Feel for all parties involved.

Posted here because althought it could be in the "news" section or the "plane" section I think it is worth reflection.

I don't know how they expect the article to hold my concentration when they have a picture of God holding a midget's hand.

Must have been a very small plane.

Wrong place wrong time. Sad.

I was only thinking of that young fella that went out to clean his car in Battersea and got decapitated by a falling crane. Happened a few years ago.

One minute you are here, next sec you are not.

Be careful out there.

Yup.....Jogging is a very dangerous sport/ hobby (It's a silent 'J' by the way wink )

You're advised to wear head protection just in case a plane does decide to fly into you.


In fact, I think it's a little too dangerous to have unsupervised Jogging happening in public, so I think we should have some sort of 'Jogging License' to prove we are competant enough to Jog (it should cost no more than a reasonable £400).

Of course, to reduce the risk of this type of thing happening again, we could reduce the amount of people Jogging. Maybe if we imposed a CO2 tax on Joggers we might be able to force the numbers down.

Or we could put up some speed cameras to make sure the Joggers aren't running TOO fast so that they cannot get out of the way of a divebombing plane. Afterall, the faster you are running, the further it takes you to stop, and your ability to perform a controlled turn is greatly reduced.
