Three members of Osama bin Laden's family were killed in a private jet crash when their pilot avoided a microlight and then landed too far down the runway. The £7million private jet also issued six warning alerts before it plunged into a car auction site in Hampshire on Friday, an initial report has found.
Relatives of Bin Laden, including his stepmother and half-sister, were 'incinerated' when the Saudi-registered Phenom 300 jet crash-landed on to dozens of cars at Blackbushe Airport and burst into flames.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said the plane, travelling from Milan, overtook a microlight aircraft after beginning its descent from cruise level. The aircraft had communicated it was 'clear of conflict' when it was approaching the runway with the landing gear down, the report stated. It then began 'a very high-speed descent', dropping at up to 3,000ft per minute. See photos from the scene...
