I thought it was going to be something about 9/11

It's on purpose -- the BBC is becoming as bad a clickbait site as the dailywail.

Same here. Totally expected something about nine-eleven.

Nice. http://phrack.org/issues/7/3.html

I'm confused, what exactly did the teen do that was wrong? This doesn't event seem that bad, hardly something to be arrested for, much less sent to prison over it! Besides, he said it was an accident and he's just a kid, it's absolutely ridiculous that people are getting so worked up over something like this.
