I love the British understatement: a "pile of metal" was "seen burning."

Both pilots are OK.

Better than US reporters. Tragedy was narrowly avoided as the pilots dodged a school full of small children 10 miles away before plunging their aircraft into the ground.

Wow they deployed their parachutes? What are they trying to be? Cirrus pilots? They should have landed it in a field like a real pilot.
