Honda Motor Co.'s North American unit and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday that a ruptured airbag inflator of Takata Corp. used in a Honda Civic caused the death of the driver on July 10.
The 2004 model car involved in the crash in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was under recall but had not received the repair, the company said, adding that the ruptured inflator in the vehicle was not the original one installed.
Takata airbag inflators have been linked to at least 18 deaths and 180 injuries around the world.
Honda has so far removed over 100,000 inflators from salvage yards and has requested that major online auction sites prohibit and stop the sale of affected airbags.

The Jerusalem Vote And The US-Israel Link

Dear Friend, On the 12th of this month, the High Court of Kerala passed an order against the Kerala State Child Rights Commission as well as an individual student. The facts of this case revolves around a purported public display of action by two 12th standard students of the St. Thomas Central School Trivandrum. During the School Arts Festival which took place on 21st July, 2017, a Class 12 student hugged his female friend after her performance. A complaint was filed thereupon by the class teacher, and the students were barred from attending classes for the next few days. The charge? Hugging One hopes that the overwhelming rejection of the Trump Administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on the 21st of December 2017 will compel Washington DC to rescind its decision. Given Trump’s track record so far —- on the Climate Change Accord and UNESCO —it is very unlikely. The most we can expect him to do is to delay a littl...
