News of an air crash in the north of England has just been received. The plane, which was on a charter(包机)flight from London to Carlisle, was carrying a party of businessmen on their way to a trade fair. It seems likely that the plane ran into a heavy fog as it neared Carlisle and had to circle for twenty minutes. Everything seemed to be going well. The pilot was in constant radio communication with Grand Control, when the engines suddenly went wrong and all contact was lost. The plane crashed on the site of the Roman camp at Hadrian’s Hill, a place well known to archaeologists(考古学家)and tourists.

So far few details have been reported, but it is feared that at least twenty people lost their lives, among them the pilot, who was killed at once. The local ambulance and firemen were on the scene within minutes of the crash, but additional help had to be rushed from other areas.

Mr. Lesilie Collins told our reporter, “We passengers noticed the engines were making a funny noise. Of course we couldn’t see anything because of the fog, but the pilot said there was nothing to worry about. The next thing we knew, the engines went dead.
