After a Helicopter incident in the last week, a local paper utilised the story as its (website) lead.
Under a prominent headline of "Helicopter crash in village leaves one man injured" the main meat of the story was summed up in a few paragraphs
Local garage's reaction
A man - who did not wish to be named - works at the nearby Jet Garage.
He said: “I haven’t heard or seen anything about it.
“I did see fire engines and an ambulance race down there around that time, but I didn’t think anything about it.”
Air Accident Investigation release a statement
An AAIB spokesman said: “We’re aware of the accident and are investigating.
“There is nothing more to add at this stage.”
What is the area like?
Our reporter Matt has told us the area where the crash happened is very rural, and there are not any homes nearby.
The lane is said to be almost like a dirt-track.
He was not able to see the helicopter crash site due to no street lighting in the area.
Parish Councillor tells of "not hearing anything"
Parish Councillor Sue Bereznyckyj said she has not heard anything.
She said: “We haven’t seen or heard anything.
“We do get a lot of choppers going over that area, but usually just police, ambulance, and rescue ones.”
....you couldn't make it up......

I didn't see or hear anything either, so it must be true.

You only need to read press report on something you know about to understand how poor nationals, never mind locals are on getting facts right. Whatever carp local paper comes up with AAIB bulletin or report will out the truth.

In my first week of working in Television I was told that I would never again believe anything I watched or read.
So true.
