No Wonder They Don’t Like Us

The cockpit canopy of a vintage P-51 Mustang fighter came off while the plane was in flight over Germany. Apparently, the aircraft was en route to an airshow. The falling Plexiglas dome demolished a small food stand when it crashed to earth.

No one was hurt when pieces of the glass covering of the single-propeller plane crashed into the roof of a house and demolished the takeaway stand on Wednesday, police said. The debris missed hitting a woman by about one metre (yard).

But the British pilot of the plane, which had taken off from near London, carried on another 400 km (250 miles) to his destination at Berlin's Schoenefeld airport without reporting the loss of the cockpit's glass cover.

The pilot cannot be located even though the airplane was parked properly at the airshow later.

61 years after the end of the war and we're still bombing them. That explains this poll.
