Plane Aborts Plan to Land on the N332
By Simon Russell
AFTER a two seater aircraft got into difficulties the pilot initially planned to make an emergency landing on the N332 carretera near Requena in northern Valencia. Thankfully for users
of the road he instead opted to put the plane down in a field next to the road, where the pilot and his passenger escaped without serious injuries. The incident happened at around 5pm on Thursday October 6 and emergency services
were immediately dispatched to the scene where one man was transferred to hospital for precautionary tests on a head injury. It is believed the German pilot ran out of fuel while en-route to Requena-El Rebollar to visit relatives.
Spain has One of the Highest Rates of “Ninis” in the World By Simon Russell
NINI means “ni trabajan o ni estudian” or youths without work or in education and Spain is an unenviable fourth in the world table amongst developed countries on this list. An incredible 22.7% of the countries 15 to 29 year old age groups are classified as ninis with only Italy, Turkey and Greece registering higher numbers amongst OCED countries. Despite the recent signs of economic recovery the situation and prospects for many of Spain’s young people remains bleak. Youngsters without work or in schooling are viewed by many experts as those who
have given up hope of the current situation changing and most are dependant on family and the state for day to day basics. In the UK the “nini” figure is 13.6%, one of the lowest in the developed world. Turkey has the worst figures with a fraction under 30% of their young people falling into this category.
No Picnic for Cheese Thieves By Simon Russell
TWO men were arrested in Valencia accused of the theft of ham, cheese and tuna from supermarkets across the city. When confronted by staff
at one supermarket the men resorted to violence and a second charge of robbery with violence has been added to the roster. The Iberian hams stolen have a value of €125 each and the men are accused of
taking seven of these along with twelve balls of cheese and, bizarrely, four tins of tuna. Both men are believed to be well known to the local police and already have numerous police records.
