British, Irish and Spanish killed in Cork air crash
Six people have been killed and six others injured after a small plane traveling from Belfast crashed in fog at Cork Airport.

The Manx2 commuter flight with 10 passengers and two crew on board crashed on the runway on its third attempt to land just before 1000 GMT.

The aircraft overturned and burst into flames.

It is understood there were Irish, British and Spanish passport-holders on the aircraft.

We could reduce the number of deaths in air travel if there was mo4e money spent on air traffic control and less on intrusive airport security..
