In tragic news today a small private jet suffering technical difficulties hit
a Kent house attempting to make an emergency landing, as yet all five
occupants are considered lost, however there are only minor reported injuries
from the ground. A second pilot reported on the mayday:
"I was about thirty seconds from touchdown and I heard a mayday call.
"(The pilot) reported severe engine vibrations. You could hear the alarms in
the cockpit.
"The pilot came back over the radio a second or two later and said 'We're
going down, we're going down'.
"The radio stayed live, and as I turned off the runway I looked back and I
saw the plane basically drop out of the sky.
"And then the radio went dead and black smoke came up from over the hill."
The house that was struck was (thankfully) believed to be empty.

Dung will be along early in the morning to crow about it. Especially
when he finds out that the people using the aeroplane were all involved
in motorsport.
