As you may know, my brother has had his pilot’s license since he was 17, so I flew around with him when we were still teen-agers. Therefore, my first thought was “you can rent jet airplanes in Bulgaria? Cool!” Then l realized they were talking about jet skis or wave runners. My favorite part of the story is “…probable reason for the crash was speeding.” No, I’m pretty sure the cause was that they crossed paths!
Of course, I don’t want to make light of the terrible tragedy that has befallen this family; just the reporting.

It seems this is due to translation and not "Bulgarian Journalism". Check it out; the original is in Bulgarian.
I agree with you anonymous. Maybe it is because they couldn't find a proper word or translated the text with a translating program. Anyway this happens to me sometimes as well. But fortunately there are some native speaker friends with whom we laugh on it and then they help :)
