A WOMAN was crushed to death between a narrow boat and the side of a canal after she fell into the water.

Margaret Billings, 78, became trapped between the narrow boat and the quayside of Kennet and Avon Canal in Devizes, Wiltshire on June 27 last year.

Wiltshire and Swindon Coroner’s Court heard she died soon after becoming stuck, despite being rescued from the water.

In a written statement, husband Michael told the inquest he had been married to Margaret for 51 years and they had been on many boating holidays together.

Margaret, a retired chemist and and keen gardener, had been on a week’s holiday with friends and Michael when tragedy struck.

They had been mooring up the boat in Devizes when Margaret fell into the canal, Michael said.

He recalled telling her to wait after she appeared to try and step off the boat before it had docked closer to the bank.

Michael said: “The next thing I heard was a cry and I saw a splash in the water.

“I did not see her leave contact with the boat and didn’t know what was going on.”

“I looked over the boat to see Margaret facing me in the water and the boat closing in to the bank rapidly. There was nothing I could do.”

SPACE X’s Starship rocket has exploded during a test flight – sending debris across the sky and grounding flights in Florida.

The 403-foot rocket lifted off from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, at around 6.30pm local time but went into an uncontrolled spin just minutes later.

Thursday’s explosion marked the third flopped launch in just months for Elon Musk’s space company.

Engines on top of Starship began shutting down as it streaked eastward, and contact was lost.

The flight was meant to end with a controlled descent over the Indian Ocean.

Bret Bostwick was watching the launch with his children from a catamaran near Ragged Island in the Bahamas when the blast happened.

He told Sky News: “I was watching with my boys, seven and nine years old, and then all of a sudden, you know, boom!

“It just turned into a big ball of fire, actually no noise.

“So there wasn’t actually a boom at that point, but just a big ball of fire.

“And both my kids knew right away it had exploded again. We had seen Starship seven explode.

“So we’re kind of, I guess, little experts down here at detecting the explosion.”

The dad described the wreckage as looking “more like a big firework show with big streamers of different debris going down”, adding that “every chunk of the ship [seemed] to glow a different colour.”
