Smh, they need to make him a take a mandatory boating course because clearly he doesn't know what he's doing.

Missing at sea two times in a year...smh. He's lucky, some people don't live to tell this tale once much less twice.

Furthermore it's using valuable resources to search for him when all this could have been prevented by a simple judgment call.

Back to my original point, stuff in the regular household garbage that shouldn't be. At what point do we address the main cause, we need better separation of household waste before it gets to the landfill.

It's 2018, why aren't we recycling...smh

No, the bright idea is that instead of throwing stuff that don't belong in the waste stream in the regular garbage, separate it into special containers.

There could then be a special bi weekly or weekly collection of such items. And once it arrives to the landfill there would be a specially designated area to dispose of said items.

It is a collective process that begins in the home and ends at the landfill.

It works in other countries why can't it work here. Bahamians like to much flicking slackness, always ready to throw blame. Smh

How about instead of blaming the government Bahamians do their part to help.

I wonder if they realize they contribute to these fires. When they dispose of the old microwave, and the old blowdryer, the old tv, and any other small household appliances in the garbage they cause issues like this.

Because when a fire does break out at the landfill -and it will because composting trash creates methane gas- what might have been a simple Class A fire with biodegradable household trash now becomes a Class B or D fire with solvents and combustible metals. Which makes it harder to control and requires more man power to extinguish.

So before niggas start pointing fingers, try and see what you can do from in your home to maybe help with some of the issue.

What this country needs is another public trauma centre located on a different part of the island. Many accidents or emergencies are funneled to PMH and they don't have the space or the staff to handle it.

A trauma centre located elsewhere would alleviated some of the burden currently placed on PMH. Furthermore having a few of the local clinics opened 24hrs to deal with minor accidents and emergencies may also assist.

A 12hr wait time in an ER is ridiculous and shouldn't even be allowed to occur. But what do I know, I haven't been to PMH since I was born in the eighties. Lol

Your assumption is an assumption and not fact, so therefore fact is you're an ASS for making it.

Unless you were on the plane and know exactly what happened you know nothing.

BahamaRed says...

What's stupid is a motorist in a school zone not paying attention. Fact is pedestrians and motorists in The Bahamas don't know how to use the road.

Pedestrians crossing when and where ever they feel like with no indications, and to top it off sauntering like they own the road and daring anyone to hit them.

Motorist don't even recognize pedestrian crossings and you'd stand there all day for someone to let you cross. I've witness it myself....

Fact is on both ends Bahamians have a blatant disregard for road safety.

So I'm guessing you've had a chance to review the flight log, to see maintenance records on the plane, to examine the engines, and of course to speak to the pilot and ascertain his state of mind.

If you've done these things then you can emphatically state the cause of the crash, and since I know for fact you haven't, shut the hell up.

Making assumptions and accusations and you know nothing.

This is a perfect example of entitlement mentality, because he was born here he feels citizenship is his right.

The law clearly states that an application must be made at 18 yrs of age. So for 17 years this man did nothing...he deserves to stay in Haiti. I'd make him get a Haitian passport and then maybe seek to apply for resident status.

Goes to show how many of them disrespect the law of the land and then want to cry foul when it catches up to them. I don't feel sorry, hope they have him in the shittiest hole in Haiti.

Let this be a lesson... I am sure it doesn't take 17yrs to get straight if you have proof that you were born here. 17yrs...how many times the government changed in 17yrs, how many immigration reform exercises have been carried out and this dude isn't straight.

Gtfoh....he was operating under slackness and got caught.

It's always easier to have 20/20 vision when you are on the other side of the table. That's what I dislike about this country, the fact that everything must be politicized.

Six people lost their lives in an accident that may or may not have been preventable, but rather than come together and formulate a plan to prevent this from recurring people are pointing fingers.

And pointing fingers without having full knowledge of the situation, considering the plane was not fully recovered.

Truth be told the focus needs to be on how is this prevented in the future. What is needed to ensure crashes like this are prevented?
