Chinese Buisnessman Zhang Zhirong Keeps Billionaire Standing Amid Latest Bad News

The last time billionaire Zhang Zhirong made major international headlines was last October after a company he controls settled a U.S. insider trading case in connection with Chinese government-controlled Cnooc Cnooc?s purchase of Canadian energy firm Nexen Nexen. ??Zhang afterward gave up the chairmanship of his two major listed companies, shipbuilder China Rongsheng and real estate developer Glorious Property, to ?devote more time to his personal endeavors.?

Problems at China Rongsheng, where he still owns a 29% stake, have Zhang back in the news. Shares in the Hong Kong-traded company have plunged 31% since July 2. China Rongsheng, facing slack demand for ships, on July 4 projected a loss for the first half of 2013 and confirmed some job cuts.

On Thursday, shareholders got some relief when China Rongsheng rose for the first time since July 2, but it fell 1.2% again on Friday. Buyers are hoping that the company can find financial support from ?the Chinese government.? China Rongsheng?s efforts to diversify business beyond shipbuilding haven?t been successful fast enough to offset the drag from its core business.

At least Zhang can take heart that he isn?t likely to lose his billionaire standing anytime soon. His stake in real estate developer Glorious and disposals of shares in his listed companies over the years will keep him well over that level. ?Among those sales, Zhang in January sold a 7% stake in China Rongsheng to current chairman Chen Qiang.

?Zhang ranked No. 736 on the 2013 Forbes Billionaires List released in March with wealth of $2 billion.

It would be cool to have something like this in my fishing boat where instead of a dot on the screen I could get something that tells me where the fish are and what kind too.:-)

At what point do you stop cheating and start fishing? What's so wrong with having intuition about where the fish are? There are plenty of tell-tale signs that would give you clues to where the fish are hiding.

I admit, I don't boat fish because it's absolutely way too boring. I prefer walking up the mountain river, pickup up river stones to see what bugs are underneath. Maybe boat fishing is just too different an animal that my tactics would not adapt well, but I doubt it. With enough experience, I am posit

West rebukes Putin over Syria before G8 meeting

ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland (Reuters) - Western leaders rebuked Russian President Vladimir Putin for supporting Syria's Bashar al-Assad in his battle to crush an uprising, setting the stage for what could be a tense two-day G8 summit. U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to use his first face-to-face meeting with Putin in a year to try to convince the Kremlin chief to bring Assad to the negotiating table to end the two-year-old conflict.

Turkey could deploy army to quell protests

ANKARA/ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's deputy prime minister said on Monday the armed forces could be called up if needed to help quell popular protests that have swept Turkish cities in the last two weeks, the first time the possibility of a military role has been raised. Bulent Arinc made the remarks in Ankara, where 1,000 striking trade union workers faced off briefly against police backed by several water cannon, before police retreated and the crowd dispersed.

NSA leaker Snowden says no chance of fair trial in U.S.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who exposed the U.S. government's secret phone and Internet surveillance programs, said in an online forum on Monday that he could not get a fair trial in the United States. "The U.S. government, just as they did with other whistleblowers, immediately and predictably destroyed any possibility of a fair trial at home, openly declaring me guilty of treason and that the disclosure of secret, criminal and even unconstitutional acts is an unforgivable crime. That's not justice," he said on the Guardian newspaper website.

Putin, Obama face off over Syria; rebels get Saudi missiles

ENISKILLEN, Northern Ireland/DUBAI (Reuters) - Rebels fought to halt an advance by President Bashar al-Assad's forces into northern Syria on Monday while U.S. President Barack Obama faced a showdown with Russia's Vladimir Putin over Obama's decision last week to arm the insurgents. New evidence emerged of escalating foreign support for the rebels, with a Gulf source telling Reuters that Saudi Arabia had equipped fighters for the first time with shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, their most urgent request. Rebels said Riyadh had also sent them anti-tank missiles.

