With all due respect

I think as in most walks of life familiarity does breed contempt. You may as others have said walked around a dangerous environment many times before and got away with it - however with a jet engine the nearer you tempt those boundaries the closer you get and once you cross the line there is no second chance.

However, whilst the above is a good observation of life (at least in my view) we cant say this is what happend to this poor soul - it could be they stumbled and fell, it could be so sinister they were pushed - I dont think we can speculate really on what happened without the facts but I do applaud the observations that can encourage more respect around the environment.

Keep up the educational and informative reading.

Regards,

A humble PAX
