View Full Version : Post-accident photos of RV/TBM Avenger Oshkosh taxi collision

Some post-accident photos (no gore, thankfully) showing the RV and TBM
Avenger were posted on a forum on Doug Reeves' RV website:
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=9638

Really gives some perspective on the visibility, or lack thereof, that both
pilots must have experienced.

Look on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation with the title "OSH TBM Accident".

That said, REALLY READ the threads on vansairforce.com because there may be
much more to the story when the actual report comes out...

All of those and their opposites. None of the posts, that I read, claimed
to have been personally watching prior to the accident. That means that I
lot of us have been shooting from the hip, and perhaps we should take a
break.

> Folks were on the scene very quickly?

Commendable, and not surprising.

> The pictures were 'censored' off the site?

VERY high on my list of pet peaves! It just seems that anything that might
be really usefull or informative has a way of being censored on some
pretext--such as "too disturbing" or the alleged privacy of the next of kin.
The Dale Earnhart crash in NASCAR was one good example and this is another.
The net result seems to be the protection of "expert" findings.

I realize that looks like a contradiction of my earlier comment; however it
is not. The first was a suggestion to wait and review all of the evidence.
The last was an expression of my annoyance at the suppression of portions of
the evidence, making the reasoned arrival at any accurate independent
conclusion difficult or impossible.

(Temporary end of rant.)

In case you missed it, I posted them over in
alt.binaries.pictures.aviation under the subject of "OSH TBM accident".

Actully there was a post on the Matronics RV-List that was written by a
person that witnessed the accident about 100 ft from his location.

"TBM" is in the subject line and reference to OSH.

There is no such thing as "the alt.binaries.pictures.aviation site". Each
individual news server carries or doesn't carry usenet newsgroups for as
long as they want, so while they may still be on the server you're looking
at, they may have already expired from the server "Morgans" is looking at.

The news servers I run don't carry alt.binaries at all, because the
terabytes of data involved are too expensive for the non-profits I do it
for.

The easiest wasy to find them is to look for the sender "skywise"
and then "OSH TBM Accident" they are up this morning. I say these are
very educational photos.

try this link to see them, not sure how long it well be avialable.

Could be that some servers don't have the room to keep them up for long.

Go to: http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20060804X01093&key=2
and see what NTSB says about accident (no pictures).

Witness reports, analysis of tape taken of aircraft taxing on taxiway
etc.

From data presented, it is easy to place primary blame.

My condolences to the family of the deceased.

If "everyone" understands that, what possible reason could you have for
telling Morgans that they're still on your server when you don't even tell
him which server you're talking about? How does that help him? And why
would you refer to your server as "the alt.binaries.pictures.aviation
site"?

Mine, also.

It surely does seem to be an open and shut case.

My guess is that there will have to be a motorbike with every taildragger
warbird, next year. That is an unfortunate thing to have to happen, because
Papa taxiway is plenty wide to S-turn.

Complacency kills.

Just to make you feel like a big shot and come on here and tell us
something that everyone that has been on the internet for over a day and
uses usenet already understands, Morgan had already mentioned that
they were not on his server or he might have missed the title to them.

Early reports can be all over the place. Fist report
was that there was only the pilot in the RV-6, next I heard the
RV-6 passenger was killed and the pilot was severally injured.
Reports now say that the RV-6 pilot was not injured so who knows
for sure at this point. I cannot believe that the RV-6 pilot was
not injured at all. Of course the TBM pilot and his wife were
not injured. I feel bad for them also as that would be a awful
thing to have to deal with.

Actually what you stated is a common misconception. I honestly
thought you didn't understand how usenet worked. This is not a dig,
rather an observation due to the terminology used. I thought Paul did
a good job of explaining the architecture of NNTP.

The internet has nothing to do with usenet. The internet uses the
HTTP protocol. Usenet uses the NNTP protocol. Both exist without the
need for the other. NNTP is actually older than "the internet."

You'all have gotten on my last nerve, now.

You all have to remember that most people do not give a rat's A** how or why
it all works. Stop trying to show each other how big your d**ks are, and
get that through your thick heads.

And if usenet has nothing to do with Internet, why do you read it through
services provided by your ISP's?

Really, get a life! Don't try to impress everyone with a bunch of technical
names. General names are plenty for most people to try to comprehend.

May I suggest that you go read a bit about the history of the arpanet,
internet, usenet, and the world wide web?

This should be a good starting point:

I wasn't trying to show anyone how big my dick is. I'd say those with
the thick heads are the ones that don't care to understand technology
they use to some degree. It's a shame that posts applicable to these
forums get your last nerve.

So then should we just call everything that goes in the air a flight

Ahhh! Therein lies the difference!
Many computer users don't care how it works, they only want it to work
correctly when they use it.
It's a machine, nothing more.
You turn it on, it works the way you want it to.
If it doesn't, you find someone to fix it so it does work the way you
want it to.
They don't care how!
They don't care why!
Its not important!
Just make it work!
Period!

There you go! I didn't think that was so hard to understand.

I also wonder how many people DO NOT get their newsgroups through services
provided by their ISP's?

No counting the ones who read them at work.

That's the way most women feel about cars. I don't think they should be
allowed to drive!

Should have put the Avenger passenger (or a warbird fan) sitting on the
wing to clear the taxiway in front. Thats how they did it in WW 2 -
lots of pics of P-47s and Spitfires with a crewchief hanging on to the
guns.

Stupid.

Doubtful that would be allowed at OSH. It really is not necessary, if you
S'turn deeply, and don't just guess that there is nobody in front of you.
It seems to have worked for many years, for most warbird pilots.

Nope, you can't make everything foolproof. They keep on making better
fools.

It didn't ask me my age. I also couldn't find the photo in question.

I didn't find them either. That site would be like finding the
preverbial needle in a haystack to find any specific photo's.
I suspect it's setup to phish for email addresses.

Are there actually any photos of the accident that anyone has posted?

They were on the alt.binaries.pictures.aviation NG a while ago. Not
sure if they are still there.

Anyone want to see the photos send me a valid email address and I will
send them to you.

Not to make light of a terrible tragedy, but it is somehow highly ironic
that part of the first message ID could be read "bumf***er".

Sorry, I'll go away now.
