Light aircraft or airliner ????? |
Emergency Services now saying A/c did not hit the sea......
|
Thanks, I heard it as I was getting out of the car, didn't stop to listen as its pouring down..........
Doesn't sound good, hopefully the outcome will be good. |
BBC Radio 5 Live has also given a News Flash around 3.17pm reporting an aircraft has crashed in to the sea en route to or from the Canary Islands. No further details of any kind as yet.
|
Sky saying "Vessel Mistaken for Plane"
|
Canaries emergency services being quoted as saying false alarm.
|
Sky News saying its a mistake Not a crash....
|
It is not a plane crash. Apparently a vessel in some kind of distress. Thanks God!
|
Sky now saying its actually a vessel of some sort-not an aircraft.
Crazy reporting practice to release this sort of info before any facts known? Must have been seriously worrying for anyone having family/crew heading that way! |
it's a boat!
|
False alarm according to the BBC, thankfully
|
Reuters CONFIRM FALSE ALARM.
A shipping vessel was mistaken for an aircraft in the sea |
Idiot reporters, rushing to be the first to break the news, without checking any facts :ugh:
|
Idiot reporters? Quite a ridiculous thing to say on a thread which is doing exactly the same.
Make that two threads: One saying "aircraft down", the other saying "crash". What's that about rushing to break news before checking facts? Jeez. |
