أحبط رجال الإدارة العامة للجمارك في ميناء الشويخ مساء امس محاولة قنصل سفارة كوريا الشمالية لدى البلاد تهريب طحين محلي مدعوم حكوميا الى خارج الكويت بعد شحنه في حاوية كبيرة مصدرة باسم احدى الشركات
وقالت مصادر امنية لـ «الراي» ان رجال الجمارك «اشتبهوا بإحدى الحاويات التي كانت في طريقها الى التصدير واكتشفوا أنها تحتوي على شحنة طحين ابيض مدعوم حكوميا، فتم حجز الحاوية التي حاول القنصل الكوري التوسط لإخراجها إلا أن طلبه قوبل بالرفض على اعتبار أن القانون يمنع تصدير المواد المدعومة حكوميا
وأضافت المصادر أن رجال الجمارك وبعد الانتهاء من تحريز كمية الطحين المهربة «رفعوا تقريرا الى الجهات المختصة لاتخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة

Child Directs Planes at JFK
4 Mar 2010 2 Comments
“JetBlue 171, contact departure,” the unidentified child told one flight.
“Over to departure, JetBlue 171, awesome job,” a pilot said in response. Then a man’s voice is heard: “That’s what you get, guys, when the kids are out of school.”
If i was flying an aircraft coming in or out of JFK and a child’s voice came over from the control tower, i think i would be a little worried.
An air traffic controller at New York’s JFK airport has been suspended from work after allowing a child to direct flights in and out of one the world’s busiest airports. The incident took place on February 17 and an investigation has been opened. The child is also recorded saying “Adios, Amigo” to a Mexican pilot leaving the airport.
Accidents can happen with traffic in the air by different planes, maintenance problems, weather etc…. and now children taking over air traffic control….
