Default accident at 2005 junior worlds

One must admire the genteel, sophisticated and reserved manner in
which Dav Law tore into those "fun-killing safety Nazis" who would
want to insist on safer competitions, as well as into the gutless
*******s who post anonymously. The pilot banked, therefore
deliberately turned towards the spectators, before impact. The
analysis of the accident specifies that had it not been for that bank,
the plane would have cleared the spectators safely. There is no
question that the pilot was responsible for the accident, even if the
photographer and the other spectators should have known better than
place themselves in the path of fast, low flying planes. The two
photographs which accompany the report showing spectators ducking and
one plane's belly apparently touching the crops give me the willies.

Cheers anyhow, Charles
