  • Often the media is too quick to want to break news that they don't bother to fact check their information. This was the case for this lady when reporting about a skydiving jump plane accident ("crash landing") in Cranland Airport in Hanson, Massachusetts. What is hard to believe is that this person has not seen the movie "Back to the Future" or maybe she thought that was real?
    You would think reporters would have learned their lesson after the Asiana accident.

      No it wasn't the pilot. It was a friend of mine. He literally rode up to her on a unicycle and told her that. He was pissed because the reporters kept showing up to the widow of the guy who died days before. It was my friend's plans that crashed. Ya it was good

    As a prior Air Force aircraft mechanic I'd like to say this is a perfect example why you should always make sure your flux capacitor is properly charged. A Mr. Fusion installation is usually recommended.
