UTV news this evening stated definitively that the accident was caused by a “faulty runway” continuing to be used. – Great – who needs details – better still who needs investigators, their (usually) extensive experience base in piloting, engineering, aircraft status/performance, regulations, human factors, etc etc.; not to mention weeks or months (sometimes years) of work – We’ve got UTV.

Seriously, does anyone know about the touchdown (in ‘normal’ box for CGH or late) or the rumour about an attempted GA ‘on the ground’ – is it true or false? Was the runway contaminated or ‘just’ wet?

I can’t imagine the horror for relatives of the victims – especially those who witnessed it or the immediate aftermath – my thoughts are with them.
