Saw the pictures on the Channel 10 news tonight in Perth. The comments made about the passengers being thrown clear of the aircraft are not surprising when you see the footage. From the very brief images I saw the aircraft wings were basically torn off or at least very folded back.

Great that everyone got out OK. When you look at it though its amazing they did.

Not sure what the actual conditions were today, however landed there in a Bonanza the other week on runway 27 and it was a real handful. Lots of windsheer and howling cross wind.

Feel for the pilot though. Not something you want to go home and lament about for hours on end.
