Aircraft crashes off Bequia, Grenadine island
Plane crashes near Petit Nevis after departure from J.F. Mitchell airport
Bequia Plane Crash: All 4 onboard dead
A U.S registered private aircraft carrying four individuals tragically crashed shortly after taking off from J.F. Mitchell airport on the Grenadine island of Bequia, resulting in the loss of all lives on board.
St Vincent Times understands three individuals (US residents) from the same family who were passengers lost their lives when the single-engine plane crash near Petit Nevis.
It is understood that the three passengers—an adult and two children—were on vacation in Bequia and were departing the island today.
The plane, along with its captain and three passengers, departed from Bequia shortly after midday on January 4, en-route to Hewanorra airport in St. Lucia.
Upon the occurrence of the crash, nearby fisherman promptly mobilised to the site and, in collaboration with the Coast Guard, successfully retrieved the deceased individuals.
Members of the La Pompe community recorded videos of the aircraft descending to its deadly crash. Residents told this publication that the plane emitted an unusual sound upon takeoff.
“The noise matched that of a vehicle experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient force to climb a hill”.
As per an aviation specialist, the airplane seemed to have had a stall immediately after it began its ascent.
A stall refers to a situation in aerodynamics and aviation where the lift of an aircraft starts to decrease as the angle of attack exceeds a specific threshold. The critical angle of attack refers to the specific angle at which this phenomenon takes place. If the angle of attack over the critical threshold, the lift decreases and the aircraft descends, further increasing the angle of attack and causing additional loss of lift.
The Coast Guard is currently on its way to the mainland with the retrieved corpses.
The provided information will undergo revision.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The Central Bank of Barbados (CBB) Wednesday said no fees are to be imposed for electronic transactions through Automated Clearing House (ACH) and real-time payments (RTP) transfers.
The announcement comes amid reports that the CBB, which regulates commercial banks, is investigating a plan by the Bank of Nova Scotia to make it more costly for residents to do business with it through inter-bank transfer.
Scotiabank announced on Tuesday that effective February 1, it will be introducing a fee of BDS$1.25 on the transactions of customers who use its online banking service and banking app to transfer funds from Scotia accounts to other local banks or credit unions, using RTP and ACH transfers.
The bank also informed customers that the fee would apply to in-branch transactions.
But, in a memo to the chief executive officer of commercial banks operating, CBB Governor Dr Kevin Greendige said under the National Payments Systems Act (NPSA) the central bank has responsibility for the oversight of the National Payment System, in accordance with the NPSA, “and in the execution of its duties for oversight and administration of the National Payment System, the bank shall consider the interest of consumers.
“Further, please be advised that Section 32 of the NPSA provides that the bank is empowered to establish rules to ensure transparency of conditions including fees and information requirements for payments services.”
Greenidge said with the CBB's focus on fostering the development of electronic payments, commercial banks are directed that effective January 2, 2024, “no fees are to be imposed for electronic transactions through the ACH, inclusive of RTP transactions.”
In addition, the CBB informed commercial banks that “any fees which are presently charged for electronic transactions through the ACH shall be immediately discontinued.”

As prized shoals of flying fish move away from Barbados and closer to Tobago, decades-old tensions between the islands are growing over fisheries, sustainability and territorial waters
Artificial intelligence’s integration into everyday life has stirred up doubts and unsettling questions for many about humanity’s path forward. But in Anguilla, a tiny Caribbean island to the east of Puerto Rico, the A.I. boom has made the country a fortune.
The British territory collects a fee from every registration for internet addresses that end in “.ai,” which happens to be the domain name assigned to the island, like “.fr” for France and “.jp” for Japan. With companies wanting internet addresses that communicate they are at the forefront of the A.I. boom — like Elon Musk’s X.ai website for his artificial intelligence company — Anguilla has recently received a huge influx in requests for domain names.
For each domain registration, Anguilla’s government gets anywhere from $140 to thousands of dollars from website names sold at auctions, according government data. Last year, Anguilla’s government made about $32 million from those fees.
