Reminds me of a British news report that got shown on the news here the other night. It was about the gales going through the UK and they showed an Antonov or similar taking off in a crosswind, whilst the reporter said something along the lines of 'rapidly blown off course'. Once again, misinformation by sources such as the media are a prime cause of stupid remarks from the SLF!
