Other reports mention the fact that the plane was not gaining enough height after take off. If the ferris wheel was at the end of the airstrip then there's a possible disaster waiting to happen.

Also there's the meteorological conditions. The ferris wheel was white. It had been raining intermittently so there must be clouds around. Under certain lighting conditions the ferris wheel might have blended into the cloud background.

Who's to know for certain amongst those attempting to judge from afar?

People die on motorways and A roads every day for more stupid reasons than this, it's just that the pictures aren't as satisfying as these. If the pilot was decapitated then The Mail would have ignored the story and the pictures because it was too gory.

Our chances are probably very good. In fact, I've never heard of a cyclist crashing into a Ferris wheel.
