    ......it's into a cemetery.

    A small plane has crashed in the northern US state of Montana, killing all 17 people on board, many of them children heading on a skiing holiday.

    Preliminary reports showed all on board the plane were killed when it plunged into the Holy Cross Cemetery.

    The plane, a single engine turboprop, was heading from Oroville, California, just north of San Francisco on a 1,500km journey to Bozeman, Montana.

    The crash occurred at around 8.30pm (Irish time) just south of the Bert Mooney Airport in Butte, about 130m west of Bozeman.

    The cause of the crash is not yet know

    Logisitcally this is going to be a mess, because I am sure that the impact crater is going to be deeper than six feet deep.

    A 20 seat plane crashed into a cemetary in Montana. So far police have recovered 182 bodies but expect to find more as excavation contibues into the night!

    It's a good thing that Jade wasn't on the plane.

    Looking back at that.....I don't get it either.

    There was something much funnier going on in my head that was lost along the way.

    I'm going to take a mulligan on that one.

    Better crashing into a cemetary than into a populated area, they can't make the dead any more deader.

    And humour is a coping mechanism to help us with the grief.
