The whole Erebus business was terribly sad. There was hardly anyone in New Zealand who didn't know someone involved.

I have a personal interest as I flew a Starlifter onto the ice at McMurdo a couple of years before the accident. The incident has fascinated me ever since and I have several books on the subject, including a copy of the original accident report. I also have a tape of the TV programme.

If only Air NZ had admitted that mistakes were made and tried to find the cause instead of attempting to blame the crew. There are lessons for us all here.
