A young girl who was on board a US plane that crash landed died yesterday, as it was confirmed that one of the two Chinese teenagers killed in the disaster was hit by a fire engine.

A plane packed with more than 300 people slammed into the runway at San Francisco airport and caught fire, forcing many to escape down emergency inflatable slides as flames tore through the Boeing 777.

A year ago today, Mark Mc Govern played his first and only game for the Ulster football club in San Francisco.

THE Fermanagh footballer who was left in a coma for five weeks this summer has criticised the GAA for their relaxed attitude towards violence on the pitch.

WITNESSES to an incident which left a promising Irish GAA player fighting for his life in the US have told police the alleged attacker said “you won’t get up from that” as the victim lay on the ground.
