A 16-year-old boy driving a BMW has died in a crash.
He was trying to overtake another vehicle when he lost control and hit a tree at 21:40 BST on Thursday, police said.
Officers have yet to trace the owner of the BMW 318SE and do not yet know if the car was stolen.  . . .
 . .Lancashire Police Sgt Nigel Ralphson said it was "an extremely tragic incident".

Planespotting is a safe hobby right? Nothing dangerous or life threatening....

Apparently not

Look at 11:50 in.

Awesome!  ;D

But there is something wrong with the pictures from the article...





The shadow of the Cessna doesn't match...

They've merged a picture of the guy taking a photo of an approaching aircraft (see how he is focussed *snigger* in the distance) with a picture of a landing Cessna...

In my humble opinion anyway....  whistle:
