Two RAF Tornado jets crash in Scotland
Two RAF jets have crash landed in Scotland, both jets carry 2 crew members. Two people are missing but the other two have been found and brought to hospital. The search for the two missing airmen was called of because of lack of light but will continue tomorrow morning. 3 lifeboats crewed by around 15 volunteers joined the search for the missing crew members, they were supported by a helicopter. The station commander at RAF Lossiemouth has confirmed the loss of 2 Tornado jets but hasn't given any comment as to how or why this happened.
First of all I hope the missing two airman will be still alive when they are found. But I do wonder what happened, we can safely rule out an attack because that would have been seen on radar and the airmen would have reported to their base. That leaves an accident or lousy flying, I hope it was an accident or technical problem because I don't like it when this happens without a clear reason. But we will find out what happened when there is a follow-up.
