Commoners fall of an aircraft; one dies, Kevin Pietersen makes a mockery
Mumbai: The England and Wales Cricket Board and Kevin Pietersen are not the best of friends. However, the maverick batsman has a fan base that admires his ‘throw caution to the winds’ approach.
However, the same approach landed him in a spot of bother on Friday after he poked fun about two stowaways – one of whom died- who fell from a London bound plane.
The South Africa-born England cricketer apologised for his gaffe but not before some of his followers and Sky News’ Joey Jones made him aware of the gravity of the issue.
Oh no...didn't realise they had been badly injured & one might have passed away. Sorry!

— Joey Jones (@joeyjonessky) June 19, 2015I know. I just saw the tweet - honest mistake once I'd read full article! Thank you! https://t.co/XAsSQHLtSc
