On the UK news a young girl said she could see the faces of the people in the plane and that they made waving gestures with their hands to try to warn the kids playing on the green near to their homes to move away to safety. A man said he too saw their frightened faces and will never forget it. How wonderful though, that these people whose lives were in imminent peril behaved in such a selfless manner.

This is not lol at all! I feel sorry for the victims and their families..

Pilots are so stupid for flying over residential areas when they know the plane is unstable. Again and again, we see rich people buying planes for fun and risking lives or ordinary people. This is like having AIDS and having unprotected sex with people without their consent.

Yes, pilots apparently wanted to attempt to land on a soccer field where children were playing, waving out of their windows to get them out of the field.

The children froze/did not move away and pilots had to pull up and crash into that house...

The pilots deserve a salute for what they did.
