An E-10 Saint, operated by Mineral Mountain Madness Co., crashed into an empty field in the Trebmal region today at 18:23Z. The pilot was the sole occupant and was killed. The preliminary account does not establish whether anyone on the ground saw the final moments.

Ground Observations Could Help Explain Crash
By JAMES THILL - Wednesday, October 8, 2251
An E-11 Saint, operated by Mineral Mountain Madness Co., crashed into the Deois Port District, near the intersection of 11TH ST and KENDALL DR today at 02:50Z. The pilot, the only occupant listed aboard, was killed. Cargo records show a further loss of 109 metric tonnes. The incident also involved an explosion. Local weather observations recorded MVFR conditions, a cloud ceiling of 840 meters above the ground, surface winds of 7 m/s. No weather-related cause has been established or excluded. People nearby reported the incident, but their accounts give no clear picture of the aircraft's final approach. Investigators will look to the aircraft's "black box" for clues to its final flight path. Locating and recovering the flight data recorder will be an early priority; no recent ATC track is available for this preliminary account.

Now, as signs of inflation and improving global demand have returned, investors are beginning to shy away from commodities. A sustained slump in commodities would likely signal unhealthy consumer and business demand.

Unemployment Controlled
By ANGELA SMITH - Thursday, October 2, 2251
The USR authorities reported on Friday that Deois unemployment has fallen to the lowest level in about a month. That is a reported 0.07% of Deois inhabitants not officially employed. Who are these people? Where are they hiding? How do they survive? Of course, many will be the wives and families of hard-working colonists. And some will be casual laborers looking for work. But maybe there is a dark underbelly to our world? What are the implications for crime and of course for personal protection? We will follow this story.
