BREAKING NEWS..........Rory O'Connor reporting from Ballsbridge, Dublin

"Irish air accident inspectors have now arrived at the scene of Ireland's worst ever aviation disaster. It seems the twin engined Cessna light aircraft took off from a local airport a short while ago, at about 10.00pm, in a heavy thunder storm, en route to Cork. Whilst over this heavily populated suburb of Dublin the aircraft suddenly plummeted to the ground and crashed into St Michael's Cemetery. Rescue workers with arc lights and digging equipment have so far pulled 269 bodies from the wreckage. We'll have more on this story throughout the night."
