Facebook's funny reaction to a private jet's shenanigans

As if Malta's congested roads have not seen enough vehicles, an airplane was added to the mix on Wednesday night after a private jet broke through the airport fence, crossed the road and crashed into a building belonging to the Polidano Group.

Nobody was injured in the incident that was provoked by the strong winds that lashed over Malta. But the incident was an instant hit on Facebook as people took the micky out of what happened with some thought-provoking memes and comments.

With incident happening on the same night that Italian football team Inter FC crashed out of the Coppa Italia at the hands of city rivals Milan, the comparisons between one crash and another were not lost on the Nerazzurri detractors.
