തേക്കടിയില്‍ വന്‍ ബോട്ട് ദുരന്തം

കുമളി: തേക്കടിയില്‍ വന്‍ ബോട്ട് ദുരന്തം. 76 വിനോദ സഞ്ചാരികള്‍ കയറിയ ബോട്ട് മുങ്ങി നിരവധി പേര്‍ മരിച്ചു. കെ.ടി.ഡി.സി.യുടെ ജലകന്യക എന്ന ബോട്ടാണ് അപകടത്തില്‍ പെട്ടത്. 26 പേരുടെ മരണം പോലീസ് സ്ഥിരീകരിച്ചു. രക്ഷാപ്രവര്‍ത്തനം പുരോഗമിക്കുന്നു. മരണസംഖ്യ ഉയരാന്‍ സാധ്യതയുണ്ട്. പേരിയാര്‍ ആസ്​പത്രിയില്‍ മാത്രം 18 പേരുടെ മൃതദേഹങ്ങള്‍ സൂക്ഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. എട്ട് സ്ത്രീകളുടെയും ആറ് കുട്ടികളുടെയും നാല് പുരുഷന്മാരുടെയും മൃതദേഹങ്ങളാണ് പെരിയാര്‍ ആസ്​പത്രിയിലുള്ളത്.

അഞ്ച് മൃതദേഹങ്ങള്‍ 66 ാം മൈലിലുള്ള സെന്റ് അഗസ്റ്റിന്‍ ആസ്​പത്രിയിലുണ്ട്. ഗവണ്‍മെന്റ് ആസ്​പത്രിയിലും ഒരാളുടെ മൃതദേഹം സൂക്ഷിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. 20 പേരെ രക്ഷപെടുത്താന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്. കരയിലെത്തിച്ചവരില്‍ പലരും അവശനിലയിലാണ്. രക്ഷപെടുത്തിയവരില്‍ പലരേയും പ്രാഥമിക ചികിത്സയ്ക്ക് ശേഷം കോട്ടയം മെഡിക്കല്‍ കോളജിലേക്ക് കൊണ്ടുപോയി.

വൈകീട്ട് 4 മണിയോടെ മുല്ലപ്പെരിയാറിലേക്ക് പോകുകയായിരുന്ന ബോട്ടാണ് മണക്കവല എന്ന ഭാഗത്ത് വെച്ച് മറിഞ്ഞത്. ബോട്ട് ലാന്‍ഡിങ്ങില്‍ നിന്ന് ഏകദേശം 12 കിലോമീറ്റര്‍ അകലെയാണ് അപകടം നടന്നത്. വന്യമൃഗങ്ങളെ കാണുന്നതിനായി ബോട്ടിലുണ്ടായിരുന്നവര്‍ കൂട്ടത്തോടെ ഒരു വശത്തേക്ക് നീങ്ങിയതാവാം അപകടകാരണമെന്ന് സംശയിക്കുന്നു. കര്‍ണാടകത്തില്‍ നിന്നുള്ളവരാണ് ബോട്ടിലുണ്ടായിരുന്നവരില്‍ ഏറെയും. ചില വിദേശികളും ബോട്ടിലുണ്ടായിരുന്നു.

സ്​പീഡ് ബോട്ടുകളിലും കെ.ടി.ഡി.സിയുടെ മറ്റ് ബോട്ടിലുമായി പോലീസും ഫയര്‍ഫോഴ്‌സും സംഭവസ്ഥലത്ത് നിന്ന് അപകടത്തില്‍ പെട്ടവരുമായി കരയിലേക്ക് എത്തിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുകയാണ്. ബോട്ട് തലകീഴായി മറിഞ്ഞനിലയിലാണെന്ന് ദൃക്‌സാക്ഷികള്‍ പറഞ്ഞു. മൃതദേഹങ്ങള്‍ തേക്കടി, പെരിയാര്‍ ആസ്​പത്രികളിലായി സൂക്ഷിച്ചിരിക്കുകയാണ്. 10 പേരെ രക്ഷിക്കാന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്. ഇവര്‍ ആസ്​പത്രിയില്‍ ചികിത്സയിലാണ്. രക്ഷപെട്ടവരില്‍ രണ്ട് പേര്‍ മുംബൈ സ്വദേശികളാണ്.

