I know it's serious but you've got to have a laugh sometimes. this from "Top News Singapore" which is apparently an on-line news service:

pilot and her passenger have strolled away from a frothy plane crash in a backyard.
Yesterday the single-engine and the four-seated plane abrupt the roof of one house and crashed in the yard of a bordering home only hundreds of meters from the Moorabbin Airport runway near Melbourne approx 3.30pm.
The female pilot, 28, from Hawthorn and her male passenger, 70, who were on an airborne photography assignment, were able to mount from the debris uninjured.
A police spokesman expressed there was no one in the house at the moment when the plane crashed, and the pilot and passenger did not undergo any grave injuries.
Paramedics expressed that it was astounding that they were able to move away from the crash.
The aircraft had disembarked from the Moorabbin Airport approx 2.15pm and was making a comeback in to land when its engine botched.
The police spokesman explained that the plane as a write-off. It's poorly dented, yet the house has only lost a few tiles from the top of the roof
