The kick-off of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Cameroon is from January 16, 2021 to February 7, 2021. The competing national teams must be composed of players playing in their domestic league.
The tournament was hit by several delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to CAF, the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon will open the event against Zimbabwe at the Ahmadou-Ahidjo Stadium in Yaoundé at 16h00 GMT.
The second match will take place between Mali and Burkina Faso at the same venue, later that evening.
According to the sports ministry, fans will be allowed into the stadiums as long as each venue is only at 25% capacity, for group as well as opening games, according to Covid-19 guidelines set out by CAF. The continent’s Covid-19 positive cases are currently over 3,1 million.
NTSB To Hold Hearing To Determine Cause Of Kobe Bryant‘S Helicopter Deadly Crash
News –World
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced that they will hold a hearing February 9, 2021 to determine the probable cause of the crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven other people.
Last June the board said the pilot of the Sikorsky S-76B helicopter that crashed outside Los Angeles into a hilly terrain likely encountered fog and became disoriented.
Pilot Ara Zobayan radioed air traffic controllers that his chopper was attempting to climb out of heavy clouds when instead it was descending before slamming into a hill near Calabasas.
The board said pilots can become confused about an aircraft’s attitude and acceleration when they are unable to see their surroundings.
“Without outside references or attention to the helicopter’s attitude display, the actual pitch and bank anglers have the potential to be misperceived,” the NTSB said in June.
Days after the tragic crash, an NTSB board member told reporters that clouds and fog caused limited visibility in the foothills north of L.A. would be a primary focus of the investigation.
In February 2020, the board said an examination of the helicopter’s engines and rotors found no evidence of “catastrophic mechanical failure.”
On January 26, 2020 Kobe and Gianna were headed to a basketball tournament at Mamba Academy in California when they died in a helicopter crash. Seven others, Payton Chester, Sarah Chester, Alyssa Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, John Altobelli, Christina Mauser, and pilot Zobayan, died in the fatal crash as well.
