I just finished reading the article. What a shame.
Yes, it's a shame, but the plane can be rebuilt. As least, I hope that it will be. More important is that pilot wasn't injured.Quote:

When I try to look at that news report, the computer says this is a forbidden site. Could someone give a quick summary, pilot name, type plane, where based? thanks
Why do they always say it was a "Crash" ? He was making an emergency landing and there was an obstacle in the flight path ! Just like Harrison Ford, "crashed on the golf course". No he didn't, he made an emergency landing and walked away just like this guy ! Perhaps a bit more slowly !

Ever since Thomas Selfridge became the first person ever killed in an airplane accident, the media has called any airplane accident a "crash". For 110 years it's stuck. I suspect this will continue.Quote:

Try a search if this link (also) doesn't work for you.
Thanks Marty and CDS. Part of the problem is that I am not a computer guy, I don't know a gigabyte from a biplane. I can, however, fly old airplanes acceptably for 25 years since they have real gauges not tv screens. I dont knowingly have any security setting, much less the wrong one.
I first tried to read the news clip above and got some message the it was not a secure site, yesterday. Today, however . it does read that ok. As the mystery superhero, old radio series, THE SHADOW, used to say, "Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of man? The shadow knows." I say who knows wher evil lurks in the bowels of computers and iphones and ipads. I recently enjoyed watching a lady with a Masters ask a 14 year old boy to fix her cell phone which he did quickly.
