Dashcam footage has captured the final moments of a doomed charter plane before it plunged into a shopping centre next to Melbourne's Essendon Airport.Five people were on board the Beechcraft charter plane bound for King Island, Tasmania, when the aircraft crashed on Tuesday about 9am.

Max Quartermain, 63, a pilot from Melbourne who owns Corporate and Leisure Aviation with his wife Cilla, is believed to have been flying the aircraft at the time, theHerald Sunreports.

Greg Reynolds, 70, a U.S. citizen, is also thought to have died in the crash along with two friends during a 'once in a lifetime trip' to Australia, according to posts on social media.

'There is constant explosions going off, there is black smoke billowing into the sky,' one caller told 3AW on Tuesday.

Authorities feed prisoners twice a day, but inmates get little more than rationed supplies of rice, oats or cornmeal.

Widespread malnutritican has led to deadly cases of malnutrition-related ailments such as beriberi and anemia in the prison.

While some prisoners are brought food by families, the large majority of prisoners are dependent on authorities to feed them.

Not all the inmates are weakened by hunger.

Some are provided meals by visiting relatives and others are permitted by guards to meet with contacts to bring in food, cigarettes and other things.

Some 40 per cent of the country's 11,000 inmates are housed in the appalling squalor.

Haiti's penal system is at a staggering 454 per cent occupancy level.

Pictured, prisoners walk around a courtyard at the penitentiary.

About 80 per cent of those incarcerated at the prison have not been convicted of a crime but are held in prolonged pretrial detention waiting for their chance to see a judge.

Many of the inmates have to wait up to eight years to see a judge as they await trial.

Some inmates at the facility are on lockdown for 22 hours a day.

During the little recreation time they have, some men play checkers, dominoes and card games while others keep their sanity by maintaining a daily exercise routine of pushups and weightlifting where they use jugs filled with dirty water as their weights.

Cells made for 20 inmates are now being used to house 80 to 100 prisoners at a time.

Prisoners rest in makeshift hammocks which have been made due to a lack of available beds inside the penitentiary.

Some men are even sleeping four to a bunk due to lack of accommodation.

Prisoners cram shoulderto shoulder to watch TV in their crowded cell inside the prison.

Prisoners rest in the facility's infirmary.

Dozens of emaciated men with sunken cheeks and protruding ribs lie silently in an infirmary at Haiti's largest prison, most too weak to stand.

The corpse of an inmate who died miserably of malnutrition is shrouded beneath a plastic tarp.

Elsewhere, prisoners are crammed shoulder-to-shoulder in cellblocks so overcrowded they have to sleep in makeshift hammocks suspended from the ceiling or squeeze four to a bunk.

New arrivals at Haiti's National Penitentiary jostlefor space on filthy floors where inmates on lockdown 22 hours a day are forced to defecate into plastic bags in the absence of latrines.

Overcrowding, malnutrition and infectious diseases that flourish in jammed quarters have led to an upsurge of inmate deaths, including 21 at the Port-au-Prince penitentiary just last month.

Summer Olympics, 1936 - Olympic Village, Berlin.

A graveyard has been established in what was once part of the Olympic Sports Complex in Sarajevo for the 1984 Winter Olympics.

village in Elstal, west of Berlin.

The village, which housed over 4,000 athletes for the notorious 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, then under Nazi rule, was used as barracks for the German army shortly afterwards, and from 1945 as barracks for Russian officers, until the Russian army's final withdrawal in 1992.

Ripped seats, where the stadium has fallen into disrepair.

A huge pile of seats, which have been torn up from the stands, inside the stadium.

Part of the Olympic Aquatics Centre in Rio de Janeiro.

The thread bare pitch of the world-famous Maracana Stadium is a far cry from the days when it hosted the World Cup final and fixtures in last year's Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Then and now: The aquatics stadium, used for last year's Olympic and Paralympic Games, is currently in a state of disrepair.

The Rio Olympics is the 28th Summer Olympic games.

The first one took place in Greece in 1896 and since then the event has been held in 19 different countries.

But do you ever stop and wonder just what happened to all of those huge venues purposely built to host the world's most famous games?

Less than six months ago, the eyes of the world were on the huge Olympic stadiums in Rio.

Billions of dollars were spent on bringing the flagship sporting event to Brazil, with the overall cost estimated to be around $12billion.

This was at a time when the Brazilian economy was in a huge recession, and state workers were being paid late, if at all.

That's serious.

What goes up must surely come down.


I had a dream last night.


I saw $1 = #5.


I saw Apple, Microsoft, Airbus, Boeing, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, GM, Mercedes Benz, Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, having their major plants, Headquarters in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Nigeria became one of the largest exporters in the world.


I saw 2% unemployment rate, 24hrs electricity, police and medical auto response, trams, bullet trains, tubes, underground tunnels for cars&trains, flying taxis.


I saw Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos, Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Tin can port on 5 busiest ports in the world.(Both cargo&Passenger) with over 500,000,000 passengers/visitors/tourists annually.


I saw Nigeria embassies around the world rejecting and turning down over 1,000,000 visa applications everyday mostly from U.S., UK, China, and Germany.


Then i woke up.

Wrong. It takes 6 months to craft a car by 20 techs, in a year only 2 can be made if it's only 20 techs that work there. Buh they churn out 70, so do the math.

Ok.

Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area were facing a weekend return of heavy rain and winds that lashed them earlier in the week before the storm moves out.
