Colin MacRae dies in heli crash

Fans of rally sports will be saddened to know that Colin MacRae died in a helicopter crash.

Reported in the TimesOnline.co.uk

THE former rally driving champion Colin McRae was killed and his five year-old son feared dead in a helicopter crash yesterday afternoon. The aircraft came down in Jerviswood, Lanarkshire, half a mile from the family’s home and burst into flames just after 4pm.

What’s also tragic was that it happened during a family and friends outing, as evidenced by the fact that his 5 year old son was with him.

In a twist out of the usual doomsday scenario of global climate change (the politically correct version of global warming), freight will now be able to be shipped across the Artic because of melting ice. Shorter shipping routes, cheaper transport costs…everyone happy?

Now, this is thinking out of the box.

PARIS – MELTING ice in the Canadian Arctic has opened up a shorter and cheaper shipping route between Europe and Asia.
