That refers to a 2004 accident. Not recent.


I do hope you are right, but the date in the header (Monday, Feb 10


2014) - the only date on the page - is very misleading if you are


correct.






And today the same page carries the date of Friday 14th 2014 - i.e. today's

date. This is normal for most web sites that want you to think they keep

them up-to-date.


That is simply bad web design and poor composition. The Internet is full of web articles that lack posting dates or carry the wrong (in this case) current date. Authors should date their own bylines.
