    It was Beechcraft King Air light aircraft. Like this one used by the Irish Air Corps.

    Yeah. What are the chances.


    Some reports said the engine fell off, bizzare though.

    Well, iron is magnetic. So it probably stopped the airplane from getting to the proper altitude to escape the magnetic pull of the earth.

    Wichita is a massive aircraft manufacturing city too. The Beech was manufactured in Wichita, I think.

    Gerry Adams does not condone this crash, nor does he condemn it. For the record, he was not and has never been in Wichita and any claims to the contrary are just more dirty tricks by the governments in Westminster and Dublin to discredit the republican people of Ireland.

    Or something like that...

    You know what? We have Godwin's Law. I'm coming up with boneyarsebogman's law; "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Enda Kenny/SF/travelers/roma gypsies approaches 1"

    they'll probably try to pin engine failure on Russia like they're trying to do with that rocket.
