War crime tourists pay $3,000 to see Ukraine’s horror

War Tours, pays a wage to its tour guides – who are refugees themselves – and regularly donates funds to the war effort. But some of his competitors appear to be raking in the cash: one week-long “war tour” package reportedly offered to tourists comes with a £3,000 price tag. Clients are from the US, Britain or “small European countries”, he says, and interest in tours has risen this summer. “I think they deserve to see what’s happening here because their governments support Ukraine, and they pay for that with their taxes,” he says, adding “people have a right to know how their money is spent.” It would seem that the Ukrainian government is also keen to attract visitors. In March, the country announced a campaign to attract tourists, saying it had the infrastructure and hotels to welcome foreign travellers, albeit when the war was over. “Any money that people will spend in Ukraine will help the economy to recover,” said tourism boss Mariana Oleskiv. More than 70,000 people visited the disaster-ravaged area in 2021, with numbers peaking at almost 125,000 in 2019, three years before the war broke out.“People are interested in seeing Bucha because it’s evidence of Russian aggression in their own eyes, rather than just through the media,” he explains. But “they also wanted to see destroyed Russian vehicles, and the different kinds of drones used by both sides, as well as the famous exhibitions in Kyiv”.

Investigators Face Stunning Mystery In Midair Catastrophe

A shocking mid-air collision occurred between a commercial airliner and what appears to be a military/government Blackhawk helicopter in the Washington D.C.CNN aviation correspondent and private pilot Pete Munteen said this is extremely rare and concerning such an incident is in modern aviation.Commercial aircraft are equipped with TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) specifically designed to prevent such collisions.TCAS actively instructs pilots on vertical maneuvers to avoid other aircraft through climb or descent commands.The system was implemented as a direct response to previous mid-air collisions involving commercial aircraft.The incident represents what aviation experts call "holes in the Swiss cheese" - multiple safety failures aligning simultaneously.Commercial pilots undergo extensive training and operate with sophisticated technology, making this event particularly concerning.The Blackhawk helicopter involved suggests military or government involvement, as it's exclusively used by these entities.The aviation expert expressing shock underscores the extraordinary nature of this incident.A major investigation will be required to understand how multiple safety systems and protocols failed simultaneously."This would be an incredible lining up of the holes in the Swiss cheese, the -- the which is the saying in aviation, the gaps in the -- in the safety chain in aviation, that this happened and now investigators have an incredible amount of work cut out for them to figure out how a commercial airliner in the United States in 2025, when the pilots are incredibly trained, the technology is is incredibly sharp, collided with what is apparently a military or government helicopter. Nobody else uses the blackhawk. Yeah, it is -- it is really something else. I -- I -- I'm just stunned."
