Sarah blogs from our newest Greenpeace office in the Congo

Sarah is in Kinshasa, visiting our Congo office on their first anniversary. I write from our office in Kinshasa , in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In some ways it's very like any other Greenpeace office. There are pictures of the Rainbow Warrior on the wall, people on phones rush from room to room, journalists and cameramen walk in and out. There's a shout and we all crowd round the TV to...

Your Move, Captain Sullenberger [Airplanes]

Hudson River water landings? Those are so yesterday, man. Somewhere in the Congo today there's a pilot who, after a slight, um, miscalculation , crash landed his plane in a lava field. Now, we can make light of this incident because all 117 passengers and crew walked away from the crash largely unharmed. The only real casualty was the captain's ego, although I think he's probably the talk of the terminal...

Of course, I'm making this cooler than it actually was because it wasn't molten lava and it wasn't in the middle of a volcano . Truthfully, I don't even know why I'm reporting this besides 1. I'm awesome and B. journalism. The plane was flying from Kinshasa to...

Another plane mishap in Africa. This time lava is the problem

Filed under: Africa , Congo , Zimbabwe , Airports , News If you've ever seen a lava flow, you know that once the stuff cools and hardens, it's hard to move. In the Congo, this has created a big problem at the airport in Goma. Back in 2002, when the Nyiragongo Volcano erupted, lava flowed onto the runway, thus shortening it. A shorter runway does not sound good. It's not. Today, this was proved true...

European leaders are due to arrive in Brussels in the next few hours to select a president with the announcement later tonight.
