MIAMI,Sept 9, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The two pilots of an Amazon cargo plane that overran the runway while landing at Miami International Airport, striking a van and killing five people, have been released from hospital, officials said Tuesday. Three people are in hospital, two in critical condition and one stable, following Sunday's accident, Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said at a news conference. Cordero-Stutz said the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was leading the investigation into the accident while the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office would conduct its own inquiry into the deaths on the ground. NTSB chief Jennifer Homendy said officials were reviewing flight data and cockpit voice recorders from the plane. Flight data released by investigators on Tuesday suggests the plane tried to abort a landing, before it tore through a perimeter fence and slammed into two vehicles. NTSB investigator Chihoon Shin said the plane attempted to perform a "go-around" -- a routine safety maneuver where a pilot stops a landing attempt and returns to the air to safely make another approach -- before abandoning it. The pilots then applied the brakes to try to stop the plane and put the throttle into idle, Shin said. Homendy said the plane's pilot and co-pilot, aged 55 and 37, would be interviewed on Wednesday. The plane came to a halt about 1,300 feet (400 meters) past the end of the paved runway surface, Homendy said. The five fatalities were in a cleaning-services van. Hundreds of flights were delayed at Florida's busiest airport following the crash. Homendy said the plane was a Boeing 767-300 built in 1994 and operated by 21 Air LLC, based in Miami and contracted to Amazon. It was on its third flight of the day, and arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

DHAKA, Sept 09, 2026 (BSS)- Bangladesh and Hong Kong today signed an Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (IPPA) aimed at increasing and safeguarding bilateral investment between the two sides. The agreement was signed at the inaugural session of the 11th Belt and Road Summit 2026 held in Hong Kong, said a press release here. Industries, Commerce and Textiles and Jute Minister of Bangladesh Khandakar Abdul Muktadir and Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Algernon Yau signed the agreement on behalf of their respective sides. The agreement is expected to strengthen protection for investors and capital from both Bangladesh and Hong Kong while creating a more institutionalized investment environment and opening up new avenues for economic cooperation. Hong Kong is currently Bangladesh's seventh-largest source of foreign investment. The new agreement is expected to help attract increased investment from Hong Kong, particularly in promising sectors including readymade garments and textiles. Over the past five years, Bangladesh has attracted around US$750 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) from Hong Kong. Of the amount, US$122 million came in 2025. Officials and stakeholders said the signing of the IPPA would give a more institutional shape to investment relations between Bangladesh and Hong Kong. They expressed hope that the agreement would not only boost investment but also contribute to strengthening bilateral economic relations and help reduce the trade imbalance between the two countries.

RANGPUR, Sept 9, 2026 (BSS) - A mobile court fined a molasses factory in Gyanarpara village under Mithapukur upazila in the district Tk 1,50,000 for producing adulterated molasses in a dirty and unhygienic environment today. Executive Magistrate and Assistant Commissioner (Land) of Mithapukur upazila, Ashiq Zaman, conducted the mobile court with the assistance of Bangladesh Safe Food Authority (BFSA) officials and members of law enforcement agencies. This raid was conducted at the factory based on information that it had long been posing a serious risk to public health by producing adulterated molasses using harmful chemicals and substandard ingredients. During the raid, the court observed such irregularities in making molasses in an unhygienic and damp environment, with unauthorized non-food-grade harmful colors and flavors, hydrose, low-quality canned chita jaggery, flour, and sugar. For these irregularities, the mobile court fined the factory owner Mokleshar Rahman Taka 1,50,000 under the 'Safe Food Act, 2013'. After the raid, the Executive Magistrate said that the administration is taking a strict stand against any dishonest and adulterated business that poses a health risk to people.  "Such drives will continue to protect public health," he said.