Iran's Rohani hopes all will seize chance of friendly ties

DUBAI (Reuters) - President-elect Hassan Rohani held out the prospect on Monday of better relations between Iran and the world, including the United States, and progress on resolving the nuclear dispute. But the moderate cleric who scored a surprise election victory on Friday insisted Washington and the West must recognize what he said was Tehran's right to enrich uranium, not interfere in Iran's internal affairs and end their hostility.

Portuguese teachers boycott exams in anti-austerity strike

LISBON (Reuters) - Thousands of teachers across Portugal walked away from final exams held at secondary schools on Monday to protest against planned spending cuts in education, leaving many pupils unable to take the tests, unions said. The cuts are among the most recent austerity measures proposed by Portugal's center-right administration to meet the fiscal targets of an EU/IMF bailout. Portugal is in the third year of its worst economic recession since the 1970s and unemployment is at a record 18 percent.

AU commission chief says up to Zimbabwe to sort out election row

GENEVA (Reuters) - Zimbabweans themselves must resolve a row over President Robert Mugabe's decision to call an election on July 31, the head of the African Union commission said on Monday. Zimbabwe's Constitutional Court ordered Mugabe two weeks ago to hold the poll by the end of July, but Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has rejected his rival's declaration, saying it was too early and accusing him of creating a political crisis.

Protests to give new turn to Egypt revolution

CAIRO (Reuters) - Does Egypt face a new revolution? Millions hope so, it seems; they have signed a national petition demanding the president resign and plan to take to the streets on June 30, when Mohamed Mursi marks a year in office.

Indonesia MPs approve package paving way for fuel price hike

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's parliament approved compensation measures for the poor on Monday that the government has demanded before it would agree to cut costly fuel price subsidies which are blamed for undermining confidence in Southeast Asia's biggest economy. The decision to raise fuel prices, by an average 33 percent, rests with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Government officials have repeatedly stated that the price rises would follow shortly after the parliamentary decision.

Bulgarian PM vows transparency on security chief issue

SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria's prime minister pledged on Monday to seek wide public support in picking a new head of state security after street protests forced the two-week old Socialist-led government to ditch its original candidate. Thousands of Bulgarians rallied to demand the government's resignation after it named a powerful media figure to the highly sensitive post without debate, a move critics said showed the lack of transparency in the European Union's poorest country.

ISTANBUL (AP) ? A Turkish activist says protesters have agreed to press on with their 2-week-long sit-in at a cherished Istanbul park, despite government appeals and warnings for the standoff with authorities to end.

Tayfun Kahraman made the comment to The Associated Press on Saturday after a series of discussions among protesters in Gezi Park to decide on their next move.

He was one of two activists in Taksim Solidarity, an umbrella group of protest movements, who had met with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan a day earlier.

Tom Cruise's best role: Maverick or Maguire?

By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, TODAY

Maverick, or Jerry Maguire? The toothy "Top Gun" pilot, or the toothy sports agent who wants to show Cuba Gooding Jr. the money?

TriStar Pictures, Getty file

Tom Cruise in "Jerry Maguire," at left, and "Top Gun."

?

Tom Cruise has been playing heroes and hunks since the 1980s -- it's as natural to him as the daily commute is to us. He'll tackle another role this week, playing drone repairman Jack Harper in the futuristic world of a shattered Earth in the new movie "Oblivion."

But what's his #1 best role, the iconic character that simply screams Cruise? Let's run through the contenders.

Jon Furniss / AP

Early roles: Sometimes you just have to say ...
Sometimes, a first encounter never fades. Cruise had roles in "Taps," "The Outsiders," "All the Right Moves" and even "Endless Love" before he hit it big as high-schooler Joel Goodson in "Risky Business." But there's no doubt that it was Joel, with his Ray-Bans and his encounter with Guido the Killer Pimp, who cemented the image of Cruise as a handsome smoothie with charm to spare.

