Photos taken just before the crash of the Air France

All the passengers including the extraordinary photographer, who kept his cool even in
thelast moments of his own life and took these photos.

The world saw the disappearance of an Air France aircraftduring a trans Atlantic flight
between Rio to Paris .


Two shots taken inside the plane before it crashed.


Unbelievable photos taken inside the aircraft that was involved inthe crash.....


The two photos attached were apparently taken by one of the passengers in the
aircraft, just after the collision and before the aircraft crashed. The photos were
retrieved from the camera's memory stick. You will never get to see photos like this.
In the first photo, there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see
the tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo, one of the
passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.



These photos were found in a digital Casio Z750, amidst the remains in
Serra do Cachimbo. Although the camera was destroyed, the Memory
Stick was recovered. Investigating the serial number of the camera,
the owner was identified as Paulo G. Muller, an actor of a theatre for
children known in the outskirts of Porto Alegre . It can be imagined
that he was standingduring the turbulence, he managed to take these
photos, just seconds after the tail loss the aircraft plunged. So the
camera was found near the cockpit. The structural stress probably
ripped the engines away, diminishing the falling speed, protecting the
electronic equipment but not unfortunately the victims. Paulo Muller
leaves behind two daughters, Bruna and Beatriz.

Battling alienation, together

Freshers from the Northeast seek support of older DU students who guide them how to tackle Delhi life




BACK HOME Ejewanjai Angh had heard unpleasant stories about how students from the Northeast were treated in Dethi. Less than a month after landing lathe Capital, she had her own story to tell.
“A kid had the audacity to walk up to me and ask for sex. He seemed like he was only in Class 8 or 9,” said the 18-year- old from Nagaland.
“Does being from the northeast mean that one is characterless?”
Angh is among hundreds of yqungsters from the region currently seeking admission to Dethi flniversity. But their struggle here includes a constant barrage of nasty racial comments and incessant eve teasing.
Leishichan Zingkhai (19) from Manipur is just a week old in Delhi and she’s already had her first brush with racism.
A few days ago, a rickshaw ride to the university turned traumatic when two boys on a bike reached out to grab her hand. “What cheap thrifis does one get out of doing this?” she asked.
Support groups formed by senior students from the Northeast at DU are a big help. Their advice at the right time helps freshers steer clear of trouble.

“Most are clueless about ways to get things done and they are usually here for a short duration. We try our best to guide them,” said Shrijeet Boro, an Assam native and president of All Boro Student’s Union, Delhi.
Faced with cultural differences (read: language problem) and the insecurity of being in an alien city, the students too seem more comfortable seeking help from one of their own.
“I feel insecure whenever I go out. I feel better only when I see or interact with my own people,” said Janiso Athary (19) from Manipur.
From filling up forms to finding safe accommodation, there is help at hand for practically everything. The groups usually become like an extended family. “With the government in our part of the country being irresponsible, students from the
northeast usually end up with fake income and caste certificates. We help correct such problems as well,” said a volunteer at the he1pdsk set up
at North Campus by the Naga Students’ Union, Delhi.


In our own Country people treat us like outsiders. Though it hurts a lot, it is best to ignore such comments.
CHRIS, Manipur








People call me names like Bahadur and Chinky. It is as it Nepal’s national flag Is embossed on my forehead.
SORENGAM SHATSANG, Manipur








They make catcalls and brush against us. What I have noticed is men intentionally try to bump into us.

the joy of being chota tyson

HE HAS an uncanny resemblance to Mike Tyson. Tell him that and he chuckles, gives you an impish smile and says: “Haan?” Ask him about his I historic gold in Zhihai on
Saturday, he smiles and says it was ‘pleasing’. There is no trace of jubilation or excitement in the voice.

If you are meeting Suranjoy Singh for the first time outside the ring, he can pass off as recluse trying to discover his role in this complicated world. That’s for those who don’t know Suranjoy Those who know him, talk about his exuberance in the
ring; his excitement after winning a bout; that he considers the scars on his body as relics to remind him of his early struggles. Those in the know also talk about his unflinching loyalty to coach Ibomcha Singh, whose photograph he carries as a lucky charm, that he tried his luck in football before shifting to boxing and that he loves everything that’s Manipuri.

As we conversed, one thing was clear, Suranjoy likes to smile and he is no recluse. He is laconic, and needs some prodding to open up, but inside the ring he is different. “I am so focnssed inside the ring, that I feel no pain,” says suranjoy.
“In the ring he is like Tyson,” says Ibomcha. “He ges wild and stops at nothing.” His teammate, Nanao Singh (also from Manipur), who is back with a silver from Zhuhai,
echoes Ibomcha’s words. “One has to see it to believe. He is uncontrollable in the ring.”
Suranjoy won his first gold at the Hyderabad Games in 2002, when he was barely 16, after just two years of training at the SAl centre, Imphal.

“He is stubborn. One day he came to me and said he wanted to challenge the seniors and join the squad. It wasn’t easy as we had some very good boxers. But he managedb to get into the team through an open trial. it was in Hyderabad that he started winning, where he got the name Chota Tyson,” said Ibomcha.
For Suranjoy, those were the best fights of his life. Those are the moments that keep him

going when the chips are down. “They inspire me. Even when I was not being able to find a place in the senior team, those moments kept me going,” says the Asian champ, who ended India’s 15-year wait. As we started to part, Suranjoy admitted that deep within he likes being called Chota Tyson. “Tyson is no ordinary boxer,” he says.
Such is his humility, that even in this hour of triumph, he has not forgotten his coach and brother (Suranjit Singh), who introduced him to the sport.

“I owe everything to my brother and coach Ibomcha who trained me,” he says. He also reveals that when in base at INS Hamza, he trains with Dingko Singh. “I am at the same place. So I get an opportunity to spar with him. He teaches me a lot.”
- He does not forget to talk about national chief coach (G.S. Sandhu) either. “He has been a great inspiration. He makes you feel at home where ever you go.”
light, one thing is clear — he is everything that Tyson is not.
