A HELICOPTER PILOT has fallen to his death during an air show near the city of Liege in Belgium.
The tragic incident occurred at a public parachute display by the 4th Engineers Battalion of the Amay region, near Liege, yesterday afternoon.
Belgian broadcaster RTBF reports that the man’s co-pilot had been preparing to drop three paratroopers for a parachute jump and was observing the conditions outside the Agusta AW109 helicopter immediately prior to doing so.
Once the the paratroopers had left the plane the co-pilot turned to his left only to discover that the other pilot was gone and the door of the helicopter was open.
The co-pilot immediately regained control of the helicopter and landed it safely before raising the alarm.
The dead man fell several hundred metres without a parachute.
His body was found earlier today in a heavily wooded area following a search involving 50 police officers.
An investigation into what happened is under way, but no further details are expected before an autopsy is carried out on the body early tomorrow.

My battery wouldn’t last long enough for me to do that…
Laughable how difficult it is to do on an iPhone. Sure just getting music on it in the first place is a trial in itself with all the iTunes and syncing shite. Android is just drag and drop
If you’ve a Mac, you can just edit the song in GarageBand, and import as ringtone to iTunes, sync with iPhone, and you’re done.
Since when is this a thing? I’ve had various phones over the past 15 years, always had a custom ringtone and never had a problem setting it (actually, I tell a lie, I had one for an afternoon that I returned when I discovered it couldn’t do it easily).
Certainly, the article seems to be making things more complicated than they need to be for Androids. On my current phone, you don’t need to download any apps or anything like that. Just two steps:
(i) Save your desired MP3 (any length you like) to the “Sounds” folder on the phone.
(ii) Go — Settings>Sounds>Set Ringtone>Add and pick your MP3,
Simples.
You can even, just as easily, set your clock alarm to whatever MP3 you want. And you ‘notification’ tone (for emails, facebook updates etc) The only thing that’s tricky is setting things like the startup sound and camera shutter sound, but that those can be done with downloaded apps and a few steps.
or get the free ringtones app that lets you create them on your iphone from your music library, email them to yourself, open on your PC with itunes, sync iphone to PC, hey presto ring tone is on your iphone
I was about to say that
The windows phone is crap, my mother in law got a free one (no wonder they were giving them away) and I was tasked with setting it up, an afternoon spent battling the phone, its too complicated I use Linux on the laptop and spend all day using drive and gmai on both the desktop ann the phone for work and give me android any day its intuitive and logical,
Ah but how do I apply different ringtones to different contacts on iPhone?
That’s easy you just do that when you are editing a particular persons contact details.
have your say
