"Glider crashes into ancient monument"

Thanks BBC and local press!

BBC News - Glider crashes into Uffington White Horse

http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/archive/...Horse/?ref=arc

Glider undamaged
Pilot uninjured

Would anyone care to define the word "crash" to the BBC?

Unfortunately what we call 'landing out' the media will always call 'crashing' because 'glider crashes' is a better headline than 'glider lands out without incident.'
