Reading Festival in Berkshire to witness heavy rains

It is estimated that nearly 100,000 revelers could be attending the Reading Festival in Berkshire this weekend and they are being urged to 'take their wellies and thermals' because forecasters have warned that further rain will continue to lash the country.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 26 August 2015.

Music fans will arrive at the venue of the Richfield Avenue festival site and, with the recent heavy rain and further thundery downpours, the camping area could very well turn into a quagmire. Due to such wet weather and below-average temperatures, the police have advised festival-goers to carry with them enough warm clothing due to fears of hypothermia.
Incidentally, incessant rains have opened up a large sinkhole on the busy A27 at Titchfield in Hampshire and the police had to close the road and divert motorists to allow council workers to assess the extent of damage.
The police have also suggested that festival goers make use of the train service to reach Reading – that would be better rather than driving down and get stranded on the wet, muddy roads.

Seven killed in Shoreham Airshow when a Hawker Hunter crashed into the road

#shoreham #airshow #hawkerhunter #sussex People had gathered to watch and enjoy the Shoreham Airshow on the seaside of West Sussex when a Hawker Hunter military jet lost control, failed to come out of a loop and crashed on the busy road killing seven people.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 23 August 2015.

The aircraft was participating in the airshow on the southeast coast and it hit several cars and created a fireball to send thick black smoke billowing into the sky. From a footage of the crash it appears that the jet was performing a loop maneuver high in the air. It banked up steeply, turned over but was unable to complete the loop in time to avoid hitting the ground. It ploughed into the bushes by the roadside.
The plane had hit the A27, a major road that runs along England`s southeast coast. Spectators were kept at the airfield until around 7:00pm and the second day of the airshow was cancelled.
