    @Benjamin Dolan:

    In fairness to Paul he did include a nice picture of Charles bridge. To add a little detail, it was two Offaly men and they crashed a light aircraft near Prague. They are both injured, but thankfully not with life threatening injuries. Link below provides a little more info.
