Eurofighter first crash!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=563179&in_page_id=1&in_page_id=1&expand=true well actually this was the second accident. the first was in 2006

Practically Impossible. The Typhoon even has a voice prompt for the pilot to warn of any mistake. Would you imagine doing a whole approach with a woman screeching "landing gear" in your headset and you don't pay any attention to it? Also, the Daily Mail says that the plane remains flyable. Jeez, if it really were a wheels up, at the very least I would expect the air intakes to take a bashing, not to mention the engine. I guess it's just journalists doing what they're best at... guessing the truth and making a mess out of it!

I agree with Air Gilson on his comment about the press when I read the quote was from the Sun they are famous for making up stories in the U.K and I have special reasons for hating that publication.
