We had just gotten back to the classroom after lunch and were entertaining ourselves with YouTube videos as we usually do, when all of the sudden the Airborne Incident Klaxon began to ring continuously.
We had never heard one of these occur during the day, apart from the drills occasionally heard in the mornings.
We all jumped up to the windows of the classroom to see what all the commotion was. We could see the Fire Response team frantically belting up and down the taxiways, but we couldn't see any cause of the alert.
The alarm was soon silenced and we returned to our classes.
We later found out that there had been a crash of an aircraft; not one of the school's. It had gone down near the North Eastern Side of the airfield in Bladon.

Two people were killed; when we found this out, the same thought ran across all of our minds..
