hundreds of people died horribly in a fire *makes a quick zinger article title to scare people into thinking it happened again* haha that'll get the views going
clickbait articles need to die in a car fire
Did you actually think the title meant a real plane? I thought it was funny.

Newsbot just posts whatever's on the [url=http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml?edition=uk] RSS feed[/url], where the embed plugin thing pulls the title off the article itself, so BBC probably changed the title immediately after posting
