This is all over the news over here, Blackbushe being my local field;

Some of Osama Bin Laden's family has died yesterday in a private jet crash at Blackbushe Airfield, 4 persons onboard.

I'm supposed to be flying out from Blackbushe next Friday!

Picked it up on the news yesterday.

I wonder what went seriously wrong there!

...ran off the end of the runway!

Scary stuff involving aeroplanes... :think: ...!

The only thing I can think of is incompetent pilot ... but it would be wrong to say anything like that before full facts are known (even though I just did)

Looks like a few questions are being raised regarding the crash;

"Questions have been raised over the cause of Friday’s plane crash in which three members of the Bin Laden family were killed, given the aircraft had used the runway, which is fitted with hi-tech safety features, regularly in recent months."
