 Renowned 20th-century philosopher Jürgen Habermas dies at 96 Jürgen Habermas, the German philosopher widely recognized for his contributions to modern political thought and democratic theory, died Saturday in Starnberg, Germany, at the age of 96. His passing was confirmed in a statement by his Berlin-based publisher, Suhrkamp Verlag, which noted that Habermas’s work, translated into more than 40 languages, had left a lasting impact on global intellectual discourse. Jonathan Landgrebe, head of the publishing house, described him as “a significant philosopher, ever-present advisor, and dear friend.” For more than six decades, Habermas helped shape postwar and post-reunification German political life. He is best known for conceptualizing the “public sphere,” a domain for discussion free from state influence, which he argued is essential for a functioning democracy.

CHILLING LAST WORDS OF PILOTS OF CRASHED BRAZIL PLANE REVEALED. (PHOTO).



Chilling last words of pilots of crashed Brazil plane revealed


The black box recording from a Brazilian plane that crashed killing all 62 people on board reveals the last words from the pilots.

 

Investigators now have the full transcript of the cockpit audio from the Voepass ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop which plunged from the sky in the city of Vinhedo last week.


The two-hour recording indicates the co-pilot noticed a steep loss of altitude around a minute before the crash, according to TV Globo.


He then asked the pilot what was going on and said the aircraft needed "more power" to be stabilised.


The pilots noted a steep loss of altitude in the minute before the plane hit the ground. The recording also captured screaming of those on board.


Flight tracker website FlightRadar24 noted the plane's transponder recorded a vertical speed of between 8,000 and 24,000 feet per minute in its final 60 seconds in the air.


 

Brazil’s air accident investigation centre Cenipa did not comment on the contents of the TV Globo report.

 

The plane, an ATR-72 turboprop, was bound for Sao Paulo from Cascavel, in the southern state of Parana, when it crashed at around 1.30pm in Vinhedo, some 50 miles northwest of Sao Paulo.

 

The crash killed all on board but no one on the ground was hurt.

 

Video shared on social media showed the plane spinning out of control as it plunged down behind a cluster of trees near houses, sending a large plume of black smoke into the air.
