Stop peddlingling false news. The aircraft involved in the accident was a private jet, HS25B with core sign, 5NAMM operated by Flint Aero and not Overland Airways.

You had better take down the story immediately as well as *tender unreserved apology to correct the false and damaging impression or face the consequence of your libelous publication.