Serious drama, from brothers in arms to a new brother
Cruise didn't just reach for the easy, crowd-pleasing roles -- sometimes he played men who were struggling, internally and externally. In "Rain Man," he played car dealer Charlie Babbitt, who must come to terms with the autistic brother (Dustin Hoffman) he never knew. In "Born on the Fourth of July," he hid his magazine-cover looks to portray Vietnam vet Ron Kovic, confined to a wheelchair and disillusioned by the war he fought. And in "Magnolia," Cruise was nominated for an Oscar for the role of Frank, written especially for him by Paul Thomas Anderson. In his dramatic roles, Cruise found a new path -- the handsome guy who has to fall down before he can get up again stronger and smarter.

Poking fun at himself?
Is that Tom Cruise? Really? The star proved he could laugh at himself, and steal every scene he was in, when he played balding, dumpy Les Grossman ?in "Tropic Thunder." This image will never be the first mental picture we keep of Cruise, but it went a long way towards bringing back some fans who'd been turned off by the actor thanks to his Oprah couch-jumping and other public missteps. (Watch Grossman's famed dance here, note explicit lyrics in background.)

Action hero
There's no question Cruise looks like an action hero -- all except for his 5-foot-something height. But he measured up when he took on the "Mission: Impossible" franchise and the role of Ethan Hunt. Cruise especially shone in the sequel, "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol," which featured some terrifying stunts off the world's tallest building, Dubai's?Burj Khalifa. And Cruise acquitted himself admirably as drifter hero "Jack Reacher" in the 2012 film based on Lee Child's books, although his height was an issue to fans of Child's novels, in which Reacher's height is a big part of his character.

Maverick vs. Maguire
Yet when it comes right down to it, two roles rise above the rest.

In 1986's?"Top Gun," Cruise's model looks and boyish charm helped him create headstrong Maverick, the naval aviator with the need for speed. A tragedy involving a friend shakes his world, but he battles back, with the help of new love Charlie (Kelly McGillis) and unexpected friendship from an unlikely corner (Val Kilmer's Iceman). In a way, the Maverick role was everything Cruise did best -- he was handsome, daring, reckless, beaten down by tragedy and resurrected by courage under fire. It's hard not to hear Cruise's name and picture the cocky thumbs-up pose from the "Top Gun" poster.

But a full decade later, Cruise took on the title role in "Jerry Maguire," and while he was just as cocky and handsome as ever, something had changed. This was a more adult Cruise, breaking out on his own as a sports agent due to a sudden attack of conscience. Cruise managed not one, not two, but three strong relationships in this film. Cuba Gooding Jr. demanded Cruise "show him the money," Renee Zellweger assured him "you had me at hello," and little Jonathan Lipnicki brought out his fatherly instincts.

Would Maverick have turned into Jerry Maguire 10 years down the line, with a different career under his belt and a little boy in his life? Maybe. Cruise is nothing if not consistent, and his roles, from the self-parodying Les Grossman to the boyish Joel Goodson, always somehow reflect the movie star and the man. Vote and tell us if Maverick, Jerry Maguire, or another role is Cruise's absolute best.

Exclusive: SocGen mulls up to 700 job cuts ? union sources

By Editor - Fri Apr 05, 5:04 pm

By Lionel Laurent and Matthias Blamont PARIS (Reuters) ? French bank Societe Generale may cut between 600 and 700 jobs as part of a broader cost-cutting drive in the face of stagnant growth in its home market, three union sources told Reuters on Friday. SocGen management met with unions on Wednesday to discuss the proposals, which have not yet been finalized, the sources said. The cuts, which will largely target back office staff in IT and compliance roles, will be partly offset by up to 100 new jobs created elsewhere, they added. ?

Mistakes Are Costing You! Learn To Stop?Making ALL 189 Of Them!

Buying the right insurance for your car is essential to prevent financial difficulties when an accident occurs. The article below will describe how to ask the right questions from your broker or agent, what coverage to buy and how to avoid duplicate coverage. Read the article and ask the right questions from your insurance professional.

