Ship Mistaken For Plane Crash In Gran Canaria
3:25pm UK, Thursday 27 March 2014
The Canary Islands lie off the coast of north west Africa.
Emergency services have mistaken a shipping vessel for a plane crash near Gran Canaria, it has emerged.
More follows...
So a false alarm telling us only that some journalists do not know the difference between a plane and a ship. It is of course possible there may turn out to be a news event of some kind involving a ship off the coast of Gran Canaria........
EDIT:- BBC Radio 5 Live now also confirming at 3.30pm that "Spanish emergency services staff mistook a ship in the sea for an aeroplane"