നാട്ടുകാരും സംഭവസ്ഥലത്തേക്ക് പോയിട്ടുണ്ട്. രണ്ട് മാസം മുമ്പ് സര്‍വീസ് തുടങ്ങിയ ബോട്ടാണ് അപകടത്തില്‍ പെട്ടത്.
തേക്കടിയിലുണ്ടായ ബോട്ട് ദുരന്തത്തില്‍ രക്ഷാപ്രവര്‍ത്തനത്തിന് നാവികസേനയുടെ സഹായം സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ തേടി. 40 മുങ്ങല്‍ വിദഗ്ധര്‍ അടങ്ങുന്ന നാവികസേനാ സംഘം കൊച്ചിയില്‍ നിന്ന് തേക്കടിയിലേക്ക് പുറപ്പെട്ടു. നാവികസേനയുടെ സഹായം ലഭ്യമാക്കാന്‍ പ്രതിരോധ മന്ത്രി എ.കെ ആന്റണി നിര്‍ദേശം നല്‍കിക്കഴിഞ്ഞു

Indian spacecraft finds water on the moon

Indian spacecraft finds water on the moon

Bangalore/Chennai, Sep 24: In a sensational scientific discovery, India's maiden lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 has found evidence of water on the moon.

"The moon has distinct signatures of water," top American scientist Carle Pieters confirmed Thursday.

"The evidence of water molecules on the surface of the moon was found by the moon mineralogy mapper (M3) of the US-based National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on board Chandrayaan-1," M3 principal investigator Carle Pieters said in a paper published in the journal Science.

M3 was one of the 11 scientific instruments on board the lunar spacecraft that was launched Oct 22, 2008 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The mission was aborted Aug 30 after Chandrayaan-1 lost radio contact with Earth.

Crediting ISRO for its role in the findings, Pieters said: "If it were not for them (ISRO), we would not have been able to make this discovery."

ISRO chairman G. Madhavan Nair had told the media Wednesday that he could not yet confirm the presence of water on the moon, but "before the end of this week, we will let you know".

However, confirming the finding and terming it a major discovery, Pieters said the discovery of water on the lunar surface would reinvigorate studies of the moon and potentially change thinking on how it originated.

"Hydroxyl, a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom, were discovered across the entire surface of the Earth's nearest celestial neighbour," claimed Pieters, a planetary geologist at Brown University in Rhode Island.

Though the abundance of the hydroxyl molecules are not precisely known, about 1,000 parts per million could be in the lunar soil, the paper noted.

"Harvesting one ton of the top layer of the moon's surface will yield as much as 32 ounces (907 grams) of water," scientists involved in the discovery said.

As lead author of the M3 findings, Pieters said more evidence of water was found in the moon's high latitudes.

"It greatly expands current thinking about where water in any form was presumed to be located," she pointed out.

The findings give rise to interesting new questions about where the water molecules come from and where they may be going.

Scientists have speculated that water molecules may migrate from non-polar regions of the moon to the poles, where they are stored as ice in ultra-frigid pockets of craters that never receive sunlight.

"If the water molecules are as mobile as we think they are -- even a fraction of them -- they provide a mechanism for getting water to those permanently shadowed craters. This opens a whole new avenue (of lunar research), but we have to understand the physics of it to utilise it," Pieters noted.

The NASA payload found water molecules and hydroxyl at diverse areas of the sunlit region of the moon's surface, but the water signature appeared stronger at the moon's higher latitudes.

Two NASA spacecrafts -- the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) on the Cassini spacecraft and the High-Resolution Infrared Imaging Spectrometer on the EPOXI spacecraft also confirmed the data on the discovery of water by M3.

"This is a very, very important finding... If somehow water was found on the moon, you could use that water right out there. You could extract it," said Amitabha Ghosh, space scientist at NASA.

"Right now, we don't know what temperature it is, and whether there is a cost effective way of extracting it," he added.
