Still not noticed in the spots one would normally see this (Radio Australia, BBC, etc).
Well TVNZ is the OFFICIAL state run television, so one would
have to assume that if its on THEIR web site it must be for real. They would have it first.
Remember, Australia is 1200 nautical miles away, and they
are probably waiting for something official from NZ.
BBC? Well it has to pass the political correcteness department first now doesn't it!
TVNZ site now says:
Police are trying to reach the pilot of an aircraft which has crashed into the sea of Kohimarama in east Auckland.
The pilot of the light plane had earlier threatened to crash the M.B.O. aircraft into the Sky Tower.
The plane was earlier reported stolen from Ardmore Airport in Manukau City
The police helicopter followed the plane after the pilot made unspecified threats.
The crash was close to National Party leader Don Brash's house at St Heliers. One unconfirmed report said the man had threatened to crash the plane into Brash's house.
There was no immediate word on how many people were aboard or if
they were injured.
