ORLANDO, Fla. - The forensic investigation into how 14-year-old Tyre Sampson fell to his death from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower ride at ICON Park concluded that one of the ride's harness sensors had been manually adjusted, falsely providing a safety OK, when Sampson was, in fact, not properly secured, according to the report's findings.Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said that findings by Quest Engineering, a forensics company hired by the state, determined that the operator of the Orlando FreeFall made manual adjustments to the ride's harness sensor "resulting in it being unsafe.""The report confirms that manual adjustments had been made to the sensor for the seat in question that allowed the harness to restraints opening to be almost double that of the normal restraints opening range," Fried said during a Monday afternoon press conference."These misadjustments allowed the safety lights to illuminate improperly satisfying the rides electronic safety mechanisms, that allowed the ride to operate even though Mr. Sampson was not properly secured in the seat."You can view a copy of Quest Engineering's report below.Fried said that there are many other potential contributing factors that may have played a role in the incident and the investigation continues. The drop tower will remain closed indefinitely, Fried said. Fried promised earlier this month a "complete and thorough investigation" into how Tyre Sampson fell from the Orlando FreeFall drop tower at ICON Park.

The New York Times, the WHO pegged extra deaths above the pre-covid norm at about 15 million globally by the end of 2021. This figure, which includes indirect losses from a healthcare crunch caused by a covid crowding-out, is around 9 million above the combined tally reported by governments. India, with an official covid death toll of roughly 520,000, was estimated to account for at least 4 million deaths. While this broadly conforms with independent studies by other agencies, it has evoked a sharp response from New Delhi, which has sought to poke holes in the methodology that was used for it. As the controversy draws global attention, the validity of our stance is likely to face scrutiny around the globe.

SriLankan wishes to emphasize that this cargo order was undertaken for commercial reasons only, it added.The details of the cargo consignment were withheld due to contractual obligations as per air cargo industry standards said the statement.However, in response to concerns raised following the statement the national carrier tweeted to say that the Ugandan government ordered Ugandan currency notes from a global security printer who operates several factories worldwide, including one in Sri Lanka, exporting to global markets.It went on to note that SriLankan aircraft which were underutilized at this time (2021) during the pandemic were chartered by a UK-based freight forwarder.What is now being misunderstood is the Airline Pilots Guild’s proud announcement of this achievement of using unutilized pax aircraft, it added.
