2016 plane crash in Greenwich stones in
tanjur which claimed three lives the spotlight has been shown on the JSE a
following the publication of a damning report into that crash we have more in
the support vice president of technology and innovation at the Caribbean maritime
university professor Noelle Brown has concluded that the issue of whether
criminal sanctions have arisen now falls at the feet of the authority a 60 page
report on the probe into the fatal crash includes damning findings among other
things it concluded at inadequate maintenance of a plane's engine
mechanical deficiencies along with pilot error or contributing factors
investigators also found breaches on the part of a carbon aviation training
center which operated the plane among the questions which ever risen is
whether the criminal law is applicable in this situation in relation to the
plane status and the contribution to the death of the three passengers professor
Brown addressed the issue yesterday while speaking on our GRS beyond the
headlines I'm thinking that report is out I'm not sure if report didn't see it
stop short of saying anyone is criminally liable for anything but that
should be a question that should be answered by GE a lot of these things
would still fall under the remit of the GZA professor Brown indicated that even
in this case where the operators of the aircraft are known the JSC
AA's rule cannot be overlooked so is if someone has to be held responsible we
know who you know we'll be held responsible yes
JC a are the regulator's still have some responsibility in everything that
happened machine masters TVJ news for the second time in 24 hours there has
