As I'm aware of there is no security check on trains between EU countries, if you can hide a weapon in your baggage, you can get it on the train.

US internal flights used to be like that, then 911 happened and now they are about as strict as for international flights.

Guys the Breaking News thread is for true breaking news reports.

It is not for in depth discussion or opining. That's why it says "No Discussion."

If you have a far fetched question regarding breaking news...put it in the "Ask Anything Thread."

Those posts that were here regarding the US and China hacking each others warehouses and causing the recent explosions have been moved there.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS MODERATION

Pictures of the a Hawker Hunter T Mk7 crash intp automobiles on the A27 highway during the Shoreham Airshow in West Sussex on Saturday, August 22, 2015. The aircraft was performing its routine and did a loop, but could not pull out before crashing.

Up to twenty people on the highway and nearby are reported to have died, although, miraculously, the jet's pilot, Andrew Hill, survived the crash and remained in critical condition in a chemically induced coma. It's not iclear whether Hill used his ejector seat, but the video clearly does not show him ejecting at any time before ther crash. YThe one picture of the crash on the ground shows the canopy canted to the left and what could be evidence of an ejection to the left.

Pictures 1-5:
