Trump declares “no survivors” after American Airlines and military helicopter crash, emphasises national unity amid tragedy.

US President Donald Trump addressed the nation on Thursday regarding the recent mid-air crash involving American Airlines flight 5342 and a military helicopter.

During the press conference, he expressed profound sorrow, stating, “It is an hour of anguish for our nation.”

He described the incident as a significant tragedy, noting the crash occurred in Washington, D.C., resulting in both aircraft being submerged in the Potomac River.

President Trump commended the efforts of local, state, federal, and military officials, recognising their prompt response to the situation.

He confirmed that the operation had transitioned to a recovery mission and regrettably announced, “Sadly there are no survivors.”

The President highlighted that victims included both Americans and Russians as well as individuals from other nationalities, though exact details were not immediately available.

It was confirmed that US and Russian figure skaters were aboard the flight, returning from a training camp in Kansas.

In his remarks, Trump emphasised unity among citizens during this difficult time, stating that differences fade in the face of tragedy.

He remarked, “We are one family and today we are all heartbroken.”

Erin Patterson’s murder trial has increased insurance costs for mushroom foraging tours, though insurers deny a direct link.

In Short:
Erin Patterson’s trial for poisoning relatives has raised concerns about rising insurance costs for mushroom foraging tours in Australia, impacting operators like Feresh Pizarro and Natasha Vorogushin. Despite increased premiums, the Insurance Council maintains these changes are not directly related to the trial, highlighting a need for better public education on fungi.

The trial of Erin Patterson, who poisoned three relatives with death cap mushrooms, has affected mushroom foraging tours in Australia.

Operators report rising insurance costs, though the Insurance Council of Australia states these increases are unlikely linked to the trial. Patterson was recently convicted, prompting concerns among tour guides like Feresh Pizarro, who claims her insurance premiums have skyrocketed, threatening her business viability.

She explains the importance of educating the public about fungi, which play significant ecological roles. Similarly, Natasha Vorogushin from Morwell faces challenges obtaining adequate insurance for her foraging workshops, illustrating industry-wide issues.

Insurance costs

Richard Ford, a tour operator in Mount Macedon, also notes high insurance costs looming over his activities. Despite these challenges, the Insurance Council asserts that insurance adjustments often do not arise from perceived risks associated with singular events, such as Patterson’s case.

University of NSW actuarial studies professor Michael Sherris believes that while premiums are rising generally, this specific trial is unlikely to affect the insurance landscape for mushroom foraging.
