crash involving manchester city players?

wez130 · 28 Apr 2011 at 20:53

I'm hearing unconfirmed reports of a crash involving a truck and man city players with possible deaths near Carrington training ground from people on my facebook. A few people havecommented on it so i have no reason to believe it is fake. No source as of yet, but i'm sure if it's true it won't be long until there is a link, i'll update as necessary.

If it's true, i hope they are ok!

From a man u fan.

Probably De Jong kicking the bus over etc.

Not sure but isn't there a film on iplayer about the 1958 air crash involving the Manchester United squad

Hopefully everyone is ok if true, but you know how this Twitter crap goes.

(This also from a Man Utd fan)

There are a couple of reports on twitter too, search carrington crash. Again, I'm reserving judgement till there's a solid report.

BBC says no.
SKY says no.
Reuters says no.

Facebook says yes.

Now, let me think ...

Apparantly it is Balotelli and Dzeko that have died...

Probably a hoax though.

Funnily enough I searched and found this thread. :3

Nothing here and this website searches loads of news websites.

And this is why unconfirmed means 'nonsense' and not 'likely'.

Beasty · 28 Apr 2011 at 22:00

Well it has been an hour and not started trending on twitter so we can file this under false-alarm.

What? Surely you mean:

I haven't seen any confirmed reports yet so I have no reason to believe it is real

???

Went near that way earlier and saw nothing... don't united train at carrington anyway?

wez130 · 28 Apr 2011 at 22:23

No, because bookface said otherwise. Come on man, try and keep up.