Try to keep a good driving records. Having tickets or accidents on your driving record can raise your rates on your insurance policy. There are times when you can?t avoid the accident or ticket, so you should check out traffic school to see if this will help clean your record and make your insurance premiums lower.

Getting married, especially if you are an under-25 male driver, can save you a significant amount on your car insurance. There are people that have found they saved almost 40% on their insurance after getting married. If there is a significant other in your life, walking them down the aisle might walk down your insurance premiums.

TIP! Don?t sign up without doing your research if your insurer offers you used parts to fulfill your warranty. The majority of auto manufacturers and repair shops provide a warranty on their work.

Don?t overlook the option of having a lower premium by choosing a higher deductible. Raising the price of the deductible on your policy has the largest influence on the cost of your insurance. Of course, you will be held responsible for paying the deductible if you are involved in an accident. To cover the cost of that accident, having an emergency fund in place will be helpful.

It might be a good idea to remove car rental coverage, if it is part of your insurance policy. You probably never use it, even though you pay for it. If you?re trying to cut back the amount you have to pay, it may be worth removing it. Just remember that you won?t have that option should you actually need it.

TIP! Keeping your license clean is crucial when it comes to how much you pay for insurance. When accidents and tickets are on your driving record, your insurance costs can go through the roof.

To get the cheapest insurance rate, list all the safety features of your car. You will find that safety features like air bags and alarms will get you a better rate on your insurance bill because of their ability to reduce future claims. Even after-market safety features help to reduce your insurance policy cost.

The best thing you can do to to keep your car insurance payments low is to maintain a spotless driving record. Nothing sends your insurance payments skyrocketing as rapidly as a driving accident. If you are at risk of getting in an accident try to avoid the situation. For example, if you have trouble with your vision at night, avoid driving after daylight hours.

When your claim is less that $25,000 you should try to settle it without the assistance of lawyers. It is important to simply work with claims adjusters to settle on an agreement. Often, the cost of an attorney excedes what he or she might save you in court.

TIP! In most states you are required to have a liability insurance in order to get your car on the road. All citizens should know how much insurance coverage is necessary in your state.

Only insure those drivers who actually use your car. This can help keep you from paying too much for auto insurance. Your premium will be reduced if you remove drivers from your policy. Since driver under 25 pay higher rates, you can lower your monthly insurance premium by removing young drivers from your policy.

Get rates from many different insurance companies before you select the right one for your automobile. You may have to search for the ideal rate.

Keep on file all records of all insurance bills you paid. This is great if you ever run into any problems with your insurance provider as you now have physical proof.

TIP! If you want lower car insurance premiums, think about raising the deductibles of the policy. Because people with higher deductibles typically file fewer claims, insurance companies typically charge less for customers who maintain a high deductible.

When you are considering car insurance quotes, the amount of your annual premium will cost is just a minimal part of the factors you need to consider. You also need to familiarize yourself with the details of a policy, such as the amount of the deductible, the coverage levels and the limitations of any benefits.

Coverage on policies can vary; therefore, it is important to understand what coverage is included in your policy. There are coverages for a wide array of insurance needs. In order to get other types of coverage, including collision and comprehensive, you need to actively request them. Make sure the coverage you are paying for covers what you need it to cover.

Usually, you will end up paying a larger amount than someone who has a clean record. Some insurance companies even help drivers who have a few bad records get a good rate.

TIP! By choosing the deductible that is the highest amount, your premium will be the lowest it can be. A higher deductible means you will have to cover the cost of minor accidents, but you will still be covered in the event of a total loss or if you cause an accident.

Car insurance can save your life in the event of an accident. Choosing the right coverage is important, as a crash can ruin your life if you can?t pay the associated costs. Use the helpful information you learned here to help you obtain the coverage that is right for you.

Bank of England leaves rates, QE unchanged

LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England left monetary policy unchanged on Thursday, voting as expected to stick with last month's decision not to buy more government bonds to bolster Britain's stagnant economy.

