westpac crash

News has it that the A/C had chip light warning, the crew where attempting to do a emergency landing when overhead power lines where spotted. The crew then turned to avoid them to get the A/C done safely when engine failed. Pilot did a amazing job in getting the A/C down, but A/C is a right-off. Crew got slight injuries. Just goes to show the experience and training these guys do really does pay off. Well done to the pilot and crew, and hope you are all back up in the air soon. Keep up the great work.
