Yes I did, thank you SQ7700.
The ATSB found that the presence of methylamphetamine in the pilot’s system increased the risk of operational misjudgements and aircraft mishandling, and pilot incapacitation. This did not necessarily contribute to the accident.
So how do you get, and presumably concur with Ms Ironside's writings, that the pilot was so high on ice that he ripped the wings off?? I'm not for one second condoning his (or anyone else's) drug taking, but if you were a member of his family wouldn't you find that article just a little offensive, as well as being unsupported by what the report states?
Let's be clear here, I have little doubt that the presence of Ice in the pilot's blood could well have been a factor in this accident; my objection is in the way it was reported. All she had to do was insert the adverb "possibly" , or at a stretch even "probably", into her report and there could have been no objection. As it stands, it was crass journalism.