The decision comes despite finance minister George Osborne saying on Wednesday that Britain's economy would grow much more slowly than expected over the next three years and that a key debt reduction goal would not be met.

The forecasts also showed Britain's economy was likely to shrink over the last three months of 2012 - a prospect reinforced by weak trade data earlier on Thursday and downbeat purchasing managers' surveys this week.

After a two-day meeting, the BoE's nine-member Monetary Policy Committee said its main interest rate would stay at a record-low 0.5 percent and it would not add to the 375 billion pounds ($603 billion) of bonds it has bought so far.

None of the 66 economists polled by Reuters last week had expected a change in interest rates or in the BoE's quantitative easing bond buying total, and there was no immediate market reaction to the decision.

"October's rise in inflation, the deal to transfer interest receipts ... to the government as well as doubts about the impact of more QE in the current economic environment, makes it reluctant to do more," said Joost Beaumont, an economist at Dutch bank ABN AMRO.

Britain recorded economic growth of 1.0 percent in the third quarter of 2012, marking an end to nine months of recession - its second since the 2008-09 financial crisis.

But most of the rebound was driven by a technical bounce due to the London Olympics and extra public holidays in the preceding quarter.

STICKY INFLATION

Last month's decision not to loosen monetary policy further was driven by an unexpectedly big jump in inflation in October to 2.7 percent, as well as a government decision to take back gilt interest paid to the BoE, which was tantamount to about 35 billion pounds of extra asset purchases.

Consumer price inflation has been above the BoE's 2 percent target since December 2009.

Economists are roughly split on whether the BoE will restart asset purchases in future. However, any restart is not expected before February at the earliest, when the BoE publishes its next quarterly economic update.

"Doubts over the momentum of the recovery suggest there will still be some serious discussions over whether to sanction further asset purchases," said Investec economist Philip Shaw.

"Our own view is that the economy will show some signs of life again over the next couple of months and that inflation will climb above 3 percent early next year, and so we do not expect the MPC to extend QE in 2013. But this could be a close run thing," he added.

BoE Governor Mervyn King and his deputy governor Charlie Bean both left the door open to future asset purchases in statements last week, while one MPC member, Paul Fisher, told a parliament committee that the economy might well need more stimulus early next year.

Analysts were also surprised when Ben Broadbent, whom most place at the more hawkish end of the MPC, said he had mulled further stimulus in November.

In the longer term, the future of the BoE's asset purchases will lie in the hands of King's successor, current Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, who takes over in London in July.

A further key factor will be the success of the BoE's Funding for Lending Scheme, which started in August and aims to spur lending and lower households' and firms' borrowing costs by offering banks cheap finance if they lend more.

Facebook?s Comeback Continues: $FB Set To Replace Infosys On The NASDAQ 100 Next Week

Facebook's stock price has taken a fairly consistent pummeling since its IPO on NASDAQ in May, as the company has provided its shareholders with plenty of reasons to worry about $FB. However, beginning in the third week of November, the stock began to mount a comeback, as its stock hit a four-month high on November 21st, the highest it had been since the first lockup expirations took place. In the meantime, Facebook has begun to offer answers to these questions, and it seems that NASDAQ is now poised to respond. NBC is reporting tonight that Facebook will replace Infosys on the NASDAQ 100 Index on December 12th, about seven months after its IPO.

A Brain-Based Explanation For Why Old People Get Scammed

There never was a Mayberry and people were just as dishonest then as they are now

I have to disagree at least for the US. Over the past half century a lot of rural places have changed from not locking one's doors to widespread theft of agricultural equipment and various manifestations of the drug war, such as marijuana growing and meth labs.

Another place is college. Try leaving a laptop or bicycle unlocked and unattended. Fifty years ago you could have gotten away with it except for perhaps the most urbanized colleges.

