Don't ride an ultralight in the nig

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Sorry about sending the reference in spanish, but I couldn't find it english.

A man was killed yesterday night when the ultralight plane he was driving crashed into the wires of a high power line. At that time (almost 23:00 PM) it was so dark that it was imposible he could see where he was going.

The plane fell to ground in flames after the crash, and this Darwin Award nominee burnt to death.

What on earth was this idiot thinking by flying an ultralight in the middle of the night? If he knew the first thing about flying he'd realize you need navigational instruments to fly at night, and ultralights don't have such instruments. Thanks, Alberto!
