## Resource

Ten lives vanished in a Independence Day plane crash in North Andros — a teenager, locals, a beloved DJ, and a band — sending shockwaves across the nation. For Algerene Russell, mother of Valentino Knowles, who died in a similar crash years ago, this tragedy is a brutal echo of past grief. With only fragments recovered from the earlier crash and her son’s remains cremated, Russell now fears a pattern: unreliable air service forces desperate pilots to take dangerous risks. She calls for urgent government action to provide dependable transport, so islanders aren’t forced into perilous choices — and so communities can truly heal together.