It is worth noting that just as there is the myth of Mayberry, there's also the myth of the Children of the Corn, namely, that small towns have "dark secrets". My view is that small towns were more honest because that is what it takes for a small, isolated society where everyone knows everyone, to survive. It also becomes much harder for dishonesty to profit. You have a small set of possible targets, and they'll figure it out eventually.

When you get large urban societies or a massive, flat society like the internet, potential con artists can easily move from one mark to the next as well as filter through large numbers of potential targets for a mark. Thieves have a sea of targets to choose from. The payoff for dishonesty and theft is much better.

So I agree that the people haven't really changed. But the payoffs for various sorts of dishonesty have changed.

Ship sinks off Dutch coast, 4 dead, 7 crew missing

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) ? Four crew members died and seven were missing in the icy waters of the North Sea, after a cargo ship collided with another vessel and sank off the Dutch coast Wednesday night, rescuers said.

"We can confirm that four bodies have been found, along with 13 people rescued alive," said Coast Guard spokesman Marcel Oldenburger.

He said a massive air and sea rescue operation involving several helicopters, two navy patrol ships and even one of the ships involved in the collision would continue through the night in an effort to find the remaining seven sailors.

Another Coast Guard spokesman, Peter Verburg, said in the early hours of Thursday that the search was carrying on even though "the chance of finding anyone alive now is virtually zero."

"We are doing all we can, but time is overtaking us," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

The 148-meter (485-foot) Baltic Ace collided with the 134-meter (440-foot) container ship Corvus J in darkness near busy shipping lanes some 65 kilometers (40 miles) off the coast of the southern Netherlands. The Baltic Ace, carrying a cargo of cars, had a crew of 24 which was forced to abandon ship as it sank quickly.

By around 10 p.m. (2100 GMT), 11 crew members had been rescued by helicopters and two more by ships, the coast guard said in a statement. Rescuers were using infrared cameras to hunt for more survivors.

"We still hope to find them," Kees Brinkman, a spokesman for rescuers, told Dutch television nearly four hours after the collision. But, he added, "their chances of survival are shrinking" if they are in the water.

The Dutch Defense Ministry said in a statement two navy patrol ships were aiding the search. "Helicopters are trying, in (strong wind) and high waves to bring the people to safety," the ministry said.

Verburg said the 12-man crew of the Corvus J was still on board the ship, which was helping in the rescue operation. Details of its cargo were not immediately available. "It is badly damaged, but not in danger of sinking," Verburg said of the Corvus J.

The coast guard spokesman said the cause of the collision was not known. "At the moment we are solely focused on getting the people to safety," he said. Four of the survivors were being flown to a hospital in Rotterdam and seven to an airbase in Belgium.

The Baltic Ace, sailing under a Bahamas flag, was heading from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge to Kotka in Finland, and the Cyprus-registered Corvus J was on its way from Grangemouth in Scotland to Antwerp, Belgium.

Highway tunnel ceiling slabs fall in Japan, kill 9

TOKYO (AP) ? Concrete ceiling slabs fell onto moving vehicles deep inside a long Japanese highway tunnel, and authorities confirmed nine deaths before suspending rescue work Monday while the roof was being reinforced to prevent more collapses.

Two vehicles caught fire in the accident Sunday morning, and heavy smoke initially hindered rescue efforts. The location of the accident about 1.7 kilometers (a mile) inside the 4.7-kilometer (3-mile) long Sasago Tunnel was also making the work difficult.

The nine dead were traveling in three vehicles in the tunnel about 80 kilometers (50 miles) west of Tokyo on a highway that links the capital to central Japan. The tunnel opened in 1977 and is one of many in the mountainous country.

The search was suspended Monday morning while the highway operator does work to support the remaining slabs in the ceiling, said Jun Goto, an official at the Fire and Disaster Management Agency. It's expected to resume by afternoon.

Goto said it's not clear if there are other survivors.

Police and the highway operator Central Japan Expressway Co. were investigating why the concrete slabs collapsed. An inspection of the tunnel's roof in September found nothing amiss, according to Satoshi Noguchi, a company official.

