AUCKLAND — Air New Zealand chief executive Greg Foran claims the decision to work a contract for the Saudi Arabian military was nothing but a case of poor judgement, and appears to be rejecting the idea of an independent inquiry into the matter. Yesterday it was revealed that through a third party contract, the airline’s gas turbines unit worked on two engines and one power turbine module from vessels belonging to the Royal Saudi Navy. Air New Zealand said in a statement its gas turbines unit specialises in the repair and overhaul of gas turbines, such as power stations, fast ferries and large ships.

The Gisborne Herald • Tuesday, February 9, 2021 WORLD 13 Indian glacier flood kills 26 Up to 165 missing, rescuers digging for 37 power plant workers

RUDRAPRAYAG, India — Rescuers in northern India are working to rescue more than three dozen power plant workers trapped in a tunnel after part of a Himalayan glacier broke off and sent a wall of water and debris rushing down a mountain in a disaster that has left at least 26 people dead and 165 missing. More than 2000 members of the military, paramilitary groups and police have been taking part in search-and- rescue operations in the northern state of Uttarakhand after Sunday’s flood, which destroyed one dam, damaged another and washed homes downstream. Officials said the focus was on saving 37 workers who are stuck inside a tunnel at one of the affected hydropower plants. Heavy equipment was brought in to help clear the way through a 2.5-kilometre tunnel and reach the workers, who have been out of contact since the flood. “The tunnel is filled with debris, which has come from the river. We are using machines to clear the way,” said H Gurung, a senior official of the paramilitary Indo Tibetan Border Police. Authorities fear many more people are dead and were searching for bodies downstream using boats. They also walked along riverbanks and used binoculars to scan for bodies that might have been washed downstream. The flood was caused when a portion of the Nanda Devi glacier snapped off on PULLED FROM THE MUD ALIVE: This photograph provided by Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) shows a man reacting after he Sunday morning, releasing water trapped was pulled out from beneath the ground by ITBP personnel during rescue operations after a portion of Nanda Devi glacier broke behind it. off on Sunday.
