Family tragedy
I have followed the discussions, speculations and information on this web site over the last few days. Thank you. I am a family member of the young pilot who died so tragically. Without the input of this chat site we would still be totally in the dark. So many questions will never be answered. At least you guys have given us some idea as to what could have happened. As to where the fault lies is irrelevent to us as the time. Eventually we will have to face up to and deal with that but at the moment all that we as a family are trying to deal with is the loss of one of our beloved sons. Thank you so much for all the prayers and words of condolence. Thank you to all who assisted, comforted and stood by at the scene of the crash and to those who are at this moment 'carrying' his parents and two sisters through the reality of Windhoek and all it holds for them.
I must however condemn the press strongly - the visuals were horrific and sensation seeking. How could this have been allowed? This was the first reality his family had of the disaster. It will stay with us forever. Who ever took and published these photographs ...... shame on you!
D was 23 years old. He lived to fly. He was passionate about it. He loved music, diving, photography, made friends at a furious pace, loved, laughed and lived like any normal 23 year old. We will miss him greatly and morn him with great sadness. Please spare a thought for his grieving parents and his two beautiful sisters. There loss is huge.
Our hearts and our prayers are with the familys of the passengers who died in the crash. May God carry and comfort you.
Thank you all again. WP