An estimated 270 concrete slabs, each weighing 1.4 metric tons (1.54 short tons), suspended from the arched roof of the tunnel fell over a stretch of about 110 meters (120 yards), Noguchi said.

The operator was exploring the possibility that bolts holding a metal piece suspending the panels above the road had become aged, he said. The panels, measuring about 5 meters (16 feet) by 1.2 meters (4 feet), and 8 centimeters (3 inches) thick, were installed when the tunnel was constructed in 1977.

Company President and CEO Takekazu Kaneko said that the company was inspecting other tunnels of similar structure, including a parallel tunnel for traffic going in the opposite direction. Both sections of the highway were shut down indefinitely.

Two people suffered injuries in the collapse.

MIAMI (AP) ? At Miami International Airport, two large signs warn drivers of large vehicles not to pass beneath the 8-foot-6 inch concrete overpass. Authorities say two passengers are dead and others have been critically injured after a too-tall charter bus smashed into the overpass, crumpling metal.

One of the signs attached to the top of the concrete barrier reads: "High Vehicle STOP Turn Left." The other, placed to the left of the driveway and several feet in front of the barrier, says all vehicles higher than the 8-foot-6 threshold must turn left.

Authorities said the large, white bus carrying 32 members of a church group hit the overpass after the driver got lost Saturday, killing two male passengers and leaving three other passengers critically injured.

Airport spokesman Greg Chin said the bus was too tall for the entrance to the arrivals area and that buses are supposed to go through the departures area because of its higher clearance.

The bus was going about 20 mph when it struck the overpass Saturday morning, Chin added. News photographs showed the front of the vehicle's rooftop crumpled beneath the overpass.

Osvaldo Lopez, an officer with the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, said he heard a loud noise Saturday morning and rushed to help. He said he went inside the bus and found several passengers tossed into the center aisle. He said the passengers, many of whom were elderly, remained calm.

"It was just very bloody," he added.

Police said that one man, Serafin Castillo, 86, of Miami, died at the scene. A second man identified by authorities as Francisco Urana, 56, also of Miami, died later at a hospital.

Chin said passengers told him they were part of a group of Jehovah's Witnesses headed to West Palm Beach. Police said in a news release that the group had chartered the bus to take them to a church convention there.

The group was made up of congregation members of Sweetwater's Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, said Sweetwater Mayor Manny Marono.

"This is a tragic accident that has affected many families, as well as, our Sweetwater family," Marono said in a statement.

A phone number listed for the center in Sweetwater went unanswered in the hours after the crash.

Three people were at hospitals in critical condition. The other 27 surviving passengers were hurt, but their injuries were less extensive, authorities said.

Eight of the 14 patients initially taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital were in stable condition while two others were in critical, said hospital spokeswoman Lidia Amoretti. Local reports said three people with lesser injuries were later released.

A majority of the injuries were facial due to the frontal impact, said Miami-Dade Police spokesman Det. Alvaro Zabaleta.

He said the driver was not familiar with the airport area and it was too early to say if charges would be filed. Investigators said they had conducted interviews Saturday with the driver, who suffered minor injuries.

"The preliminary info tells us that he wasn't too familiar with the area surrounding the airport, and that's what led him to take perhaps the wrong ramp that led him onto the property of the airport, and because of not being familiar with the airport, did not know or really see the height requirement in order for that bus to clear the overpass," Zabaleta said.

The bus was privately owned and typically used for tours, authorities said.

Markings on the bus show it was owned by Miami Bus Service Corp.

The company owns three motor coaches, according to the records. Miami Bus Service Corp. officials did not immediately respond to a phone message Saturday.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration records found online show the company has had no violations for unsafe driving or controlled substances and alcohol. It also had not reported any crashes in the two years before Oct. 26, 2012.

The records show it did receive three citations related to driver fatigue in April 2011.
