I fail to see the comparison to road trauma here, they died in a plane crash! They could have stepped off the curb & hit by a bus going to the airport or going to travel by car, it's irrelevant to compare such things??? Everything in life we do is risky but flying is an added risk that in this case was totally avoidable despite what "MIGHT" have happened had they have driven!!!!
Whist CASA/ATSB have poorly handled this report I do believe that a shake up is needed big time!!
These hapless innocent people climbed aboard a plane with a pilot who ought not to have even had a pilots license! Imagine being a family member of the deceased, they would be mortified reading some of the comments here!
I can't even imagine what they still go thru to this day!
