There will be more crashes and these pilots know that and they still strap in . Happy to see it’s not been a big thing here or on the news . Special mention to our military boys and girls also , similar sentiments.
Sorry mate. These boys and girls that spend time away from home and loved ones for months on end aren’t in this for altruistic reasons. Let’s take our rose coloured glasses off for a moment and take in the reality that this was probably pilot error and if we want to do a bit of hero worship, maybe thank god they didn’t kill anyone.
