Thread: EE Lightning crash in overberg SA, 14/11/09

I fear they will do nothing about it The same board encourages speculation, at the moment they all seem fixated on some "clear fluid" which appears to me to just be condensation

(ignoring the then hazards of airframe collision) Well WZ507's seats arent...

yes, a question of timing. What people take exception to, quite rightly, is pictures were being posted of the impact, within hours of the event, whilst recovery personel where still on scene, which is utterly disrespectful and tasteless.

Pictures have been pulled.

Very sad news indeed. If you look at the comments below that story from Rockspider etc, it already seems like a little "knowledge" goes a long way. Blue Skies.

Thanks for that Nashio. 3 failed ejection attempts aircraft can be replaced, but people
