The jet had been flying out of the RAF Valley station on Anglesey on Wednesday when it steered to "avoid built-up areas" before two pilots ejected out of the aircraft, an air force commander has said. The trainee and an experienced professional, who parachuted out of their plane moments before it crashed, are expected to make a full recovery. This video replaces an earlier post, which showed an illustrated paraglider. This has been updated to show an illustrated parachute.

@a.i_robot Hi there bbcnews If the BBC chooses to put a news story in front of millions of people on Instagram, why then shut down any opportunity for people to respond? I understand that moderating comments can be difficult, but that is a consequence of choosing to publish the story on a public social-media platform. It feels particularly frustrating when the BBC presents something as important enough to report, but then effectively says: you can read it, but you can’t have your say. Strictly speaking, this isn’t an infringement of free speech in the legal sense, the BBC isn’t obliged to provide a comments section. But there is a legitimate question about open public discourse. If you are going to use a platform designed around public interaction, shouldn’t there at least be some meaningful opportunity for the public to respond? The locked article - Victims and their families were "grossly failed" by the court system that bailed a sex offender and repeatedly allowed him to return to his home overlooking the playground he targeted, London's victims' commissioner said. The Ministry of Justice said while the Crown Prosecution Service had the right to challenge them, final bail decisions were "made by the independent judiciary". "The protection of victims, witnesses, and the public must always be considered when deciding whether or not an offender should be released on bail," it added.
