Aegean Sea boat crash seriously injures the owner of Turkey's Pegasus Airlines and his wife

The chairperson of the company that owns Turkey’s Pegasus Airlines has been injured in a boating accident while vacationing in Greece

ANKARA, Turkey -- The chairperson of the company that owns low-cost Turkish carrier Pegasus Airlines was injured in a boating accident while vacationing in Greece, Esas Holding said Friday. His wife, Businessperson Vuslat Dogan Sabanci, also was injured.

Media reports said the couple were seriously in an accident late Thursday. A company statement later reported an “improvement” in their conditions but did not elaborate.

A speedboat taking the couple to shore crashed into rocks off the Aegean Sea island of Leros, Turkish news agency DHA and other media outlets reported.

The two were evacuated to the nearby Turkish resort of Bodrum for treatment, from where Ali Sabanci, 54, was airlifted to a hospital in Istanbul. Vuslat Dogan Sabanci, 52, was transferred later to the same hospital.

A Greek coast guard statement said there were six people on the speedboat when it crashed - four Turkish nationals, one South African and one British national. All six were taken to a hospital on Leros and four of them were released the same night. A private ambulance boat took a Turkish man and woman to Turkey, the statement said, without identifying any of the patients.

The coast guard in Leros was investigating the crash.

Ali Sabanci is a member of one of Turkey’s wealthiest families. He left the family conglomerate and founded Esas Holding with his father and sister.

The group acquired Pegasus Airlines in 2005, building it into Turkey’s second-largest airline.

An Intersection of Art and Science: A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall My conception of this project was a uniquely spontaneous and intuitive process that connected an imaginative vision of historical facts with the rich cultural heritage of Rhode Island, especially the city of Newport. The title of the exhibition— A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall, taken from the Bob Dylan song written sixty years ago during the summer of 1962—was no accident. The legendary songwriter himself said that some of the lyrics occurred to him through mysterious channels, akin to Kerouac’s notion of automatic writing. Inspired by the old European

Mikel Arteta determined to fix Arsenal's poor record at Anfield

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has described this weekend as an ‘opportunity’ to end the club’s poor recent record at Anfield when they face an inconsistent Liverpool in the Premier League . The Gunners have not won a game at Anfield in any competition since a league visit in September 2012 almost 11 years ago. Of the 12 times they have been to the red side of Merseyside since, eight have ended in Liverpool wins, with four draws. In 2020, Arteta’s Arsenal won at Old Trafford for the first time since 2006, while the recent north London derby victory was their first away at Tottenham since 2015. Arsenal have won their last three trips to Stamford Bridge, but prior to 2021 hadn’t won there since 2011. Anfield remains the next one to tick off in terms of big away wins for Arteta.
