What an idiotic headline.....
The plane never left the ground, yet "rained" fiery debris....woooooo.

Sorry, I won't read further than that. Besides I already read the whole real report in the Post and Courier.

Right on, Brian. My pet hate at the moment is crappy journalism, and this headline is a perfect example.
