A small aircraft crashed and burst into flames Wednesday morning in a remote valley of northern Italy's Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, killing both people on board after the craft struck the cables of a service cableway near an Alpine dam.
The crash occurred around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, August 26, near the Campliccioli dam in the municipality of Antrona Schieranco, in Italy's Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province.According to firefighters, the aircraft — a two-seat gyrocopter — struck the cables of a service cableway (funivia) used by Italian energy utility Enel to access the dam, then caught fire.The aircraft came down near the shores of Lake Campliccioli, on a grassy area beside the dam, after the collision.
Both occupants died in the crash: identified as Alessandro Muscinelli, a 62-year-old resident of Premeno who was piloting the aircraft, and his sister-in-law, Antonella Pagliarani, 63, a resident of the Milan area and partner of the pilot's brother, who was traveling as a passenger.
Some initial reports gave the victims' ages as 60 and 63 and identified the pilot as a 64-year-old engineer from Premeno, a small town in the hills above Verbania — details that varied slightly across outlets as the story developed through the morning.

Someone forgot their Reader Glasses at the airport

@ScreaminMime Makes no sense. Why would someone who needs reading glasses have issues with distant objects? Usually, needing reading glasses means you're farsighted.
