“Five killed in Kent plane crash”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The plane - which was en route from nearby Biggin Hill airfield to France - burst into flames, destroying a garage and house, which was empty at the time.

No-one on the ground was badly injured, but two people were treated for shock.

The people who live in the damaged house were away on holiday.

They have returned since the crash and are being comforted by friends.

‘We’re going down’

It is thought the plane got into difficulties just after take-off from Biggin Hill.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Andrew Walters, chairman of Biggin Hill Airport, confirmed that the passengers were on a business trip to France. The aircraft had just taken off when the pilot made an emergency call and asked for permission to land again.

“Unfortunately it crashed before reaching the airport,” Mr Walters said.

A pilot named as John, who was landing another plane at Biggin Hill, heard the mayday call. The Cessna pilot reported “severe engine vibrations”, he said.

He told the BBC: “You could hear the alarms in the cockpit.

“The pilot came back over the radio a second or two later and said ‘We’re going down, we’re going down’.

“The radio stayed live, and as I turned off the runway I looked back and I saw the plane basically drop out of the sky.

“And then the radio went dead and black smoke came up from over the hill.”

‘Felt the heat’

Local residents said they heard a “roar” and saw the plane flying along at a “funny angle” with its tail down and nose up. In the aftermath of the crash, they said the air was thick with the smell of fuel.”

Yeah, remember when Billy Graham flew that jetliner into that high rise building?
“’I equate evangelism with terrorism,’ Religious Affairs Minister Ghoulamullah said in an article in LÂ’Expression on February 12.”

That’s from “Algeria: Officials Order Closure Of 19 Protestant Congregations: Police in Muslim country detain Christians for carrying Bibles,” from Compass Direct (thanks to DMartyr).

“ALGERIA: OFFICIALS ORDER CLOSURE OF 19 PROTESTANT CONGREGATIONS
Police in Muslim country detain Christians for carrying Bibles.”

ISTANBUL, March 28 (Compass Direct News)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Equating Evangelism with ‘Terrorism’

Ironic particularly in light of Amari’s comment, Algerian authorities have begun comparing evangelization with terrorism in recent months.

“I equate evangelism with terrorism,” Religious Affairs Minister Ghoulamullah said in an article in L’Expression on February 12.”
